compression got bumped starting 2001 models. I guees that's why they are adjusting the timing compare to 99 and 2000.raykrv6a said:Are the 01's the only ones with head casting problems? How about the 02's-04's? Same issue with boost?

mrpositraction said:It feels incredible on the street. I can never floor it in 1st and have to be careful in 2nd. Today on the way to work, I went to pass a car at 80mph in 4th gear and as I go into boost, the car went sideways (the road was slightly wet), awsome(dangerous, but awsome). I will post them tonight or tomorrow.
raykrv6a said:Get a copy of the dyno chart, take a pic of it and post it please. Peak torque and peak hp aren't everything.
mrpositraction said:Nobody said it was, I will do my best getting the actual graph posted, I have been having troubles getting stuff posted, it is always to big. (wish I heard that more)
raykrv6a said:lol.
PM me if you have trouble. I will resize it and can either send it back to you or post it for you. Your choice.
Sounds like the car is running good....................
No, just the 01 model. The company that casts the heads made a mistake and ford didn't pay to fix it.stallion98gt said:compression got bumped starting 2001 models. I guees that's why they are adjusting the timing compare to 99 and 2000.
Cobra Killer, I'm curious. Would Modular Powerhouse sell the KB "Big Tube" on it's own. I was looking at KB's advertisement and they stated that they won't sell the tube without their MAF meter (typical). The reason I ask is that I'm about to buy the AED 9psi kit for my Mercury Cougar (checked into the KB blower first.....too much fabrication and expense to install on my car) and have gone ahead and picked up a 75mm T/B and 90mm MAF, but now I’m stuck for an intake tube. The K/B's tube seems like it would likely be a direct bolt on.cobra killer said:We just finished a 01 saleen with a KB install today.Im tuning it tomorrow.I'll post results.

Go to www.roushperf.com and do a search for "tube".

95CobraStang said:I like the look of the Mac straight shot, and was thinking of getting it instead of the KB cold air, when I supercharge (w/ KB 9lb).....so you're saying that it isn't a good combo, and the KB cold air is much better???
If so, this is very important info!

As for the dyno results, I have good and bad news. The bad news first. The best run I got was only 279 rwhp, this is unacceptable. The good news is Kenne Bell agrees and is more than willing to help me get what I was promised. Ken has been more than great so far, he said that there is definetely something wrong and he is going over my cal right now. I need to find out the timing and Ken said that he will do whatever I want. I will let you guys know more later, meanwhile I am going to drink myself stupid so I can forget about these numbers. On the same note, the car feels pretty strong now, I can't wait till it pulls aroung 330 rwhp.

Something is absolutely wrong. You can have 279 rwhp with a few bolt ons. Hope you figure it out. If it helps, the first time I dynoed my car after the KB install, it put to the wheels 367 horses. I was very disappointed since I was hoping for 400+ rwhp. It took Ken about four iterations to tweek the chip calibration. I'm now putting 398 rwhp on the power mode and 418 rwhp on the shootout mode. That's with the 9 psi pulley. I'm yet to dyno the 10 psi pulley which is the one I have on now. With the smaller pulley the car feels like the mother of all beasts!! Let me know if I can help somehow.mrpositraction said:For the spark plug question, I have TR20 Denso U-groove, this is a NGK brand.
