Hey Crag,

Here is an article of a break down analysis that Super Six Motorsports did on the 4.0L

http://www.supersixmotorsports.com/pdf/40SOHCTech.pdf

scrming asked Lidio from Alernative Auto about some of the information contained in the article and he wasn't real worried about the 4.0's strength. We can check with PowerSurge and PowerHouse what they think.

I had Nitrous on my 67 Camaro way back when and in my haste i used CAST pistons in the build... BAD decision.. first time i REALLY gave it some juice over a 75 shot and it was gooey. While the crank was forged, the pistons just couldn't handle it.

I'm VERY interested in Nitrous or an SC.. just haven't decided which one.. if i do Nitrous, i'll do it sooner as opposed to later just because I know with just a little more juice i can smoke a few of the SN95 Gts around here.

The SC is very appealing too, but out of my price range atm.. specially after putting my down payment on the Stang.. but hey, nice payments.

just fyi, ive seen a bone stock mach 1 run 13.2 lol, and ive read about some posting 13.05 and 13.08 in that range as well as the GT running low 14's (high 14s for the auto).

But ya, i think imma order some zex Just the thought of running 14 flat with my car is nice enough, especially with a stock intake and stock exhaust..

If Lidio didn't believe the 4.0 could handle the 75HP shot from the Zex kit he would point blank tell me so and probably refuse to even put my car on the dyno!

John,

I meant check with PW & PH about other induction option. LOL... Wow, someone got you jumpy, my friend?

I didn't clarify that. I meant...PS & PH are doing other things like TT and SC and we can check with their set-ups to see what kind of internal modifications are needed to support those platforms.

I WUB YOU JOHN... No offense intended, my friend.
