Steve got word from the good guys at VT that the motor's on it's way along with the cams. Once installed, I'm sure he'll get a clip too

I also spoke to Pat and Paul and I too will be looking at some stage 2 heads and stage 2 cams but since the heads will be coming off I will also probably also put in a set of long tube headers..........does anyone know how this will effect emissions?????

I don't think it will affect your emmisions too badly as long you maintain polution control. I'm sure others here will give you an exact answer to your question.

I was actually takling to a mechanic yestaurday about the stage II's ,and emissions.He says it can be done.With a good tune it should be alright,but you are thinking of running long tubes,and installing ported heads,so the only way you will really know is when the time comes .

what would be the best cam for me, i drive it daily, ill take it to the track a few times, but i want a more agressive morelumpy idle and sound but still gaining power instead of over doing it and losing power.

I would say VT Stage II, not just because I bought them, but because I've heard nothing but great things about these cams. Still very streetable.

Since we're on the topic, can anyone tell me what makes cams more "streetable"? I suppose ground for a lumpy but useable idle and low-end torque rather than just top-end power? Not too sure here..

Scott@VTEngines

A streetable cam should have less .050" duration. Ours are mild at 225/235, but we tighten up the C/L to 108, rather than keeping it the stock 114. A tighter c/l helps overlap which pulls in more air to the cylinder. Not good for a blower car, but great for n/a. A larger duration, such as the Comps, also works well, but the higher the duration, the more the power comes on up top, thus taking for the lowend of the car. This makes the car a dog stoplight to stoplight, which is what you don't want in a heavy car like a mustang.

I have read on the Mod Depot site that Stage II cams are not necessary unless the heads are ported. By the way this is my first post here.
