What Next?

[Justin]

What should i do next.. Minor cost mod

Im lookin at a Xenon Rear Spoiler
UDPs
Halo Headlights

[Stumpy]

UDPs. those will help with performance versus the others.

[bbunt302]

Start saving up for a set of AFR 165s.

[Justin]

I know alot of you are gonna say save up....Thats the reason that isnt on the pole....If yall could pick something thats on the pole

[bbunt302]

Nope... sorry man.

[Justin]

I was supposed to get typhoon upper and lower intakes from someone for about 250... Heard nothing back yet..So now im lookin for something that runs about anywhere in the FREE - $200 range to get for my car... If you dont like whats on the pole then suggest something in that range

[bbunt302]

A box of animal crackers perhaps?

I guess the UDPs aren't too bad, but I'd only get the crank pulley. You can also get an offroad mid pipe for $200-$250.

[Justin]

im thinkin about it...thats a good suggestion bbunt.. im thinkin off road x...how much hp will i gain and how much of a sound diffrence....now if you will excuse me im about to blow on the tC guys hard with my next post in the Sold QQ thread

[bluemustang]

UDP if i had to choose above

[bbunt302]

I like the Mac Prochamber myself. In all reality, it's a sort of blend between an H-pipe and an X-pipe. You should listen to some clips of it.

But don't worry about comparing power numbers when shopping for an offroad pipe. Get what you think sounds best. Any gains one may have over the other is completely neglibible. These aren't 130 fwhp Scions we're dealing with here. You can stand to lose a hp or two for the sound you want.

[Justin]

Thats why i went with your suggestion on the flowmasters that i have one my car now... Do you have prochamber? If you do could you post a clip for me

[bbunt302]

Yup. And nope. The car is 600 miles away from me right now, and I have nothing to take one with either.

[rocknbronco]

I say Halo's

[silverstangboy]

you don't want them anymore? im a busy guy, if you want them let me know.

no hard feelings man, i'd get on the ball a bit more but the parts are in another town with my car 1 hour drive away, i will be there next weekend though.

[Justin]

Ok i have thought about so many diffrent things to get.. Im counting on you guys to help me decide.....

Silverstang has typhoon u&l intakes i want to get but yall have said that i should get u&l intake and heads that will go together with a cam.... What you think i should do about that....?

If yall dont think i should do that what do yall suggest... I would really like to get my looks of the car a bit more intimidating....i dont want to hear paint the bumper either.. i want to get a cobra bumper so im not gonna waste the money to paint this one

[silverstangboy]

if it were me and I had it to do all over again, in the performance department i'd get some gt-40's gt-40p's or something really cheap since right now aluminum is out of the question. have them checked and put new seals in them, get some decent intakes (or leave the stockers for now) definetly leave the stock cam, I can't for the life of me understand why everyone keeps suggesting otherwise... apparently ill-experienced.

bolt that together and then start slowly saving cash for a blower....
that is the only true streetable and cheapest way to make power on a SBF, not that you can't do it otherways, but in the end the headache is much less.

plus once the blower is on there you'll be making enough power that if you choose to you can up the boost and split the stock block... if your end goal is to make more than enough power than that then your in a whole nother ball game and my advise would be to start saving for that DART

[Justin]

so would the typhoon and the gt40 heads work together?

[silverstangboy]

actually the typhoon is a copy of an edelbrock RPM which is a lil highstrung for the gt-40's and that is why I put the spacer on mine, it helped bring things back down to reality (the edel performer and RPM has the same size ports, just shorter runners on the RPM)

I made about 275 hp at the crank with my setup completely untuned (horrible air-fuel curve) some serious blow-by issues and a way out of wack valvetrain...we basically pulled the car off the dyno the second it started pukeing oil, I honestly believed i could have put down 250 to the wheels with that setup if everything was fixed right, and probably more like 270 or so if I ditched the shitty E-cam... the intake head combination was not the problem.

regardless, I decided to address the problem, and while I was in there fix a few other things as well, since I can currently afford to.
I also decided to actually learn some things about building engines, I recommend anyone thats taking on a ford project pick up a few different books on rebuilding small block fords, those are worth their weight in gold.

take your time and choose what you want, personally if you've got all stock exhaust on your car now thats where i'd start with modifications, exhaust was one of the first few mods you do to a car with a really cool payoff, especially if you get rid of those cats... and you'll get a gain in power that kicks underdrive pullies ass'es to the curb

[Justin]

Right not i have no cats on my car with off road-h and flowmaster 40s.... So yay or nay on the typhoons...would they do good or would the gt-40s do better?
