CJ Intake and Cam Install Article

[VoodooBoss]

Below is a link to a good article about a CJ intake and cam install. For those wondering I confirmed the baseline number is with the headers so the gain is with the intake and cams. With bolt-ons that's almost 80 HP in total. While a bit expensive you gotta pay to have the ultimate Boss motor. If I did this I'd upgrade the valve springs too.

I love the CJ intake even with my puny GT cams, springs and valves. My plan is a factory 2015+ crate motor to get upgrade when needed. I think this will be cheaper and offer improvements over current setup i.e. = to Boss performance. I will be observing service parts cost over the next few months.
Rick, what spring upgrades are out there? I haven't seen many specs given for the "Unicorn Roush" springs, or any other manufacturer. I thought the race teams use the springs listed in the FRPP catalog

Update 2015 Parts illustrations have appeared in the Fordparts.com catalog. No prices but things are showing up.

I'm not sure which are the best springs to use but giving a call to one of the race teams like Rehagan should provide an answer. I talked with a company at SEMA last year and they had a spring and knew about the limitations with the stock springs, I cannot remember their name but Paul knew them. For 8,000+ RPM's an upgrade is in order.

If i go down the rebuild/new build route ill probably go this way
