The Cammer is oversquare will have a lighter rotating mass and better flowing heads so the dyno will tell the story. I will rev the engine to the point when the cams stop making power hopefully past my wish list shift point 7500rpm.

The Cammer uses the exact same heads as the Ford GT, they don't flow as much as the Coyote stock but that engine is in another power level to the Cammer, it has about 350hp wheel, Coyote is right around 400hp...with variable valve timing, Cammer has it also but it wont work with the stock computer...

What intake are you going to use, the T-50 Cammer which I'm sure you have uses a magnesium intake, the R-50 Cammer is the intake you would want to use but it won't fit under stock hood and goes for around 6 grand, the Cammer was offered in the Ford catalog for $15,000 which is probably why they only sold 5, yes a total of 5 motors, the car you have pictured the Ford Daytona uses the R-50 Cammer which sold for $30,000 without computer, that's right 400hp for 30g,

Hi Fordracing65
The induction I am using is carried over from my 5.4L modular.


Not realy fussed on how many crate Cammer motors Ford sold.
Regarding 400hp for 30g in the Ford Daytona they have to run under FIA rules which restrict power outputs and have to be tuff enough to last a 24hr race not bad for 30g in my book.
My engine is not restricted by rules so we can port heads, fit larger valves, etc. Been down the path of buliding a production engine for racing before that's why I have gone down the path of race proven products this time.
