    Anyone blow up an 05 with boost or Juice?

    They have been blown. All the shops that build them up don't usually like to state all over the internet that they've blown engines. I know of at least 3 that have gone. 2 on the juice, 1 on boost. I don't know the what horsepower they were at, but it was not extreme. These engines aren't...

    CAI non-reflashing required!

    Just go with a X-Calibrator II. You may be able to do what you want to try, but for the cost and what else you can gain with a tuner its better choice. Buy more bolt ons before you put a tune in the car so you dont have to keep retuning the car.

    Converter Question??

    I'm in no way saying thats wrong but could you clarify your reasoning. The reason I don't understand is why would an aftermarket company make a convertor thats not made for WOT. When I bought my first one from them I asked what I'd need and they told me a single disc would be fine and it was...

    Ford Racing Exhaust System???

    I don't know if its the kit you are talking about, but if its the one I heard on a car in person its very quiet. He had a stock mid pipe and it was almost the same as stock. I'd go with magnaflow if you wanted a quieter sounding ehxaust, they have some nice mellower sounding set ups.

    Converter Question??

    I am by no means an expert at convertors, and to be honest barely understand them. To my understanding, they work like a clutch. The more power you want to be able to bite the more you'll need a multi disc. I had a single disc in my car n\a but had to step up to a multi disc with nitrous. I...

    NMRA at 66 ne1 goin

    I made it to the quarter finals in Mod Motor. Sucked to because I lost when we both broke out, me by more. Only way I could have won was to have known he was going to break out and let him beat me to the line. Oh well nothing you can do on a race like that. I won in the second round by...

    Always race with O/D off?

    Your my idle. lol No really though I randomly saw we have some what similar set ups and saw where I could get this thing near. I figure with a 26" I should be able to get near 10.7 this year. Will have to wait till next year to really make the power I'll need to drop below a 10.5. Taller...

    Always race with O/D off?

    I got ya now. Wow thats a scary idea hitting O\D at WOT. Probably not something I'll be trying.

    prefabbed exhaust Or one made by local muffler shop

    Its pretty much a person by person deal. Around here most places suck on labor prices. The V6 would cost more, just was using it as a gauge of what is typical labor cost. If I knew the guy I'd have him do it just to give him the business. Let me know what it ends up costing, just for my own...

    Rear end gear swap changes emissions???

    Never take a dealerships service departments info on performance parts. They are some exceptions, like I work at high performance shop that runs out of a dealership, but thats the abnormal. Most service people now days are R&R people, remove broken piece and replace with new one.

    GT Headers

    Muscle Mustang just compared almost all the axle backs on the market. It told the decibel of the exhaust, cost, and rwhp gains. Whatever you put on match with either an off road H pipe or prochamber and it will be pretty loud and should have a good tone.

    Always race with O/D off?

    Yea sorry to come off all pissy, too many people try to tell me I'm full of $hit. It could be done on stock displacement, a 5speed and turning up the boost a little more. I started putting an intercooler on today, hope to finish tonite and tune in the morning. And if the racing gods fall in...

    Always race with O/D off?

    Sorry I didn't feel like listing my mods. It isn't that far off, I figured when I said most of the fun stuff you could fill in the blanks. Asking my mods to decided if it was possible for me to make the claimed mph = calling b.s.

    GT Headers

    Our shop car with no mufflers is surprisingly quite. It isnt something that I would drive all the time, but with an axle or cat back system would be perfect for my taste. But exhaust sound is a very personal opinion, what I think is great another thinks is complete crap.

    Always race with O/D off?

    Throwing the B.S. flag, asking for a full list of mods, is what I was refering to. It hijacks a thread and thats all I was saying. But to give you the answer you are looking for: Stroked to 5.0 Sutton HP P&P Heads and SVO intake (yes it was port matched to my heads) S-trim with 14lbs...

    Always race with O/D off?

    494rwhp 440rwtq std to answer you question. And please don't start an arguement on my set up being capable or not, it won't help the thread any.

    Always race with O/D off?

    An S Trim (unintercooled at the time) 4.10s, e.t. streets and most of the other fun stuff. Nothing crazy or out of the norm as far as cams, and boost levels. A much simplier set up than most people expect.

    Always race with O/D off?

    I think thats what they meant. Your original question was about dynoing, and mentioned racing thought. There isn't a reason to turn it off on normal driving, then again I don't do 100+ WOT in normal driving. The for turning it off on the dyno is to get a 1:1 gearing. Car must have that on...
