Cam headers gears heads intake

i called to inquire how much a cam install and shit would be, fuckers wanted 2k.... and that didnt even cover the dyno tuning part.

which my next question is, how much should it run me to have cams done?

Nearly 2k. Thats not a bad price. The downside of having 4 cams... You dont see many people cam their mod motors or coyote because the parts can easily cost $2000 for a 20-45hp gain. The VVT in the coyote is what gives it such great average power across all rpm. You have to install phase limiters with the new cams to keep from having piston to valve contact. So, you really aren't gaining duration. The gains are coming from the increased lift.

It's not an LS motor that picks up 125bhp from a $650 cam swap.

that fucking sucks i got a guy thats willing to do mine when i get home for 250+ lunch and its done in 2-3 hours. but then again i also know the guy so that helps

yeah i def needa call around a bit more and get quotes. i would really love to cam the mustang, that shit sounds heavenly, but id be paying more for the labor/tuning than the actual parts lol.. such bullshit.




so note to self, buy chevy next time lol

i guess ill just do a few minor, tasteful, exterior mods and call it quits on the mustang. its apparently not worth it to continue adding performance to it. my next car (hopefully the stingray down the road) will be a better platform to mod.

it better be a stick....

This

Haha it will be no worries.

On a side note, most likely since I cant get cams, im just gonna get a ghost cam tune, sounds just as sexy and costs 1/16 the price.

Do you have headers already or am I thinking of someone else??

CAI + Headers + tune from AM shouldnt be TOO bad. You can install the CAI yourself in like 5 minutes, the headers are a bit more work but I did my own (with help from my dad) in a day.
That will make it sound WAY better and yield some powa!
