    Cams for a 2013 4.7

    I understand the 4.7 was discontinued in 2013 and not many preformance parts are available, but I'm interested in cams. Iv seen many HO cams on gen 3s and was wondering if cams would be worth it? Has the engine changed at all where HO cams won't work? And if any one knows a good place to buy some?
