Take the next step in power mods without going with a forced-induction setup with these Comp Cams Stage III Xtreme Energy Camshafts! These camshafts will give your Pony great mid-range power gains in horsepower and torque and are best suited for Mustangs with Performance Improvement Heads. www.americanmuscle.com/mustang...
Advanced Performance Modification. The Comp Cams 3 Xtreme Energy camshafts are for 1994-2004 Ford Mustang GTs. These camshafts are designed to replace the factory camshafts for noticeable mid-range horsepower and torque gains, as well as a nice lope at idle, which will give your Mustang that overall sound and feel of a modern day muscle car. It’s important to note that Comp Cam also suggests pairing these camshafts with adjustable cam gears, Comp Cam valve springs and retainers to support the bigger and heaver cams. In addition, these cams are designed for modified Mustangs that are currently running a cold air intake and aftermarket cat back exhaust, for the optimal level of performance gains, which is estimated to be an increase of 40hp and 30-40ft.-lbs. of torque. With all that said, these stage 3 camshafts are on the brink of street use, going into a stage 4 camshaft would definitely take things into a purely track use vehicle.
Durable Construction. The Comp Cams stage 3 camshafts are made of steel and designed for SOHC Mustangs with 3.55+ gears. They have an RPM range of 1800 to 5800 and have a lobe separation of 113-degrees for a great lope idle sound.
Professional Level Installation. The installation of these camshafts will require the experience of a professional mechanic as it involves the removal of the intake manifold, valve covers, crankshaft and spark plugs, it’s basically an engine tear down and will probably require a full days worth of labor charges, if you elect to take it to a professional.

repeats himself over and over and over rambleing making me want to scream
I thought I accidentally hit rewind.
Josiah Thibodeaux this video gave me a stroke.
You should say “midrange” and “lope” a few more times
Okay if I buy the springs and retainers and cams and already have an intake would I be okay?
Dose the cams have hand engravings on it or did that come from machine shop
Looking foward to install a this stage 3 on my 2001 Expedition 5.4 What else would i need for this cam kit ?
Installed these on my 2000 Saleen and the lope is fine but I wouldn’t go as far as being the limit for street drivability. Prob could have gone with a higher stage. Know there for forced induction applications there are cams designed specifically for that. I found this out a bit too late but my Saleen runs just fine with these.
He gives the wrong specs for the cam at 4:30. He states that the duration at 0.050" lift is 270 & 274. That is the ADVERTISED duration. The duration at 0:050" is actually 234 int./238 exh. according to summit racing. According to some stuff I found on the internet, the stock pi cams have a duration at 0.050" of 184 int/.196 exh. But I don't know it that's accurate.
Do these cams work well with power brakes and air conditioning? I don't want to have to turn the a/c off at every red light.
Really repetitive. makes you look like you don't know what your taking about!
do you recommend going with 21 or 24lb injectors or will the stock 19 suffice?
Why did this video drag on so long without any demonstrations?
so not worth it.....so besides the cam, you need gears, full exhaust, throttle body, intake manifold, cold air, etc etc....all fo 40 whp?
He specifically states its more usable by modified 4.6’s. A bonestock 4.6 with this cam would not be a good idea..
@@ronyeahright9536 well i have all of those mods making 270whp and 320torque tuned no cam so there you go
steven.......list your mods please
@@ronyeahright9536 cai, bbk 78mm tb, bbk long tubes, xpipe, pulleys no a/c, 93 race tune. 2000 gt 5spd
No install video?
Talk about the cams for 8 minutes .. GO!
Do these camshafts work with supercharged applications?
If you want to get technical any cam is going to work but that doesn't mean it's the right choice because you won't get the most out of it. Lots of valve overlap is okay on an NA application but if you are running boost you don't want to have as much as it's going to kill your manifold pressure. That's not to say it won't work but it's not ideal. Your best bet would be to get a cam that is built for boosted applications. You'll still have that lope if that is something you are looking for but it won't be as pronounced as compared to an NA cam that can get away with more overlap and duration.
Ok..... with the stage 2 comp cams you do not need a stall converter.
With stage 3 cams they say a stall converter it’s required.
I got an 04 boosted automatic.
So what happens if I install these cams and do not install a stall converter ?????
Just curious.
idk if you did already but i definitely recommend installing the it. it’ll be really jumpy when you come to a stop. like you’ll be able to notice the car jumping back and forth lmao so yeah get a torque converter first or just do it as you’re getting the cams
So should we expect bigger gains and a heavier lope?
apaulo troughzmantz, yes to both, duh..lol Computer tune n most other mods required too..
Lmao idk, he didn't mention😂
Comp Cams ...lol ... their machining was off which they acknowledged over the phone then twenty minutes later called back and said their engineer was wrong. The machining was fine. Btw ... their original version of adjustable gears caused problems with the cam sensor picking up a signal from the lock down screws. Caused a P0340.
omg...somebody get Stephanie or Justin here for the video
Can I use the cam with 4.10 rear end?
they recommend at least a 3.73 since it gets power higher than stocks cams so yeah 4.10's is perfect if you don't care about milage lol
really leaning on getting these does anyone have any other recommendations. 02 GT with basic boltons and CAI
go with 373 or 410 gear first..doesnt add hp but you will feel the difference.. i use 410 gear with these cams stock exhaust (for now) underdrives , cai, 75mm tb and plenum, sct itsx tuner with race tune
This could be condensed to 2 mins easy.
Would I need a 3000 Torque Converter for these?
Full out Metal, since AmericanMuscle.com is too kool to answer you, I will.. The answer is NO, but if you want to go that high go ahead.. From 2,000 stall n higher, minimum 3.55+ gear ratio, Intake, exhaust, computer and spring 26113 recommended. Noticeable idle..
yes. I installed a 3500 stall in mine. sic as fuck. from take off through shifting just fukn sic
i have a fully stock 4.6 with stage 3 comp cams, no uprgraded valve springs, nor a tune and its been it's been running for 2-3 years and i still keep up with 2018 vettes 👀
I ordered some like 8 months ago. Been waiting to have them put in. Been kind of poor lol. But it's about time. So no other mods? I've got full exhaust.. headers, off road X pipe, SLP loudmouths.. sounds great now but I'm ready to put those cams in lol. Did you get a good horsepower increase?
Yeah I doubt it. If you have a 99-04 Gt with just cams and nothing else for mods you’re probably not even over 300rwhp and you’re saying you’re keeping up with 2018 corvettes that put down well over 400+rwhp not to mention it’s lighter AND more aerodynamic than 99-04 Mustang GTs so sorry but not happening bud.
Hell my buddy had a pullied 03 Cobra with FBO and was neck and neck with a C6 vette base model
hahahah these cars a slow but fun no way he beat newer corvetes 😂😂
I have these cams and my car fills slower I have full bolt on also not sure if I would recommend theses cams
Gunner I have these cams with a 78mm throttle body and I blow the doors off 99 and 01 cobras with full bolt ons I have cams throttle body and 3.73
You probably built some trash because I got these cams and my shit is running!
The stock converter is bigger than that.
So 2k for 30-40 rwhp? Or you can spend that much and get a supercharger piece by piece for $1500 giving you at least 100 hp. Not worth 2k for 40hp
There are a lot more thing that you have to upgrade when boosting a car, depending on how much power it add you may need better rods, transmission upgrade, etc. You could cut out most of the labor cost if you're handy but you would still need to get it dyno tuned. Also if you live in a small city like I do it's hard even finding a shop with a dyno.
@@blowndome true. But if you're just running 8 pounds of boost you should be ok on a bone stock mustang. Now the transmission I'm not sure what the limit is before it breaks but it shouldn't be under 350 whp
You gave the wrong cam specs. There's no way that is 270 duration at .050, 270 is the advertised duration. You need to research and understand cam lingo a lot more if you want to be half as good of a reviewer as Stephanie and justin. Just my two cents
PapaSmurfGoat it's 234/238 in reality.
Roasted
Ewww. Burn
Can these cams go in a 96 cobra
No. The 4.6 in the 96 cobra is a dual overhead cam engine not single overhead.
which one is best for my 96 gt stage 3 or 5?
depends what you have already done to your car
Stage 2 if your running boost
@@darrenkidd271 everything that they said to do ahead of time so I'm getting stage 3 loping idle
can you run these on stock heads?
Joshua Dayton Yup...be careful with these cams...they are very tight on the intake side as far as ptv clearance. Spend the time and degree them also. Stock cam gears have been known to be off + or - 6 degrees. If you plan on running higher than 6400 Rpms get the springs too.
so if you dont plan on running past 6400 stock springs are ok?
You should be fine. As long as you get the Beehive springs from comp, don't worry to much. This is NOT a hot cam.
ADENS SKY what do you mean by hot cam?
I wouldn't. Max I would go on stock head is the 262ah
Unless you've built the motor for the cam, its way too much cam for a streetable 4.6L 2V.
Does the cams need to be degreed?
Of course
Would I need to replace my timing chain and lifters?
It entirely depends on how hard the engine was run, how old the parts are in it, and what condition they are in. It's better to be safe than sorry if they've been in there for a while. Changing that stuff out isn't too difficult. I would do everything all at once and give yourself a healthy amount of time to do it if you are going to do it yourself. I can't stress how important it is not to rush. If there's any doubt on your behalf do yourself a favor and let a shop do it.
Its the springs, lifters, tensioners you have to worry about. Chain stretch is not bad on these engines. I've measured new against a 200k miles engine with no differenc. And that's many chains I've measured.
I love my 270 cams
No more than 30. 262ah are better for a daily driver. I've had both. There are much better cams out there. I'm a poag marine lol
@@truthsetfree6728 explain why 262ah are better
Legal in California?
Not now, Cali is gay
Dude, screw those commies in that government. Do what you want to do.
so far on my mustang gt I have under drive pulleys cold air intake and mid pipe with slp lm1
Rpm
Can someone please help. I have a 2000 mustang gt with full exhaust and headers. The other day i was doing an oil change and i broke the rear o2 sensor with the lift. I replaced the o2 sensor but i can not get the check engine light to stay off now. Any help from fellow mustang lovers would be appreciated.
Take the battery loose or go to auto store and clear it with their computer for free
Trey Davis auto parts stores can't legally clear codes. If you are good friends with one of their employees then you can bypass the law however
What type of mods are they asking that you should have before putting these cams in again?
Mikes trains O gauge
Intake, full exhaust, manifold. To support it and for them to work right.
Not sure if it's true I never used cams on my mustang and are looking into these but I have basic bolt ons like the said but wondering the hp gains are from stock or tuned. Bc mine ain't tuned bc I want to finish my
Bolt ons first.
needs 3.55+ gears. 2000+ stall. Intake, exhaust, computer and spring 26113 recommended. Noticeable idle.
What a hoppy guy.
all that for, that
Mackenzie Simpson Only OHV motors get a lot of power from cams
these only for stick shift?
alex montoya You don't understand engines do you?...
Lukas Vaughn what I do Understand that your comment isn't an answer to my question
alex montoya 😅 I'm dead.
You need a stall converter @2000 rpm so it won't stall at the red light for automatics... but if you have a manual you won't have any stall problems
alex montoya 3:02.
These cams will NOT fit 96-98 GTs without notching pistons.
wrong af
7:02 $1,000 on a $2,000 old mustang!
I paid $500 for my running 96 gt. 😉
Paid 5k for my 2000 gt convertible
3300 04gt 80k miles
Choose the 262ah and make better usable power for $589 on that old $2k mustang
Player 1 how did you find it that cheap ?
Junk!
Based on what?
And you will have PVC issues!!!!!!!! So make sure you notch the pistons........
I have these and no pvc issues you just built some trash
@@jasonb.3874 ok
Talk is cheap show show me
American muscle has bad customer service.
I had to place my order 4 times, and they all got canceled from A/M they grabbed my money though and I'm still waiting on one refund, I got hung up on by a rep and their manager stopped replying to my emails.... Lucky you.. Going to LMR now.
Umm no there's nothing more to it, they said I can send a money order, like anyone has time for that, I can show you where my orders got canceled and where the manager stopped replying there's really nothing to hide at my end...
Hey Jose, I'm sorry to hear that there is been some trouble here! Definitely not what we like to see and we don't want to treat you bad in any way. Could you shoot me over an email so I can look into this for you? William.levantovsky@americanmuscle.com. - Will
I agree I bought a set of SR coilovers one of the studs broke and was informed that is was from abuse I drove by some train tracks not even fast like 20 or 30 the rep was nice but on those coilovers on the comments some else said their stud broke and they got another coilover I had to replace the complete set up and even buy another set of caster camber plates in other words I'm going to LMR next time
AmericanMuscle.com I emailed you 4 days ago Mr levantovsky.
Do these still work with non PI heads?
Considering it's for 96-98 than yeah
