[QUOTE="olgreydog7, post: 9189159, member: 65150"] IIRC, it uses the Hot Rod cams available from Ford for the 3v now, except the profile is cut into 4 cams instead of 2. So, there is room there. Unfortunatly, it takes longer than a couple hours for a cam swap. Is there room on the 05+ cars to pull the cams with the motor in the car? The CAI can probably be improved on. The headers, maybe just a little, but most likely not worth the cost. You know an axle back will at least make it sound better and I'd guess that it still either has 4 cats or at least restrictive ones. If you get it without the track pack, you can tune the suspension how you want. The shifter is likely to be crap. If the blower companies are smart, they will have thicker head gaskets made so you can reduce compression. Gears of course will always be a good mod. There is still plenty of room for mods. Since the CAIs won't be as dramatic a change, maybe the price will drop because people won't pay $200 for 5-10 hp. I remember thinking that the 305 hp Cobra was pretty much maxed out and I was at a loss with how to mod my 99 when I first got it. We will find a way. To me, that is more fun that just doing what everyone else has been doing. [/QUOTE]
