Default Cams?

I searched and only found posts for V8's. I saw a set on that one site for v6's ( can't remember name right now) and had a few questions. Are they worth it for a n/a v6 with basic bolt ons (exhaust, cold air) and do they make a noticible difference in sound and power. Also I would only do it if i could install them myself, how hard is it? btw i think it was supersixmotorsports.com or something

Aight so the only way I would buy it with that power gain would be if it caused the exhaust to be much louder and throatier. Any sound clips you know of?

See http://www.RPM-mustangs.com/ for a nice selection of cams.

Now with just basic bolt ons a cam is pointless as you really need to open up your internal airways for it to reach it's full potential. In other words you need to swap out the throttle body, port and polish the upper and lower intake, as well as port and polish the heads along with a little head rebuild work.
