OrionStang Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 It would help. But only if you have a custom tune made to go along with the cam swap, preferably tuning on a dyno. What car is this for? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford302Redneck Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Go with Crowler stage 3, with their upgraded springs to match. It will open a new powerband and they claim good numbers from the upgrade. Plus they have a nasty idle. Which is always good. But regardless this isn't the best site to ask for advise on car performance. But more info on what your car/truck you have. As it will determind which route you should go for.

Ford302Redneck Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Do you have PI heads? I don't think you do, and that would be the best upgrade. Or at least the PI intake. PI heads was found on 99-04 2V 4.6 stangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Unless you replace the bad parts with stock replacements, you will need to retune the ecu for it to run right. If your car is a 96 or newer, its just an easy(but not cheap) flash tune. Im sure about older stuff. Depending on your budget, I would say new heads, the cam swap, cold air intake, and exhaust upgrade. The throttle body is a good addition.

Ford302Redneck Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Honestly, you would be better off with complete PI head kits with PI intake. This will gain more than just cams on the non PI heads. Unless you want to do both head/cam/intake upgrade, then get bare heads with values, and build them to match your cam specs. But in your shoes PI heads/intake would be the better upgrade than just cams. IMO. And I wouldn't think you need a tune, but I'm not sure. But with cams you need one regardless.

xXxOuTLaWxXx Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Yes, the P.I conversion is the best thing you could do for really great hp numbers in a non P.I engine. You should reflash your ecu because the difference in cam and head flow. Look through Summit racing they have them for around $1000 for the kit. It's worth every penny!
