Hey everyone! im going to be doing a PI head swap to my 98 GT while doing so I will be also doing long tubes and cams. my question is what cams to go with! im looking for some with a nice lope to it, with decent power gains, the car will be N/A for a while and I will eventually be putting 3.73 in the rear. what are good cams to get for it?
PI head swap and cam upgrade!!

A midly modified head & cam combo should put a pi swap right around 290-296rwhp not bad though in my opinion

I have no doubt the Modular Head Shop pieces are good. Me, I have a set of brand new Ford Romeo PI heads and cams I scored for $700 to put on my 98. Modular Motorsports has a head and cam set for $1,700. How much extra HP is the $3,000 Modular Head Shop Stage 2 set up going to give me over my stock heads, and over the MM heads? Some of us are on a budget.

Another thing to look at, how do those heads compare to Trick Flows? I think you can find Trick Flows for $2400. Granted they don't come with cams. But I'm of the mindset that I'll stick with smaller cams for now and get better heads if need be. Then swap cams later on.
"IF NEED BE"....!?

I wish mhs still had their old grinds - they switched suppliers from bullet to comp due to the ridiculous backlog, it appears.

Comp a much better cam grinder. I will say Nick McKinney of mhs had the cam selection figured out tho

Everyone at Bullet left Comp and started the new company. Nick is gone..RIP. But Bill is still there and now the MODGOD.
And yes, Comp is the most advanced cam company in the world for now..I see the same advancements at Eagle and wonder who is stealing who's technology?
It would be fun to make a Ls engine with the new products from both, 30 HP for free with the new processes and I doubt it will ever dribble down to us Modmotor dirt people.

Yes, I believe his tighter LSA would be great compared to the lazy 113-114. And he had specific 5.4L grinds with more overlap!
