5.4 2v cams

smokedya2 · Dec 7, 2013

I bought a set of 5.4 2v pi heads and trying to decide what cams to put in them. I currently have the heads in the machine shop getting a street/strip port and polish. I have a pi intake new upper 75mm throttle and running a supercharger. I been looking at trick flows stage 2 cams and comps thumpers.
How about some input on you mod freaks this will be my first build. :headbang:

Comp 270's work we'll, good power band, flat torque.....I liked them, search 12secsn95 on youTube and hear the old setup...

A lot of 5.4 guys run the comp 270s

I got comp 274's in my 5.4l. They are nice.

What are your hp goals? Is the bottom end built for 400+ rwhp?

274s get my vote

JLP stage 2's are pretty awesome

Youll be far better off just stay n/a with some thumpity cams! No headache of all the extra beefed up force induction have to's. Not to mention a lot cheaper!

Cms stage 2s

If you are going blower than why not get some custom grinds done for @ the same cost? Check and see what the lightning crowd is running and don't just settle for an off the shelf set that is designed for use in a N/A 4.6.

The 270's work well in boosted apps but you can do better, and the 274's are NPI cams they work but again you can do better.

Call/Email JLP or CMS etc and see what they suggest to best take advantage of the added cubes and boost.

JLP won't give out their specs... but I plan on getting a can profile done on them in January.... cms sound basses too me but the JLPs are the go to cams for most lightning owners
