Yes, I will be getting a powerpack swap; which one I dont know yet. I think I am going with the Stage 2 pack (but not split port). Yes, that might produce lots and lots of questions with most of you but I dont want to deal with the split port swap. Yes, yes, yes, Ive been here long enough to know the argument but Im fine with the 200 hp, results from the single port power pack.

Sorry, that includes a cam. I still dont know about the cam yet. 200 with, 180-185 without...depends on how the wife feels about the $1000 install cost of the kit....

$1000, do the intakes and heads yourself and just pay for the cam install, good argument to convince the wife lol.

Yes, I am very intimated by you. Every one of your 43 posts constantly run through my head making me quiver in my boots. I wake up in cold sweats with nightmares of you.

And I'm the *******? I'm not telling anyone to go kill themselves cause my feelings got hurt over the internet.

OP, do the whole install yourself. It's not hard, even the cam. If you keep the motor in the car, you'll probably have the take the radiator and a/c condensor out to slide the cam in, or you can just unbolt the motor mounts and lift it up enough on an angle. I haven't done a cam on a V6 Mustang, though, so I don't know how much room there is.

As far as timing the cam, it's not like OHC when timing it. All you have to do is line up the dots on the cam gear and the crank gear. It's easy, peasy, japanesey. Just give yourself a weekend and you should be able to knock it out pretty quick.

You make things sound so simple X. And that guy is over on V6power alot, hes just new here, and he did have one bad **** V6. But if it is easy, I'll pay you $150 to drive to RI and install a cam for me haha.

Well when you break it down it really isn't hard. It's kinda time consuming, but not hard. Although $150 isn't worth driving out of state for me, sorry, lol.

And I don't really care who that guy is, or how badass his car was. I said what I wanted to say, regardless of who he is. You should know by know I don't really care what I say to people.
