Hawgman,

running 39 # injectors, Twin GTI Fuel Pumps,


I have not done any suspension upgrades yet, so we are keeping the TQ somewhat reasonable, plus I have 20's on it, which are really heavy.

What suspension upgrades do you recommend, and can you elaborate on the LT's?

Thanks,
JW

You increase your exhaust flow with LTs. This allows more flow through the engine, less pressure build up. You will make more power, and as a result of the increased flow your actual PSI will drop. I am running a 10lb pulley and would show around 11psi at WOT. Install LTs and it dropped down to about 7.5 to 8psi, and the HP increased.

Sherwood,
We have the 90mm Lightning MAF (MAM?) on our KB kits. I'm not sure what the specs on the GT-500 part is.

What hawgman said is right on the spot. The exhaust was the last thing that I did. Before I put my LT's on I had some pinging on the top end and my boost was off the gauge @ around 12psi. But after the exhaust was opened up the pinging went away and my boost is closer to 10 psi.
Getting more of that hot exhaust gas out made a huge difference. At least for me.

Ya I think a few were a little confused for a little as most call it the MAF not the MAM
the Lightning was about 400 HP but the MAF is probobly capable of reading alot more air than 400 is pulling
I think it would be cool to have the MAF from the "FORD GT"

Sorry,

My mistake. MAF versus MAM.

What exactly are LT's?

Thanks in advance

LT's are the abbreviation for Long tube Headers

Gotta love that color

I was told that I have reached the upper safe hp limit with stock internals and not to do anything that would increase hp. What have you been told? We are at about the same level.

The guy in this article states that 425hp is going to be a safe lasting horsepower for the 05-06 GTs 3v4.6l. On the 2nd page towards the bottom he explains the weakness is the powered rods and the rings placed closer towards the top of the piston.

I was just wondering what you guys thought about the article, if any of you read it or not.

That is basically the same thing we have been saying for over a year. But don't chistle in stone that 425hp number. I know of cars that have popped rods on less than 400, and cars that have lasted over a year on more than 500. It's pretty hit and miss. Just do the absolute very best thing you can do to protect yourself....get a DAMN GOOD TUNE.
