    help me pick my cams

    If the motor is out of the car then there is no sense in limiting yourself to a stage one cam when you can install a good set of springs and run a decent stage 2 cam. I do think that MHS can set you up with a good cam though, and wouldn't put hitecs on even if they were free.

    Vortech Power Cooler on Novi 2000

    I ran that combo for three years. They don't line up perfectly, but you can make it work with some "gentle"" nudging. All kidding aside, it takes a little bit of elbow grease and some cussing but you can get a section of silicone tubing on the discharge tube on the blower to line up with the...

    Heads and Cams opinions

    Stock, NPI outflows PI very SLIGHTLY above .500. But below that the PI flows significantly more.

    Heads and Cams opinions

    NPI heads can handle much more aggressive ICL than pi and it allows for smaller LSA's as well. As far as Intake flow numbers in ported form, I have and continue to hear conflicting claims. In reality, max flow is a pretty useless number. A competent combination of flow and velocity is much...

    Heads and Cams opinions

    I am thinking trick flows heads and their stage 2 cams. Hot rod just did a junkyard jewel article about a H/C/I swap. They claim 453 HP on an engine dyno. If the parts in their list are accurate, they used the wrong size sparkplugs and lost power from lowering compression and less than ideal...

    cams and nitrous

    Also with a lot of overlap, you are blowing X amount of your Y HP shot straight out the exhaust.

    Battery Drain - How to I trace?

    Just out of curiosity, how old is the battery? If its past 5 years, it may simply be going bad and it needs to be replaced. Some models are only good for three.

    BBK shorty header install...

    Spintech mufflers will definitely set you apart bigtime. Pro streets are the ones for a daily driver IMHO.

    BBK shorty header install...

    As far as FI is concerned, scavenging from longtubes combined with exhaust cam profile is even more important FI than in NA. Read the article MM&FF did on a longtube header install on a Ford GT, I think it was in the last year or so. They gained over 100hp by doing nothing but swapping to...

    My 4.6 pony needs SERIOUS help!

    Your grommet being damaged is not going to cause these problems. Its either a misfire due to spark loss or an ignition timing problem, and since you have already changed your plugs, plug wires and coil packs that eliminates the misfire as being a result of lack of spark leaving you only with...

    Has anyone swapped a Cobra T-45 into a GT 1997?

    I am almost positive you need to either swap the gt tailshaft over or swap in a cobra crossmember. It doesn't matter which so long as you do one of them.

    N/A 4.6

    Yes, it is only 281CID, and naturally aspirated, that means you are limited on torque production. If your heads simply outflow your engine over a majority of the operating range. Yes, RPM will allow you to build more power, but so you really want to spin to 8000? Displacement is the only way...

    N/A 4.6

    If you want to stay 2v, trick flow heads with a bowl job on a Boss 5.0 block + stroker will make a lot more power than a 5.4. If you want to go 4V, a set of ported GT500 heads on that same shorblock will support over 500 HP easily.

    What size tire do i run?!?!? please help

    This post is a little off topic so I apologize in advance, I just wanted to offer a different idea. If you are worried about going beyond your power band, why not extend it with a set cams? Not only do you shift your entire power band into your operating range but your post peak power will...

    bbk shorty x-pipe

    I say get yourself a set of BBK longtubes and call it good. Those shorty headers are not really contributing at all.

    typical cam problems

    Why would you need to wait until 1000 miles to get a tune? With the special coatings applied to modern engine components, there is no need to do extended break-ins. Even piston rings seat the first time you hit it on the dyno these days. Comp recommends about 10 minutes of idle before the cam...

    2001 gt five speed?

    You should be able to find a salvage T45 for far less than the cost of a rebuild. And they are very small, tough trannies. They weigh nowhere near 200 pounds. I would be shocked if they were over 100 pounds.

    97 GT 5 speed will not go in to any forward gears

    Lots of T-45's out there for very little used and reasonable modified. Check the classified's here and/or do a google search. Good luck.
