Not bad at all. You be the mule and if you get good gains in the 1/4 I'll get you guys some business

Oh and that's total.... Not per head

Thats awesome. from I've read about the ported and polished Ford heads on AM, I think you will yield similar results with this guy. CNC will more accurate, but porting and polishing is still huge by hand. Those Ford heads are almost a $1,000 each on AM.

I have the ford racing intake manifold with a bbk twin 62 tb, and a jlt cai and yes you do not feel the power till 4k. I also have 4.10 gears. Ive decided to do a whipple instead of a centrifugal sc so when that time come the intake manifold will be going up for sale cheap.

So how much HP did you gain with the combo an did you replace the cams?

I am pretty sure I lost low end torque. I'm having a lot of trouble getting to the stock 1/4 mile times at all. I have a feeling if I did heads and cams it would be a totally different beast.

If I had a dyno that would show a worth while gain, I would get one asap as I am trying to go 12.0 with just bolt ons.

If a TB had such serious gains as manufacturer claims, the dynos would be everywhere.

I never said you can just bolt a tb on. It takes h/c/i all working together. The dyno results are every where, just not on a fourm where 80% want to talk about plastic dipping. Those that have success feel no need to post dyno slips. They let ther time slips do the talking. This fall when I have my motor built, I'll post you an engine dyno sheet, not to the wheels HP dyno sheet, that's a yuppie thing. The only real way to test a mod, is on the track..!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys for all the helpful input, I think I am going to go with the Brenspeed cams, looks like you get most performance for street use out of these.
One more question, is the cam wedge tool worth the $90 to install the cams?

GTRob504 · 05-19-2012, 05:53 PM

I am pretty sure you can pick up a timing chain wedge tool for 25 bucks most anywhere. All it is is a piece of old cheese on the end of a metal rod. Seriously though 90 sounds too much.
