    Fox throttle body swap questions

    I have looked at every thread I have been able to find on this topic :crazy: For NA apps ... I've never been able to find one with PROVEN gains :( I'm talking HARD DATA :) You see alot of talk about 2 main topics from those who switched 1 throttle response 2 cosmetic looks #1...

    The ultimate SN95 5.0 exhaust thread

    When talking NA LT's can make a difference :) The difference can be felt in the seat of the pants when driving When you compare dyno charts between the two types of headers you can see the low/mid range torque of those combos with LT's almost always betters the shorties It is not...

    How much boost, stock block & internals?

    The limit of the OEM block is usually based upon hp as opposed to boost A rule of thumb is around 450 rwhp and you are in block splitting territory Another thing about boost Its just a measurement of back pressure An example to be able to relate would be :) Stock stang with a...

    The ultimate SN95 5.0 exhaust thread

    I run Mac 1 5/8 LT's, Mac catted mid pipe, & OEM catback :) The headers/mid pipe are 94-95 specific and fit like a glove I won't get into sound as that is subjective but I will address performance for NA applications :D Shorties won't give low/mid range torque like LT's :bang...

    Cam/rocker options

    Some stuff I found from various places :D I have no way to know the type of calibration these were done with :shrug: It is most likely a mix of STD and SAE :( Same kind of thing for type of dyno :shrug: Could be a mix of Dynojet and Mustang :( Never the less ... You can get a ball...

    Cam/rocker options

    I got data about OEM combos showing what they did at the dyno :) It was up here forever but my host site went belly up :( I'll try to get it hosted a bit later this afternoon after I find the file You can see what others have been able to accomplish that have built combos simular to...

    Cam/rocker options

    Honestly ... roller rocker gain over the OEM steel stamped rockers is gonna be teeny tiny :( Even with the larger ratio ... I'd still hold to like close to 5 rwhp 1 and 2 would have to be close to like the OEM Cobra with a bit less 3 and 4 would be like around 15 more 5 would be...

    CAI Necessary?

    CAI's can yield a good gain :banana: but Having one does not always mean a gain will be found :scratch: Like was talked about above :) If it ain't on the outside of the e bay ............ It can't draw in fresh air :bang: Now ... Fresh air don't always mean cool air :D I live in...

    Cam/rocker options

    Since you stress a tight budget ......... Just use your original stuff :) More cams are cut for the 1.6 ratio anyway ;) Besides ... rr's only yield 5 to 10 rwhp and I'd bet the gain is closer to 5 than 10 :( Therefore ... as you said ... NOT a good bang for the buck spent :bang...

    project 94' gt cheap stang'

    You need to look ahead (no pun intended :D) about your head choice I'd do the Typhoon over the oem Cobra if you go with better flowing Aluminum heads I'd do the TFS over the the old school b cam Without a doubt ... LT's over any kind of shorty's Grady
