Can I ask ?
Why cams. That's alot of money for minimum gain due to the way the 2v heads breathe.
I mean if that's what u want that's ok but swapping cams will only net u a few hp and tq vs $$ spent.
I mean throwing a turbo kit is way more effective and price range on heads vs turbo kitnis about the same
I d k ur end goal but if u really wanna know call comp cam the will make u a custom grind for ur application

Having a local shop port the heads and at that point labor for swapping cams is free.Just looking for comparisons on cam vs gains over stock.
Not looking a turbo or supercharger (been there).Just deciding to play with what I have and see what I can come up with. Car is a cruiser not a racecar but could use a little more pep.

 

Comp 262

 

I second on the comp cam 262AH

 

That seems to be the consensus.
However I like the MHS stage one cam on paper.
Anyone run it?

MHS GEN 2 4.6L / 5.4L 2V PI Stage 1 N/A Camshafts (modularheadshop.com)

 

Find more HP from an S-Trim for less money.

I used a Hitech stage 2 NA(Comp Cams grind) cams years ago and they worked really nice(no idea if still available or not). Had more lift on intake side than exhaust side Needed tune tweaked to help idle properly, solid power and good idle. Those were good for half second for me. 12.40's stock cams/ported heads. 11.9s with cams. Daily drove car for years and was very happy.

Those MHS Stage 1 linked above look real similar to the HiTechs I use to run. Think MHS stg2 are close to spec.

 

I agree and would save a little more a turbo/blower the car, I did comp xe274 and with parts only I'm in over $1000.... just something to think about.

 

Could care less about a blower. I understand the want to suggest it but have been there and done that. It isn't about bragging rights or hp wars this time around. Just a solid daily driver type with a stock converter and minimal loss of drivability. Spelled it all out in post #1 and #3.
I appreciate the input.

Thanks for the replies.

 

Then call a cam manufacturer and ask what they recommend, they will know their cams better than anyone on here unless they work for said cam company, we all have our opinions on what would be best but we don't have r&d time with each cam like the manufacturer does.
