ShelbyDW Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi All, I was looking at installing new cams in the Shelby. I am looking at the FRRP M-6550-3V Hot Rod Cams. The setup would be the 550 whipple, FRRP 62mm TB with thess cams. Anybody have a setup close to this in here? If yes do you like it or recommend the combination? How many more HP did you see out of this upgrade? Thanks for any information. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americaniron Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I went with blower specific cams from Comp. They are not as lopey sounding, but work better with the Whipple for getting the best performance. I know of a few Whipple 550 owners who have used the Hot Rod ones, and liked it.

Can you share more information on the cams you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americaniron Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Before I went beserk with my engine combo, I used these cams that I linked at the bottom. They are a custom NSR cam, and would work good with your application. I ran these for about two and a half years with my Whipple 550, and was very happy with how they performed. They did not sound as lopey as those with the Hot Rods, or the Detroit Rockers, but you will still hear the difference. You will notice better performance through out the power and torque curve with these since they are set up for blower use. Give them a call, and talk with them about what you want to do, and what your future plans may be. They have a great reputation, and really good customer service.I still run the Whipple, but it's a whole different motor setup now with different cam needs.http://www.brenspeed.com/127bren2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have the Hot Rod cams, or complete engine. They sound great and work well. I've had three dynos, the lowest was 501hp and the highest was 520hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewarbc Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I can personally attest to Springer's and Zachman's comments and vehicles........I saw and heard both of these vehicles at the last Legacy Bank Shelby Show and they are awesome.
