finally decided...

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 12:02 AM

on what im doing w/ my spending money... i am going w/ the steeda tri ax shifter, 3.73 gears (full kit), sunpro tach, and a couple hours on the dyno for some MUCH needed tuning. im going to hold off on the h pipe for now, i think a big reason for me not liking the straight pipes is b/c of being at such a high rpm w/ the 4.56s so im going to do the tuning and everything else and if i still don't like it then i'll get it.

89LX347 · February 1st, 2009, 12:18 AM

what comes in the half kit of the 3:73 gears?
have you done your nitrous yet?

oh and how often are you in OK? i live in okc

93hatch · February 1st, 2009, 12:19 AM

if you wait for the h pipe after the tune when you throw it on your tune wont be accurate anymore

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 12:51 AM

no not yet, ill be picking that up around may.

not really that often, i will however be in lawton sometime in march, i might be going to okc sometime in that time.

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 12:52 AM

will the h pipe really make that big of a difference on the tune? i didn't think it would...

Iownastang · February 1st, 2009, 01:04 AM

no its not going to effect it at all..

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 01:06 AM

yea i just feel i can get a lot more out of the tuning than a h pipe, i mean my carb needs some adjusting and a lot of other little things that it can use.

Smirnoff · February 1st, 2009, 02:33 AM

Yeah the h pipe won't effect your tune

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 11:13 AM

gotcha

flattusmaximus78 · February 1st, 2009, 02:58 PM

Your not going to like your dyno numbers with straight pipes. Get a mid pipe and mufflers on there.

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 05:24 PM

ive already got a set of flowmaster 40s on there, why would i not like the #s

dr.gonzo! · February 1st, 2009, 05:32 PM

Do you have an alum driveshaft? Let me know if you have any high speed vibration whoom whoom whoom whoom lol.

flattusmaximus78 · February 1st, 2009, 05:47 PM

Straight pipes means no mufflers and no mid pipe. There for you just dont have a mid pipe......

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 06:55 PM

my bad im not up to your terminology flattus lol jk

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 06:55 PM

but why would i not like dyno results

flyin ryan · February 1st, 2009, 08:20 PM

Your not running a turbo so you need some back pressure or you'll be losing tons of low end torque... especially if the car is stockish.

mustangsoldier · February 1st, 2009, 08:48 PM

that did cross my mind the other day ryan...

flattusmaximus78 · February 2nd, 2009, 12:05 AM

Np on the terminology bro; now you know . But like Ryan says, back pressure will do you some good. If you had a big motor like an ls1 or bigger you can make power from stock headers y pipe and just slapping a cutout on. Our little 5.slows wont.

mustangsoldier · February 2nd, 2009, 12:24 AM

thanks for the heads up lol im suckin on my list now lol. i have about 700 to spend, the stuff on my list is 3.73 gears (259.99), steeda shifter (169.99) h pipe (169.99) a tachometer (100) and new plug wires (39.99) also i found a shop that would do a dyno tune for 100/hr and i budgeted two hours to be safe. so basically im trying to mix and match off that list... must have are the gears, tach and wires. from there im lost...

TKOTLARZ · February 2nd, 2009, 12:30 AM

i recommend getting the h pipe before the tune
