Some good info in there, people always go for the biggest cam they can, which sometimes can cost power and almost always costs driveability, the "right" cam gives you the best of both worlds.

I just had the "right" cams installed on my Bullitt and picked up 79 hp and 68tq. bringing a stock bottom end 2V to 503rwhp with an a/f of 11.8 across the board.

Nice find!
When i was deciding on cams for mine,i did a lot of search,and reading on Modular Depot,a site deticated strictly to modular fords.
Plus i talked to Scott@VTEngines of VT engines that specialize in modular fords aswell.I was originally gonna go with comp cams,but VT's seemed to be what i was looking for in the end.Proven dyno graphs,and #'s were available over at Modular Depot.

YA good find! THis is my first post WHOOO! I got a 2002 mustang gt with 35000km on it. Anyways im thinking of either buying comp cams 268 since its inbetween a stage 1 and stage two of vt. It was a good rpm range of 1600-5600 and lift is .5 so i wouldnt have to worry about clearance, and with that i would get my heads ported to a stage two to fit the 268 cams better. BUt ive been recently looking at used prochargers for around 3500 anyways if anyone has a deal on aprocharger let me know but what do you think should i do? Labour would be cheap my uncle has his own shop. I also just put on magnoflow exhaust, throttle body, cai and a short throw last month in my garage so if that helps. i was also thinking of putting on some 3 73 gears to avoid that low end torque loss. this wont happen till end of april when i save up some more money.

Cant go wrong with 373's ive got 4.10's but that just because the auto i couldnt tell ya anything about how they perform i cant get enough time off work to get them installed. does anybody know the cam spec for VT stage 2?

THe specs for the VT stage II N/A cams i found on vtengines.com "Stage 2 cams are the perfect choice for ported heads and all out N/A street/strip performance. MUST BE USED WITH AFTERMARKET VALVESPRINGS. Aggressive idle. 3000-6500 prm. Gains of 30-35rwhp are common. Like 3.73 gear or better and 2800+ stall in auto's. MUST BE TUNED AFTER INSTALL. .560/.575 lift, 225/235 .050" duration, 108 LSA"
