mod steps?
I am knew to the forum and have never done the forum thing but after reading some of the threads I have notice some interesting post and decided to join. So heres the thing, I am thinking about installing a set of comp cams and later installing a pro charger but not sure which to do first. I am also having a trouble finding a shop manual on my 01. I purchased a haynes manual and after installing my headers, I have decided I'd better buy a shop manual. I was also wondering on where to purchase the tools needed for the installation of the cams. Here are some the engine and drivetrain mods completed so far:
TCI breakaway 2400 stall Ford Racing 3.73 gears GMS hot-street coils SCT tuner BBK cold air intake Intake spacer BBK shorty headers BBk under drive pulleys PaceSetter off road H-pipe Flow masters I just looking for some more power gains before taking the car to the track for the first time. I have owned it for just a little over a year. I upgraded the suspension and left the body alone for a slightly stock look. |
Get a higher stall, the stock stall is 2400 so you wasted you money. Um try NAPA, O'Reily, or maybe autozone for the tools. Get Hitech or CMS instead of comp.

Um....you might want to just let a shop tackle the cams install for you...

your talking to a mechanic.
hard for me or you? nah. hard for a guy asking where to buy his tools...probly. and its a little more then that..he does have to actually set the cams in there right after all |

I owned a small repair shop a few years ago and am quite knowledgeble of old school single cam and have done many before. The overhead cam is new to me and people use to be able to buy most specialty tools from the dealership and in my case the dealership where I am located does not sell the cam positioning tool or any other tools for that matter, they suggested that I go to snap-on tool man. So I assumed somebody knew of some website that sells shop manuals or the tools I needed. Just looking for some other opinions from experienced people on the mods to their stangs. Thanks

I am not going to degree the cams, little nervous about that. I thought about replacing the springs but the comp cam lift isn't any higher than factory and I have low miles on the engine so I thought about cheaping out on them.

Yes snap-on is the best, but be ready to pay. |
