Looking to go "Max Effort" cam only.

Looking to go "Max Effort" cam only.
My car is currently pretty much a cam only setup, and i like the sound of that. The cam is a F11 on a 114lsa. the car is full bolt ons, with a y pipe and a cutout. It does have a good clutch and a Strange 12 bolt with 4.10's. The car has put down 395whp and 389tq on a mustang dyno, so the car is strong. But my buddy has a MS4 cam only with about the same bolt ons, and I just love how his car pulled on me! and he only had a mail order tune! The car is full weight, ac works and everything.
anyways, he is thinking of selling the cam for a stupid cheap price, how well do you think this cam will help me? or is there other cams that will make the power as well?
my supporting mods include:
ls6 ported oil pump
rollermaster double roller heat treated chain
comp oe lifters
futral pushrods
crane dual spring kit
arp head studs
racetronics fuel pump
thanks for the help

That cam will be a nice compliment to your combo. The only thing you need to add are some better valve springs. I don't think the Cranes will work well with a .650" lift cam. Patriot Extreme duals or AFR 8019s will work very well with that cam.

You will need shorter pushrods than stock if you're running stock lifters and rockers. A 7.450" pushrod is what you'll need with that cam if running the factory lifters and rockers.

Do you have any track times with that F11 inyour car now? I was curious because I am thinking about running that same cam in my 99 FRC Vette with stock LS6 heads and bolt-ons. You made pretty impressive #s for a Mustang dyno as cam only. Just wondered how it runs at the track?

Be careful with the MS4.... just had a buddy who had one installed, got it tuned and it ran great for about 1500 miles, then he bent 3 exhaust valves while driving normally on the freeway. Make sure you check ptv!! Good luck!

charlie quit being a puss and put the bottle on it
and lose some weight, mine is running quite a bit better now...enough to give you a run on motor
just dont forget all the fun new tunning you will need to do with a different cam. It runs good now and you should not mess with that aspect of it.

If your "cam only" then you are a stock bottom end????
Were you talking about a built "stock cube" motor?? I wasn't sure if I missed something here.
