So this cam talk (thanks Paul ;) ) has got me thinking about camming my 95 3.8 T-bird :hick: . Yeah I know I'm :screwy: hey why not. So if you scroll down here: http://www.compcams.com/technical/Catalogs/106-07/56-61_230.pdf you'll see cams for the 3.8 V6. Any suggestions on something that would help boost low end torque? Don't say throw in a 5.0 either :crazy: I already have my fun car.
A wrecked SuperCoupe with a good engine...330 Lb/feet is hard to beat ;)
Well if it wasn't a DD then ok lol :hick:
96-97 headers, exhaust, under drive pulley, removed air silencer and K&N panel filter. That should help you out some.
44-702-9 would be my choice. Along with the goodies Shawn mentioned.
arent 3.8 windstar intakes soppose to flow alot more air then stock stang plenums? might try that also
Hood clearance would be an issue with the Windstar intake. A '99 up Mustang single port intake may work if it will line up with the heads. Otherwise you're talking a head swap.
its in his future anyway, why not? lol
But real heads have four exhaust ports...
Applies whether used singularly or in pairs... :burnout:

I'm going to do that but I thought I might add a cam as well;)
Yeah I know. I just want to make the DD a little faster. Maybe later a 351 swap will be in order.............;)
44-701-9 gets my vote. 115 lobe centers. A replacement cam for the super coupe. The intake duration looks reasonable. It should pull hard.
That actually may be a better choice, especially if you factor in budget constraints. It appears as though a spring upgrade is not required with the 44-701-9.
I might try that one. After all it being a DD I really don't want to do a spring swap as well ;)
44-700-9 should be a better cam than the 44-701-9 for a n/a application. It might have a slightly smaller duration, but the 112 degree lobe seperation should wake it up more than a cam designed for supercharged applications.
The overall overlap is almost identical on the intake side between the two and with the higher LSA the other cam will be a coochcat in traffic around town IMHO.
I was thinking that the 44-701-9 would be better for that reason. I already have one lumpy cammed car :hick:
