HA! If someone did a swap they did one hell of a job covering it up!!

What I need to do is get to the track and see what happens there. I'll get a dyno tune the next time I add a procharger!!

Ok new update....Went to GearHeads in arlington last night and had my 4.10's installed. (I reccomend anyone in the DFW area go there) After the install Travis (owner) threw my baby on the dyno just to see what was going on. I told him of my horrible numbers and he was going to look into it. The first run came up 272 hp and 289 ft/lbs tq. I was more than happy at this point. He did a second run after messing witht the timing and it went to 275 and 292. I was extremely pleased from my previous run of 244 hp and 268 tq at the other place. I was told to come back and he would custome tune it which would more than likely put me well above 280 hp and probably over 300 ft/lbs.

Oh yeah and the 4.10's are freaking sweet! First gear is just a bit short but she pulls pretty hard now.

I also bought an intake spacer while I was there for $40. She'll go on this weekend if I get the time.

Adding the 4:10's will lower your hp on a dyno.FYI

no it won't...gear neither add nor subtract HP.they are simply a factor by which the power is multiplied. but in 4th gear which is a 1:1 gear it nullifies that.

I bought an intake spacer to put in this weekend. I didn't get the Roy spacer I got one from GearHeads which is made of steel. He sold it to me for 40 bucks . I had to go buy my own gasket which cost me 40 bucks as well and some bolts but i'm out the door for about 85 bucks.

dude take your car to gearheads. i dont know where you went but i would never go back. i dynoed mine at gearheads with just the FIPK, off road H and flowmaster weld ins and it was 290/311. and when it comes time to install the gears hit me up i have a friend that can do it for less than any shop he is a ford tech and did mine. i have 0 whine and drives PERFECT. had the rear apart not too long ago and checked them and still looked perfect. but take the car to gearheads. travis is a cool guy that wont dick you around
