Ford Racing cams

[AngelOreo]

There will be gains, but I still believe fairly minimal.

Any guesses as to whether the gains will be worth the cost\time required

Adam said he's going to get custom grinds done I would personally wait on those and then compare the cost/performance benefit between multiple options.

great to see Ford put them online. to set the record straight here:

-these cams are upgrades over stock, but still quite small compared to most aftermarket cams for other engines.
-There absolutely will be gains in power due to the 0.4mm/4deg and 1.1mm/16deg increase in lift and duration - this is a very conservative cam upgrade
-the short valvespring height combined with soft spring rate are limiting us from going bigger (without changing valvetrain components)
-each ecoboost engine uses a unique HPFP. none are compatible with each other at this time



the Daytona Prototypes and LMP race cars all use a Roush Yates engine based on the 3.5L in the SHO/Flex/Explorer. These engines use E98 and dual HPFP driven by dual cams. it requires approx $7k in machining work to the passenger side head to suit this, hence the reason it was never offered to the aftermarket.

This is not the same as an 3.5L f150 engine which is used on the new ford GT. that is next gen..

Off topic, but seeing as you guys are very knowledgeable on the EcoBoost motors...can you explain how different the EcoBoosts in the F150 and GT are?

I'm going to run the ford cams first and see what type of power they make, then look into custom grinds!

But the average person would probably benefit from waiting for your findings before jumping on the Ford ones no?

I thought you were telling him to just wait for our camshafts haha. If the Ford ones work well we will use them, but I highly doubt they are going to support our goals.

Just want to see all the options first. That being said, if these cams were available right now and not "sometime in the summer" I would probably be running them in my engine.

That reminds me of that iconic movie quote...."roads? Where we're going we don't need roads...."

I know someone else said they had the alignment tools already made. Here is the first production run I've seen of them.

The expected release date on the FR cams is August 31st. If they're really gonna be that cheap, then I'm ordering a set without a doubt.

ETA for shipping is 8/31/15, good price for 2 cams!

Tree'd ya, bruh! Lol

Nice! Anyone that is interested in getting a set I will have 5-10 sets of the first batch in possession when they release. I will be releasing them by themselves, or with upgraded valvesprings!

You gotta wonder if they will change the sound of the car? I'll be waiting to see!
