Got the FRPP HR cams in

[ufnavy06]

As soon as I get my scanner up again, I'll post the dyno sheet. But she made 335 rwhp @ 5100 and 345 lbft @ 4100, up from 310 rwhp and 329 lbft on the last dyno @ Mustangweek of '08.

My tuner actually found 10 rwhp and 10 lbft from my previous tune as the baseline before the install was 320 rwhp and 339 lbft.

Car feels amazing as I could already feel the power increase. Just need some new tires to complement it all! Plus it's that time for some new ones.

Awesome, welcome to the club! I could definitely tell a difference in the upper RPMs. My next mod will definitely be LT's and then I am gonna throw it on the dyno.

Out of curiosity how's the fuel economy with the cams? When you get a chance to settle down from the high rev happiness can you post up some numbers on that?

A video clip is a must....... we all want to hear that beast!

And congrats on the install......nothing like new power to put a smile on your face.

Walter, I drive about 50 miles round trip to work everyday on backroads and I usually average around 17.5-18mpg. I rarely rev above 3k rpms and my average speed is proabaly around 45-50mph. Last week I had a best of 20.5 mpg but that was because I did a little bit of interstate driving also. However, if I get it on it a lot I have seen as little as 15 mpg, but the lope and top end power is well worth a couple mpg's!

Interesting. Well that just may mean I have to work on the aero package a little to compensate and drop some rotational mass then.

Ok, I got the video clip up Monday. Sadly, I was rear-ended on Friday (4 car chain reaction and I was at the front, stopped and so were the people behind me) and fortunately the damage was minimal.... not sure how $500 is minimal but you won't see anything in the video clip. Bumper cover needs to be fixed and repainted and stripes re-applied.

Anyways, as far as the fuel economy goes, I already noticed a drop and it wasn't because I was higher in the rpms. I was averaging 20 mpg give or take before them. Now, it's a solid 18 mpg. Granted I've only gone through one tank of gas so far so I don't know how a few tanks might change that. Additionally, I don't drive it everyday anymore, so my driving habits when I do drive it reflect that. So take it for what it's worth.

Sounds really good. Sorry about the accident...........sucks being in the wrong place like that. Good thing you were not hurt.

Dude, that sounds amazing! I love how LT's make it sound so "hollow" when it lopes. I need LT's BAD!!! What do you have your idle set at? I have mine set to 750.

For the first MANY seconds...it sounded like my car. Which is to say, not that loud or lumpy.

After about halfway through it started to get lumpy, but barely.

I'm disappointed, honestly. The clip of the Brenspeed cams sound soooooo good. Here's that clip (in case it hasn't been posted.)

I'm gonna prolly get those...when I can...who knows.

I wonder how those detroit rockers will work with a centrifugal supercharger.

Also UFN I love the way your idle is right now. It's lopey but not excessively that it sounds ratty.

 

[ufnavy06]

Thanks Walter! I like it just like it is too. And like I said, my Camaro buddy loves it and wishes his sounds like it too. Additionally, the GTOs and older Camaros and Mustangs love it too! Can't do much better than that!

the car sounds amazing ufnavy06, congrats on getting cammed.
