comp cams

RE: comp cams
I did the stage 3 cams a couple of months ago. I am pleased with them. I dynoed 345/332 after custom dynotuning for the cams. All in all it was a 39 hp gain. I dropped the idle to 545 and the rumble is great. I posted a clip but the audio stunk. Just got a new camera, so I will be doing another soon.

RE: comp cams
Music City's is the highest I've seen.
You tell me what else we can do! (on a budget)
I've got $34k in my car and mods.
How much hp do you want? How much money do you want to spend?
I've got enough.
There's always someone who has more...

RE: comp cams
You do not want to know the install cost.. It will scare you off.
Lets just say 10-15hrs is a common charge for install time.
Sine MusiccityGT gained 39hp with the stage 3 I'm really going to have to get my rear in gear and order some cams and ported heads.
Hell just a 39hp increase from cams would make me a very happy mustang driver. That would put me at around 360rwhp. Only 40rwhp from my goal of 400.

RE: comp cams
I got charged about $550 for the install because he had to change the valve springs (very time consuming).
Yeah - my idle is about 950 when it's warmed up. (950-1000)
Go to Comp Cams web site and read the recommended idle speed.

RE: comp cams
I still have good oil pressure and adequate charge rate even with the UDP's at 545 rpm's. Being a stick, the car is not at load at an idle. It sounds wicked. You can really hear the cams loping bigtime at a lower idle. RUFDRAFT - If you only paid $550, you got a heck of a deal! I did mine myself, but the going rate is $1200ish. normally. I strongly suggest getting a custom tune for the cams. I picked up 10 more horses from my old custom tune with cams after tuning for them. I have since added a 1 piece D/S, Fidanza flywheel and a Centerforce D/F clutch. Got to get it back on the dyno. Should be a good gain now over the last dyno of 345/332 with the lighter rotational mass!
