Well the install is complete. The PCM is having some trouble learning the idle. It keeps wanting to stall when I come to a stop.

BUT...

On the freeway it's a different story. This thing smokes now. When I was coming back from the install last night, I had been driving for about 1/2 hour when (in short) me, an 05 or 06 Mustang and a GSXR all happened to wind up next to each other. The motorcycle kept ******* the Mustang and the guy finally bit. We all got on it at about the same time and the motorcycle was just screwing with us, but then finally twisted the throttle and he was a speck in seconds. So that left me and the Mustang. He either wasn't getting on it all the way or it was an even match because he wasn't pulling on me. I let off at 110 and he kept on...whatever I'm not running above that.

Anyway, I am very happy with the results. There's more of an increase than I thought I would see. And that's before the tune...that'll happen next week. This thing should sing after that...

 

how was the install or did you do it? i was toying with the idea of a cam but if i do would like to know if it would be wiser to get it insalled

 

It depends on your experience and tools. There are some specialty tools to line parts up when reinstalling, a good spring compressor is needed, air/airtools, etc.

If you have all of that stuff and are comfortable ripping that far into an engine, go for it. If you have any doubts, I would pay someone. It's definitely not a simple procedure if you've never done one.

 

glad to hear it worked out for ya moze, cams are awesome!

 

sounds awsome man.

 

After doing it once though I wouldnt hesitate to do it myself with a buddy or somethin. Let us know how it turns out!

Chris

 

glad it went well

what cam did you go with? How long did it take ya?

 

Cam installs are a piece of cake on these motors.....as long as you have a harmonic dampener puller, a good torque wrench, and a torque angle gauge you'll be fine

 

Congrats Moze !!

I was more than thrilled with the gains I got from my cam install.....the gains after tuning will REALLY surprise you !!

 

where do you get the torqe angle guage?
