Great time to tear into things and learn yourself!

I'll cut you a one time deal and do the job for $2k though

great, do you take visa? hahaha

dont get me wrong, id love to do the job myself. But i would like to have someone with me who has done it so they can walk me through it the first time. If i had a video of every step i would attempt it... not only that i dont want to throw off the timing...

Theres lot of little things you have to remember with cams ive heard and i dont wanna chance it unless im 100%

I'm sure there is somebody around your area that has done it before, ask around!

I did a cam swap with just a set of instructions, never having taken a valve cover off.

Its pretty simple, yes there are things you need to remember, but at the end of the day its just nuts and bolts. Having a second person, even if they haven't done it before, is a good idea though.

correct me if im wrong here... long story short. i have platinum warranty coverage on this vehicle which was used. Still have 3 years left on that. since this is a FRPP cam, and a ford dealer installs it, would it retain warranty? hmm have to ask...

S197GT07

Not sure, you would have to ask the dealer.

Of course, if something were to happen do you think they would actually help you? My guess is they would make it a pain, and you would really have to prove it was their work that caused it.

I don't know about the dealers in your area, I wouldn't trust mine to do a tire rotation, let alone tearing into the engine.

I haven't had it dyno'd or tuned locally until I get long tubes. I paid the local Ford dealership to install everything. I also had to replace my cam phaser assembly and I replaced the spark plugs also so my install price was a little higher.

Just buy hotrods or detroit rockers and they will give you a tune for free from brenspeed or AM. No reason to pay for a dyno tune thats for sure. Longtubes really will compliment the cams as well will gears. But of course its your budget so do what you can.

If you're concerned about your warranty, don't mod the car. The most you can hope for is that your platinum warranty will still be honored at the dealer that does the install, but expect a hassle from ALL of the other Ford dealers.

Back to the eibach pro kit for a second. After I installed mine, the ride was HORRIBLE! A week later I crawled back under it thinking I messed up the install. Seen the bump stops were like half an inch from the body. had almost no suspension travel. Cut half the bump stops off and now rides like stock. So much better!
