Ok.. Well I have been keeping up with the posts and most of you guys are right.. I don't know much about hooking up the car "correctly" if that's what you call you.. What can I say.. I am a noob when it comes to all of this.. My way of looking at this was simple.. SSM was pretty much the "best" when it came to performance parts, or so I read.. So I went on their site and threw together what I thought was a sweet build and would be a durable engine.. And judging from their rep I figured they were the safe bet to let put together and all of that.. Then I took what I new.. Cold Air intakes, throttle bodies, exhaust, headers, etc.. Basically the bolt ons and started purchasing.. I bought the tuner for the basic tune and having the ability to turn off o2 sensors and get cel readings and whatnot.. but i knew i was still going to have to go to a dyno tune to get it perfect.. lastly as far as the springs and all that I went with a company i knew was good and i wasnt looking for anything crazy.. just a lowered look with a bit better handling... like i said earlier im not doing any crazy course driving or looking ot take corners at 100+.. to be perfectly honest as i stated in an earlier post i wanted a nice looking ride with the ***** under the hood when i needed it.. the car wont be abused much.. i just like to know i have it.. Which leads me into the rear.. I was planning on upgrading to the 8.8 but figured the car is not going to be put under heavy stress ALL the time.. once in a while, yea i am sure i will put it to the floor to see what she's got.. so i figured i could stick with what i got.. and plus to spend 300-400 to make her quicker for the year or more that she will be as is without turbo i figured she could hold together.. so here i am.. i got people telling me that its good im doing something, and i have others criticizing everything.. so lets put all the BS aside.. instead of criticizing why dont you guys actually lend a helping hand in where I should go from here.. If i made some mistakes then fine but im not ashamed to ask for the helping in hand to get back on track.. Show me what you guys think should be done differently.. i mean to be honest im not looking to sell off parts and all that crap but if you see something that should be thrown in or something let me know..

 

either get an 8.8 or put on the tlok so that you have traction for all that power, otherwise you'll just never hook up

 

Well I have the Ford Racing T-Lok going in..

 

That gold and black looks sick....
[in a i want to throw up, unless your car is that ugly gold color sort of way]

 

LMAO!!!!!


And to fearthisinc, It should be a pretty sweet build, though it might be a good idea to get some flow matched injectors and MAF, and maybe a different cam setup for N/A applications?

 

damn, i can't believe i missed this whole thread....

 

OP as said earlier stopping power. And uve got a good starting point with the 4.3. Cant wait to see some hp&tq numbers.

 

Watch your mouth, I have a gold car.

 

Ohhhhhh, Matt got ya. lol. The gold is sick, I might even consider painting the car gold one day.
