Whats up Code. ive been thinking about a P51 manifold and have mixed thoughts ive read not worth it unless you have cams and p&p heads. but then also ive seen you can get some ok gains with some of the mods i have (in my sig) i just want your opinion and/or ideas. i also want to go with vt stage one cams but wont unless i find some one in cali that has passed a smog with them. if you got any info on that would be nice too.
Thanks

 

Either way, don't you need an exemption order in CA?

Gains wise, on a otherwise stock motor your gonna make alot more with the cams. From what I have seen, the P51 really only starts to pickup power above the realistic powerband of a otherwise stock 4.6L 2v.

 

You might lose a little with the P51 and minor bolt ons. It is one BIG *** intake...LOL If you are planning on doing some major head/cam work then go for it.

 

no major head/cam work but if i can find some evidence that in ca the vt stage one will pass then i will do that. but thats about it. so you would say spend the money other places first or get it. (in the future i plan to s/c but not for like 2 yrs "shell be paid off then").

 

how are the gains with a procharger and possibly coming soon vt stage 1 cams

 

i plan on the P51 manifold as well.. unless a better one comes out... how much do they go for? i saw them for like 1k and also like 800 on sale once?

 

if the car is blown or will be soon... make sure you get blower cams... they are better on a supercharged car than n/a cams..

 

yea thats my plan, but, i was also looking into the new trick flow, hopefully it has good gains

 

yea, im hoping it has decent gains... i really like the P-51 though, it just makes the motor look massive. lol. i will be investing in a manifold by the end of the year, i just dont know which one yet...

 

It doesn't matter if you pass or not out here. You'll need the CARB # (I dunno if it has one or not) to avoid getting towed, impounded and fined out the *** if a cop pops your hood.

As I've said a million times, CA sucks ***** for modding cars....
