Well obviously who ever has what is gonna vote for that cam. U should call brenspeed and ask them the difference between the cams. I will say if u ever plan on a FI there is a thread about the hot rod cams effecting boost

yea I was reading that thread...I really doubt I would ever get boosted. I am kinda leaning towards the brenspeed ones just cause its their grind..They have probably tuned a bunch of them and they just started carrying the hot rods not to long ago.

I just had the FRPP cams installed in my 07. Sounds awsome and runs fast. On a seperate note, be preparred to loose some gas milage.

I've heard a lot of people mentioning that the Brenspeed cams are better for keeping low end torque and low speed drive-ability. I would vote for theirs.

For the record, I don't have either.

I never planned on going FI either............but it was the single best mod decision I have made.......thank you Roush for putting the m90 on sale!

Love the tone of my d rockers but I did not like the loss of low end power with the tune I had for them. You really have to ask yourself what your looking for with this mod. Its not that much power for the cost, but they do sound good.

With my m90 that loss of low end torque, well its not an issue now!! LOL

Ive been driving for 2 weeks, i don't have any low end isssues, the car is fast the whole time, mine is a daily driver. I had mine dynotuned and that may be why its so awsome. If your gonna get your car dynod, ask which cams they prefer or work with the most. Just a thought. im getting 323 rwhp

When I got the DRs installed I had 410s and I didn't have much low end loss but it was a little. I also had NO intentions if going FI after cams were installed but I did
