[Hey thanks for all the ideas. I'm gonna be going w/ the PI intake/Cam/Tune/Gear swap. Like ya'll said I can always add more later. thanks again
How do you figure the intake is a waste of money. Probably the most bang for the buck mod on an early 4.6L engine there is. Where else can you pick up 30+hp for around $200? If anything, I'd say the headers are the biggest waste of time and money in that equation. You'll gain next to "zero" horsepower on a NPI engine with headers and mid pipe alone! The exhaust ain’t coming out any faster if you're not getting the air in there to begin with!
If it were my money, I'd do a PI intake/Cam/Tune/Gear swap all in one shot, then start saving again and go with the a Centrifugal style blower next.
No, I was suggesting the stock (or at least late model PI cams) I've got PI cams and ported heads on my blown combo and make 410hp/465TQ seeing only 9psi on the boost gauge. The N/A PI cams can make great power on a blower car. People are often way too quick to criticize and change them out IMO. They often mistake lumpy idle for horsepower, which is very often not the case and more often than not, what they pick up on top, is sacrificed down low. And killing low end torque on a 4.6L is something you really can't afford to do!This sort of makes sense, but one question: you're saying for the first round of mods, he should get cams, then the next round would be a blower. Wouldn't the N/A cam not work well with the blower, or were you suggesting a blower cam, which I imagine would make his car run worse than the stock NPI cam while he's still NA? Just asking, curious about this myself because the next thing I'm looking at is cams but I also want a blower eventually.
