cams for a v6?

Torry Jobe · March 13th, 2007, 09:48 PM

are there cams for v6 mustangs? if so do they make a good preformance upgrade? would i need to upgrade anything else to accept the cam? will it give me engine trouble in the future, and the most important question...how big a dent will it put in my wallet?

you can get just a cam for 265 bucks, but if you want one more aggressive you will need to change your Roller rockers and springs
email the guys at www.supersixmotorsports.com and they can help you get exactly what you want.

Thanks for the help!

but do you think its a good idea for a stock 3.8 engine? and if i put one in, do you have any idea how much would instulation be or how long it would take?

GreenFaleen · March 13th, 2007, 10:23 PM

I would get exhaust and a CAI to help complement the sound but yeah it will be fine on a stock engine. Might wanna get a tuner from SCT as well just to get the most gains out of everything. I would talk to shop in your area about install.

Torry Jobe · March 13th, 2007, 10:30 PM

Thanks again, i'll talk to the guys a my local shop tommorow when i pick up my car...i just had 3.73s installed, I hope ill notice a differance in speed ! I want to show those stupid ricers what American muscle can and will do!

GreenFaleen · March 13th, 2007, 10:31 PM

lol nice you get t-lok too or just the gears?

Torry Jobe · March 13th, 2007, 10:41 PM

just gears because the mechanic said i would need to get used to the gears first. he said later on he will install posi-track for little labor cost since they could have done it when they put the gears in. he says he just wants me to be safe because if we did this all at once i wouldnt be used to the handling and would probably wreck. any ways i got to go, ill check back later...peace out brother

Your mechanic owned you for extra labor

...

You should always do tlok and gears together....

GreenFaleen · March 13th, 2007, 10:47 PM

nah man It would be better to get used to it all at once lol but as long as he doesn't over charge you.

Mustang RacR94 · March 13th, 2007, 11:08 PM

yea def get a cam, yea supersixmotorsports.com

232stang · March 13th, 2007, 11:34 PM

gay mechanic -_- if anything i would put t-lok in first then gears. gears with one wheel = shitty traction
the funny thing is, it would be more safe WITH the t-lok. he ripped your wallet a new asshole.

Not only that. But once you break in your gears, they develope a specific wear pattern. When you pull out the open diff and replace it with the tlok, if it isn't shimmed damn perfect, you'll be stuck with whining gears.

Torry Jobe · March 14th, 2007, 12:15 AM

im back, i read the replies and you guys may be right, fortunatly i havent paid them so ive got him by the balls! when i see him tommorow ill bring this up. you see he needs bussiness because hes new in town and if i tell the SOB that ill go somewere else and spread the word that hes a crook, he'll negociate a lower price...or so thats the plan. any good ideas?!

GreenFaleen · March 14th, 2007, 12:18 AM

yeah tell him to put in the t-lok for free or you'll call him out as a cheat and a scammer.

Torry Jobe · March 14th, 2007, 01:00 AM

i agree, i forgot to mention he is charging me $850 for the gears and bearing kit plus instulation...is he ripping me off because the fact im a 19 year old kid who has money, maybe when i come in he sees a dollar sign over my head!

Stang6899 · March 14th, 2007, 01:31 AM

Is he giving you a trutrac or a tlok? But yes you are getting ripped
