ford racing is the norm, best. just remember to let them break in for at least 50 miles. and don't get on them right away either, until they break in the metal will get hot and warp.

Just got my car back today from Mike Dez Racing......Gears 3.73 FMS and the UPR x pipe with cats.

I have a Novi 1k but still have to get it tuned that is coming next week. Car really has much more giddyup. I was advised gears just need one heat cycle and they are good to go. They did that for me so i was rompin all the way home. Just staying below 5k in RPM's as i am very lean up top.

Car is now pretty damn loud in my vert; with the x pipe and the magnapacks. Probably would be deafining with the off road pipe. Regardless i am a happy camper.

As long as there installed properly, then it really doesnt matter what kind you get but just to be safe the ford racing ones are great.

personally, i wouldnt be getting into any boost with that novi with it untuned.... boost making it lean conditions is just asking for something to pop...

Usually you need more than one heat cycle. I went a week driving really soft
