Cams are beeing installed...

[scupking]

After a long wait I brought the car to the shop tuesday night to get everything installed. Should get the car back sometime next week. I can't wait!!!!

 

[35thstang99]

awesome man...what kind of cams did you end up going with? are you going to get it dyno tuned now?

 

[BlownStangGT]

Good deal. Cant wait to see what it makes. Hopefully you will meet your goals!

 

[Tim2002GT]

Sweet! We will definately need some new sound clips!

You went with the HiTech stage 2's, right?

Yup HiTech Stage IIs. The only issue is I'm still waiting on mac to ship the LT headers. They said it could still be three weeks before I get them. The guy that's building my car said when the LTs come in he will put them and the VRS shorty X pipe on in one day (not bad). So for the time being I'm going to run my current exhaust but won't get a full dyno tune until I have the headers and the new X pipe installed. I should get the car back sometime next week. I hope I have it back before our clubs mustang cruise next Sunday (we have 100+ stangs going on the cruise). One thing is we will all see if HiTech lives up with their power claim of being the most powerful Stage II cams for the 2v. My builder says if they do he will not recommend any other cam then HiTech (mine is his first Hitech build).

Nice man, bet you are anxious to get it back already.

Get ready for V-tec mustang.............my car is a dog until 3k RPM's and then it opens up and wants to spin the earth the other way.

Funny that's how mine is as well with Comp Cams STG II. I'm putting 4.30s in by the end of the summer to help with the low end loss. But it def feel like I have rocket boosters past 5000 RPMs on up.

The 4.10s should help out.

 

[4tun8]

I have 3.73s..........I wish I had 4.10s

+1 my car is the same way, i dont think my ported heads help this out either

actually it doesn't feel like i start to make good power untill almost 4k then it wants to break the tires loose

 

[4tun8]

I have Patriot STG II heads but they seem to start steaming at 3-3.5k.

 

[jomull55]

do you still have the stock idle? mine feels like all the power is 4k+, i have fox lake stage 2's. and i still have the stock gear

 

[4tun8]

No........mine cams pretty good. My Evo has 272 duration cams in it and they cam about the same.

 

[Silverstang02GT]

I'm jealous. wish I could install cams. I'm saving up for them but its slow going. almost as slow as my car.
cant wait to see the numbers. i plan on installing the Hi tech's when I can.

How is he installling the cams? I like the specs of these cams for PI heads, what I am not liking is that some are having PTV issues with them. I really hope he checks the PTV clearance before starting the car.

 

[02nightmaregt]

Hell yea dude thats awesome! You've had those for a while now. Definately can't wait for the sound clip.

Yup, I asked him and he checks for PTV on all cams he installs.

 

[scupking]

Little update for you guys. I contacted my builder last night and he said the cams went in without a problem no ptv or any other issues. The new PI intake I have needs a new alt bracket so he had to order that and he had to get new seals for the intake seeing as my stock ones where shot. Also the person that is going to be doing my gears can't do them until Sat but I should get a video of how my car sounds before then. Man I want her back I can't sleep.....lol. The nice thing is I already have someone that is going to buy my mrt-h once it's of the car for $250 so that will help out. One interesting thing seeing as I'm still waiting on mac to ship my LTs is that I will get a sound clip of how my exhaust sounds now with the cams and then I will post another clip once I have the LTs and VRS catted X for a comparison.
