good so i'm not alone btw you can get the HP cam new from ford for about $170 but be aware you may find you will need new valve stem seals fitted. This can be done without taking the head off by a mechanic if he has the right gear

We are few and far between mate!

Can you run the HP ecu with the fuel rail & cam or will the tuning be all wrong?

Yeh I work at cab base I'm not mechanic but I've been working on cab for 10 years now, so we got all the tools to take the valve out. But are the lifters the same or do I have to replace?

the lifters/ rockers are the same just change the cam and you can either punt on the seals they may fail and blow smoke or you can do them while the rocker gear is off

if you can get a damaged heater box with all the controls intact you'll save $ you need the whole ignition switch not just the barrel and try to get an XR non vct ECU better performance and adaptive shift. you really need an engine bay loom too for your traction and cruise

Just found out today that a guy I work with is heading to Brisbane Friday. He said he would have picked it up for me : Always late to get the news. :

You did well. I'm very keen to follow your progress.
