    Anyone that has dyno tested their car before and after long tubes with basic bolt ons please clear this 20-25 rwhp issue for us.

    I could use some of your expertice

    The rwhp range that I have seen on a na engine when adding long tubes and a x pipe is 13-15. Before the catalytic days no one was getting 25 hp from a 300 hp engine from adding long tubes.

    I could use some of your expertice

    Long tubes are the best way to go but how can so many people justify spending $400+ dollars for mufflers which may give you 5 rwhp tops and then turn around and say that the stock cats flow well and a high flow h pipe is a waste of money. Those stock cats are the most restrictive part of you...

    Gears Upgrade Question

    I would consider carbon fiber clutch packs while you are in there. They also make a heavy duty pinion bearing. You are putting a lot more power to the wheels than stock with a super charger.

    Pictures of 255/45-18 on stock wheels?

    I've seen one person with 275's on his and said he had no problems with walking. I also looked at a Bridgestone pamphlet and the biggest that they recommend is a 255 for our wheel size.

    what good is the hood heat blanket

    Could the fact that the hood is aluminum and the rest of the car is steel have something to do with why there's insulation under the hood. Different metals disperse heat differently. I know one thing for sure. If you take off that insulation and the paint on the hood flakes Ford will not...

    They are 8.5" wide. 255 45 18's will fit well.

    What is the best year to buy from 2005-09?

    If you go with a 2007 or newer you'll have to deal with those tire pressure sensors if you change rims.

    Decisions, decisions, 18's or 20's?

    18's are better than 20's for drag racing.

    Cams or Intake manifold?

    Those stock heads are holding that plenum intake back. With ported heads you'll be in the 11's easy.

    Eibach Pro-System Plus or FRPP Handling Package???....

    Eibachs are 4 way progressive springs which will make your car handle well around turns(road racing) and decrease nose dives. FFRP springs have progressive springs on the front only which means they decrease nose dives but have a specific rate spring on the rear. This means they do not...

    Cams or Intake manifold?

    I don't think you'll go that fast with those cams. Ask Brenspeed if comp cams #127500 will more likely get you where you want to be.

    cam install

    If you have $800 I'd go for the C and L plenum intake manifold with those cams. It's control valve delete built in. If that's too much money I would get the control valve delete plates.

    cam install

    Go to fordspecialtools.com. #303-1046 #303-1175 #303-1039. Also you need 2 new cam phaser bolts. Brenspeed has them.

    509 hp to tires

    I've seen a few posts with stock blocks blowing with 9 psi. Nothing can go wrong with detonation when you're running boost on an engine with the compression that our 3v's have especially in cold weather and in overdrive.

    Finally painted my valve covers...

    Beats $250 for FRPP black valve covers. Plus if you are going to port your heads you can do the timing chain cover to match. Also thinking you can get a machine shop to hot tank them first.

    Cam suggestions

    You have to ask yourself one question. Do you want around 330 rwhp or 350 rwhp? You 're not going to get the latter with nsr cams.
