I decided to hold off on the 31 Splin Axel and dif. and put VT Stage 2 Blower Cams in since the engine is going to be out. So Im getting the cams and springs but do I need the Cam Gear Kit also? It says you need them if you have pressed on cam gears. Do I have pressed on cam gears?

Also how much extra power will I see with these with stock heads?

Thanks :SNSign:

You do not need cam gears or the bolts.
Being an '04,you gears are bolt on,and VT supplies new bolts,and washers with there cams.

no, it won't.

*1991 to 1998 & 2001 to 2004 are Romeo engines and ALL Romeos have bolt-on cam gears

*excecption are 1996 Crown Vic's wth a Windsor engine and 1999 & 2000 Mustangs wth Windsor engines, as ONLY Windsors have pressed-on cam gears
