Considering changing my timing set w/ cam swap

[go-stang5.0]

Ed recommends a billet timing set and my old Pro gear setup that DSS installed isnt. However it only has like 10k-15k miles on it. I will prolly check it for chail slop before I buy a new one...but I'd like to know what replacement I should get before I rip everything apart. Any suggestions...money isnt an issue up to $200 . So basically no belt drives or that Ford racing hi-vo timing set. BTW I am going to install the cam straight up and probably never make any adjustments so none of that hex adjust, etc. is nescessary.

Did you and Ed talk about the Roll Master set

Very nice ... Great Quality ... Good Value for the Buck Spent

I got a pic or two of it on my site

Was looking at that (but couldent find a price/retailer). I was also looking at summit and jegs brand and also the crane cams setup.

Are you saying Ed does not carry the Roll Master these days

Apperently the owner or Romac is trying to retire and sell the company. Hopefully the new owners (when someone buys) will keep up the good work. I really like my balancer from them and Rollmaster was my first google search but didn't come up with much as far as prices. So summit and jegs was next. Hey grady why dont you buy Romac they only want $2.35 million for the company...plus thats in Australian Dollars so its pretty cheap.
