Sounds great! How's the driveability? More specifically do you have any surging at low RPM's in 1st gear (stop and go traffic)?

Driveability is awesome. Hot rods and a tillman tune is a great combo. The car feels great in stop and go no problems at all. I would say I kept about 95% driveability. If you are thinking about doing it I say go for it. I cant stop smiling when driving this thing now. The car has a more aggressive exhaust note as well.

Just for anyone who wants to know, we have some idle tricks on our cam tunes that give it a nice lope, and allow us to keep from having to jack up the idle for driveability!

3 hours to install. Can you elabortate? I want cams BAD but I can't afford the 10 hours that everyone wants to charge me to have them installed. I've done engine swaps with chevy 350's (flame suite on ) but haven't done any work on a ford yet. It still irks me that everyone swears it's 10-12 but I heard rumors it can be done in 3-4.

Branman, didn't you say it was 3 hours total for the cams, intake, and delete plugs?
