Default New Ford Racing Hot Rod CAM M-6550-3V

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?

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...

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

The cams need to be specific for a s/c

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 figurea consrvative 525HP to the pavement.
