pros and cons bolt ons
 
is it worth the money for a bigger throttle body? or a spacer? and does anyone know where i could get a back axle and differential with 3.75 or 4.10 gears? theres a lot i want to do to my mustang but need some help.

Actually you can get too big a TB and hurt performance. Mine's a 70mm but each car/engine will have a different thresh hold.

waste of money.

mjlunsford 01-31-2012 04:32 PM

why is it a waste of money and do you lke the 70? feel any different when you put it on?

Daehawk 01-31-2012 04:42 PM

It was on it when I found it. Compared to a stock V6 ya I'd say it's a lot different. Theres other things been done and I wouldn't rule out a tune either but Im sure it helped with response. Thing will waste tires and get to 60 in no time.

alright cool. did you do the cold air intake yourself as well? im about to get one really soon probably gonna be the k&n. found it for a good price and it hasnt been open yet. is installation hard? any problems i should know about before going and installing myself?

Pros: "bragging rights" pertaining to having "mods"
Cons: Lots of money invest for little to no real gains, examples:
CAI - 2-5 rwhp
Exhaust - 3-7 rwhp
Pullies - 2-5 rwhp
TB - 0 rwhp (ported intake 1-2 rwhp)
Tuner - 3-7 rwhp
Intake spacer - 2-4 rwhp


Now compare that to these:
Supercharger - 8-12 rwhp per PSI
N2O - 8-10 rwhp per 10lbs of boost
Heads/Cam/Intake swap - 25-75 rwhp (depends on the setup taken)




Keep in mind that when I give 2-5 rwhp on a cold air intake, that's the range for variation, you need to take the median of around 3.5 to get a real idea as to where you'll land. In short 2 rwhp is about the minimum gain, and 5 is the darn near the best.

No but they are pretty easy. About an hour. American Muscle used to have a install video too to walk you through it.

This is the closest to my CAI..it's a MAC too.
