So, have any of you with 3.7s ported your intake or heads yet? And how beneficial is it actually going to be?
Lol I know I ask alot of questions, but thats why I'm on here is to learn everything I can about my car and engine!

None of us have ported heads even on the GT. Before you get to porting heads you'll be building the lower end of the motor for FI. What are your goals for the car btw?

Well so far my plans are
1. Full bolt on's get as close to 300-310 rwhp as I can
2 Appearance/wheels,tires
3 Suspension, the airride seems like somthing I want.
4. FI: the limitless performance Turbo seems nice http://www.lpfbuilt.com/2011-2014-Mu...-Kit_p_10.html

And thats about as far as ive thought out so far, but like I said I'm all open for suggestions on my build as this will be my first build I will possibly actually complete

Roger that. I have at least a half dozen things I want to do to mine yet, and every time I see something else...

Hell, I'll be putting things on this car right up to the day I go senile and they haul me off to the old sailors home. In fact, it may be the reason they declare me mentally incompetent.


(shut up)

Ok, I have a dilemma/ question for yall. As you know I am thinking about getting the air ride suspension upgrade, but 3k is a good bit to lay down at one time, so I was also thinking about the Ford Racing Handling Pack, now the question is. Should I wait,just get wheels and tires, and save up 3k at some point or get the handling pack and wheels and tires for now and then just swap when ever I get around to saving up that much? Realistically I have no idea when I will have that much money sitting around to spend, so give me some ideas. Or if you have a better option than that I'm all ears!

Best bet is to talk to Jason or Dan.......Ford racing is ok, but there is much better setups for that price. I just sent you a PM with Dan's number.
