1. your wheels
2. your intake (maybe, you don't say what it is)
3. your tune (is it a can tune, or custom?)
4. all cars are a little different
5. your location and how the numbers were corrected
6. people don't list all the little mods like plugs, wires, ignitions, lubricants, etc. (you may not have all the facts)

 

Interesting! I may have to give them a call. Comp is in Memphis, not that far away... Hmmm...... Should have the install wrapped up late today. I could do 5 pushrod engines in the amount of time this takes! Ford says 9 hours for cams only. They are the easy part! Changing the springs is the hard part!

 

Yes, special tools suck! They usually translate into a nice headache.

 

I'm paying $950 to get mine installed... The springs really boosted up the price of the install, sucks.

Dropping my baby off tomorrow and get her back Friday evening hopefully.

Yea, fortunately I don't have to pay labor. The 3v springs are very difficult to get to. The keepers are especially tough. Have to get them in and out with a long thin magnet. The locks drop lower into the new retainers so you have to compress them a lot farther than the factory springs to get them in. On the bottom vavle, rear drivers side, I had to use a mirror to see to get the locks in. Give me a 2v cam and spring swap anyday. They are a breeze compared to this! Anyway, Just have to put everything back together and hit the key in the morning. I blasted and reshot the valve covers with Redfire Imron and 3 coats of clear. They had started to peel a little in a couple of areas. This time I shot them with Variprime self etching primer before the paint went on. Have to wait for them to cure overnight.

 

Well, it is finally done. FREAKIN SWEET! I dropped the idle in my Dynotune a tad and it has a really nice lope to it. You can feel it when you are sittining in the drivers seat. It'll rock you to sleep. Unfortunately, it has been raining all morning, so I really could not get on to much. The tires just break loose everytime I jump it a little. I don't have the vid cam with me, but I will post vid and dyno sheets after the dyno session saturday.

Kudos to Brenspeed. Brent and Dave are awesome and answered any question I had at any point during the install. You guys are awesome!

 

The forecast...sunny weather and smoking tires for the weekend. lol

I'll have to meet you at the track again to check out your car. I want to hear the lope bad!! Can't wait to see the dyno results! Congrats!
