Ok so im back with a cobra

[mustangspartan]

Ok so i dont think people go out of their way to know everyone here or what they posted so i wont go ahead and assume you all know what im doing with my beast..
So far i picked up the eibach lowering springs a new ignition and also a new windsheild
Next to come asap. BBK long tubes (was thinking ceramic but the cost vs savings is so so for me)
BBK or MAC off road H Pipe and MAC cat back (saw some side exhaust with a xpipe and fell in love )
BBK cold air intake fenderwell.
Changing all fluids to Amsoil and thinking rear gears but like my gas milage ( i know i know)

Next what i was thinking was porting the gt40 cobra heads but when i keep looking at gt40x for under 6 bills delivered and assembled its kinda hard to move forward. I love the sound and power of the TFS1 cam and a great tune would be just fine..
I just dont know if my head cam combo would be great i know i would need gaskets and studs but is it better to port or to get a different head and cam all together.
These mods would be all i would want to do unless i got a bigger mass air and throttle body and picked up 3.73

Future holds a beautiful 408 stroker or a new 5.0 motor install. But that all takes money..
\Oh one last thing im also getting the CJ phony king cobra clutch kit which has everything i need from flywheel out.. Basically all ford racing.

New windshield? Put a hood into your last one? (i would know from experience)

As for the heads, I can't really say either way lol I had e7 heads stock and just put on trickflow heads and love em!

BBK long tubes

Good choice. Make sure you buy SN-95 headers. Fox ones DONT fit.

BBK or MAC off road H Pipe and MAC cat back

Buy the mid pipe that matches the headers. different bands fit differently.

BBK cold air intake fenderwell.

waste of money. Ebay CAI

Changing all fluids to Amsoil and thinking rear gears but like my gas milage ( i know i know)

A set of gears isnt going to hurt your gas mileage nearly as much as you think. Some people have actually noticed an increase in mileage. You may as well because of the 3.08 gears you have stock.

Next what i was thinking was porting the gt40 cobra heads but when i keep looking at gt40x for under 6 bills delivered and assembled its kinda hard to move forward. I love the sound and power of the TFS1 cam and a great tune would be just fine..

The heads you have now will suit you well. Dont bother porting them unless you are having it done preofessionally.
As for a cam choice. I like the XE276HR. However, a XE270HR-14 wouldnt be bad either.
And the GT40X heads... thats 6 bills assembled.... each! Might as well just Buy AFR's or Trickflow's at that point.

Sorry was looking more at the tri cylinder heads late the other night u can get the gt40p for 6 bills but the swirl is not to much farther off. Ok so heads are now out would love to port them stil but ill take your word. Im hoping a cam will liven it up with the heads then..
Since we are talking about the cam should it be a issue with the top end she has 93k on her. Im thinking springs must be checked or better yet replaced and im hoping the rockers will be fine.
The cold air i was looking at some that AMERICAN MUSCLE had on sale for this month and they have like a 70 cheapo that people are loving also.

I was trying to educate myself a little more on how the gear situation, would be and 2250 would be about 65 for the 3.73 i was also looking at shift points and were you would be grabbing at it all comes to about the same rpm (each set of gears) let off to grip but at different MPH intervals seems like your car would work about 2x the amount to get to a shift point from the extra MPH it has to achieve. So the 3.73 i think and a full installation kit with bearings will be needed.. CJ looks good but im more interested in the kind of bearings they use. I want to find a company that has uses Timken Bearings if not i need to spec them out and find replacements that could use the same seals. Great thing about school since this is what we are learning for drive train and suspension i can write the parts off on my taxes :headbang:

Im thinking rims might wait im diggin hardcore the OE replica 10th anv wheels.. Would love to see a 17/18 combo?
The CJ clutch kit should be here soon and im thinking of getting the Steeda short shift to help out operations. Basically going to have the bellhousing back done with new stuff (excluding the nice new ford racing driveshaft :dontknow

The windsheild YEAH lets say when you go for a brake check after you spend 2 days finding those dam clips that others forget to put in for the cobra brakes :violent1: Dont let a semi be in the lane next to you and hit you with rocks :angry7: Stupid rock chips can become spiders with one pothole.
Both BBK and MAC use a similar male/female adaptors..

Thanks for the info anything anyone wants to give for advice ill take into consideration..

swirls are still a waste of money. Again, If you plan to get heads, Look towards AFR, TFS, and similar makers.

Any cam swap you do will require new springs. Your rockers should be fine, but a valve job and new guides would be a good idea IF you are taking the heads off at all.

People love the 303 cams, and honda civics too.. get a CAI off ebay, its about $45. And is the same damn thing!

What the f*ck kind of nonsense are you babbling here? Grabbing, Grip... wtf? Are you a ricer convert?

It saddens me to see you wasted your money on a FRPP clutch kit...

Both BBK and MAC use a similar male/female adaptors..

If going with LT's, its irrelevant. Different manufacturers dont always line up their pipes in the exact location as others.... Keep your headers and mid pipe, of the same brand.

Thanks for the info anything anyone wants to give for advice ill take into consideration..

Yea, we've seen what kind of consideration you give to "advice".

heads, cam, and all the other little stuff would be about the price or less then AFR. 1. This is just for fun and something to work on with friends ccasion14: 2. not going to be the engine that stays in the car why spend big bucks?

So your saying you didnt look at anything that i said or posted ok let me run you threw what im talking about :book1:
3.08/3.73 - Both gear sets will run you threw the 1st gear (say 5900 rpm) and when you shift to 2 gear you will be around the same RPM (3200 rpm 3.08/3400 rpm 3.73)
The part that is the biggest difference is the speed at which you exit and enter into each gear
3.08 5900 rpm 1st = 42mph 2nd = 73mph 3rd = 105mph ect
3.73 5900 rpm 1st = 34mph 2nd = 60mph 3rd = 87mph 4th 118mph
*All based off a 275/35R18 rear tire
So if you looked at the weight of the vehicle and the force thats driving it having the steeper gears helps overcome the weight issue by keeping you in short bursts of power. You just sacrifice top end.
Sorry to use grip and grab in the same sentence or context it looks as if it confused you.
Never owned a ricer always have had a v8 mustang since i have had my license. The issue of education is to know why people are saying steeper gears are better for performance instead of just taking their word and still having no clue why. Maybe you can live with telling everyone that when i hit the gas it feels faster :dontknow:

What the hell is that all about ?

 

[duh09]

The eBay CAI is identical to American Muscles. Identical. CAIs don't do much except a bit of shiny under the hood so why spend more money when you don't have to?

 

[mustangspartan]

Last one my buddy picked up from ebay he got a summer out of it before it started to pit and the hoses cracked. I like being able to open my hood and look at something that looks made for my vehicle and how BBK, MAC, ect (brand names) have always been durable.

 

[Addermk2]

My ebay CAI has been in my car since 2005....

seems durable enough to me.

 

[mustangspartan]

Idk it's a hit or miss on items from eBay for me I either get a deal or complete crap. Either way I'll buy one or build one.

Mine has been there for 3 yrs. I recently upgraded the actual filter to a spectre filter as it was just phisically bigger and had more filter area then the other. It was only $20 and seems like it helped.
