:aresehole:

I think ima get it just cuz everyone knocks n2o says "OMG your going to blow your motor up" etc (and bang for the buck lol). And then if anyone ever says bottles are for babies then ill just have to ask them how it feels to get your ass handed to ya by a baby ;D

I love n20,and when it's sized properly for your application,it's completely safe...do it! >

o im doing it. I think a nice 100-125 shot would do well. Id like to get a plate kit to make it a cleaner install but those sobs are spendy!

I always heard the pushrod made the engine struggle more??? The modular design was more easier on the engine??

I've never heard this.

 

[Hicks]

yea... something about the cam i dont know... Dont ask me man lol

 

[tooslow]

lol, in block cams have to move more parts than OHC meaning more parasitic loss. thats all.

 

[Hicks]

explain!!!!!!!!!

Pushrod motors are OHV (over head valve) and modulars are OHC (over head cams). The cam in the OHV design is in the block. The roller lifter rides on the camshaft and the pushrod is on top of the lifter. The lifter then moves the pushrod which then moves the rocker arm which then controls the opening and closing the valves in the head. Now on modulars the cam is in the head. The rocker arm rides directly on the cam controlling the opening and closing of the valve. This eliminates the lifters and pushrods. They will rev better of course and it also strengthens the block because it gets rid of the voids where the pushrod usually is. That is the basics pretty much

So a modular has 2 cams?? If i understand correctly?

the second pic is a ford v6, but you get the idea.

you seriously didn't know this?

 

[Hicks]

No i didn't, thanks for teaching me.

If you like hair bands and have a mullet, get a 5 liter. A 281 cubic inch 4.6 has and always will outperform a 302 cubic inch 5.0. The 2Vs do it and the 4V's aren't even comparable. Modulars have been around for 16 years. Giving up 21 cubic inches, making more power AND getting better mileage with OEM parts, I don't see a comparison I guess.

lol... ok then

Sorry, but its the truth, you'll get a bunch of 5.0 lovers on here telling you differently. I have had 3 5.0 Stang GTs , I modded them and raced them and I thought they were the $hit, until I got a Modular. These guys who have never owned a Modular and speak poorly of them, shouldn't really be taken too seriously unless you have owned them both. If you have then speak up..otherwise it is just internet BS.

Well i believe the 4.6 is a better engine. stock for stock. But the 5.0 can go alot faster alot cheaper. I'll say that in it's defence
