How is the idle with these cams? Does the car have a noticeable "lope" now?

I hope I didn't miss it but what did you use for a spring compressor? What make and model? Any pics of it?

TIA,

There is a tool for 4v motors and a separate tool for 2v motors. I actually bought both tools. The 2V tool will only get to half the springs on a 4v motor, but was easier to use and sturdier than the 4v tool. The 4v tool should be OK, but I would buy both even if I did it again. I think I paid about $200 for both tools.

Part number for 4v tool is OTC 303-452 (same as T93P-6565-AR)
Part Number for 2v tool is OTC 303-567

OTC is manufacturer. Bought mine online by searching for OTC tool dealers.

car sounds great im going to start looking at different cams to install. anyone running a voodoo cam id like input.

ahmach1 · 09-04-2005, 09:05 PM

How much louder did the headers make your car, and how much louder did the headers and cam combo make your car over stock? (I did listen to your file on the first page and it sounds great, but its hard to judge how loud it is.) I'm considering doing headers and a cam, but I don't want to wake the dead. I have a Harley w/ a Crane cam in it and it makes much more noise than I would like.

Hotrodbob · 09-04-2005, 11:46 PM

I just got a pair of new heads still in the box. I want to get this cam kit. Should I have the heads ported some and who should I go to?

devous1 · 09-12-2005, 10:30 PM

Just curious did you check other available cams, I remember reading a post along time ago. Where another guy removed the FR cams and put in Sean Hyland st2 or something of this nature. Those were the cams I was considering, if I remember right he said they were a whole nother world. I also came across comp cams below.

Not to discount yours, congratulations, I have extreme envy, I have tons of tools and strong mechanical ability but I think I'm scared to try it. I'd be afraid to get it back together and the mofo wouldnt start and I would have to have it towed for a fix.

Your car looks and sounds awesome.

devous1 · 09-13-2005, 08:22 PM

MachOneThis, how about this for us sissies. Ever think about making a detailed video on the install. Man I would really love to do this, this winter but I'm worried about doing something incorrect.

If some one made a vid and put it on DVD I would be willing to pay a good price for it. Some one consider it please.

wake · 09-15-2005, 03:18 PM

Any chance of a repost of those videos? They seem to be down and the site they are hosted on is under construction. The only video that works is the first one and I wanna hear more

I wish I would have thought about that....the install was definitely a PITA but was well worth it. We just had a few pictures here and there and that was it, sorry. Good Idea though.

2k4mach · 10-20-2005, 12:35 PM

The off road x-pipe added more loudness than anything in the exhaust. The headers woke it up in the higher rpms. The cams along with the exhuast have a pretty mean idle - the cams hit enough at idle to shake the car somewhat. Most people do not pull up next to this Mach at a light - they hang back.

Just clean up the bowl area and gasket match. Be sure to use high flow valves - more flow for the money with high flow valves. We have the valves, but have not installed since we did not remove the heads. Will do a comp valve job and install the valves at a later date.

A lot of good cams out there - I like the Comp offerings and Crane cams. I just went with these because they are somewhat mild, but offer some good gains and a nice idle with a little lope. They have a broad power band - they pull good from 2000 - redline.

I got lucky and found someone selling there kit on this website.

StangIT · 10-18-2006, 04:23 PM

aah, MAN! I can't get the video to work! it takes me to a Search Directory Page! Have anymore videos or sound files?

SIrRicCuS · 11-25-2006, 05:33 PM

This is one sick thread... I love it!

dontmockthemach · 12-26-2006, 05:35 PM

I hate to be the one asking stupid questions, but no luck on searching. Here it goes: Other than adding more fuel, did you have to change anything on you're tune?

ricky bobby · 04-14-2007, 03:02 PM

I need some clarifacation. On a daily driver with the cams how does she performe. Is it an ugly driver or does it enhance the drive. I have somewhat of a lead foot but do most of my driving comuting to town every day. What did it do for your gas milage. From the read the fr500 cams brought you stock motor up almost 70 rwhp and torque across the board. I very rarly beat 6000 rpm and wonder if the cams are worth it.

wutang61 · 10-16-2007, 11:44 PM

according to naz down low power was about the same. very very low loss (i think max loss was 7hp) but when you get on it its crazy. i just wanna hear the idle! that video link quit working

greygod · 10-17-2007, 11:19 AM

i will try and get some vids this weekend.
my idle is just slightly higher than stock.

only issue i am having is car doesnt idle well some times and has
cut off on me. think is too much fuel down low. runs well all other times

Mean04Mustang · 02-04-2008, 02:11 AM

Can we get the videos LOL. I want to here this. Im really really close to getting a new cam kit but unsure if I can remove the heads while engine is still in car. Anyone know? If so then Ill put on new long tube headers as well. If not then I might just put the cams in with the springs. Anyone have a better set of cams overall like these are? I dont hit above 6000 rpms. Gots to bbe streetable also. Pretty sure im going with this kit though.
