Cams can net you 30+ depending on specs.Cost,too much LOL!Cams alone are around 1000 for the 4V modular engines,the you need the upgraded valve springs,which are roughly another 200 bucks or so.
Why lose the s/c?

Seems to me like working backward. Could always go turbo or cam it with the blower. I saw a an article in mm&ff where a guy ran a compound boost setup where the turbo pushes into the supercharger. That might be fun. If I was interested in a n/a 5.4 I would go after a 2000 Cobra R. It's on my list of cars I want to own some day.
