Cams won’t help power thru those wacky 18+ ratios.

Yah man he needs a set of 4.30-4.56 gears. Like, this ain't rocket science.

Yep your right. This isnt a track car. Please put 4.56s in and go on a trip and see how you enjoy the highway.
Greg O helpful seeing the differences. Its really third and fourth. Must have been some fuel mileage something because the comparison is telling. Anything higher than the 3.73s in it would really make it a dog. So you do have more complexity with this car and I assume cam swaps are too costly then? More than $5k with parts and labor? Anyone done it that you know of?

But no, cams are a terrible idea. At the end of the day, in your shoes I’d do a custom tune “by the right person”, leave it stock, or install a PD blower.

My Bullitt is a turd between 2500-3500 rpm. The throttle controller is what helped me in that rpm range.

K.. this whole thread is just stupid . Not a little stupid.. but like mind boggling stupid. Truck intake ? Now truck cams ? Jesus man just put a Cummins diesel in it and call it a decade.
Yep, cams but no super charger as well? There are several kits that are a little more than bolt on, and can be done in a weekend; and not that much more in cost. Rear end change, again not hard at all. Get a separate third member off ebay or local junk yard and have it done; swap is half a days work. This isn't a simple pushrod V8, cams are a little more radical of a mod than in the past. One thing this thread has done is several of the personalities here that will argue about the color of the sky all on one side; pigs are flying.

Errmmm …

Maybe it’s actually quite forward thinking, have you seen the truck like S650 front end … ?

Just saying … :giggle:

Gears, but pretty sure a bunch of people said that already.

Oh and one other idea….


















Gears!

Doesn’t have to be 4.56, 4.09 helps a lot. Drastic improvement in felt torque, 2500rpm or below on the freeway depending on speed and tire size.

The easiest is to put a gen 3 truck manni on it. IIRC it is a 40 lbft boost at 2500 and averages +20 from idle to 5500. You will lose power over 6500

Is the ford power pack the same setup that the bullits came with stock?
No. The bullit has a different intake manifold (gt350), so the tune won't be the same.

I cant comment on other tunes but the FRPP really did wake up the bottom end, for mine. Before it I was seriously let down, and sixth gear impossible to accelerate in if your engine speed was below 2k. After the kit there's a lot more oomph and 6th doesn't feel labored at all. Getting used to actually using first has also helped.
