Cam swaps in these engines are 200x's easier than on the fords. We actually dropped the cross member on my cobra to do my cam swap. Cam swap on these cars take 2-3 hours tops. Buy the cam tools and it will be very easy. As far as bolts I reused everything. Look inside the heads and you will see the stock cams hardly have any room to begin with.

I have Kleemanns on my car. I installed them along with bunch of other mods at the same time. This is why I can not tell what was the sole gain from them. They were very easy to install (if you have the special holding plates) and they are NOT lumpy at all.

Vioilio - Have you dyno'd your car, or made any 1/4 mile passes? Just wondering because you have done a lot mods?

I did when it was tuned in August. It was 100F hot day. I drove the car to the dyno. After 4 pulls Adam (Eurocharged) said that the tune is already looking good. To be honest I think that Eurocharged didn't bother a lot with tuning my car and what I have is not optimal. The car had some belt slip and also it did slip on the dyno couple of times. Car made 535rwhp and 570rwtq. Since then I installed belt wrap kit and bigger H/E (2 times more fluid than my old combined setup). I will take it to the dyno next week or the week after. I'm very curious to see what the number will be in this cold weather. Will be contacting Jerry soon for a retune.
