Gots to bbe streetable also. Pretty sure im going with this kit though.
basically what i was gonna ask...

and are the new valves necessary? i know the new springs are, that doesn't suprise me at all, but would i be ok to stick with the stock valves?

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

From my understanding you can use the stock valves But youll need to get matching springs for the stock valve and not the springs in the kit. So if you keep the stock springs youll need to buy differant springs. Comp cams has ones that will work. Im not sure the part number but if you search you can find that someone else did just that to keep the stock springs. He did a whole write up of the cam kit includeing part numbers.

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

The valves that come in the kit are excellent valves. I would use them. Motor really needs to come out also.

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

did we ever find out if you can buy just the cams instead of the whole kit? i have to imagine that replacing the springs and cams would be a lot easier than pulling the head off to replace the valves as well

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

I want to swap my cams out but im not too sure which one i want....i have SLP LM2's, BBK o/r X-pipe, and BBK LT headers(1 5/8 primaries, 2 1/2 back), BBK Twin 65mm Throttle Body, and K&N. I looked at the Comp Cams XE-R Stage 2 as idle doesnt really matter to me. Would this cam unleash the horsepower im looking for? or would Ford GT or FR500 Cams work better. Im looking to make as much Horsepower on the stock Longblock as possible. The cams i want are Xtreme XE-R Series, XE270BH-114.......and i was wanting to know about how much power i could get from these cams? and would it be worth it in the long run? as in want to go N/A anyway. And if i am upgrading to a rough idling cam like this, what problems could i encounter because of that?

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

It depends if you want a rougher idling cam or not. Fr500s are good because the really don't lope that bad. There are some people getting some good power out of crower stage 3s too but you will get the rough idle.

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

Anything more lopey than the FR500 cams I have on would not be anything I'd consider. If lopiness is all you want, you should settle for something in the stageII cam catagory IMHO.

With a good tune the FR500 cams will idle very smooth. My engine sounded stock with them. You can tune in a lope if you really want one.

I'm selling 5 FR500 cam kits if you are interested in getting one?

In order to install the entire kit you have to remove the heads. I recommend you just install the valve springs and cams. I'll PM you a price.

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

Finally got my FR500 cams installed by MPH. I think they are perfect for the mach. Just a hint of a lope and make good power. Wish the mach came with these cams.

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

Put down 320hp to the wheels. I added JBA midlength hearders, FR500 cams and tuned by modular powerhouse in GA.

Seems low for your mods, what's the tq? The hp should be 330+ with those cams and headers.

Those are good numbers for an automatic but for a 5 speed are quite low.

Re: Ford Racing Cams Installed - WOW!!!!!

The hp was 320.19 at about 6k rpm. Torque was 323.68 at 4900rpm. Air fuel was steady at about 13. It was tuned with xcal 2 on a dynojet. No head or intake porting was done.
