Uh, yeah, 35hp for $300 and 5 hours labor is pretty damn impressive. I doubt you can get even a 35-hp Sneaky Pete kit for $300 from NX........
If the dyno numbers that Bernd posted in the V-8 forum are true, this is a HELL of a deal.

I got the HO intake manifold, too. $150 for cams, $150 for intake. That's about $1000 of parts when you start talking aftermarket parts for a Camaro or Mustang...... Hahahahaha!!

Are they willing to ship the parts? Did you have the "special tools" to install?

Koons ships the parts. You will have to come up with the tool yourself. I got the tool from Marty at KRC.
CW- Bernd posted that the cams+intake+computer tweaks = 35 hp. I bet most of it was the computer....

Alex, I'll be able to prove/ disprove it as soon as I get back to the dyno. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks. My gut feeling is less 15 hp +/-.
I would be shocked if it were more than 20 hp.
Even if its only 15, it was still worth the $300.

"Plus computer tweak" But cams and intake were not 35hp. Were they not putting on the heads as well?

CW, I added the "Computer Tweaks" at the same time as the Cams and intake. I orginally had the computer flash 2 years ago and the dealer overwrote it. When I did the cams/intake swap I sent the computer back to Leach for a re-burn.
Prior to this the trucked pulled 216 hp, with a 72mm TB, 180 tstat, gutted cat and Flowmaster exhaust. When I go back to the dyno in a week or two I'll be able to see what I gained with the Computer tweaks, Cams and intake... again, NOT 35 hp, at least I don't believe so.

CW- I just spent 30 minutes looking for that post and I cant' find it.... I really don't think they were adding the whole HO head.
Matt keep us posted.....
As for 35 hp.... okay. Okay. 15 hp is still pretty good for $300 plus 5 hours labor. When you look at it.

I haven't heard any convincing evidence that the HO heads are any different. But some people claim they are. I bet you could get more results from just cleaning up the bowls in your stock heads..... Bet you can't get HO heads for the money a machine shop will charge you for a good porting job. Or you could do it your own self and really save money.

Message:
I finally found Bernd's original post. I was totally wrong. He did include the heads and there are headers here too, but the hp figure is 58 rwhp!!!! Here:----->>>
HO Cams + HO Heads + HO Intake + Headers + a few small "tweaks" = 58RWHP. Local dealer out here did it on several 4.7L's and they dyno tested them just to see. It works!!
Hmmm...240HP at the crank + (approximately) 70HP at the crank from the HO conversion = 310HP out of the 4.7L. (Hehehehee...5.9's better watch out now.) ;)
<<<<-----
I then posted a few more questions to Bernd and got Jack for a response.
