    difficulty of cam install on a 4.6 2v?

    Just a thought, but wouldn't the stock head be a restriction to a set of aftermarket cams? I'm thinking about a head/cam package, rather then just cams later on down the road when I get her blown :D

    The road to 500 RWP (kinda long)

    Well thats a good reason too! But if she's your daily driver, then reliability, gas mileage etc. should be considered. But I hear ya on the power option.

    KENBELLE 2.2

    Daily driver's don't need 500rwhp. Thats the bottom line. If the only vehicle you own needs to have 500 hp, you need to have your head examined. My reasoning: Simple. If you only have one vehicle, its probably because you can't afford a second one. Not a bad thing because school, a house...

    The road to 500 RWP (kinda long)

    Everytime I see someone ask what can I do to get xxx horsepower, I always ask the question - Why? 500rwhp is nice, but how practical is that? What is your primary goal for your car? I've said it once and I'll say it again, horsepower is great but it doesn't do anything if you can't...

    First Run at the Track

    Most definitely but its not going to happen with the rubber I've got on the rear now. They're just about bald. With a set of slicks, 1.9's and 8's will be easy. I'm just not sure what I'm going to do about what set of rims and slicks to put on there. Plus I need new tires on the rear of the car...

    First Run at the Track

    Thanks :p I wasn't the best at dirt racing but you learn alot about throttle control. Having all the horsepower in the world doesn't help if you can't put it on the ground. My car had a half of tank of fuel in it and my spare tire in the trunk. My friend was like "Dude, you need to shed the...

    Someone with a Tech Manual Please

    Actually I just noticed, why does it say *12v next to each coil by the white/blue wires? (on the diagram)

    Someone with a Tech Manual Please

    Thanks alot man. I knew someone would probably know, but I was looking for exactly what he posted up! A diagram! I don't have a tech pub yet, my local auto shop ordered one for me. But I have this MSD Distributor-less Tach driver so I can use an aftermarket tach w/shift lift. (don't worry the...

    Someone with a Tech Manual Please

    Can someone with a Tech manual please look up under ignition system, coils. Which colored wire supplies the 12volt power for the coil ignition on the #7 cyl. I believe it is number 7. I'm not looking at the engine, so I forget how the cyl. are numbered, but its the last coil on the drivers side...

    new best ET. now what's next?

    Sad sad sad :nonono: I watched a Cobra last night, an '04 at the track. His best time was 14.4. I ran a 13.8 with my stang and I ain't got crap done to it. Driver driver driver!!! You can have all the horsepower in the world, but if you can't drive, you're not going anywhere fast.

    First Run at the Track

    Those times shouldn't have to be corrected. Acto is pretty much at sea level. Its pretty close to the beach. My first run I shifted to 4th before the traps, but after that I finished in third turning about 5800. The only reason why I didn't shift to third was I felt that 4th gear, with the stock...

    First Run at the Track

    And also the headlight trick is good if you remove your stock air silencer (the rubber boot) and remove your air filter. When I took off my stock silencer, it felt like the engine came alive more. I didn't have to remove my headlight cause I got Ram Air :D My friend swears that I have...

    First Run at the Track

    I don't know what happened to the car that crashed. I got tired of waiting so I left. " My best is a 14.4. And I shift at redline " Thats your problem right there. I've looked at many Dyno's of the GT's stock, your power drops off just before redline. So I shifted at 5500rpm on the ball...

    First Run at the Track

    Thanks. My first run was horrible because of all the wheel spin I got, but I still pulled a decent 14.3, so I knew there was hope if I could hook up. So I switched lanes and that lane was alot nicer. No way to avoid the burnout box ( Atco Raceway in NJ ), so I did some nice smokey ones and my...

    First Run at the Track

    Tonight was my first time at the track with my Stang. Temps were in the low 50s at the start and high 40s near the end. I admit I babied the car quite a bit the first two runs. I was affraid to break something. My first run was in the left lane, the track was prepped HORRIBLY in that lane! I...

    Damn....you're killing me. I wish I could afford one. I want to get BLOWN!!! :D

    stroked 2v or jegs 4v swap?

    Dude, I would totally go with the 4V Cobra setup from Jegs. That is an insane price! And like you said, it's all complete. You won't have to worry about putting anything old back in the car. The whole drivetrain is new. And the new Cobra's have SC on them, so why not SC that 4v? I think you'd be...

    Air Silencer Removal

    Well we were supposed to leave at 6:00pm EST, but now its friggin rainin!! It was only supposed to be scattered light drizzle, 30% chance. Well its pouring outside now! Go figure! Anyway I took the air silencer out and its loud under the hood. Feels like an animal under acceleration. I can't...

    Air Silencer Removal

    I'm going to remove my stock air silencer. Any benefits to that? I have the shaker kit, so I shouldn't really have much of a restriction on the intake side, but I'm going to take the silencer out anyway since its useless. I'm heading to the track tonight for the first time, so any little...
