hulk xr6t Member 160 Member For: 17y 7m 4d Posted 07/03/08 01:10 AM Share Posted 07/03/08 01:10 AM People are still changing these valve springs as well. I think they are better but still not as good as the after market valve springs.

The BFs are easier to detect the edit.The other differences are largely cosmetic, until later BFs that have better rods and valvesprings like the F6.Just on that note - here you say that the BF's are easier to detect an edit - so you saying that if FORD at a service hook the car up to their computers that there is a good chance they wotn see the car has had its computer modified??Because the only reason I havent gone out and purchased an edit is that im under the impression that when they hook a computer up to the BF's it will stick out like dog balls that its been modified?
