    Superchargeing the 2v 4.6

    Look at my sig and see what it took to make 400whp on the dyno jet where I got dynoed. Some articles (magazine) tune too close to the razors edge of detonation to make the results impressive and different dynos will give different results. I might make 420whp on a different dyno and different...

    Will 36lb/hr injectors be enough?

    I agree completely.

    Surpassing the 400rwhp mark using stock internals

    The author of the article in question was speaking from his experience with several project cars in which made well over 400whp on a stock bottom end. Project icebox 540whp on stock internals (daily driven) just for one example. I would not want to go past 450whp on a car I rely on for daily...

    Maf?

    OEM is a good unit and will support 400hp (obviously in a blown car in most cases), but when is more power ever a thumbs down ? My a/f was 12.5:1 when using the c&l meter. I had no tuner and a steeda timing adjuster set at 14*. Most guys that are n/a and don't have the money for a blower setup...

    Maf?

    I saw modest gains on the dyno using a c&l maf on my gt when it was n/a. You have to use the c&l inlet pipe too to avoid check engine lights (More flow then stock units). I would expect 5-7 whp.

    How much $$ for tranny rebuild?

    I agree with Tim. You can get a new t-45 for 1K. Rebuild dosn't make sense unless you are an experienced tech to do it yourself. If you have the extra cash, get the TKO if you want the best.

    Anyone have problems with Mr. Freeze kit?

    Everybody with mr freeze be carefull to put the fill plug back in properly. I just had a mishap in which I lost the fill plug because I accidentally locked it down wrong way. It shot out when the car was boosted, but luckily I check everything after every hard run. I never heard any detonation...

    swapping pulleyon my V2-Sq got ??

    No pulley remover needed. Simply remove the bolt while the belt is still on, remove the belt off the alt and slide off the old pulley, and slide on the new one. Be careful not to drop the key when you slide them on and off. I also put a small drop of medium strength thread locker on the bolt...

    swapping pulleyon my V2-Sq got ??

    What pulley do you have now ? Do you have an intercooler ? If you still have the stock 3.6 pulley, a 3.3 is a big jump in boost. The 3.3 pulley with a power pipe and no intercooler will make 12-14lbs of boost and will definitely require a dyno tune to be safe. The steeda tune is ok for small...

    Mr. Freeze bottle mounting issue

    I made a bracket to attach mine to the power steering resevoir bracket. Go to the hardware store and buy a small L bracket and bend it into the shape you need it. Then drill a hole on each end. I don't know if you have the same room in that spot for the assembly as an 01, but I bet you can find...

    Having The Stang Dyno Tuned

    You can also have him set up a two step rev limiter for launch if you know at what rpm you would launch at.

    Steed sport Springs?

    I had the sport springs with tokico adjustable drag struts set on 3. I still have the struts and the rear sport springs but the front springs were replaced with street/strip coilovers due to the aje tubular k member and a arms. The car handles much better then stock and the ride is not bouncy or...

    need more power

    You need a built motor (3K + install), ported heads (1.5k install with motor), blower cams (600 install with heads), custom tuning (300-500), bigger injectors and pumps (depending on the setup 1-2k with install), You might be able to make 600rwhp with what you have and the above if you run 16...

    Swaybar with coilovers??

    You should keep your swaybar no matter what setup unless you don't care about going around turns. If it is mainly a drag car and you don't mind taking it easy around turns then you can take it off. Coilovers do not make up for a missing swaybar. The swaybar performs a much different job then the...

    SCT Xcalibrator 2 Problems Help!

    Try and put the stock program back in, then reload the tune back in. If this dosn't help, you need to contact whoever tuned the flasher to fix it.

    Too many possiblilities without looking the car over in person and looking at the data log info from the dyno session.

    idle problem

    I have an accufab 70mm and mine did the same crap. If you have an accufab, take it back off and turn it upside down. If there is a screw on the bottom of the tb then screw it all the way in. I was told to do this by accufab and it fixed my problem. If it is not an accufab or there is no screw...
