^Absolutely. Got $500 and $750 quotes from Ford dealerships in the area, decided to buy the tools and do it myself. Pretty straightforward install with the right tools, except I think the valve covers are leaking
Oh well, an excuse to get in the garage and do some wrenching.
Runs awesome with Bamachips tune, no issues. With an auto you can feel it pulsating throught the brakes when at a stop light, I love 'em. Not sure about gas mileage yet

Congrats,you will love them. Make sure you get new cam bolts because they are a 1 time use only. When you do your tune make sure it is retarded to 20 deg. above 4000 rpm for the most power. Call Ford Racing for the correct numbers and you will get the most power. A lot of people don't know this. You will need a gear because you have to feather the clutch a little,I had 355's and now I have 410's. Its awesome now. Enjoy!

Luv the Cams! My car is a little more racey-quick to rev and somewhat tricky from a dead stop for a novice, perhaps. But my wife sometimes drives it so, it can't be that bad. (She's kinda dumb). It is my daily driver/only car and I just love it. I did gain some HP (see attached thread). MPG probably dropped from 19 to 17 average for a good combination of hwy/city. But it is a small price to pay for the happiness.

Brother - I think at this point you just need to buckle down and drop some jack on a set of Livernois Stage 2/3 heads with their cams, springs, etc. Save yourself the heartache and pain. You stress about this anymore and we are gonna have to send out the EMT's to revive your ***. LOL
