I read that these cams sound incredible, add 30 hp at the rear wheels but they decrease low end torque. Isn't this counter-productive? And how much torque do you lose?
A good calibrator can make it minimal, if not no loss at all. If anything, you loose a bit under 3000 RPM. Not an issue for 99% of people.
I installed them intentially to get rid of some low end with the blower for the road courses. Still have more than I need off the corners, but it's controllable now.
And oh yeah...they sound cooler than a frozen terd in January

Which cam did you go with? Hey, and is that 1666 Mustang made of wood or bronze?

FRPP Hot Rod. LCR took care of me, and I didn't want to do the phaser mod with Comps. I am new school, I believe in VVT. The FRPP guys weren't to kean on me using them with a blower, but we got them to work great, as has Brent at Brenspeed and Anderson FMS. The mid-range with the blower is amazing, then I upgraded blowers and am back to where I was. Drifting instead of turning LOL. I did spend a day with Vaughn Gittin JR last month...bad influence
If I was running 1320ft at a time I may have gone with a Comp blower cams with springs and everything, but I knew I was done spending 12 seconds or less in the car for the same price as a whole day on a road course
If you mean because it never leaves the garage. I wish the 66 was invisible. Like sold and out of my way. May be sending it to an Aussie this fall if he likes the pics I send him of the underneath.
50 miles on that 66 in the last 2 years.

No... I meant look at your signature... It says 1666 Mustang.
But didn't you do the supercharger at the same time?
Not on the other Foose. It stayed NA with the cams, UDP, shorty headers until it wound up pushing up Daisies. Although thinking about it, I did change the gears to 3.73 too. I just can't remember when I changed them.

I have FRPP HotRods and stock 3.31's in the rear, ther may have been a loss of torque in the low end but i did not notice, as mentioned, the mid/high gains make up for the losses, if any. I got a Dyno tune when the cams were isntalled.
I made 302 hp on a Mustang Dyno, which is roughly 340 hp on a Dyno jet, the car feels stock up to 3500 rpm, then it starts to pull really hard. My redline was bumped up to 6400 by the tuner, i make peak tq at 3,800 and peak hp at 6,400 rpm!!!!
Yes, they sound incredible, especially when you lower the idle and have a high flow exhuast system
