Its easy, I did a DOHC conversion on my GT. Call up your closest pep boys and ask for Piston Return Springs and also for Titanium Camshaft Pulleys for a 99+ Mustang GT. Also pickup some synthetic cam shaft fluid so you can handle the new strain. It'll cost around $150 total but its totally worth it. The camshaft pulleys turn the cam extra fast so it still operates as effeciently as the DOHC design. The piston return springs will keep the pistons in sync. The cam fluid will handle the new heat. I dynoed 310 rwhp with this setup, damn fast. You may also need to polish your intake down so that it can help with more airflow. I bought a bag of sand from home depot, removed the air intake filter and attached the bag of sand, then ran the car for 15 or 20 minutes. The sandblasting smoothed out the intake very well!

Uhhh from what i was always told you dont take off you cai/filter because the smallest amount of dirt will be like adding 100k miles to your engine.

So um, who is this dude? I wanna talk to him.

This guy told me once that we could run some kerosene through the motor in place of the oil (for a few minutes) to clean it really well. I have heard of this and some other people have too, but I would think if your not carefull - there will be Exploding results.
