Stock 2011 GT Cam

Hi All,

Question, At what point, power wise, does the stock 2011 GT cam become the bottleneck in producing more power, 475HP or there abouts? Just curious as I don't have any plans to change the cam when I get one. Thanks

Don't touch a thing. The fact that you're not aware that the 2011 GT has 4-cams and not one tells me that you shouldn't do anything but drive it, put gas in it check the oil once and a while.

On a more serious note...the 5.0L TiVCT is only said to have about an 8% restriction in the top end, so I don't imagine you're going to be stopping it up anytime soon. The fact that nobody make aftermarket cams for the engine yet pretty much throws a wrench into anyone wanting to swap them out anyway.

Not quite sure where your 475hp figure came from, but enthusiasts are seeing that kind of power (SAE NET) from bolt ons alone. You're not likely to see anything like that being put to the rear wheels without the aid of some form of power adder until the aftermarket starts building some "serious" parts for this engine.
