Have a back to back dyno sheet to support your claim? Any back to back track times to support your case? Or was this all "tested" by the butt dyno?

LOL I was going to say the same thing. I am sick of people who think their car is fast but have never been to the track.

I hear ya. I'm just sick of all the bad information out there posted by "internet experts".

Well the only way that people learn is from trial and error, especially car guys, so if he wants to do it go ahead and let him. As for the crane cam swap, I also read it in the article and there were some very nice gains, if I remeber right it was 30hp and 20 ft/lbs of tq. So can someone that disagrees with the stock 5.0 motor with an aftermarket cam swap explain why 5.0 mustangs and fast fords is wrong? Or was it the dyno?

It's his money and car, I really don't care what he does. It's not going to effect me in any way at all. I will offer you this, you can make a dyno say anything the customer wants it to say. Furthermore, do you believe everything you read in magazines? Did it ever occur to you that they get money from advertisers. Did it ever occur to you that if the advertisers sell more products then they will continue to advertise in the magazines (netting more money for the mag)? Does it surprise you when a advertisers product is the new "wonder" part of the month?

Then why do people come here and ask if " (insert mod here), is worth. it"? Come to the dyno I use and I can make you your stock GT have 300 rwhp, but that really means nothing at the track (the place where the dyno bs stops)

I'll add even more of my time to this thread with this:

Nobody can recommend you a cam without knowing more about the car and engine componants.

Piston to valve clearance = you WILL have to measure, no taking the lazy way out on that one. And I can hear it now, so and so has the same engine and runs XXX cam with no issues. Is so and so's engine EXACTLY the same as yours? How does he know he doesn't have any issues? Because the valve hasn't broke thru the piston yet? Maybe he babies his junk and it never goes above 4,000RPM.

Look man there are people on here all the time that make crazy claims with no proof to back it up. Your new here and as such you need to earn your stripes so to speak, people are not going to take your advice just because you make a post. How are we ******** for asking for proof? I stand by my claim that a stock cam is a good chioce on this car. You would be suprised how far I could take a stock cam in a 5.0

********? Now I'm going to be a *******. Remember, you brought this on yourself..

So you spent the money (about $180) on a new cam, plus injectors (about another $200) and you ran what? Oh here let me help you:

Big F'n deal. You could have ran that with the stock cam and spent the $400 elsewhere and went faster. LOL, silly rabbit
