Well the cams are delivered. I went to a dyno last night for a baseline of where it stands now and pulled 306 rhp. This is a different dyno than the one I have used previously. This one is used by several local race teams including Sadler brothers from the busch series. I will install the cams next week and hit the same dyno as last night so I can get the gains. That is scheduled for next Saturday. The dyno is sae corrected etc. and is very consistant, so the numbers should be a true reflection of gains. I will post both sheets up then.

So 305 before LTs/UDPs, and 306 after? I'm confused.

Yea, a completely different dyno. I scratched my head too, but supposedly this is the guy with the most consistent dyno around. I dropped .25 off of my 1/8th mile time after the headers and udps, so obviously there were decent gains. Wanted to go to the same dyno as before but they are booked way in advance. Had to go to a different one so I could get the before and after accomplished on the cams. At least I, we, will know what gains they actually give.

I was pushing 300 RWHP on a Mustang Dyno with an O/R Pipe and C&L Intake on a 93 octane tune. I imagine you have much more then that... So I'll be scratching my head forever. With such mods I managed a 13.2 @106. 2.039 60' on stock tires. I feel I could have done better. Removed the O/R Pipe, installed LCAs & UDP's. A 2.088 60' (Have yet to see an improvement from the LCAs.) and 13.1 @ 107 mph. I'm not sure what kind of mods you were running when you hit 305 RWHP... I can only assume it was a Mustang Dyno, because you'd probably be at 320-325 on a Dynojet. So 306 RWHP with UDPs & LTs are strange indeed.

It was a mustang dyno. I had a cai, high flow-x and axlebacks with a custom dynotune back then. I was pulling similair 60 foots as you with race version LCA's, panhard and upper 3rd link and the original tires. I added the Steeda 3 point torque braces and KDW2's and pull consistant 1.69 to 1.75 60 foots now. Go figure.....

So many things affect dyno results, no two read the same, weather, altitude, so on and so on, they really just get you in the ballpark and help see what affect the mods give before and after.

PRGT you have 20" Rims, that alone is going to lower your numbers.

MusicCityGT: This was in another thread. Don't know how many of these threads you read, but thought it might interest you since you just purchased the Comp Cams. Maybe you could contact them and be one of their R&D vehicles. To me, it would be worth the phone call to find out. Tell them you'll pay for dyno time and send them the graphs or something. Here's a link...

1. your wheels
2. your intake (maybe, you don't say what it is)
3. your tune (is it a can tune, or custom?)
4. all cars are a little different
5. your location and how the numbers were corrected
6. people don't list all the little mods like plugs, wires, ignitions, lubricants, etc. (you may not have all the facts)

Interesting! I may have to give them a call. Comp is in Memphis, not that far away... Hmmm...... Should have the install wrapped up late today. I could do 5 pushrod engines in the amount of time this takes! Ford says 9 hours for cams only. They are the easy part! Changing the springs is the hard part!

Yes, special tools suck! They usually translate into a nice headache.

I'm paying $950 to get mine installed... The springs really boosted up the price of the install, sucks.

Dropping my baby off tomorrow and get her back Friday evening hopefully.

Yea, fortunately I don't have to pay labor. The 3v springs are very difficult to get to. The keepers are especially tough. Have to get them in and out with a long thin magnet. The locks drop lower into the new retainers so you have to compress them a lot farther than the factory springs to get them in. On the bottom vavle, rear drivers side, I had to use a mirror to see to get the locks in. Give me a 2v cam and spring swap anyday. They are a breeze compared to this! Anyway, Just have to put everything back together and hit the key in the morning. I blasted and reshot the valve covers with Redfire Imron and 3 coats of clear. They had started to peel a little in a couple of areas. This time I shot them with Variprime self etching primer before the paint went on. Have to wait for them to cure overnight.

Well, it is finally done. FREAKIN SWEET! I dropped the idle in my Dynotune a tad and it has a really nice lope to it. You can feel it when you are sittining in the drivers seat. It'll rock you to sleep.

Unfortunately, it has been raining all morning, so I really could not get on to much. The tires just break loose everytime I jump it a little. I don't have the vid cam with me, but I will post vid and dyno sheets after the dyno session saturday.

Kudos to Brenspeed. Brent and Dave are awesome and answered any question I had at any point during the install. You guys are awesome!
