Already have 4.10 and jus about every bolt on possible, looking at getting the intake.
Yes i have the ford racing intake pretty gud hp gains and tq but the delete plates from steeda is cheaper and ive seen same hp and tq gains but im planning on super charging so thats why i got the ffrp intake its tested up to 2 bars of pressure, plus looks sick under the hood and doesn't soak in the heat stays cool even after hard driving

I spent 20 minutes tonight talking with a kid in a Chevy pickup. I just stopped for gas but he was full of questions about the cams. I can't wait to get my BMR lca brackets on and back to the strip.

Everything sounds good except for the headers. Comp recommends longtubes. Makes a huge difference

My mechanic's busy so I have to wait another week to get them installed... at least that will give me time to fix my rattling exhaust, with cams the problem would probably be much more pronounced

Comp cams do make the better power of the two but require limiting or as I used to Locking out the cams. This may impact economy but truly both of them at idle are going to be a little agressive on mpg.

Still, I've tuned and installed FRPP cams, even in a 11:1 engine with Stage 3 heads, and they work well and with the stock limiters. This in turn makes for a easy install without removing the timing cover, if you goto a mechanic that knows how to work on a 3-valve.

Either require tuning, and the cams accent additional mods like LT headers, CMVC deletes and/or intake manifold. You wont go wrong with either.

Thanks, Doug

Got my FRPP hotrods in and they are awesome. Shakin' around something fierce with the poly motor mounts. Low end torque loss seems really minor. Only noticed it when I put it in reverse and it required a higher RPM to keep from dying

That's awesome man! Glad you like em! I'm sure your flywheel makes the loss in torque less noticeable since you have to rev higher anyway. Watch how your antenna wiggles now lol

The MRT H-pipe is a bad fit, I have to angle it that way to keep the overaxle pipe from banging into the panhard brace.
