I have it in my 5.3 with headers, intake, efans, blah blah

Off the line is a little slower than stock but from 4k to 6300 it pulls like crazy. It is really a blower cam, but NA it has a pretty high powerband. I have a 2600 stall and that helps a little, but more stall is needed to really get this cam going. If you are slapping on a blower it will be great, but if you are staying NA there are much better options.

I put 300 to the wheels with 35x13 tires and a 14b rear end and this cam.

Like I said its more of a blower cam. I only have it because I am hoping to add a blower soon. If I was staying NA or even just using nitrous I would look elsewhere because there are more well-suited cams for that.

Did you already buy it?

I already have a 6.0 w/ whipple, headers,exhaust. How much power would this cam add? I am making 395whp on a mustang dyno at 10psi.

trevert would be the one to ask. he runs this cam with a tvs1900 and pushes 600hp on his 5.3 I believe.
