New cams and heads

GT/CS · August 15th, 2007, 04:30 AM

I have a 2007 Mustanng GT/CS 4.6L and I just got new racing heads with bigger lift cams. The heads are already come installed with the new valve train but not the cams of course. What sort of things can I expect to have to have to do with this kind of swap? Eg oil/lubrication or adjusting anything withing the heads/cams? I already have new gaskets and studs so thats a check. I am told that the stock followers and lash adjusters are to be reused from the stock heads...this means? What do they do? Thanks for any help guys!

You need to have the cams degreed...You should have a cam card that came with your cam...

This is not a great frist time do it yourselfer project...

You need a tune as well...

Depends on what the lift/duration of the cam is but you might need new valve springs...

Oh i already have the whole aftermarket valve train installed in the heads and will have the car dynoed once it's done. As for the timing card I'll have to look. What exactly comes on the cam card? Just specs for the degrees? How do you adjust the cam degree?
