best gear and cam combo

[Daniel Day]

Plus they complain bout how they suck in traffic.

Really? I have absolutely no complaints on the drivability, traffic or otherwise. Sounds like they don't have a steep enough gear and/or a bad tune.

I dont like either cam choice personally. I run comp 127300 and 4.10's

I know guys claim power from hot rod cams but they dont perform at the tracks from guys I now personally here. Plus they complain bout how they suck in traffic.

I don't think we are "claiming" power gains, these are actual gains with before and after dyno sheets. I really hate it when some people come on here and say "well I know so-and-so and they say these cams suck". Real power gains lead to better track times. If your guys aren't seeing that, maybe it is with them and not the cams.

As far as streetability, get a good tune and these drive just fine. I went through three tunes through two different tuners until I got one that I liked. Chris Rose worked with me and I really like the way my car drives now.

Listen to the people that actually have the product you are interested in and also have facts to back it up instead of the guy that is regurgitating bogus info that he has read/heard somewhere else.

I think you will be happy with either cam.

Just my .02 with facts to back up.

I agree, 410 gears and HR. Made 342 rwhp and it drives and runs perfect!

My car is a daily driver, (2010 GT with 18K miles on it) and I have 4.56 gears, 75 mph is 2,900 rpm in 5th gear, if you want a nice lopey idle the Hot Rods sound killer, even better then my 127500 comps,

What all is done to your car on the 12.5@110 pass?

My 07 has 4.10s and Detroit Rocker cams. This combo works great for me.

In my experiences, you don't gain et from gears unless your car really needs it. Example, 3.23's to 4.10's. But from 4.10's to 4.30's you're probably not going to see a et difference. IMHO I would go with 4.10's just for the mileage if you plan on streeting it at all.

Also, if you're going to have the cams out for a swap, change your springs too, just for insurance. They got me on that NSR bs too.

What are your other mods and what dyno did you use?

BBR Stage 1 NSR Cams + 4.10 Gears = 35 rwhp gain and a car that'll pull harder than ever!

What about with 4.56s?

I may take a vacation this summer and have you guys install the cams and dyno tune for me, while I visit some family in Orlando.

Do you have anything that can back that up? stock my car got 20 to 21 mpg, (track pack car w/3.73's) now with all my mods, including the 4.56's, I still get 18.5 to 19mpg, this is an average of both in town and highway, and our speed limit here is 75mph on the highway, my round trip to work is 38 miles, 22 of that is highway, just saying

It was tuned by Dyno Tune Performance in Virginia. I believe its a Dyno Dynamics. I have 410 gears, Dyno Tech aluminum drive shaft,H.R. cams, Steeda delete plates,FRPP CAI,pulleys,BBK short tubes,with BBK x pipe with high flow cats, BBR solid motor mounts, Lower control arm brackets,FRPP handling pack, with a Steeda adj. pan hard bar. 295/48/18 out back with 255/45/18 up front.

What do I need to back it up, more gear equals more rpm at the same speed, in turn equals less gas mileage. Especially if he is going from stock 3.31's to 4.56's. He'll lose 5 mpg easy.

yea going from 3.55's to 4.10's, i lost probably lost 2mpg or so. i couldnt imagine 4.56's. my car averages about 18 now.

 

[*JZ*]

I only lost 2 mpg highway when I went to the 4.56 gears. But I picked up 3 mpg in city.

 

[3vs197]

with gears/cams/bolt ons my car at 70mph will only get 23-24mpg. stock i could get 27-28. the mustang is a thirsty girl.
