hotmustang331 said:A. Go buy a LS1 car. B. Swap in an 01 Cobra engine. C. Swap in a 03-04 mach 1 engine. D. Go the power adder route. E. Be happy with what you have........In short, the money you would spend on heads and cams is not worth the money IMO, intakes are FREEKIN $$$ too, bullitt $800 new, P51 is like $1300...around 10-15 hp for bullit, and 17 for P51. So lets see, $800 for intake + $1300 for heads + $500 for cams= $2600+....and bam around 300 RWHP.That assuming you do ALL the work, cant imagine $60 dollars per hour for someone to do the work LOL.If you think its worth it, then go for it.
nickthegenius said:If a 4.6L with heads/cams/intake only makes 300RWHP, there is something very wrong.
and whats your problem kid?WhiteDevil69 said:do you own the Fast and the Furious by any chance??
nickthegenius said:OK....so I have a few questions for you.
1. You're not Mustanglife by any chance are you?
2. What does your car dyno w/o the nitrous? Somehow I bet its not in the 285-300 range (or 315-330 range with ported heads) it would be if it had a good set of cams in it.
3. You're suggesting a CAI for performance?
4. Keeping 3.73s for a N/A car is a good idea and 4.10s will make a small difference?
5. What about the P51 and Bullit intakes? Are they too restrictive for you?
I think I hear the baby Jesus crying....
TeriiK said:lol its cute how fast u kids start sniveling over a reality check of the 4.6
newsflash, the difference in quartermile between 4.10's and 3.73's is minimal.
and yeah, compaired to the majority of V8's, 4.6 cams dont give nearly the power for the money. ypu people think a 30hp gain at peak is great, this just shows your inexperience with V8's and racing as a whole. take a 4.6, throw some cams, an aftermarket intake (hey, they only start above a grand, no comparison to a 200 dollar 5.0 aftermarket manifold, right?) and do all your little bolt ons, and what do you get? thirteens. get some good tire and learn how to drive, and maybe a high 12.
hey, its cool though, keep your little illusion long as you guys want. just dont be pissed when a 5.0 blows by you with half the money invested.
honestly i would look on e bay and buy a set of used p1 heads, bang for the buck there gonna flow more and then add a c&l 80mm mass air. and yes definitly worth it and dyno proven time and time again check out there internet site. let me know how it goes bro. gearhead81aTobias00GT said:I have:
Accufab Plenum
Accufab 75mm TB
Steeda Underdrive Pullies
Diablo Sport Chip
Bassani X-Pipe /w Hi flow cats
Magnapack Catback
3.73 gears
And I have a bunch of suspension work done
Besides Nitrous, a S/C... what other bolt ons are out there that can help me out?
I heard the K&N Desencharger is not bad.. I'm told the 80mm C&L isn't worth it.
I was thinking I might get some new agressive cams... I'm told that would give me about 10 more rwhp. I would love to get my heads Ported and Polished... and do the cams at the sametime but I believe that is out of my price range.
Any suggestions?
I just went by your sig, it says (tuned) and you have a 3in exhaustTeriiK said:and s281, if you think you can mock it, then explain to me what i did to the MAC to tune it? why wasnt it good enough stock? oh wait, you dont know jack about it do you? or about me. why dont you address the topic or shut the hell up? sounds great.
03-s281 said:I just went by your sig, it says (tuned) and you have a 3in exhaust
and only a CAI. You lost any power you gained from the CAI buy putting the 3in exhaust on, most people only have that big of exhaust if they are running turbo or big blower. Unless you meant 3in tip, then I could see that. And since when is a Spec Stage 1 a racing clutch?? You can make a N/A 2v car run in the low 11's if you want to. You can put one in the 12's with 260rwhp.
To think you have to guy buy a LS1 to go fast you are lost!!!
My car will run mid 12's next season N/A with bolt ons, what will you do?????

nickthegenius said:Who are they done by? Make sure it is someone reputable and try to stay away from Patriot. Although I haven't had first-hand experience with them, there have been numerous reports of exhaust seats falling out of the heads and in turn causing bigger problems.
