[QUOTE]Originally posted by turbo302: [QB] I could get regrinds but they suck ive heard nothing but horroe stories and their breaking valves and just porting the heads without the cams really doesn't seem worth it. 281NA, There's absolutely no problem with regrind cams, if they are cut properly and you use custom hardened lash caps (like our stage 1 cams). There are too many Mustangs out there that are running regrind cams with no valve train issues at all. When they are not cut the correct way and you grind the lash caps and followers this is where the problems start. This is what the companies were doing that had problems with the regrind cams (I won't mention any names). Our cams come with a 100% reliability guarantee, they will not have valve train issues. As far as heads go, if you put on a set of ported, PI heads with stock '99 and up 510-530 cam shafts you would probably pick up another 75-85 RWHP and you would pick up a full point in compression due to the chamber design of the PI heads. If you throw stage 1 cams on top of that, look out! Even if you went with our PI head conversion, with the 2001 intake you would see a big increase in HP. It sucks for the '96-'98 guys, Ford developed a head/cam package that should not have been used on the Mustangs, they stop flowing at about 4,500 RPM (due to lack luster runner and port design and small cams - 480. lift), after that they fall off the map. My suggestion is to make the motor more efficient and add power adders later (the '96-'98 heads/cams will restrict what the supercharger is trying to do [backpressure]). There's no way to avoid the straw sucking heads and cam package on the '96-'98 Mustang. Good luck with whatever decision you make. :) - Sheldon [/QB][/QUOTE]
