    Going shopping, need brands

    VT stage 2 cams are a good grind and along with any stage 2 or 3 ported head and a few other bolt ons the car will peak a good bit over 300 rwhp and it will be a good midrange to high end powerband:nice: Just make sure you raise the rev lmiter cause those cams are still pulling when the stock...

    Need some advice...

    I would use the pullys and seel the adjuster and get a custom tune. with the set you have it looks like that would most benifit you and then no worrys. BTW i just want to say that car looks sweet as hell with that color mixture man:nice:

    stage II PI heads ?'s

    The car will run with stock cams and stage 2 heads but regardless you may need a tune so if you have an extra $600 I would go with a set of stage 2 cams. Someone already said it best, "you cant take full advantage of the airflow!" Do that and it will still be a normal daily driver but you will...

    Stock 2v shortblock, pretty impressive

    That Black Saleen is pretty sweet and I heard from the the guys that tune at fastlane and numerous people that go up there that that car has bone stock internals and I that it has been running #s like that for at least three years track and street. Dont know for sure but with #s like that...

    4.6l out of a thunderbird in a stang?

    If the block is still good order a new rotating assembly if money permits you. The non PI motor will be a huge loss of power too:notnice:

With the VT II cams The car runs strong! Just got done with the swap today and I think when I get a...

    Swapping a 03 engine into a 96 GT

    Good call. Your motor is definately a PI motor and with new exhoust manifolds the stock exhaust should work I belive. Clutch will work to and tranny will bolt up.

I was just wondering if anyone knows anyone that is good with a anderson ford pms or has a simalar setup or any ideas in general for tuning. it idles ok i guess (doesnt die) but...

    compression test results

    I thought so bud. It seems #8 is common. It shouldnt be to bad and if you want any advise I have had to fix the exact same problem. You will spend more in gaskets provided the valves in that cylinder is all you have to replace. I will start my car tomm for the first time with the stage 2 heads...

    just looking for thoughts....

    I really hate to say it and i have been wrong before but it sounds like a bent valve. :( I have had one before and that sounds extremely simalar. The clearence in these motors is so little that if a valve is ever so slightly bent it will tap the piston aka PTVC. My case hapened to be I over...

Just throwin it out there, If someone has a simalar setup and tunes with the Anderson Ford Motorsports PMS Do you have any ideas for a tune to get the car to the dyno. I was gonna retard the timing about 2-3 degrees But play it by ear...

    newb with head/cam questions

    My advise would be to pull off the head first and make sure that it is a bent valve(which more often than not seems to be the problem with these cars)Sorry backtrack do a compression check on the side that you think it is coming from. Then if you have to pull the head and look over the head...

    T-TRIM too big?

    I watched chris drive his car that night too and the temp was pretty damn cold. The track that we were at does have terrible preperation before test and tune and is known to up your time by around .3 because of traction problems and thats about what anyone who has ever raced out there will...

    How To Launch A Stang Correctly

    Also remember the 195 20zr 13s. You will need rubber like that to keep you from wheel hopping of the line. :rlaugh:

    different bhp for 4.6's -why?

    Look dude im not trying to be a dick or nothing but the valves are so different in size that you can see it. Look around for pictures because I have seen one on here before that showed the size difference and that was obvious to the human eye. Those #s are off. PI heads really brought the sohc...

    I'm really pissed off about these UPR clutch cables

    All aftermarket cables I have ever seen including steeda, UPR, BBK, have been complained about one too many times for me to spend more money on than just buying a stock one. I have always been told that they are the strongest and with a stiff ass pressure plate for 65,000 mine has yet to look a...
