You are gonna have rediculous amount of torque, my lift is 498 and bucks pretty nicely Besides that i dont really know much about them either From past knowledge more low end power means less top speed but i could be wrong.

Get something with a little less lift, you're going to have PTV clearance issues. What are your goals for the car?

also, heres another part of its description


This Mustang has the Sanja Performance front, rear, and side ground effects with door fillers, along with a Cobra R hood with SVO scoop and a Saleen wing on the rear. The 5.0 emblems are from Muskat Racing and are real Carbon fiber. The Paint is Black PPG base coat clear coat. The Suspension has Front tubular A-arms with Griggs Racing 350lb front coil-overs on late model Mustang GT struts, and 300lb rear springs. Sub frame conectors and the rear control arms are boxed upper and lower and boxed attaching points for the control arms This car handles very good. It has the Flaming river manual rack on the car but I do have the power steering pump, belt and brackets to install the power steering back on the car. I also have the power rack but it would need to be exchanged for a new rack.

good specs but ptvc is a issue..unless you modify to allow a bigger cam...and at that lift youll need a high stall,or a stick..push rods,lifters since its a high lift..id go with a lil smaller around 500 and 220s-230s @50...maybe a 110 ls...to make big power up high ya have to sacrifice low end and vise versa...

Default RE: Noob cam question...

thanks, but what do you think about the mod list? is the cam compatable with the other supporting mods?? will i have problems with it being such a high lift cam?

oh and if you have any ruff estimate of how fast the car would be (1/4 time or something) that would be cool!

but i like all the suspension done to it, i more of a turns guy so thats a big plus! but ya the looks and the motor dont hurt either lol.

EDIT: its got crane springs and push rods... and its a 5 sp, and its got 1.7 roller rockers, is that enough for this cam? and whats ptvc??
