    Good point Greg. Lotta power probably lost at those temps.

    drag radials

    What he said. I have been in line at the track with people with near bald BFG's and asked about them and was told they only had 3 - 4000 miles on them. But, they are supposed to grip better. You probably don't have to heat them up so much though with a long burnout like I think you do with the...

    Nitto Drag radials times not so good?????

    I would think that since you are not supercharged you would power brake as much as you can, and then nail it to the floor at launch. Even with my blower (I am auto also), that is what I do because at the track there is so much rubber built up, you should grip very well. I think I am only...

    ford racing stainless shorty headers any good???

    ryan02stang is right. For the trouble they are to install on a 4.6, and the negligible power gain, they almost fall into the "waste of time" category. Go long tubes. Just my 2 pennies.

    Need Help, 60 ft. times

    I too would appreciate some help with 60' times. Sticky tires are an obvious thing, but I am talking about suspension mods. What can you add or change that has a direct and certain impact on getting better 60' times???????

    Anyone decided on Crower Cams??

    Looks like everyone has decided between Comp or VT....maybe a few bought Hyland....I am curious why no one has mentioned Crower for the 4.6. :shrug: They have an excellent long lived reputation and have some very good-looking cam specs for the NPI motors anyway. The stage 2 listed for...

    Cobra Killer...you out there? Stage I question.

    Is the reason that the VT cams won't work in the NPI heads due to the higher lift they have? That is one thing I noticed when looking at their specs was the lift profile of those cams. Appartently the Comp Cams for the PI heads can be used in the NPI heads with some work on the guides to obtain...

    PI cam swap on a 98Gt

    Morris t/c-3500rpm These must make as much differance as I have read that they do. Congrats on a nice run. A 12 second street car is alot of fun to drive. My problem always has been that 60' time. And, I apologize to all for drifting off the thread.

    What type of tranny fluid do you use?

    That Mobil 1 synthetic ATF sounds like a good thing. I doubt its on the shelf at the local Wally World......anybody know where to get it?

    PI cam swap on a 98Gt

    What are you running now then cause I find it hard to believe that 3800lb T-Bird went high 12's on a 4.6 auto without a huffer.

    PI cam swap on a 98Gt

    Can anyone relay the nuts and bolts of doing this cam swap (just a few pointers)? I have only done this on an overhead valve motor. Is there a good manual to use that walks you thru it, or are you guys just natural gearheads and figure this stuff out as you go? I would think this would be quite...

    PI cam swap on a 98Gt

    So from what I am getting out of all of this, the Comp cams alone, with no head porting or polishing is giving immpressive results on the 96 - 98 NPI heads......is that right? To me immpressive would be 25 - 35 RWHP on a non-supercharged car. I think that is what Comp and Crane are touting, but...

    98GT Fuel Pump Change To 255LPH

    Thanks much for the reply. There is a link on the net I found about the very modification you are talking about. It was on a 98 V-6 car. Wasn't sure if they used the same pump canister, but it sounds like they do. Apparently that is what I will have to do.

    98GT Fuel Pump Change To 255LPH

    I can't believe there isn't any knowledge or interest in this subject. Have any of you guys done a fuel pump change, even if not on a 98? It would help to maybe at least get the name of a place that deals with Walbro that has good customer service and I could talk to them. Anything you guys can...

    Allen supercharger safe at 9 psi??

    I replied to this thread, but its not showing up for some reason so here goes again. There is no issue with running the 9psi pulley. I have for well over a year on the 9psi option with no problems. My complaint with Allen was how conservative their tune was on the chip that comes with the 9PSI...

    Automatic Transmission

    Whewww!.....thats alot to ask of an automatic. I figured mine will bite the dust sooner rather than later after head work and cams which should put my 98 around 350 to 375rwhp.

    Widest tires on OEM's

    I had 285 BFG's put on 9 inch Cobra R's, but it took 2 shops to do it. The local Goodyear dealer couldn't get the bead to seat, then the next shop used 90psi of air pressure to do it (not safe and pretty stupid, but it worked). The Tire Rack told me they put this package together all the time...

    98GT Fuel Pump Change To 255LPH

    Has No One Dealt With This?98GT Fuel Pump Change To 255LPH :bang: I apologize if this has been beat to death, but its been tuff to find advise on this one. I want to go to a Walbro 255lph High Pressure pump and do away with the add-on inline pump that was added to supply my blower. Its got...
