www.supersixmotorsports.com sells cams, forged internals, heads, and other stuff for v6 mustangs

Comp Cams also has a nice list of cams for the v6 Fords.

Your car is a pushrod motor so it only has one cam not two like a sohc or four like a dohc motor.

hey Spike,

first of all i like to thank you for the info, however I don't quite understand what you said, I always thought this car was a SOHC (single over head cam? ) v6 03 Mustang.. isnt there 2 Cams underneath both valve covers on each side witch is SOHC? or theres just one Cam for the whole engine?

Thank you

Nope first off a SOHC engine has 2 cams, 1 under each valve cover

Second the 3.8 liter v6 only has 1 cam, and its inside the block, not under the valve covers

This is correct because the 3.8 liter mustang is a pushrod engine, not SOHC. The SOHC engines weren't introduced until 2005 for the v6 mustangs.

This should help you understand the difference between SOHC,DOHC, and pushrod motors.

Yeah they really have alot of things covered now that they did not a few years ago. It's a cool site for sure.

Oh also a cam is a mod that needs to be made once you are pretty much done with your goal are almost at your goal. As a cam needs to make everything work together well to make the most power. So if your gonna spray it later or add boost, then a cam for a n/a motor is not gonna work well.

Ok, Since I got an idea about the cams.. Now lets say for example I purchase a cam,

Will the SCT SF3 XCal3 Power Flash Tuner be able to tune the engine to this cam specs?

spike_africa · 11-25-2009, 03:58 PM

A decent tuner can give you a tune to handle the idle issues and what not.

SnTBakosFinest · 11-29-2009, 03:06 AM

Supersix can set you up with a very nice comp cam that isn't going to mess anything up, and you can tune fairly easily.

As for whitestang goes..sounds like my cam on a cold start....218/224 OR/X and a stroker...

guess I really need to get a sound clip or two up of idle?
