RE: hot rod cams
Ya a lot of people have been talking about them, they get you a very unique sound but I don't think is completely appealing to all mustang owners. Just saw in the newest MM&FF mag that www.suttonhp.com has them. I personally went with comp cams, sounds great and will get me 40 rwhp with VSR cams. Bringing my car to the shop tomorrow.

RE: hot rod cams
I purchased mine from JPC Racing. He had them in stock when I bought them a couple of weeks ago. I had them installed by a local Ford Dealership (Cross Roads Ford, Cary NC.)
The cam price was close to $800 like everyone else is stating. The outcome and the installation cost is below. Note the prices below are for labor unless specified otherwise. The only other item that I had engine performance wise is a BBK CAI that is not listed below.
Torque was fairly flate starting at 280+ at 2800 rpm and peaked at 313.0 around 4200-4400 rpm range and did not taper too bad. Bottom torque fell to 250 at 6300 rpm.
HP was about 150 at around 2800 then peaked at 302.5 at about 5200 rpm. HP did not fall below 300 through 6300 rpm.
Mods that were added this roundand the install prices (labor only) were:
FRPP Hot Rod Cams - $337.50 (Plus $125 for sensor part that I did not supply.)
BBK Ceramic Polished Shorty Headers - $375
Steeda Red Powder Coated Valve Covers - Included in cams above
Steeda UDP - $112.50
FRPP 3.73 Gears - $487.50
Dyno tune $250 and used my SCT X3 Tuner

Hope this helps. I will post a new thread later as I get the dyno scanned and more infor from the shop that performed the dyno.

RE: hot rod cams
+1, JPC has em in stock... I am waiting for people such as mylocaldj and jmoose... etc (people who have the cams) to post their results. I heard doug from Bama said he saw a 17 rwhp gain across the graph... so seems pretty good for how little these cams require (and their price).

RE: hot rod cams
They did give me a little break on the hourly rate since I was having so many things done. They quoted $75 per hour. Overall, I don't think that would have changed the price much for any one of the items.

RE: hot rod cams
Got mine from LateModelRestoration for about the same price everyone else is saying. Im waiting on Dougs revised tune for me so I can I have the install and tune done all at the same time. Im being charged $300 from a friend to have mine installed. He works at a peformance shop and is doing them on the side. Doug said he was removing his Comp cams for these. Should be interesting when he gets his installed if he hasnt already.
