I recommend this cam to anybody looking to do a swap Thunder Racing RAPTOR ground by comp cams on XFI lobes 236/242 617/613 111+2 109 IC. Through a auto with TCI 3500 stall, 2.73s, LS-6 intake , Stock 241 heads laid down 367 hp and 377 ft lbs on a mustang dyno. Dyno numbers arent everything because pullied cobras and saleens are a daily snack for my car. Cam pulls ungodly hard all the way to 6500 rpms even on 2.73s. When i did the swap i went with Raptor Cam, Pariot 650 lift spring kit, Comp 7.425 chromoly pushrods, ls-2 lifter trays because of mileage 125,000, LS-7 lifters, JP single Roller Timing Chain, Stock Oil pump, All cam swap gaskets including new intake and Head Gaskets and Head Bolts.

Texas Speed MS3 kit. With their dual springs(look to Manley Nexteks), titanium retainers, hardened pushrods, melling oil pump, and an LS2 chain.

Daily driven, not even tuned yet, and drives excellent. All I've done tune wise was up the desired RPM, airflow tables, and spark at idle to get it to idle nicely.
