Couple of Questions
Hey guys....I ditched the site for a while and decided to come back...anyways...I have a few questions reguarding my 2003 Mustang GT. I orderd a 75mm T-body and plenum combo from Americanmuscle.com...before I tear of the stock set up...will I need a gasket between the bottom of the plenum and the intake manifold...The only reason I ask is because the combo came with two gaskets but not one specifically for that.
Second...I also purchased a NX 50-150 EFI Wet Plate System of of Americanmuscle.com. I know my car can handle a 100 shot as it sits. I have most all my bolt ons out of the way so I want to build up the motor internally Forged/Billet...either or. Any good companies to order from??? This is a N20 Car and will ONLY be a N20 car. I want to eventually spray a 300 shot some day way down the road after getting a race preped block. So if you guys have any advise on a good company to go through...please let me know.
My next mod...I want to get a set of cams...N20 Freindly. Don't really know to much about cams...and that's exactly why I'm asking the mechanically inclined.
I don't want a super rough idle...but I definatley want people to drop their jaws when I'm at a stop light...(this is a street car) Any other supporting mods would help too...like I said...I haven't torn into the motor...heads are all stock...stock manifold and all.
Thanx Guys

RE: Couple of Questions
idk bout n20 so i cant help you there. but as far as the plenum combo i dont think you need a gasket for the intake manifold. should just bolt on, i dont remember using any gasket there. just dont drop anything in your engine!

RE: Couple of Questions
If it's in good shape you can just reuse the old one, if not there dirt cheap at an auto parts store. Don't know much about N20 either but for other performance areas, have you done gears, pullies, A tuning chip like Caliber or Predator, and maybe an aluminum driveshaft?
