@@Thelegendking-yj4bm Detroit rockers na grind

I've listened to several videos of 3-valves with these Detroit Rocker cams and almost regret going with my Comp Cam Stage 2 XFI NSR 127200 cams that were designed for higher peak hp and forced induction. The Detroit Rockers definitely have more chop and sound better. I own a mint condition, low mileage 2006 that I've owned since brand new with Kenne Bell 2.6L blower and my Comp Cams added 34.25bhp and 29.44tq. I've added way too many mods to include here, but I've dyno'd at 500rwhp / 453.45 rwtq, (max recommended tq on a stock 3V motor) and that's plenty of power for me. I can barely keep the power to the ground as it is even with 305/40-18 NT555RII drag radials in the rear. Thanks for the video.

Awesome video! I told people about your Fusion for years haha! I wish Ford would make a cool V8 sedan but these car companies aren't what they used to be. I'm very meticulous about my car and it's good to see someone else taking their time and doing it the right way.

Just finished installing my Detroit rocker cams in! Sounds awesome, thank you very much for all the info, 100% helped me during the install

Great to hear!

I love the videos man, keep it up!

This is a lot easier job than I thought. I was honestly kind of terrified taking it on. I had never worked on any ohc cars just old pushrod motors (good old windsor) but using this same method I had it done in about 2 hours. Only thing I did different is I took off the intake manifold but that was mostly because I was putting on the ford racing intake manifold. Also do longtubes at the same time. The car was a completely different machine when I was done. Threw a 150 shot on it now 3 years later and 200lbs of nitrous she’s still kicking. I bought a 2019 10 speed pp1 gt last year. Plan on giving the 3v to my son when he turns 16. But we still got 4 years till then

I have 3 , haven’t had a mustang since 2000 .im thinking about getting this done

Great video! Would like to know the hp gains on your 3 upgrades after the tune

Thanks for the mustang content man. If you have time to answer a question I’d appreciate it. I have an 09 3 valve fuel Ltft are high. +10 to +14 no vacuum leak checked and replaced intake and hoses around the intake. Am I missing something?

Great video!

Wondering if you ever had a no start condition after installing the cams?

Great vid, im about to do the job. Was wondering if that same cam will work on my 96 gt 4.6

2V and 3V have different cams. I would search some cam setups for it and see what's recommended

I didn’t see that you turned the crank pulley to the 1 o’clock position? Is it not necessary?

Whats the pattern to tighten the bolts?

Im looking at having to do a head gasket job on my 5.4 3v F150. Its supercharged and Id love to put the FRPP cams in it while its apart.

@@EastDallasKicks From what I understand this kit was designed in conjunction with Ford to be as "factory like" as possible. That said its an Eaton blower which isn't known for making the most power. Its very stockish, even at 500hp its not a monster. It just feels like a much bigger V8. Personally if I were going to boost a 5.4 Id go with the largest whipple I could fit. They make their power down low, but the rods can only take about 500 before they bend. Im on the limit. A good tune is the saving grace.

Did same thing with my 08 GT, only issue Iv had is the Howard rattler cams I got are just shy of a 1/3 of a inch shorter than stock cams. Cam sits fine just the phaser is pulling timing chain close to the firewall of the engine, I have maybe 2/10s of a inch clearance compared to almost a half inch with the stock cams..
