im just wondering if you guys think it would be worth it for me to do ported upper/ lower intakes and some big valve cylinder heads? i dont want to do a cam just yet. what kind of power could i see with just the heads and intakes?

I was just going to suggest getting a different level cam that wouldn't make the car all lopey. You would have to discuss it with a cam shop and let them know what you are doing...and they will be able to do a nice custom grind for not overly too much.

But yeah, not all cams make cars sound cammed....I'm not sure what a heavily cammed V6 sounds like though...so I can't say for sure. But a mild cam won't change the sound much in any motor and still let you benefit from the valves.

alright. and.....would you......maybe be able to..........help me install that cam as well? sorry to burden you with all this but i have been wanting to do a h/c/i swap ever since i got the car!!! that would be awesome if you could. and i have no problem giving you money to help me. like i said i dont have much experience, but im willing to do everything i can.

hey just wondering what you guys think about this cam to go with the bv heads:

RPM-Mustangs 210/214 .548 cam. also only on the car for about 2 months
i have brand new valve springs with this (1 of the originals snapped and so i upgraded to better springs)
and i also have the pushrods to work with these
$250+shipping OBO
*ON THE CAM, IT IS A REGRIND SO YOU WILL NEED TO PUT THE SPACER ON (FROM YOUR STOCK CAM)*
everything is off the car, but still at the shop where im doing the work. ill have pictures asap. with this setup+full bolt ons i made 227rwhp/227rwtq

my goal for this car right now is to get about 230-240rwhp. i have most of the bolt-ons. how much more would it benefit me to go with the big valve heads over just ported heads? because i can get ported heads, intakes, throttle body, and a gasket kit for $600+shipping. here is the link:

Ported/Polished Complete Split Port Set w/ Gaskets ($600 + Shipping)

now pair that with the right cam and some roller rockers, would it be possible for me to see 230-240rwhp?

I'm not up on where different mods get you in a V6...however many here are...so I'll let them handle it. I don't know if the stock bore 3.8 can get to 230 rwhp without a power adder. It probably can, and it probably takes that setup and a cam to do it.

What would get him there? I would love to help him out here but I'm clueless when it comes to the 6's and their mods.

Can it be done without a power adder?
