Delete or Not Delete Cam Phasers on Boosted 19 GT?

[DougS550]

I am just finishing up ordering my whipple Stage 2 Mod stuff and was wondering. Is it of benefit to delete the phaser like some timing chain kits have you do on Boosted Mustangs street driven with between 700-850whp.
Thank You for your help

I'm not deleting mine. They serve a function. I put a brand new set on due to the fact that I have been installing a built engine and the old ones had 47k miles on them. I know you don't NEED to because they are a "life of the vehicle" part but I figured, I am in there, why not? So I got a new set from FRPP. That being said, short answer, I have no interest in deleting them. If it was a track car only, I might, but not on a car that I want "good street manners" from.

Thank you. I went on and ordered the Ford Performance timing chain kit. Thanks

Are you doing this in preparation for your Whipple?

Yes. The Ford Performance timing chain kit, and MMR parts: Huricane Oil Pump assembly, billet segandary chain bracket, billet secondary chain guide, rear head cooling and Oiling Mod kits, Light weight aluminum water pump pulley, QA1 carbon fiber driveshaft and Boomba Racing rear transmission bushing mount, Powerflex rear diff, front and rear bushing kits, and the stage 2 kit with oversized hear exchanger, morimoto thermostatic controlled oil cooler kit. In spring i will buy R888R tires for max grip on the road. So I have my work cut out for me this winter

Definitely keep them. If this was a drag only car it would be a different story but they greatly improve street manners, boosted or not.
