I would suggest you call Comp Cams on their toll free number and talk to the fine techs there. I had read about a couple of their cams with a setup almost exactly like mine in one of the Mustang mags and wanted to try the bigger of the 2 cams. Only problem was the test was done with a motor that had 1.6 RR's an mine are 1.7 and I wasn't going to be able to use it with out a lot more work to notch the pistons... A buddy of mine found that they had one with almost the exact same specs but a little less lift, so I called their tech line a spoke to to them about my combo and my goals and asked if this cam would work and they said it would work fine but recommend a little more lobe sepration for my setup (which is exactly what Kenne Bell says also) and when I asked if that was going to be considered a "custom grind" they said yeah but we won't charge you and extra for it. So I ordered it on the spot and so far a really like it but have yet to get it on the dyno to see what kind of numbers I am getting out of it. Hey, it won't cost you anything but a little time to at least talk to them.

BTW how is it going with the insurance and body shop and all that crap? Good luck!

PS just for the record I know 2 guys with differant setups that called Anderson's and ordered the cam that they suggested for their individual setups and both cams were junk and they couldn't get any help/support from Rick and his boys and Anderson. Rick insisted they weren't installing them correctly but both cases were with guys that kknow what they are doing and in fact one of them is the head SVT mechanic here at the local Ford dealership. One went with a Trick Flow and the other an F cam and both are now happy. My guess is that a few bad grinds slipped out and that in itself wouldn't bother me too much but the fact that Anderson's wouldn't do ANYTHING to back up their product ir even invistigate it REALLY bothers me. I have bought from themm in the past but not so sure I want to any more if that is how they are going to take care of their customers...
