Default Another death.....

Yet another death to report. Not that I didnt expect it, I knew what was coming. Its a 99-04 edge, Id say 01-02, real nice car. Not sure what all he has done, he told me a while back he had flows, and Im guessing an o/r midpipe of some sort, that thing really screamed.

We do a couple first gear pulls on the cruise strip, I jump out about a car, get reeled in. So, he pulls off onto the highway, I follow. 30 roll, 3 honks, 1 car. 2nd gear, hes at my mirror, top of 3rd, hes got at least 1 1/2. He pulled me so fast it wasnt funny. I had a passenger, he was by himself. Im guessing with a little gear, exhaust, and by myself, mighta been a little different. We came back onto the strip, honk-n-wave, try again next time........

P.S. I know its time for the full pi swap, please dont rub it in [8D] Theres a complete set of pi heads w/ cams for like $300 shipped for sale on the forum!!!! Just cant get my hands on the cash [:@]

Is it possible to put 3V heads on the older 4.6's, or are the blocks different? Just curious.

Screw a 3v, go with a 4v if it's possible, which I'm pretty sure is.

Doesn't sound like too bad of a loss? One car at shutdown? Not bad IMO

nah, wasn't too bad, but thats just because we shut down in 3rd. He was def. pulling hard on me, woulda been at least a 2 car loss if we pulled up to 120ish (which Im too chicken-**** to do anyways). It was all fun none the less, of course I hate losing, but I was trying to compare more than win anyways.

simpson........got 3.55's (dont ask why, they were cheap on ebay I guess) sitting in the basement, very first mod I bought for my car, last to go on. Im probably gonna put those back on ebay and find me some 3.73's, or is there even a big enough difference b/t the 2 to go through the trouble??

Ive been known to be wrong, but I highly doubt the 3v heads will bolt right up, and I almost def know the 4v wont........waiting to be corrected [8D]
