    Plenum or Throttle Body?

    I need to get the rear work done. I'm just afraid of twisting a 28 spline axle with some sticky tires. I'm also waiting on getting the KB kit. Matt

    Plenum or Throttle Body?

    Hey, he asked for info, I gave him the link. I didn't say it was me. There are alot of pics in that article, and I thought that it would help. Although I'm not a track whore, I have been. Last month at LTI night at the Motorplex we were rained out. Be-atch! Matt

    lose horsepower with h-pipe

    I was amazed at the gain after my exhaust mod. I dyno-d about 23 rwhp gain and 20 rwtq gain (peak). At nowhere did I lose torque. The torque curve was about 10-20 lb-ft above the stock dyno the whole rpm range. My 03 must be different than your 98. I don't know why this myth continues...

    lose horsepower with h-pipe

    Ok, I have seen some posts saying that you "might" or "will" lose some low end torque with an exhaust upgrade. YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY LOW END TORQUE! PERIOD! I have seen several combinations dynod, and I have NEVER seen anything but a substantial gain. See sig. Any questions? Matt

    4.6L transplanted into a Shelby Cobra 427 S/C

    Factory Five is cheap because of the inferior quality. I was looking at buying a replica a few years back, and I found an article that actually tore the Factory Five car apart. They said that it was one of the worst produced fiberglass bodies that they had ever seen. Just go to...

    Remember guys, that's about 423 crank HP out of a 281 CI Modular! :hail2: This power is going through an abused 5speed, so he might be making even more than that. Matt

    Do you have U/D pullies?? Any problems?

    I work in Ft. Worth. I have had NO issues WHATSOEVER with the pullies and they've been on through a summer/winter cycle. The guages set exactly where they did with the old pulleys. I dyno-d a 6 RWHP 6 RWTQ gain with them. Matt

    Proven Mod's

    You can most definately get HP w/ the TA and premium fuel. I didn't want to do it because I knew eventually I would go SC and the timing would be done w/ a chip. Matt

    Yokohama AVS ES100

    I have the 275/40s mounted on 03 Cobra wheels and love them. They are great in the rain, and solid in the corners. I have some twisty roads to/from my house and I love feeling them grip. I have about 7k miles on them and they look pretty much like new. I paid $135 mounted and balanced...

    Did You lose bottom end when u put a intake on???

    I personally can't tell anything in that range. Hopefully you don't spend very much time there so you won't feel that your investment is a total loss. 1500-2000 rpm is just a by product of getting to the upper rpm range where you make the meat and potatoes of your power. Matt
