04GTRed

So I was asked earlier what mods I had made to get 298 Hp/323 tq to the wheels. Here is what I have:

CAI, 75mm TB w/intake elbow and spacer, udp's, Long tube headers, catted x-pipe, MHS Nitrous Stage 1 cams and a tune by Kurgan Motorsports.

The rest of the engine is completely stock as it arrived from Ford.

With the nitrous on a 48 jet, it made the power you see in the sig.

As you can see it's a pretty simple set up. I'll be glad to answer any questions.

Did you have a shop install the cams? I've been looking at that for my next mod and was wondering how much install would set me back or the difficulty of install.

I installed the cams myself. The job is not difficult and patience goes a long way. It is well worth it, if you do the work yourself.

Oh okay. How long did it take to get them installed? Can it be done in my garage with basic tools? I've read it's not so bad if you don't have to replace the springs, and just go with a mild street style cam.

I took about 8 hours and I never get in a hurry. Pulling the timing cover is the best way, do not mess around with holding tools. Yes it can be done in a home garage, the only specialty tool really needed is a puller for the crank pulley.

My cams did not require springs and that cuts down the time quite a bit.

What Dyno did Bob use? Those numbers are pretty generous for those cams.

It's a dynojet. But I disagree, there are quite a few of us with 225 intake cams and long tubes that are right at 300 rwhp. Plus, before we even started they told that we would not chase a number, as they focus on driveability and then the power is what it is.

I like track numbers better myself and with stock cams I ran a 7.98@84.6 on an n/a pass in the 1/8, so my car has always ran strong for a 2-valve.

"With the nitrous on a 48 jet, it made the power you see in the sig."

As I said in the other thread, "There is NO WAY 21 lb/h injectors, on their own at 40 psi, are putting 298 HP to the wheels."

WOWWWWW! Please read the sig again, I believe an ape could figure out which numbers are on the nitrous and which numbers are on motor only. It is clearly written.


Be my guest and scroll down to May 20 on the link below and if you are paying attention you might see a Redfire 2004 Mustang GT and if you look close enough you will spot the 21 lb/h injectors.

Here is a link that shows the dyno sheet and two videos, one from an n/a run and the other from a nitrous run.

I apologize, I did not read that. That I am old is one excuse, that it is not possible for 21 lb/h injectors to support 298 rwHP (SAE corrected), at 40 psi is another. They would have to be running at 105% duty cycle.

That is why Ford put 24 lb/h injectors in the 305 fwHP, 260 at the wheels, Mach 1s...
