2006 mustang gt comp cams install and test

[Turbo05gt]

Actually the 3v 4.6 is a good car/motor to work on. Can you put on long tube headers with a tubular k-member? I don't think so, but I can. Also these cars were meant to be fairly simple to work on. Good for track cars, although the cobra motor/tranny are much better.

[MyersFan1and4]

what did you have to do with the timing gears, did you have to take them off or what

[xmodrock]

the 05+ engines are a mess to work on.. my 99 cobra is nice and clean.. easy to work on

[nigeleckzdee]

@xmodrock good for you.

[Doge139]

i swear to god i saw a gixxer with that same paint today cept it had weird grips i thought it was costum paint butg i guess not

[hamr1]

Hey what kinda video sun visors are those?

[king210lbs]

nice gxsr

[1sambone]

why did you have to remove the spark plugs?

[micdmechanic2010]

@1sambone to lock the cylinder in tdc to hold the valves in place while changing springs.

[blackstallion4209]

damn you gotta whole garage full of goodies there. nice vid man

[wkd209]

what does the wedge do?

how much easier would this install be if you didnt have to put on springs?

[micdmechanic2010]

@wkd209 quite a bit

[SeanBallaWaller1]

im thinkin about doin this to my shelby gt. how much average is cost total with install? oh and hp gain?

[micdmechanic2010]

@SeanBallaWaller1 i did the install myself but look to spend about a g on parts labor took me 2 days cause a valve retainer fell down into an oil galley

[AcuraUnderground]

@micdmechanic2010 damn that had to suck man at least you got it!!

[Nickmaster26]

cams + longtube headers are my big project this summer

[hawkbrandons32]

I am installing comp cams in my 4.6 gt and I have a question.. How can I be 100 percent sure they are lined up perfectly correct?? What do I use as a reference? I have the right at 12 and the left at 11 nd the crank at 6. But there's slack in the chain and I want to make sure to get that part right. No one really seems to have an answer for me

[micdmechanic2010]

well slack in the chain doesnt sound great... mine went on great , i did nothing but shove the wedge in there pull the cams install the new and change the oil. only to be forsure is to degree your cams i would think but then ur pulling the timing cover off the front of the motor

[dalemllns]

dude first love the car. I have a black 08 bullitt and I wanna add cams and spray so thats how I found your vid. One question what all was involved here, did you use the factory cam phasers or use the lockouts? and did you ever take the chains off the sprockets or did they remain in place while you replaced the cams? Because i read that you have to spin the cam over some during the torq proccess any help is appreciated thx

[stangization]

Why would u wan't a stereo like that in that car? I would just wanna listen to the motor, Nice job though!!

[lethaldosage6040]

kinda creepy, just pointing and groaning lol

[moparmuscle577]

nice ride, can you give me the specs on that wedge tool?

[Maxmaj1q]

Nice toys!

[jjjester123321]

[micdmechanic2010]

lol nope.... but thanks for the props

[rb33rams]

Nice looking GT man. Great sound of the american muscle car. One question though, any problems removing the spark plugs with out any of them breaking?

[micdmechanic2010]

1 broke but i was being kinda rough because i had all new ones goin in

[tbi08]

what r the dimensions for the wood block piece ?

[micdmechanic2010]

ne one who needs specs or wants to buy one can sent me a message id be more than happy

-mic d -

[tbi08]

did you install using the instructions given by compcams?

[micdmechanic2010]

that and others from vairous forums

[slim69S]

and that wierd tools from ford do i realy need it or i can do the job without it

[micdmechanic2010]

@slim69S need the tool for sure if you want to put in springs

[slim69S]

do i have to get new gasket for the valve cover?

[micdmechanic2010]

@slim69S no , just dont F it up

[evRmore104]

good looking mustang...plus it sound so aggressive

[hellsdeadjuggalo]

not a ford guy but i do love those gen mustangs and i gotta say yours is probably one of my favorites

[buqethed]

I would like to see how you made the tool.  Thanks!

[antonyM2007]

dats a nasty horse you got thier

[rrtx2007]

how did you tune it???? my nemesis is dyno tune fucks... no other way to tune my car...

[micdmechanic2010]

i used a diablo tuner for now and will have kc  motorsports dyno tune it

[micdmechanic2010]

i used a preditor

[rrtx2007]

Awesome. I'll never let someone else touch my car. The cams, LT headers and motor mounts are the only parts I haven't done myself. That will change now. It's not worth it to let someone touch your car IMO. I'm going to swap my FRPP cams out with some FI friendly ones this fall along with the centri s/c. I refuse to EVER reinstall the stock 6k power cams. This car f-in wheezed! above 6k stock.

[micdmechanic2010]

yep stock cams and springs dont like to be wound up to tight you can start to feel the valve float around 5500rpm and loose power , hopefully the springs will allow me to do what i want with it, and ya dont let anybody touch your car!!!!! i knew a shop mechanic for bmw and rest assured that dealership mechanics that get alone with your car will drive the piss out of it and have compleet disregard to the condition of a nice auto..

[micdmechanic2010]

well parts cost something like 850 with new oil filter,mobil 1 oil, cams ,valve springs, retainers, torque to yeild bolts and specil valve spring compressor tool, i reused the valve cover gaskets and did not take off the heads, took about 6 hours to do over 2 days(got rather frustrating with trying to put on the compcams 190lb springs.....their strong!!!)

[TheDAWG24]

how much did this cost you to do?

[IrishChris1979]

Awesome man! Simply awesome!!

[micdmechanic2010]

no idea yet... no way to get it to the dyno. but more mods yet to go on and ill post them as i get them done and when it goes on the dyno ill post a video and dyno graph for natural and nitrous

[alpinestar7272]

ah damn sucks that u got a DUI. SOrry to hear =(

U should get a sponsor to pay for all the tires your gonna use lol.

Well hopefully we will get to see some drive bys etc.... Good luck and stay below .08 =p

[alpinestar7272]

How much HP do the new cams give now?

You need to make a video of the sound of your new cams. I love the sound of Mustangs with cams. So yeah try to make a idle/rev test or a few drive by passes!!!

Thanks
