New 5.0 "ghost cam" tune Empty New 5.0 "ghost cam" tune

I saw this and thought it was interesting.
Never mind the hiphop crap mixed in...

Since the new 5 liter's are 4 valve motors with computer adjustable cam phasers....you can have a nasty idle with just a tune.
Ford Racing has already done this with the 2012 Boss "track Key" Start the car with the track key and it will idle rough.
Everything I've read so far has said no drivability issues because it reverts back to normal at 1200rpm.

I have mixed opinions on this.... I LOVE the sound of something with a lot of cam, but I've never built something that really needed it and I won't sacrifice performance for idle sound.

Now that Comp makes the Thumpr series, I would be really temped to use one in my next build. But at least I would have swapped a cam!
Is it cool that the cammed sound will be diluted by a bunch of guys with an axle back exhaust and "ghost cam" tune.....?
I don't know. Because to be honest, if my wife had bought a new 5 liter rather than the 6 banger....I'd probably already have the rough idle tune already.....

Then again....they make a tune to make a sixer thump as well....but I have to draw the line somewhere!

I seen that. I have mixed feelings, too. It does sound cool, but it is a little much. I am looking to have my 5.0 tuned when I can get it done locally by someone I trust.

Here is a better sounding version of the "cammed" tune. This car does not have cats.
I was told it only takes about 2 minutes to change flash tunes. Cool.
