I have a Parnelli Jones ed. Saleen ordered and am considering a few subtle performance mods, one being a cam swap. The PJ uses Saleen-spec camshafts made by Comp Cams. A recent 5.0 Mustang magazine article places the specs in the 230 degree/.440 lift range due to emissions restrictions. What effect might a swap to something along the lines of Comp Cams XE261H-116.5 which is .490/.480 lift and 222/235 duration?

My thoughts are that as much as cams do for the stock 4.6, they should shine even more on a stroker with higher compression. The larger displacement combined with the higher compression is also the reason I would consider the largest of the Comp line.

LT's and o/r X- or H-pipe as well as a larger tb would also be used to take advantage of the extra camming...

How about BBR Stage IIs?

Then it would actually sound like a real, vintage Boss 302. Just throw in some long tubes and tear out the cats.

Bump for more opinions...?

Why would you change anything a special edition PJ mustang? looks like it would hurt the value ,since your car is a special version.Don't get me wrong,I'm having the Comp stage 4 installed at this moment,but my mustang isn't the special edition Parnelli Jones . I would think that it being a special edition is going to worth a lot of money ,even down the road.

I heard it was quite the beast...congrats on the #s!!! I am not worried about the value at this point, since I plan on keeping the car for years to come. I will keep the stock cams just in case, but the mods I plan will be performance based and will be able to be returned to stock if the need ever arises...
I am surprised that with all the knowledge on this board no one has chimed in with anything on this subject.

So William, How SAWEET! was it? I can't wait to hear it. Say I'm going to enjoy the sound of the stage 4's.
