Default Increasing HP

Is it a popular mod on my 2015 GT, to increase HP with a cam mod besides going the supercharger route? I was able, with cam, heads and headers to increase my HP by about 100 HP to the rear wheels on my 2008 Z06.

By the time you figure in labor to install the cams you could probably purchase a procharger and have at least 150 more horse power. But there should be plenty of cams out there if you have to stay NA.

Cams should be left up to the real hardcore guys that want to stay N/A. With the cost of cams, installation, and tuning involved it will get expensive real quick.

I looked into cams...installed with tune you ate looking at around 3K. For a 50-70 hp gain I am saving up for a supercharger.

Default Most Bang For The Buck!

I like going with a Stage 1 Roush Supercharger! When the GT 350 hits the dealerships & we see the Ba-BIG PRICE, people will think the HP of a supercharger is the most "Bang for the Buck by far!" It's the safest, most reliable way to go if you don't want to pay GT 350/500 limited supply prices........ & I don't even though I have the money!!

Z06 has one cam. Coyote Mustangs have 4 cams. And with variable valve timing, the Coyotes are able to run a more aggressive cam profile from the factory without impacting streetability, so there's less room for aftermarket cams to improve upon.
