whats up guys. well it looks like im 100% sure now that im going with thumper ported e7's and tmoss ported lower. it wasn't my decision to go with these parts but im just happy my dad let me get the stang and is letting me modify it in the first place. the deal is if i wanna modify it i gotta keep it as stock as possible for reliability issues. i think it will be a very fun project though and i know i wont be disappointed at all with the new combo. also i think it's cool this car will be more of a sleeper then anything. my ultimate goal is keeping the car the same way it looks now and be able to bust off consistent low low 13's and then high 12s with practice and traction.
the reason i started this thread is i got a few more questions to ask mike and tom, and i feel some of the questions may be of intrest to other ppl as well. also id like to help advertise/promote these 2 guys who have worked really hard to help people on a budget modify their 5.0 mustang.
now for the questions my dad and i have before we order these parts:
1. after doing a crap load of research here on corral and stangnet ive came to a conclusion that the comp cams XE270H-R w/ the 112 lsa (.512/.512 and 218/224) would be one of the best OTS cams to run with this combo. my question is, is this true? i've read that comp cams have faster ramp rates and more aggressive lobes than other OTS cams. i took that into consideration when picking out this cam also.
2. if i go with that cam what brand 1.6 rockers do i get? ive herd good and bad things from every single rocker brand out there. im so confused on which ones to get, but im opting towards ford.
3. will the tmoss intake stop making power before the cam, and will this create an unbalanced combo? would it be noticeably better to do an explorer/cobra intake?
thats all for now, im sure more questions will pop up later.
