Going to Summit Need next mod

mazza89 · April 24th, 2010, 11:31 PM

Hey everyone-

I am going to Summit in the morning and I need to think of what I want to do next. I am not getting headers right now and the cam swap will be a summer project. I was looking to get some bolt on I don't have yet. Maybe a larger throttle body? Any Suggestions on the TB size or another part? (my current mods are in my sig) Also while I am there I think I am gonna get the cross drilled and slotted rotors and some brake pads. I wanna go with the cobra brakes but I don't think I am gonna drop the money on them now.

Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks!

get the 78mm throttle body and plenium from bbk. ITs a good part especially for the price.

got some gears in it yet???

^ definately go with some gears, if you do lots of highway driving go with 3.73s, if you dont then go with 4.10s

I don't have gears in it yet... I would like to but it is my daily and it came with the 3.27 in it. (I believe that is the ratio) I already get terrible gas mileage and I feel like gears will mess me up more. I will be taking it back and forth to SC several times this summer. The pi intake and o/r h pipe actually gained me 3 mpg so I'm looking for something that will help even more.

You guys think the bbk tb and plenum are good at 78mm? Now I have some time not going till Friday now(too tired this morning)

Thanks again

the v6 mod will get you better gas mileage

war1ock · April 25th, 2010, 04:14 PM

Are you sure 78mm will be good. I read somewhere going that big on a N/A car isnt good.

mazza89 · April 25th, 2010, 05:10 PM

haha... I will take the v6 mod into consideration, but unfortunately I have to have the best of both worlds right now(power and gas). But ya that is what I was worried about, I dont know if the tb is going to be worth it, considering i still have the npi heads and cams.

No whatever you read is backed up by nothing. Theres been a large debate about it. I have a 78mm on my car right now, I have the supercharger off and my car runs fine. The only gain you'll see is at WOT, so it wont hurt your gas mileage.

97Dustang · April 25th, 2010, 05:48 PM

^ are you going to be selling your supercharger?

mazza89 · April 25th, 2010, 06:23 PM

Ill have to do some more research into the different throttle bodies but that sounds like it is going to be my next mod. Unless anyone has anything I have forgotten like I said right now gears headers and cams are out.
