4.10 GEARS AND FORD T-LOK
Greetings,
I had my 4.10 ring & pinion installed yesterday at Alternative Auto. I would not want anymore gear than that, I am in 4th gear by 40mph under normal driving. Crusiing at 70mph is about 2600-2700rpm, kinda hard to say just looking at the factory tach. I only have about 60 miles on it, since the gear and T-lok install, so I have not nailed it yet. I should be able to give acceleration feedback within a few days. It for sure will make tire spin even worse!
I ordered my PHP alternator pulley and belt today, $159 plus shipping. I hope to see 4rwhp like others on the forum. I am looking for a group of people whom want to do a group buy on JBA shorty headers. I have seen non-ceramic ones for as little as $425, and we may be able to shave a few dollars more if we get 10 people or so to buy. I am still waiting for my lightweight driveshaft to be built, should know something in the next week or so.
I'm not one for adding spoilers and stuff, but I had to order the new Fang Performance front lip spoiler today. I think it's the best looking V6 spoiler yet. They are selling for $250 plus shipping, and will be ready in less than 2 weeks. Check out their website, and see the white V6 car with the spoiler.
It's going to be a tough journey to 220rwhp. I need 19rwhp more, so anyone whom has any ideas I'm open. Please read my preious posts, to see my current mods. I think the pulley is good for about 4rwhp and the headers are good for about 10rwhp, and maybe 5rwhp with a carbon fiber driveshaft? This would put me to the magic number of 220! Then it's going to be a long save for the Vortech system. I think with relatively low boost 6-7psi, I could be looking at 280-290rwhp. I imagine you could push it to 8-9psi, and acheive 300rwhp.
Hope this helps!

I'm pretty confident you'll see the 3 to 5 RWHP gain with the alt pulley...
It's the JBA headers I'm not so sure of... if you can demonstrate a good solid 10RWHP gain then I might have to look into them... but I'll like to see some solid proof... like dyno, remove stock, install JBA, dyno... LOL! I might even have to come down and supervise! LOL!
keep up the great work!!!

RE: 4.10 GEARS AND FORD T-LOK
Thats pretty cool, was thinking of getting the same thing 4.10 gears and T-Lok but not for a long time anyway Im not sure depeding on money issue but tell me how much the headers might be discounted, who knows maybe I might be able to buy a pair and help you out.

RE: 4.10 GEARS AND FORD T-LOK
lol ive been thinking about that... but rumours are that the engine is bullet proof... so i would trust it would be pretty reliable.. you dont always rev out daily driving... so i figure a normal driver can keep the fun where it is.. im just wondering fuel wise. are my stock injectors big enough?, is my regulator at an appropriate setting? is my fuel pump strong enough?

RE: 4.10 GEARS AND FORD T-LOK
I really appreciate your quest for 220 NA hp. That is my goal as well. I think that a reasonably light car tha hooks should run 14.5s at that power level. that"s quick enough for me right now. My kids will probably learn to drive on this mustang. The light weight driveshaft seems like a great mod to me. Who will be your source?
