Reply to "Stock Camshafts"

Ford always had the policy for street cars that idle quality and drive-ability were paramount and it was an edict that could not be circumnavigated internally for a STREET PRODUCTION VEHICLE.

All of these camshafts fall into that category.

None of them, including the Boss 351 cam, are capable of producing the magic 500hp number in the Cleveland.

The Boss 351 comes the closest with around 400hp at the flywheel.

They all have a nice idle to them and the CJ even though it is a mild grind, has a nice rump, rump idle in the Pantera.

One thing about it though, in the Mustang, the CJ idles at about 775 rpm. In the Pantera, it's 1,000rpm. Same engine though.

I always wondered why?
