Default Whipple SC'd Stang + FRPP Hot Rod Cams

well i installed these last night and can't
wait to fire it up to see if it'll even run.....

i took lots of pics (as always), so if there
is any reasonable demand for a write-up,
i'll do one.

should have it all put back together and
started for the first time, on sunday.

did a before dyno run as a baseline and if
this hog runs well enough to drive it back,
i'll get an after run as well...


special thanks to jmose77, who answered all
of my technical questions.



hey vocoat and mustanglouie.......a dark horse
suddenly appears in the race......


EDIT: for those that don't want to read until pg 3 about the write up Hammeron did on the install of the FRPP Hot Rod Cams see sticky at top of 4.6L section- mygt500

Who doesn't have a video camera this day and age? My cell phone takes video! Get a $99 flip video camera. It's so easy a caveman could do it.

I thought you were installing a twin disc clutch?

blacks197, well i'm going to see how it
runs with the stock whipple tune....if it
needs adjustment, then i really won't have
any choice but to get a tune for it....

i'll know on sunday or monday if retuning
is a must.



moose, the clutch project is next spring or
summer......i need lots of time to prepare....
