I spoke with Comp Cams and it looks like all these 15+ cams will be ready to start shipping at the beginning of 2016. We have them available for pre-order on the site along with matching spring and retainer kits if you want to get serious N/A or if you are using a power adder.

Comp makes some of the best off the shelf cams, especially for the mod motors. To the poster saying they've seen cam breakage in the older push rod stuff, can you provide links? I've exclusively used Comp in all of my pushrod 5.0L's and they have not only spec'd out as advertised, but I've never had one EVER have a defect let alone break.

What the difference between stage 1-3 and what's difference between N/A and none N/A does that mean I can't use the n/a ones if I later upgrade to supercharger ? And also do you know what power gains should be around ? Realistic numbers not the fake exhaust number gains companies claim

Well, since the cams have not been released for private testing, I cannot quote any numbers. The 11-14 cars were picking up solid power with the stage 3's on N/A set-up, around 30 rwhp. The difference between the stages is the amount of duration and the lobe separation, all the specs are listed on each cam's respective page.

You can use a blower with with a N/A cam but it won't be as efficient as you'll be blowing boost out the exhaust valve for a short period. If you for sure plan on going s/c'd, then go with a blower cam.

it has an engine!
So if cams are so beneficial wouldn't more people be making them for them.... I mean really if there's a market wanting them companies go crazy and start mass producing . if gains are huge and cams are priced right there's no reason people wouldn't do

They are priced fine. They arent over priced in the slightest. You want couple hundred dollar cams play with a foxbody or 351w.

So does stage 3 mean my car is gonna shake to hell on idle... And also will my car be affected if I do the blower cam and run it as as for about a year than later add supercharger ? Only reason I even say better numbers than the old Mustang is guy claimed 50-60hp gain... I'm thinking realistically 30-40 but if he said it than idk

Yes, the higher the "stage", the more aggressive the cam will be meaning a rougher idle. No, the car will not be affected negatively but it just won't be as efficient in N/A form. You will still pick up power over the stock cams N/A running the blower grinds.

In my opinion, if you're going with FI then wait to buy your cams until you are ready to install the SC. Do it all at one time and negate any issues with drivability on higher duration cam profiles in a NA motor.

Think I'm going to just do n/a cams and stay with those for a while . wouldn't regardless it be beneficial since people doing supercharges are doingthose with stock cams... I'd have upgraded cams period so either way it would be beneficial over stock ones with a blower. Also I'm not trying to make stupid power I want to progressively build my car so I don't get bored of it.

This.

Back when I used to build a lot of engines (street and bracket cars), I would recommend a Comp cam and related components probably 95% of the time. Never had an issue. Valve event specs always seemed a little better on their stuff when it came to Fords too, versus the other guys.

These days they are the first place I look as well. :thumbsup:

How high can you spin the bottom end of the 2015/2016 Coyote? Upgrade the cams, springs, retainers, etc top end valvetrain stuff and I am sure you can take it as high as you want but where is the limit on the pistons, rods, and crank?

With an upgraded billet oil pump I'd set the limiter to 8,000 and shift around 7,700rpm, of course this with an upgraded intake manifold to take advantage of the extra RPM's. With the stock intake manifold I wouldn't bother going much higher than 7,300rpm.
