    American Thunder Flowmaster. Will it get louder?

    I have flows on my car and it did take a couple of weeks before they kind of kicked in. They're still a little tame when you're tame on the throttle, but they do roar when you kick it in. Works perfect for me in a 'vert.

    Built up 2v, 650hp?

    Yeah, stroke that sucker! Let MPH hook you up with a good stroker/blower setup and those Cobras you're referring to will be lunch. Personally, I'd like to get a stroked DOHC motor. This is what I want! :D Imagine the HP potential with this motor supercharged! :drool: Now, Imagine the HP...

    Police Interceptor Engines

    Here is a link to the Ford Fleet vehicle page for the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. This is another link for information regarding Crown Vic Police Interceptors. The motors are the 4.6 2V SOHC motors and not the Cobra motors. They are rated at 250HP for current interceptors. Dodge is...

    4.6 Intake Manifolds - NPI vs. PI

    I appreciate all the info. A lot I already knew about, some I've learned a few about. I was just commenting about why Ford wouldn't just come out with a NPI fitting manifold that would fit perfectly on the NPI heads that improved HP like the PI manifolds. Now that my 'club' has acquired this...

    4.6 Intake Manifolds - NPI vs. PI

    You are getting some pretty good results without the PI heads. What kind of tires do you use, those launch times look pretty respectable?

    4.6 Intake Manifolds - NPI vs. PI

    Obviously the word is that the PI intake manifolds add substantial HP when installed onto NPI heads/block combination. With all of the problem manifolds that Ford has installed on the 96-98 4.6 motors, seems that Ford (or someone else) would create a replacement manifold available with the PI...

    i'm getting the mongoose kit

    Personally, I do like those ATI Procharger systems though and for me it would be between those or the Kenne Bell units. I know some people running those and making some sick #'s on 2V motors.

    Tire Question

    BFG gForce Sports are also excellent tires if you don't do any winter (snow/ice) weather driving. They grip and handle really well and have a cool looking tread pattern.

    MGW shifter DIY installers

    MGW has excellent instructions and all the items needed to replace the shifter. All you'll need is a socket wrench and 8, 10 & 13mm sockets to perform the swap. I believe the instructions stated that you do not use the stops on the Tremec 3650 but I've got a T5 and had to set mine which wasn't...

    i'm getting the mongoose kit

    Exactly, there's your 500+HP right there! Not gonna touch that with a stock bottom end on any 4.6 2V motor.

    i'm getting the mongoose kit

    Absolutely. 03/04 Cobras only need two very inexpensive items to go from 375-380HP to over 425HP. One is a Hypertech programmer which will give them about 40-45HP just by reprogramming/retiming the motor. Another is a smaller (2.8") supercharger drive pulley to increase boost from stock (8lbs)...

    PI kit, or part by part?

    I've been in the same boat with my '98 for a while and this is my plan for my pig: LT's, Mid-pipe, 75mm TB/Plenum then acquiring a centrifical blower (Procharger). While that's in place, I plan to build a forged PI stroker short block, add some P&P heads w stage II or III cams and either a...

    Suspected intake crak but I'm not sure.

    I just had a leak problem crop up too. Mine's in the front and drips on top of the engine block. :bang: Waiting on that verdict later this week to see what happens. Would like to get this fixed for little or nothing.

    Sean Hyland Motorsports 125HP Kit for 96-98 GTs

    Didn't pay attention that they're in Canada, but that's why I posted it here to get feedback and/or suggestions. Thanks again.

    Sean Hyland Motorsports 125HP Kit for 96-98 GTs

    HERE is a link for the kit. Anyone have any comments or experience with this setup. I've developed the old "Manifold Leak" problem and since manifold is coming off, I figured this would be a good time to replace heads, install the LTs and X pipe (Hookers), and the Acccufab TB/Plenum combo...

    ported NPI > Pi ??

    Okay, so maybe kick ass would be a better term. I know that the stock cams would have to go. I was just wondering if a regular PI intake would be a good match or if one should move up to a Bullitt intake.

    Whats wrong with 3.90's?

    I didn't really say that I liked them better as the 4.10's were really awesome. I just prefer cruising with the 3.73s on the highway than with the 4.10s and that's like 80% of my driving time. Buzzing around town however, I loved the 4.10s much better. It's really a matter of choice. For...

    Which way should i go now.N/a or FI

    Personally, I like the VT w/cams and full exhaust route. That's because when you blow someone away and pull the hood they don't see that KB sitting under there and cry 'foul'. :D You can always add that later when you get spanked of course!
