I just installed the crane cams stage 2 kit from RPM outlet. Remember to add to your list you will need a stall converter with at least a 2800 stall to reap the benefits of the cams.You will need new springs and retainers also.They dont call for it.But I was unable to use factory ones.I thought it was worth it.

I see you recommend getting springs and retainers which i was planning on with my cams as well but I see steel retainers and for about 200 or so more are titanium retainers... worth it???

What are your goals with the cam install?

If you want a nice soft cam, without the hassle of changing the springs, getting VCT lockers (or if you don't get them, having a chance to destroy all your valvetrain) why don't you get the new Ford Hot Rod cam?

Isn't this the sound of a nice cam:

They are new and not too many have them in stock, but if I were in the market for some cams I'll wait for those.

I will be replacing the springs and actually the one i'm kinda interested in requires a phaser mod too. Its the Comp Cams Stage 2 XFI SPR. I do like the sound of that link you sent a lot so i will be considering those as well. I havent even heard of them so i'm glad i asked for some input haha. I will probably end up with a larger than just a normal street cam but I am not going so big to where i need ported heads
