Im sure the guys here that have nice lumpy cams made to scream as the revs clumb, wouldnt mind not spitting and surging trying to navigate traffic or a parking lot
Every modern combustion engine has at least one cam, and I understand how they are doing it in the 5.0. From someone that has had many highly modified small block and big block motors, it just doesn't sound the same as the real deal to me. Although, I must say, the 5.0 mustang sounds way better than any other motor I've heard with a ghost tune. I really don't see the point though.
