    Royal Purple oil change intervals (time)

    Oil Forum I'm betting this is where your coworker read that. I've still been using Mobile 1 just because I can't find Amsoil and friends of mine have voiced concerns about excesive valve noise (don't know what that could mean but it scares me) when running RP. I think the deal with Mobile one...

    Max HP for stock injectors.......

    Bah I ran for a long time at 262rwhp on 19lbs'ers. My tuner kept telling me I could run them up to 300rwhp before they can't supply enough, so I'm on 24's now. I think 285-290rwhp is where you want to start thinking about upgrading them.

    Muffler vs. Cat-back Exhaust

    Eh if anyone is interested. When my car was stock there was almost nothingto be gained power wise if I were to have moved to a catback. When I had everything but my cams moving to an after market cat back system was worth about 7rwhp. After I had got my cams the catback was worth almost 15rwhp...

    5.4 question

    I often stick my foot in my mouth but I'm pretty sure 5.4 heads with the exception of navi heads are the exact same thing as 4.6 heads. All you really have to worry about is potential romeo vrs windsor crap like valve covers and flywheels that kinda stuff. Also that whole intake issue.

    4.6 vs 5.0 engine weights

    No it wasn't, I have an aluminum block from a sohc explorer.:nice: it only took one other guy to help me lift that crate to chest hight. But like I said, it might be best to hear from someone that works on these normally. There are things you might not be thinking about. For one thing I had no...

    4.6 vs 5.0 engine weights

    I dunno the 4v's have a lot of hardware on them. the cams and supporting hardware add up. Some one here must work at a shop that sees these engines all the time. I know from swapping my engine I could get a feeling for which one weighed more.

    400hp ideas?

    See, you have to be dead set on goin N/A if your going to change the compression ratio and rebuild or fab an intake manifold. that alone would push me toward a TT stang if I had that kind of change burning a hole in my pocket.

    400hp ideas?

    I think you did everything but go 4v.. you should be making 350rwhp or something close to that.

    dumb question but what's under the hood?

    4.6 vs 5.0 engine weights

    Fully assembled 5.o has 1 cam and smaller heads, at least I think the heads are smaller. sohc modular has 2 cams and larger heads, dohc modular has 4 cams and of course even bigger heads. Modular blocks are friggin huge in comparison because of the 90 degree angle vrs 60 degree's of a 5.0.

    Few Q's: Mustang newcomer (sort of)

    :stupid: There is one on the clutch and the gas pedal, the are mostly plastic and sometimes crack too. Oh, and mine does that too with 4th and reverse, I've thought it might be a bent fork

    400hp ideas?

    Yeah, for people asking this same question for 300rwhp I kind of shrug off the sc crowd but it's kinda hard to ignore in this case. If you were going to stay N/A I'd say dump the 4.6 and start looking at other engines. A 5.4 navi could be found in a junk yard if you look for a while then you...

    Sick and tired of KYB Shocks , struts

    By no means do I have launching down to a science but I think I had one side stiffer than the other by 3-5 settings.

    Sick and tired of KYB Shocks , struts

    I've go those same shocks and struts, the last time I ran I was able to get below 14 with poor shifting. That was before my more serious upgrades.
