    What's the Best N/A Cam?

    Going back, I know of at least 2 VT Stg 2 N/A cam installed cars that had PTV on the get go. Like I have always, said that was due to install. What has been a new thing is that VT Stg 2 N/A cammed cars with Comp springs were floating valves and then having PTV. These owners were blaming the...

    Fresh Off Dyno...Numbers Way Low?!?

    What kind of Dyno-Jet? Were the runs done in Inertia Mode or Load bearing mode? Which correction factor if any was used? And the list goes on...

    What's the Best N/A Cam?

    Nick has some interesting threads at Modular Depot, Modular Fords, Modular Revolution and TCCOA regarding this as well to his FAQ which doesn't go into great detail.

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    I have over 100 passes on the car. It will run 13.4x @ 102.xxx mph at the track I go to consistently. It doesn't matter if it has the JLT CAI or the stock airbox. It will run close to a 13.40 @ 102.6 MPH with stock air box, both of it's 13.39 passes were with the stock air box. It's best is...

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    You should see 20+ RWHP from a good tune that is from a good tuner and no CAI( use stock airbox ). I have a JLT CAI that is considered to be the best CAI for making HP. It has won many of the CAI shootouts in magazines. This past spring, I did some testing at the track with my JLT CAI and...

    What's the Best N/A Cam?

    Nick @ Modular Head Shop( MHS ) has done a lot of research lately and a lot of different cams. He has found some very scary info regarding many of the aftermarket cams. Any cam with more than 230 intake duration installed at 110 intake centerline in PI Heads will have PTV contact. These cams...

    2005+stang owners with the SCT hand held tuners...

    Don't mess with the WOT shift points unless you are planning to change the rear gears. You will need to find a rpm/speed calculator to determine where to set the shift points at.

    p.i. cams in an npi

    It is a noticeable gain... I ran the pressed on sprocket PI cams when I had them... I prefer removing the front cover to install the cams, it is the ONLY way to ensure that your cams are timed correctly. Leaving the cover on, your hoping to hell you didn't skip a tooth...

    Can you swap a 2005+ 5 speed auto transmission in place of the 4R70W????

    The 2005+ Auto Mustangs have a 5R55S transmission. You could probably make it work but is it worth it? The 4R70W is a stronger transmission that will handle more abuse than the 5R55S. You won't much or anything with the 5R55S. I posted this before but here are the gear ratios for both...

    Went to the track tonight; Got some problems/questions

    Locking the TC is an important part of the tune. That was one of my so-so tune issues when my car was running slow. Just for the record, it was not Modular Depot that tuned the car for the TC and 4.30's. I kind of wish I had gone with them for that one... As well, don't get me wrong, you...

    Went to the track tonight; Got some problems/questions

    You don't need a tune for PI Cams or PI Intake( providing you used the RTV or Livernois plates ). I was one of the first to do a PI Cam and PI intake swap, I followed the footsteps of the first person to do( Johnny Langton ). I do think you need a tune for the 4R70W. A good tune means the...

    PI Cam Swap Problems; Please Help

    Personally, I would have pulled the timing cover. If you are 100% sure that the timing chain didn't move when you installed the cams and they are on the marks, you are good. If the chain moved and there is no way to tell if you let the timing cover on, well I wouldn't be 100% sure...

    Finally, a PI Intake to a Non-PI Heads Adaptor Kit!

    Livernois' kit would be okay as they machine the intake so that the injectors are placed in the original spot. Partially the reasoning for the cost. Personally though, what I used the PI gaskets and RTV around the coolant ports. Never had any issues when I ran my car that way or any of the...

    tire suggestions and how many miles did you pirrelli's last?

    No worries, the car is currently parked. I am driving my other car currently. When I start driving the GT again, it will have it's Winter shoes on it. When I buy tires for the GT, it will be General Exlaim UHP. My Corvette buddies are loving that tire and it comes in the 235/55R17 size.

    tire suggestions and how many miles did you pirrelli's last?

    I got 38,000 kilometers out of my stock Pirelli's. I am not really impressed with them about that either. The tires got rotated every 5000 kms and I have had 2 wheel alignment checks done on the car. The tires had 7/32's of rubber when I put them back on this spring. They currently have...

    Spyder Shaft or Dynotech Driveshaft?

    I am not arguing this with you. I KNOW FOR A FACT that STEEDA sold the SPYDERSHAFT as their own. This is FACT! It is possible that they may have stopped selling it and have switched to another one. It is possible that LRP has changed providers as well and that could explain the differences...

    Spyder Shaft or Dynotech Driveshaft?

    Actually it is. Steeda first started selling the LRP Spydershaft, then made arrangements to have it rebadged as their own. This was brought up on another board where reps from Steeda confirmed this...

    Spyder Shaft or Dynotech Driveshaft?

    I have a SpyderShaft on my 05 GT. Dynotech makes good DS's. They didn't have one for the S197 GT's when I was looking. Steeda's aluminum DS is the SpyderShaft...
