That's my plan, 
. I absolutly LOVE how a cammed car sounds! What I like about this cam is that it's engineered especially for the 4.6 3V by Ford, and with the exception of a little tunning, it's pretty much, set it and forget it. I'm looking to compliment it with a Whipple 500HP SC in the Spring. Soooo with my CAI, SCT X3, FRPP shortys, full Magnaflow exhaust incliding high flow cats and x pipe to Magnapacks, FRPP cam, Steeda UDP, the Whipple, I figure a consrvative 525HP to the pavement.

Get some cams for a SC setup and wait for your supercharger.

Aside from supercharging my car, which will happen in the Spring, I'm running out of stuff to do to my car, performance wise....thought I'd never say that...

You need blower grind cams in order to see any gain on a fi car, the stage 1 cams and frpp hot rod cams may give some extra to a non fi motor but will not really do anything at all once its topped with a blower. 520 to the ground on a stock block may go boom and it may not, alot depends on how you treat the car. The weak point of the block is the pistons for one, the stock pistons have less clearence from the rings to the top of the piston and hyper pathetic pistons have always been a weak point. I have seen some with fractures in them that came out of minimally boosted blocks (7-10 lbs). Just remember this motor was desighned for 275 or so rear wheel horsepower and if you double it it is just adding twice as much stress so its only a matter of time before something will fail.

OK, sorry if this has been discussed, but the search option on the site is dead and I'm very interested in this CAM ands what you guys think. I called Ford Racingtoday,they're expecting 50 pieces by the end of the week, the rep told me they sold out IMMEDIATLY! What do you guys think? How many of you plan on installing them in your car? How much should a CAM swap run? Is it worth the 30 extra HP?

And you won't use your tuner unless you get a mail tune or dyno tune. Whipple HO kit comes witha procal tool that recallibrates your car with the FRPP tune.
