[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 16613322, member: 39344"] How many miles on the car? Any maintenance records? Dealer used car or private sale? Also, put spark plugs on that list of items to check....06 models have the "killer" 2 piece projected tip spark plugs. Never used the Ford Performance kit. I worked on a few F150's and an Expedition with the Livernois lockout kit(which is extremely nice BTW). We usually just used OE parts counter stuff as they didnt have a full phaser kit at the time even from OE/Motorcraft. Warranty also wouldnt let you replace both sides unless both banks tested bad which was unusual. Other times it would wipe a camshaft and then a motor replacement was cheaper for the customer. The biggest issue is the screens on the phaser mounting blocks bolted to the front of the head or the actual phaser solenoid getting clogged with trash. If you change the oil regularly and use a quality oil filter you shouldnt have to worry about phaser issues(unless its an early 05-06 model). The redesigned phaser solenoids went into effect at the end of 2006 when the new cylinder head was being phased in. Is there something wrong with your car now or you just going to do preventive maintenance? Oh and i highly suggest hot rod cams if your wife wants that sound. They are insanely good, make great power on stock heads and have very good driveability. I made 360whp with full bolt ons, ported heads and some NSR cams(which were not big enough) on my 2005 GT. Had i gone with the Hot Rod cams i believe i could have picked up another 15-20whp. The NSR cams just were too small for the combination i had. Either way, it was enough to put me neck and neck with a 2013 Boss 302 due to the weight difference of my car to my friends car. If there isnt a care about them then id go with lockouts from Livernois and get the corresponding tune. Never have to worry about them again without any real downsides. [/QUOTE]
