the only way to get the "ricer with a fart can" sound is to have a ricer with a fart can. hell, the 4.0 V6 in my explorer with a fart can would still have an american muscle rumble to it...

Those new 3.7L V6 mustangs sound badass. I normally hate the v6 sound but they actually sound good.

well, for the cam, go to crower, not comp. crower not only tells you the specs for each cam, but where the power band is for it, and what kinda use it would be suited for. i know a few guys that have built a LOT of ford motors in their days, and they all agree that crower has a better grind, and performance for the buck.
