$1500 for 4v cams...damn, that's cheap
seriously, you don't want to know how much I paid for my custom cams for my Mach 1 then and I got them at cost too since I own a race shop...LOL...but then again, I run 10's, borderline 9"s too.
I usually get cams for my customers for about $2000 but that includes cams, springs, and retainers too(parts only)...$2500 if we add guides and tensioners while we are in the motor(parts only).
If you have the money for cams and you do your research and buy the right profile to match your set up, cams can and are very much worth the money. 4v motors are not cheap to modify at all....but the benefits of modifying a 4v motor greatly outweigh their 2v and 3v modular motor relatives.

I was looking at cams as well but 1500 is absurd. I found heads and cams from a boss mustang but couldnt find info on the specs of them and dont know how much they will benefit. Livernois ports heads but you would still have to find cams.
Also, who is doing your gears? I couldnt find anyone who has them for the '11 differential because Ford changed the gears cause the ecoboost was breaking the shaft.

Boss, I would be interested to see the difference at the track from the cam swap before the 'verter, just to see the low speed torque difference. Then see what happens after with the full deal. With your mph, the 'verter is going to really help your et, bet you will see mid 12's with the full package.

I'm really intriguied by the comment about trucks with stock intake and manifolds being faster than the Boss intake and headers.
I was planning to do Caltracs, Roush Exhaust, and then the 5 star kit that comes with Boss intake, CAI and tuner. This has got me considering not doing the Boss manifold.

I would definetly recommend buying the combo because you can always add a converter or gears to make up for the loss down low.
I have the 5star combo and love it. You can definelty tell a difference.

Maybe one day the wife will allow it.
With the Boss cams how would the lope be? Just like the BOSS mustang or is there more to it than just the cam and heads that give the agressive lope?
