    How happy is everyone with their CAI's?

    I have argued in the past that CAI's are worthless, I now have more track data to back that claim up. I have 2 91 Octane race tunes from Doug at Bamachips, one is for a JLT CAI, the other is for the stock airbox. Sunday, 3 May 09, I made 6 passes, 3 with the stock air box, 3 with the JLT CAI...

    Mustang accident at Bethune

    I knew Colin personally. WOW, doesn't quite explain it. I don't think this will hurt the local Mustang community but it is sending shockwaves through the RCMP.

    What year was the PI swap done?

    Haven't checked into lately. Does his car have actual numbers and track times yet or just his BS that it will kill Corvettes?

    How hard is it to install cams?

    Cams are not a drop in item and go. A person on a few other boards has been wondering on actual clearances of PTV with aftermarket cams. He has found some very startling things. Any aftermarket cam with more than 225 duration on the intake side and installed tighter than 115 intake...

    Trick Flow Heads on the Market!!!11

    Trick Flow put some videos on You-Tube showing the Engine Dyno testing. There was no accessories on the engine and there was LT headers. 300 BHP SAE corrected is pretty realistic for what the stock engine had... YouTube - Trick Flow Dyno Session 2 4.6L heads YouTube - Trick Flow Dyno...

    New PI Motor Or rebuilt Non PI

    Sounds like the valve seals need to be replaced. I wouldn't rebuild the engine if that is the case. To answer your original question if the engine needs to be rebuilt. I would swap an Explorer 4.6L 2V in. It is a PI engine with an aluminum block so you will knock about 85 pounds off the...

    Best CAI with tuner combo

    I currently have the JLT CAI on my 2005 Mustang GT. I had loaned to me a Steeda CAI and C&L Racer for a test I never did. I personally like the C&L racer. That said, I am not sure a CAI is a great investment for these cars. I haven't had my car at the track with the CAI installed on it...

    Racing: 1-2 shift...

    I stay WOT on the 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift. I have missed 2nd a couple of times with my MGW shifter, haven't missed 2-3 shift with it though. It was the exact opposite with the stock shifter.

    Degreeing NPI Comp Cams?

    Personally, the 2 cams I would drop in is the stock NPI cam or the stock PI cam. Every other 2V cam, I would degree in. You will get the best performance and know exactly where your cam is( Cam Timing ). The car will be easier to tune as well, especially the idle.

    What year was the PI swap done?

    The NPI 4.6L 2V V8 was from 1991 - 2000 depending on the model of car. Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis had NPI 2V heads from 1991 - 2000. ThunderBird and Cougar had NPI heads from 1994 - 1997. Mustang had NPI heads from 1996 - 1998. Mustang had Windsor PI heads from 1999 - 2000...

    2 valve vs 4 valve

    Actually 500 RWHP has been done on the 4V. I am not arguing either way. Just putting it out there that the 2V has achieved 400 RWHP N/A for the non-believers. I am not one that is big on dyno numbers. A 96 - 98 Cobra makes more RWHP than a PI GT, but that same GT will give that Cobra a...

    2 valve vs 4 valve

    Brian, This car did this almost 3 years ago. A lot can change in 3 years. IE, that member's Modular Depot account is now considered a Guest account which you can't search posts by user name of guest accounts. The best I can do right now is someone 2.5 years ago mentioning how he achieved...

    American Muscle wheels

    I have their 17x9 Bullets for my rear racing tires. These wheels are poorly made. I would not use them on a DD tire combo. The tire shop that installed them for me showed me just how bad they are. Balancing the rims with no tires, they required a lot of weight to be added. Good thing I...

    track bite???

    Put the VHT into a spray bottle( Windex ). When spraying the tires, either lift the rear end and rotate the tires as you spray them or move the car ahead to spray the missed areas. You want equal VHT on the entire tread area of the tire. You want the thread area entirely coated. When you do...

    Should I upgrade me coil packs

    Stay with the stock ones... It has not mattered whether the cars have been N/A or boosted, I have heard of many horror stories with aftermarket coil packs. After they switched back to the stock ones, the issues went away.

    Issue with E-Brake freezing up?

    I had mine freeze up when it was -10 degrees Celsius in 2007. That was with my 05 Mustang GT and they were replaced. Since then I use my parking brake every day and have not had any issues. I have been driving my car where it has been -40 and the car has been parked in deep snow with the...

    If you are not on a waiting list for these new heads, you will be waiting awhile for them. They are planning a end March/early April release. The base pair of heads is around $1995.00 IIRC.
