Yeah I know that, they are listed seperately. Thanks!

 

Well I did it - I ordered the following:

Magnaflow Tru-X X-Pipe - little performance gain. may make the exhaust note raspy.

Borla Stinger S-Type Catback

C&L Racer Cold Air Intake

SCT X3 Tuner from Brenspeed (Thanks for the advice Nuke)

Magnaflow Tru-X X-Pipe catted

Borla Stinger S-Type Cat-Back

Shelby Strut Tower Brace

Steeda Mustang Underdrive Pulley System

Motive Performance Plus 3.90 Gears (8.8in) with bearing kit

*C&L Performance 3 Valve Intake Manifold

*Ford Racing Twin 62mm Billet Throttle Body (Thanks Blue Meanie)

- These two even Brenspeed acknowledges are not going to do much until I buy the Paxton centrifigual intercooled supercharger next summer, but they'll help A LOT when I get it

*Comp Cams Stage II XFI NSR Camshafts (I'll get these and put'em in when I get the supercharger. Brenspeed has had great success with NSR's and say I don't necessarily need to go to the high-lift spring model with the supercharger)

I think this package will do very nicely. I'm shopping for suspension kits to do when I do the supercharger and cams - or maybe sometime thereafter - that will be a pretty big nut to crack in itself.

Thanks for all your comments, they really helped!

 

Congrats on the mods, but I wouldn't have got the 3.90 motive gears. From what I have read, unless you have a miraculous install and the stars are alinged just right, they will whine.

 

Yeah, I have heard that about Motive... and FRPP and every other gear set on every car that's ever had a gear set put to it; typically due to going "cheap" and either trying to do it yourself or going to some toothless wrench jockey. That's not a mistake I intend to make - I'll have them installed by someone who knows what they're doing. I've already selected a mechanic that's been successful with numerous Motive installs.

 

Even with the best installers, motives are subject to whine. I am not saying that all motives whine. Motives have a slightly different tooth cut pattern than FRPP that might be the reason that motives tend to whine a majority of the time.

 

Op....not to get off topic, but you live in Oregon, but your username is milwaukee? You from here?

 

Just from personal experience you will like the Brenspeed tunes they are awesome.

 

It's my understanding that Motive actually makes gears for Ford? Am I missing something?

 

As far as i know, you are correct. Ford racing makes 3.08, 3.31,3.55, 3.73 and 4.10 gearsets. They sell 3.90,l 4.30, 4.56, and 4.88 , which are made by Motive, but package as Ford Racing. All good. Just get a good install.

 

That's correct, but there is a difference. Motive gears will end in a M and FRPP will end in an A, so even though motive makes the gears for ford, the two gears (FRPP and Motive are different).
