FRPP Hot Rod Cams
So...a bunch of people are running the Hot Rod cams in their Mustangs, I'm even thinking about throwing them in my car, even though I know I could get more power with blower cams, you just can't get that sound with any other mild cam out there without phaser limiters. Now, my 5.4 in the truck has the same heads as my 'Stang, and the cams are for either the 4.6 or the 5.4, but I haven't heard of anyone putting them in their truck. They're supposed to be good for about 20-25 h.p. on the 4.6 so I can only imagine with the extra displacement that the 5.4 would LOVE them. They lose ZERO torque down low on the 4.6, I wonder how the powerband on the 5.4 would respond to them. Has anyone seen a truck with those cams, or videos of people who do, or dyno sheets, or know anyone running those cams in their truck?
And a question for Bill...could you tune for them? Any input is appreciated.

I imagine this is the kind of a challenge Bill would love, but wouldn't he have to do it "in person"?

Dang, I think I might have my next item on my to-do list!
I live close enough, I'll volunteer to let Bill do the "on-site" trial run testing on

People are having success with e-mail tunes once the tuner can fix the idle issues that are associated with running the cams on a stock tune. I don't know how many different configurations of cai, exhaust, etc with the cams he'd actually have to have installed and tuned, or if it's a matter of tweaking for predetermined values to find the sweet spot.

Hey Grabber523
Have you put the brisk plugs in the truck yet? Lars
