    Theoretical Question

    A couple of questions: 1) Do you drive a lot on the highway? If you do, you probably want to reconsider 4.30's. As for 4.30's being too much for a NPI auto, I have 4.30's in my 96 TBird and have ran them for over 4 years. When I put them in my car, all I had for mods was a custom dual...

    Mustang dyno vs. Dynojet

    A few points: 1) DynoJet's have the ability to do load bearing mode or Inertia mode for determing the RWHP of a vehicle. Load bearing mode is the same way that a Mustang Dyno determines RWHP. DynoJet's have had that ability for quite a few years and those that don't, it is an upgrade the...

    power gains going from blower cams to N/a cams in N/a setup?

    You already have a great N/A cam to begin with, you likely won't see a gain at all, most likely a loss with another Stg 2 cam.

    NPI 4.6 camshafts

    You remembered wrong. All NPI engines have the bolt on gears. The only engines that had the press on gears with the 99 - 01 Windsor PI engines...

    Trickflow Dyno results!

    Not to be the Devil's Advocate, but why are the original numbers so low for the combo? That original combo should be in the 320 - 330 RWHP range. The only thing I can come with is that the original setup, the cams were timed retarded a few degrees to ensure PTV contact did not happen. That...

    Trick Flow 2V N/A 408hp on Horse Power T.V.

    Ed, I am well aware of what these heads are at. I knew they existed before the thread on Mod Fords. I was on Modular Depot's list to get these. I am also aware where some of the shops are at with these heads P&P wise. I am one of the people that has been pushing on what these heads will do...

    Trick Flow 2V N/A 408hp on Horse Power T.V.

    I understand that there is more to the head than CFM, actually if you have read any of my previous tech posts, I mention that. From what I have heard, and I have talked to the 3 shops that had test heads of the new TF heads. All of them would rather use the 3V head for a project compared to...

    Anybody running Mickey Thompsons on a 17" rim?

    I run Mickey Thompson( MT ) ET Street Slicks on my 05 GT, 26x11.5x17 and I used to run the ET Street Radials. Having used or seen many of the drag radials out there, I would go with M&H Drag radial tires. They have 3 sizes, 275/50R17, or 325/45R17 or 390/40R17. If you are willing to try a...

    Trick Flow 2V N/A 408hp on Horse Power T.V.

    I didn't say the 3V heads were stock, I referenced P&P 3V heads. BBR Stg 3 P&P 3V heads: Intake Lift----Stock CFM------CNC Porting CFM .100-----77.1--------------75.3 .200----147.0-------------162.0 .300----199.6-------------228.3 .400----216.0-------------273.8...

    Trick Flow 2V N/A 408hp on Horse Power T.V.

    The biggest issue with the modular engine is it's Bore spacing. Adding a longer stroke does nothing but add some low end torque and run out of breath quicker. The 5.4L is a stroked 4.6L with a different engine block that is designed for the longer stroke. These heads will help a little but...

    Trick Flow 2V N/A 408hp on Horse Power T.V.

    The 4.6L are but the N/A 5.4L 2V haven't hit 300 RWHP yet. There is lots that have tried... The correction I made is correct... Ported 3V heads flow more than these new TF heads ported do. 4.6L 3V engines with ported 3V heads make considerably more power than equal 5.4 3V engines with...

    Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads Cams and Intake NA Dyno Results

    It is becoming very obvious as to why your car is not making any power for the mods you have and why it is so slow @ the track. You are reminding me of Chicken Little and that the sky is falling story. I am not looking for them, but I know of more documented failed Cobra Crankshafts than the...

    Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads Cams and Intake NA Dyno Results

    Really... Balancing the rotating assembly properly, the stock crank will live at a higher RPM than 7K. Ken B( Owner of Modular Depot ) used to spin his stock crank over 8000 RPM with no issues in his N/A 2V engine. He is one of many that have done so with no issue. It seems to me that you...

    Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads Cams and Intake NA Dyno Results

    Just to add what I posted earlier. BBR is one of 3 vendors I know that has achieved 400+ RWHP N/A with a stock 3V shortblock using ported 3V heads. BBR has built the most powerful 4.6L N/A 3V I know of, it is 284 CI 3V that has achieved 427 RWHP. There is a couple of other engine...

    Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads Cams and Intake NA Dyno Results

    You are not looking very hard. There is quite a few bolt on S197 GT's pushing 390 RWHP N/A with the stock short block and a few over 400 RWHP N/A with the stock short block and bolt-ons. A dyno queen or race car, 4V heads are where it is at. A fully built 4V will make more HP than a fully...

    Has anyone here dealt with these places?

    I bought my SLP LoudMouth Axleback for my 2005 Mustang GT from LMPerformance. They were good to deal with.

    Who makes the best winter tires for ponys?

    When I looked this past winter for mine. Tire Racks #1 Performance Winter Tire was and still is the Michelin X-Ice Xi2( I just checked ). On top of that, Canadian Driver Magazine this past winter did a test with a Volvo to find the best Winter tire. The Michelin X-Ice Xi2 dethroned the...
