my buddy has one, had some fitment issues. Nothing a grinder couldnt fix though. It is a good weight reduction, especially if you get a good deal on it
i ran the vt 3 blower cams NA for a while, noticed i lost low end, but they were great up top. Install was not too bad, but you have to be careful to degree them and everything
lol i dunno about that air circulation thing, but a vented hood or something to let heat circulate out would have to do something.
I would say get one for looks maybe? or better for underhood clearance
you dont need to get another maf. It would probably cause issues that would outweigh any little benefit you would get at this level.
However, with any mods affecting air volume into the motor a tune is good. The factory tunes are rather conservative. I highly doubt you NEED a tune though.
the auto is nice and consistant, for sure not a downgrade. I would take a built auto drag car to win anyday.
BUT have you tried the dual friction clutches like centerforce? they are NICE
its very doable. takes work, but it will go in just fine. you will also need the wiring for the tranny, bolts for the flywheel/clutch assembly. Mine would not go through and line up with the fidanza for some reason... you will need clutch cable
( buy ford cable only ) and adjuster and...
maybe something happened to the driveshaft balance at the shop?
ive had 410s for a long time and i never noticed anything like that. It sounds like something happened at the install. That would be a big coincidence if not
well if you build the bottom end and do nitrous i think you would be able to get alot more power than you would if you keep the blower and a stock bottom end.
nitrous does work lol, and is cheaper than the blower. Possible to save up for a bottom end and keep the blower? honestly that would...
if you go aftermarket, get the steeda adjuster, cheaper ones without the clicking can work lose and cause problems, lol ask me how i know. also, dont buy any cable except ford. in my experience the others are just not strong for some reason
good headers for the blower, bassani headers are pricy, but those sobs went right in and mated up with the rest of the pipes... i like the sound too. from the couple other i have been involved with the fit is freakin sweet lol
