New a/m Cam for v6 mustang?

[zrob1224]

i have a 2000 v6 mustang 5-speed. stock except for a cai, and an h-pipe conversion into true dual cat-back.

looking to cam it this summer. any suggestions?

any reason for the cam?


Your best bet would be to upgrade the rear/gears and a shifter before a camshaft, unless you want the sound.

Please don't get a cam for the sound... Like what was said, some gears or a short throw shifter.

ok cool, thanks. any suggestions for new gears / short throw? or any other upgrades that are more worth while?

 

[NYstang]

a short throw will be a great upgrade over the stock rubbary shifter. Id sugest a pro-5.0, tri-ax, or MGW.

gear-wise, a 3.73/trac-lok combo will really wake up the car. in addition to the gears, you will need a tuner to correct the speedometer. together, the tune and gears will make your car feel like it gained a lot more power.

as for the gears, what ratio would you suggest? what about a posi - whats the best there?

Trac-lok is the ford name to chevy's posi...
