Comp Cams Driveability

[FaYgOkRiS]

Is anyone running stage 2 or 3 comp cams. I just wanted to find out about the driveability for a daily driver. And if long trips were any less pleasant.

They're going to be less street friendly, but with good tuning it will be livable.

My tuner told me not to throw my money away? I was under the impression cams opened up the engine for another 20+

Depends on what you can live with HP per $$.

I had Comp Cam Stage 2's installed by Street Lethal Performance in Western PA. It was a 2011 and Lund did the tune himself. I was maybe the 3rd tune Jon did on a Coyote w/ Cam swap. Also had Stainless Works Exhaust (full). 407-433RWHP.

I think I posted a video here before.

The Stage 2's were pretty fluid, lots and lots of LUB, LUB, LUB. There is very little stall or hesitation at idle. It did rock it's idle RPM between 800-1100 but that's programmable. It would spin pass 7500 BUT, no power there with my set up.

Stage 2's are very fluid during normal operation. There is some choppiness but, I feel that could be taken care of via PCM.

Well I decided to hold off until I get everything else installed. But I may revisit it, before to long.

I run comp stage 3's. Driveability does go down but I love them.

I was going to do cams on my 2015 GT a while back, but was told the same thing by a tuner. Around $3000 for parts and labor is a bit steep for 35 rwhp. That's very close to boosted territory with gains of 250+ rwhp easy. Also the GT350 intake manifold swap is making close to 35 rwhp and they can be had for $960. I still love the sound that cams give, so if I do decide to get them they will be the very last thing that I do to the car......

Unless a shop wants to test a set...

Curse of the Mod-Motor lives on!

Could you just run a Ghost Cam to get that sound? Save the money of real cams for a blower.
