I have a lot of questions on these Comp Cams. I have been really getting into replacing the camshafts in my car.

1.) I have 3.73 gear ratios and a catback with shorty headers. I am going to upgrade the exhaust but probably after I get the cams. Will stage 2 comp cams work with my car even though I dont have 4.10 gear ratios and an x pipe/longtube headers?

2.) Where is the best place to buy comp cams? I heard www.rpmoutlet.com is really bad in service but their prices are pretty good. I was looking at www.lethalperformance.com and the cams cost 680 bux I believe and then add the cost of valve springs.

3.) I was planning on going with stage 2 if and when I get these cams. Anyone know the horsepower gains with these? Im sure its noticable. Does the car need special tuning for the cams also?

Brenspeed sells the stage 3 Comp's in a kit:

Go with stage 3

That's what I got. They are getting installed this week and hopefully the car will be ready tomorrow night.

I've got the Stage 3 with springs from Brenspeed.

Very pleased.

C6's are not.

j.w. i want to hear your car when you get the cams done. where do you live in maryland, ever go to any tracks? p.s. i love the way your car looks, it was one of my favorites during the cruise. i'll probably be at mason dixon sat or sun. maybe you can come race?

I'm south of Westminster in Carroll County, MD. That was a spectacular cruise, wasn't it?

It looks like they will finish the car today, so I can't get it tuned until early next week now--that pretty much kills any hope of hitting the track this weekend. If the weather is good next weekI hope to hit the track Friday at Capital or Sunday at Mason-Dixon, and see if I can generate some better numbers. My son and I were at Mason-Dixon last Sunday as guests of the Northern Virginia Mustang Club. They rent out the track one Sunday morning a month. We got 13 runs in 3 hours, and that's with taking breaks. We're competing on who can get to the 12s faster without a power add, just bolt-ons and top end work on the engine. He spanked me in his 87 Mustang GT on Sunday with a 13.2, and the best I could pull was a 13.6. I think the cams will get me closer to his numbers, and then I can start tweaking the suspension, replace the driveshaft, UDPs, etc.

I'll post the dyno numbers after the cams are done and I'm tuned, and see what day works for everyone at the track.

See you soon Twister...

yea, thats the other cam shafts I was considering, by BBR. Those are nice. I saw a video of an automatic GT with intake, tune, stage 2 BBR cams, 4.10 gears, x pipe and catback beat a supercharged saleen and an evo. Thats pretty sick... Is BBR cams stage 2 would be nice if not stage 3 comp cams.

will my 3.73 gears be ok for now with the stage 3 comp cams or the BBR stage 2 cams??? i plan on upgrading the exhaust after the cams... i just want to make sure my 3.73 FRPP gears will handle the stage 3 or stage 2 stuff...!
