I’m learning as I go and you guys have been like a Mustang encyclopedia for me. Thank you, truly. Now I need some help evaluating this combo available at Brothers Performance in Corona, CA for about $2500. This is the combo: Edelbrock Aluminum cylinder heads Crane 2040 Cam Edelbrock Performer Manifold Crane 1.7 Cobra roller rocker arms BBK 1-5/8” Equal length headers BBK 70mm throttle body BBK 70mm EGR plate Pro M 75mm Mass air sensor Motorsport Lower intake gasket kit What I’d like to know is what you think of the combo, is it worth the money, and what kind of HP increase I might see with it. My goal is to have around 300 horses in a daily driver, naturally aspirated, with plans to mildly supercharge (5-6psi) sometime in the future. FYI, these are my current mods in my 1990GT. The motor is has about 100k miles on it but is still strong. I do plan to do a compression check on it in the near future.: Ford motorsport pulleys Moroso cold air intake Centerforce dual friction clutch Pro5.0 shifter w/Kona handle Ford motorsport 4:10 gears KYB shocks & Struts BBK lowering springs Flowmaster mufflers Thanks in advance guys.
300rwhp is very possible with a setup like that.. i will have a similar setup in about 3 weeks and i will be very disapointed if i dont come close or exceed 300 at the wheels
I think 280-300 rwhp is very possible. Not a bad deal for 2500, but then you might wanna look into some bigger injectors, like 24's.
Are they doing the wok for you? If so then it is definitely worth the $, still a good buy if they don't! I think you will push around 285-305 to the wheels!
Thanks again for your responses...My next question is with this particular setup, would 24lb injectors be necessary or beneficial or both?
Well, to get horsepower, you need fuel. The stock 19# injectors will work but don't expect 300 to the wheels with them. 24's will definitly be very beneficial.
Price seems too high. Do a price comparo with Summit and you should save at least $300. Brothers prices suck. for power, 300 or so and the 19's will be fine up to around 325 with enough fuel, then you'll want to look into 24's Jamie
I've decided to go a slightly different route. Since I'm basically rebuilding the top of the motor, I'm going to rebuild the bottom as well and throw in a CHP 347 stroker. Will these same mods be optimum with the stroked motor?: Edelbrock Aluminum cylinder heads Crane 2040 Cam Edelbrock Performer Manifold Crane 1.7 Cobra roller rocker arms BBK 1-5/8” Equal length headers BBK 70mm throttle body BBK 70mm EGR plate Pro M 75mm Mass air sensor Motorsport Lower intake gasket kit I believe at least the cam might have to change for optimum performace and I'm sure I'd need at least 24# injectors, but, again, your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
Ok if your going to go with a 347 then the heads, and exhaus are not good for this. I have been doing so much research for a 331, I was told to go with The AFRs 205 or the AFR 185. and the exahust should be bigger also. 205 heads require a header of about 1-7/8" diameter and a wider bolt pattern to see best results. As far as the INtake I would go with the Edelbrock RPM II intake it is the hottest thing right now. Be expected to wait about 4 months for this intake, that is how back order they are. Injectors I would think should be over 30#s. 30s being the smallest and go with a custom cam.
