yeah, Im going with the trickflow track heat kit.. parts at a time, so I just ordered the:

Trickflow - Intake Manifold, Street EFI, Aluminum, Silver Powdercoated, Multi-port, Ford, Mustang, 5.0L, Kit

BBK 75MM Throttle Body

Trickflow 75mm Intake Adapter

so I'm about 750 in the hole now.. lol

oh, and I second day air the whole shipment.. it will be here on Wednesday
 
Those parts make good power...can't wait to see it run:nice:

What would be cool is if you ran at the track as is...and then add the parts this coming week and run it again and see what you get:)

Make sure you port the street heat intake to 75mm if it isn't already so you don't an wall of obstruction...

I just checked on the trickflow website and the inlet on the intake is 75mm, thanks for reminding me of that!

Watson said with the parts I have now, the car is capable of 11.7, and remember my convertible ? With all the parts I have now plus a tb, and holley systemax it ran a 11.58 (was the best I could get it).. so now I have a hardtop and hopefully should be at 11.45 or so. :crossfingers: I hope the tranny will do right atleast on one run to get a best time.
 
Nice goals:nice: Yeah I couldn't remember if they TFS's were at 70 or 75...so I figured I would have reminded you but you would have seen it protrude anyways.

I figure John will get around 12.3-12.4 at 85 or so mph...maybe 86.
 
i'm hoping for 11.4's next weekend.. that's my goal. If i can run an 11.499 i'll be happy :D

Based on my 60ft and 1/8 times from that 11.54 run compared to the previous 11.55 run, they were a little slower on the 11.54 run. I'm hoping that if i can get my 60ft down to 2.0, i'll see 11.4's.. just gonna keep my fingers crossed and try as hard as i can, maybe launch at 2500 or so.
 
sometimes i wish i had a 5.0. think my next car will be a 95 Kewbra. thats all i ever wanted when i turned 13 and they came out. 347 stroker, some AFR 185 heads, gt-40 ported/polished upper/lower, a nasty bump stick.....mmmmmm how's it taste mother ****er!

of course i'll keep the lil ole 2V for kenne-belle purposes

alright mothers, i made a deal w/the queen. im gonna write a 5 pg paper for her history class, and in turn she wont give me any **** about buying mods or going to the track. SO,...how's about we all try to head out to the track this saturday, maybe even get there early so we can get a lot of runs in. i need to get my 60' down and get used to the 4.10s. my magic shift knob will help, but it cant do all the work.

so what do you think? i think a set of LT's and maybe some LCA's sound pretty good personally, but who's gonna be there?

Saturday is clear for weather, supposed to be below 60°, and Watson is going to install my intake for me on thursday or friday. He wants to get it done before Saturday so I can run it. Saturday would be great.

How do you like the 4.10's brandon?

The wing is a '94 Saleen. '95 R wheels. These pics are before all the R parts I put on it and tinted, lowered, and S/C'd it. This was the day I brought her home for her first bath. The backgroun is at a dive duplex we rented for a year.
I'd give my '04 for her to be back, anyday. I miss the pushrod power. :(
