    Blower plus Nitrous on stock internals?

    I dont think most will know the answer to your question because of the newness of the engine and most guesses are based of the 2v 4.6 since it is simular bottom end Most experts agree that the tune is the most important thing. Running 400hp with a bad tune is alot more dangerious than running...

    When running a Zex Kit or mosty any other basic kit that runs off a TPS (activates at WOT) you want to make sure your around 2500-3500 RPM before it activates or engine damage can occur. Since most of these kits are fogger intake system they are fairly easy to install and pretty much easy to...

    2005 Mustang Mods that DON'T void Warranty

    I'm just curious on how higher octane gas will cause burnt pistons. As I understand it the higher the octane the harder it is to burn (less combustable). As for mods I would see how your dealer reacts to mods before doing anything serious like S/C, Nitrious, etc. Such things as, rims...

    Saleen Series IV Blower Install completed Today!!!

    I mean that youll be paying more $$ to get the same # as the procharger kit is making. I totally understand that youll be making it at a lower psi and most likely have a better low end hp/tq curve. In the long run youll be spending more $$. Thats all.
