Just finished installing PI cams and PI intake w/adapter plates on my 96 GT vert today. The car started right up and there were no leaks, CEL or misfires. The low-end is about the same but it now pulls nicely from 3000 to 5000+ rpm's. No mas pig! :banana:

The Anderson tool made for a clean and quick cam swap. There are a couple tricks when using the Anderson tool but well worth it for $29.95. It would have taken me forever to replace the cams the old way, now I can replace both cams in less than 4 hrs. I just took my time, followed directions, and kept everything clean. The stock tune seems to work well. Just my $.02.

take any pics? I've heard mixed reviews from the tool. Some like it, some didn't. Glad it worked for you.

"The matrix is not perfect". However, the tool just barely holds the chain open so you must hold the tool. The tool slipped off the chain once but since the cam gear stayed on the chain I just applied tension and gently pushed the tool back in. The real trick is to keep the chain in tension at all times and not let the cam gear slip on the chain. The June, 2005 issue of 5.0 Mustang has an article on this tool. The cost savings of gaskets and time is worth the price. I'll try to post a pic of the tool later but I took no pics of the install, sorry guys.
