The problem with cams for ohc or dohc is that they are limited on lift by the way things are set up in the head, roller follower, and valve angles from the start. You could some how get a custom billet blank and have more duration added to wake it up top end, but your total lift is alread set with out hard parts that are just not made.

Look through a Mustang magizine past all those poor fools who don't know how to read you find very little in the way of new cams. Usually if they do offer the for the Viagra crowd is just more duration, and they pop out at .500 lift. Unless your talking something that is much more then you would care to spend.

So heres what you do. Go and call HP tuners or equivalent, and order the programming system. The call STS turbo and order up the Stage 3 universal kit. Call summit to get a remote oil tank and some -6an line to feed the turbo.

Mix togather in a blender shake well. Pray to the God of your choice even if it is just the toilet after a hard night, and enjoy.

I'd add in a loose convertor, some drag radials, and lower gears if you need longer burnouts.

I know when I was riding motorcycles what guys would swap cams. Like the intake would have more duration and/or lift so they would run 2 intake cams or vise versa with the exhaust. Would that be possible if it is a DOHC? Also Web Cams I believe it was, would make cams, they would take the stockers I believe and weld them up, then regrind them to what you ordered. Try them or my idea of the same cams
