Valvetrain parts

**Martin0660** · 02-25-2009, 06:17 PM

Though you guys might like to see some valvetrain porn :D

New cam, valves, springs, retainers, and keepers.

Stainless steel 1.89 & 1.59 high flow, swirl polish valves (Manley). These are single groove valves.

Chomoly retainers (Crower) and locks. These are drop retainers to accomidate the springs.

New springs

New spring next to a "stock" spring

Custom roller cam :D We will not discuss the specs on the cam, but it is .100 more lift than anything I have ever run, and has real turbo friendly events. Should sound like a tractor at idle ;)

Might make a little more power this year ;)

Bad math, but nice try ;) lift of FMS A237 cam plus .100+ ish = a lot more than .500 :D Lets just say the new package gives me an additional .150 clearance off the guide / seal, and I need it all.

I could only afford half a 5.0 / 4.6 SOHC set, or 1/4 of a 4.6 DOHC set :D What the hell do you do with all of those valves and cams anyway ;) Replacement for the valve shortage .............

In my world, that would take me down to something like a Harley

The unfortunate thing about 4 cylinders is that things DO NOT cost half as much. Could of bought the same set-up for a 5.0 for the same money (I actually buy my springs in sets of 16 typically).

**Ares** · 02-26-2009, 08:54 PM

Set of Comp Cams?

**lib88stang** · 02-26-2009, 09:00 PM

sexy

i'm thinking of skipping the ranger cam and going right with a boport.

Depending on what you do with the rest of the combo, you may / may not be ahead power wise.

I tested 4 cams with the T3. The Ranger roller was as effective as all of them with a stock turbine. (A237, Bo-Port 1.5, Ranger Roller, Stock 88 TC Cam). Bo's 1.5 cam was much stronger under the curve than them all, but did not pick up any MPH at the track. The Ranger roller is a hoot on the street, Bo's 1.5 cam is fun up another 1000 rpm ;) When I ran the A237, I hated the low vacuum and lousy power brakes because of it. Bo told me his 1.9 was about the same for vacuum FWIW. If I owned the RR and was sticking with a T3, that's what I would run (I actually pulled the 1.5 cam and went back to the RR and didnt gain / loose anything).

I would love to test his 1.5 with the new Stage III turbine, but traded that cam back to him. This cam is similar in events to the 1.5 but a ton more lift. We should see in a few weeks how it all works out ;)

Bo is super to deal with, and has always treated me well. You wont go wrong with his stuff no matter what you decide.
