Heres the thread on the mods done to the yellow car http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=642152
the Comp Cams still work with the VCT, but you still have to remove & reinstall the VCT stuff to get the cams on.

Everything I have heard about boss330 has been A++++, topnotch, none better. Can you give us any more details? Is the car more for just the straight line track, or is the car daily driveable/dependable? Any ballpark figures for costs? Any other mod's needed to handle the extra power? What cams, pistons, and rods? Any tuning issues, and such?
im very happy with the work i had done at boss 330 and the head work at champion racing heads they put together a great combo that was designed for the drag strip but my wife can still drive it, so yes it very streetable. i plan on spraying a 175 to 250 shot depending on tunning etc. so far with the diablo tune it hasnt had any problems, im sure with a large shot that could all change! if your happy with 400 at the wheels a blower is more cost effective unless you are unlucky or abuse it then you will be rebuild anyway. thats why i did mine rather than sending pistons, rods, valvetrain into a grinder, then theres a lot of machine work and even more money.
Is there any issues with low manifold vacuum @ idle? I hate to ask, but how much fuel mileage did you loose?
havent noticed any vacuum problems and in town i get 18 mpg 21 hwy thats with a 410 gear, i would like to go 430 (na) to keep it up in its power band but im sure that would be to much on spray
Anyone have a vid of Stage II or III here ? Is Blow by Racing using Comp Cams? There vid sounds violent !!!!
stlwagon, did you do the cam install or take it to a shop? I've helped with a cam swap in a 2V, but what does the VCT add to the complexity of swapping the cams? Did you see a noticeable difference in power with the Stage 1 cams?
I had a local guy do it since I don't mess with the internals. He said it was quite a challenge. Didn't get into specifics.
Ok, can you give us some more details? Do you have a video? Increased hp/tq #'s if available? Tuning,what about tuning? Any tuning issues or concerns? Ok, I just read your final hp/tq #'s on your sig. Nice
BBR uses their own cams which are reground stock cams. they may finally have billet cores that have made their way into production. i have not followed BBR since their false cam claims a while back.
Those #s were right after I had the cams & LTs done. Adding the LTs really threw off my A/F so I was still running a bit lean. I think my numbers might be a little higher now but I haven't dyno'd it again yet.
stlwagon, did you buy the cams somewhere and then take them to the shop; or did you buy the whole setup from the shop? I'm trying to find the cheapest place to guy a set of those cams & valvesprings.
Purchased from RPMOutlet and had a local mechanic/speed shop do the work. Didn't do the springs. It is required for the stage 2-4 cams.
