all iv got to say is holy mother, i installed the mother thumper cams tonight and wow wow!! the install was pretty straight forward. the only thing tho is i need gears really bad now, i mean really bad and headers, but i think im going to wait a while for those. but over all i like them a lot.

 

If you like them now, wait till the headers and proper tune go in, not to mention the gears to get you spinning in those higher RPM's. Thats going to be a real holy mother.

 

congrats on a successful install and post
up a video when you can

 

im not sure how but il try. and the car surges a lil bit at lower speed but i think its normal with that type of cam.

 

Congrats ....!!!!!

 

Congrats

and tuning will take care of your surging problem.

 

Congratulations!

 

What gears are you running right now? Also, how was the install? Did the cams come with good instructions? How long did it take you and did you need any special tools? I have been debating on doing the install myself or having a shop do it so I am curious as to if the install was a pain in the ars or if a person with basic knowledge could do it in their driveway with basic tools.

 

Two specialty tools needed. Timing chain wedge and valve spring compressor. I have a timing chain wedge I will sell you, I'm going to keep my compressor just incase a cam follower comes out.

 

If you have an extra person, you don't need the two special tools, but it does make it easier. You can use almost anything for a timing chain wedge (although if you can get the "official" one cheap go for it). The spring compressor is to take out three particular roller followers to relieve spring pressure on the cam. If you don't take them off, you'll need someone to smash down on the cam while the other person puts the cap things (I can't recall their name ATM) on to bolt the cam down.

Unless I can get the tools for real cheap, I'm going commando with it.

But, if something happens where the springs come loose (ask KcMstang, lol) then you do need the spring compressor and hope the valve does not fall in the cylinder.
