i wouldnt attempt it, and "alot of power" is not really true either, you need very good tuning and a very good setup with supporting mods to get good power

 

Heres an article about it step by step install with new springs.

Unless you want to go with the No Springs Required cams that are being sold. I was going to go with the FRPP NSR cam but have now changed my mind and am installing a comp cams which needs replacement springs. I am dropping my car off at the shop today but it is not a cheap swap. I was quoted $700 for install then add in tuning etc. I wish I could do it myself but I am not that skilled.

 

If you get the Brenspeed or FRPP NSR cams, you shouldn't have to pay more than $300 or so for the installation. I would leave it to the pros. I was also led to believe you needed a few tools from Ford that end up costing about $300 if you do it yourself. You'll get the most power from a dyno tune, so after install, I would find a local dyno tuner. If you go with the Brenspeed cams, then an email tune would probably be sufficient (though I would still datalog and send the dyno and data back to Brenspeed to have the tune tweaked).

 

cheapest install price i could find for the nsr cams was $600. special tools are required. the frpp cams are probably $750 + 600 for install + 300 for a custom dyno tune (all local prices)

$1650 total

 

That's inflated as all heck. Brenspeed charges about $300. I wouldn't think Sutton would charge much different from that.

 

What possible "special tools" would be required for a cam swap other than possibly a gear puller?

 

Words like gear puller and special tools made med decide to get my comp cams installed at a pro the second i started researching it. I've put on superchargers before I see no reason to ever leave a cam instal to anyone but a professional.

Besides this I know people that have damaged their engines over installing cams wrong. They didn't learn the first time and blew 2 engines.
