Need advice and help.....

[Must-Be-A-Stang]

Im reading the GT Registry and its talking about some mods. Can someone explain in a little detail what this means and how to remove it??

''Here, one of the first modifications people make is to remove the air intake silencer (hidden in the fender), but HANG ON TO THIS!!''

Also, it says you can get a better mass air meter? Any suggestions on what type for a stock engin?

What is the biggest Throttle Body I can put on a stock engin?


''Other nice-looking aluminum heads include the new TFS Twisted Wedge heads. These heads have been dynoed to add 70 horsepower over stock heads and are priced very reasonably. ''

Is that true!? Which is better, GT 40x or those ^ ?


Thanks for your time

The silencer is just a restriction in the air induction system. Removing it adds about 2-3 hp. You might hear a wooshing sound coming from the engine if you remove it. Most people put a cold air intake on.

Biggest throttle body for stock engine would be 65mm. Everyone goes for huge throttle bodies when they don't really need them. Not sure 65 is worth the upgrade but you could look into it.

I've heard great reviews on the Twisted Wedge heads. Many people on here have them, and love them. I don't have them, but may be looking into buying some in the near future. Definitely go with those over GT40.

Good luck.

yea i agree i have GT40 and they are good and all but not worth the money. For some real power building combo parts go with Trickflow,Holley or Edelbrock for your heads/cam/intake combo.

If you really plan on getting H/C/I, then I would get a 70 mm TB so u dont have to upgrade again. A 65mm is very little difference and will be a slight bottleneck if u get H/C/I.

You have to get a mass air meter that is calibrated for what size injectors you have. If your car is stock it should have yellowish/orange colored 19# injectors. If you wanted to upgrade I would go with maybe a 73 mm MAF from Pro-M. They seem to work nicely with bolt on combos and mods for a naturally aspirated motor.

I agree with what all has been said...

The Twisted Wedge heads are very nice...as well as the AFR's (I have those)...they are pricey but worth it

65mm would be just fine for your car and your current plans...that is what I run as well...
