well the speedcal is used to recalibrate your speedometer after a gear install because when you change gears, it also changes your speedometer reading (this problem could be fixed through a hand held tuner if you dont already have one, or buying the speed re calibrator). the 8.8 rear gear pinion bearing is only for the 2010+ mustangs with the 8.8 rear end because ford changed the inner rear gear pinion bearing in those vehicles. the install kit is usually recommended for cars with 60k+ miles because it comes with new seals and gaskets. plus, why not do it all at once with the rebuild kit if you already have the gears out and everything. it just seems like a good investment to protect the new gears you would be installing

I agree, you definately need to do a "PI Swap" You can usually pick up the heads and intake manifold dirt cheap.

Get 3.73's. Your engine doesn't rev enough to reap maximum benefit from 4.10's.

??Why would you have extra people in the car?



Also, how much can one gain from ported PI heads?

on a pi swap your looking anywhere from 270-280ish at the crank.

Seems like there's far too much work for a 2v to reach power levels of a bolt on 4v.
