Okay, so I'm frustrated as al get out...my car has NO balls before like 4000....stock internals, complete 2 1/4 inch exhaust, with the shorty/cat-bypass set up which is SUPPOSED to give more torque than the raceheader..Volant Intake, and FC 3 pc UDPs....now what I want to know is, which cams should I get for the best low end torque gain??
Which Cams???

According to my cam spec card and the spec card that Crane supplies on their website, they are exactly the same.

Not to try to talk you out of getting cams, but you might want to invest in just cam gears first. I installed my gears before my cams and was shocked with the difference. Above 4500 the car just hauls! I used -6 -4 for the setting as was really surprised with the results. I think I appreciate where my cams make their power more now after driving around for a month with the stock cams adjusted. As for gaining low end torque I'm not sure all I can tell you is that you won't loose any low end with just gears.

Crane offers three different cam grinds for the Focus.
Grind #0010 (Stage 1)-Good low-end power, strong mid-range. Automatic or manual transmission. For max HP and RPM use low restriction aftermarket air intake and header w/free-flow exhaust. RPM range: Idle to 6,500
Grind #0012 (Stage 2)-Stout Street/Track profile. Manual transmission w/headers and free-flow exhaust. RPM range: 2,000 - 7,000
Grind #0014 (Stage 3)-Radical Street/Strip profile. Manual transmission w/headers. CNC Ported heads w/port matched intake. Increased Compression recommended: 10:5 - 12:0. Excellent Power naturally aspirated PLUS super nitrous cam or supercharger. RPM range: 3,000 - 8,000

I am gonna get some Kent cams from FocusSport probably a custom grind once I figure out what I need.Originally posted by FocusOnMyZeTec:

Vince do your crower's have the little pins at the end for the cam gears so they don't slip??? I know the Kent's have them!

The clearance was checked on all my valves and the cams were still in spec with the stock buckets. If Crower says their cams are drop and go I don't see why the Cran/FR would be any different since they are more mild then the crowers. My car does idle fairly rough, with the way my cams are set. The idle was fine before we tuned my gears, now it is a bit rougher since I got poly motor mounts.
Well tuck your pecker between your legs and walk in circles. I just talked to Kenny's and that was a one time deal. They did say that they will sell them for $340 though.
Thanks for the info Modifyyourfocus. That's what I needed. I'll bug you in a couple days when I get them.
