PI Intake swap complete

96GTRagTop · September 23rd, 2007, 05:55 PM

matt didn't have a pre dyno of the car, just after he did the swap

even so, matts numbers are way off because he used an AWD dyno, and the dyno was approximately 5500feet above see level.

jbm5781 · September 23rd, 2007, 06:33 PM

Ouch yeah thats gonna hurt his numbers. I'm lucky enough to live about 60 miles from the mississippi coast. So im not much above sea level at all. I still haven't gotten to a track yet though

caintcatchmyGT · September 23rd, 2007, 06:55 PM

So i just started up the car and the manifold didnt leak! hell ya!! However the sensor that we had to drill and tap in the aluminum crossover...ya it leaked. my buddy that helped me didnt put any teflon tape on it so we wrapped it in teflon tape and its good to go! I took it around the block keeping it betweend 2k and 2500rpm and checked it, nothing ...then drove it from my buddies house getting on it pretty good and no leaks! I caint wait to take it to the track now!

jbm5781 · September 23rd, 2007, 07:10 PM

Oh you're gonna love it man. Have fun but don't run it too hard too often yet. Give it time to seal really good before you go beatin the shit out of her on a regular basis.

caintcatchmyGT · September 23rd, 2007, 07:13 PM

I usually dont drive my car that hard, but ya i see what your sayin...thanks

jbm5781 · September 23rd, 2007, 08:12 PM

Same here... I don't get to enjoy what little power my car has unless I am out in the middle of nowhere or getting onto a highway. Sucks but its fun when I get the chance

MustangMatt96GT · September 23rd, 2007, 08:17 PM

Mine gets 5500 + RPMS Daily! lol

nes · September 23rd, 2007, 08:26 PM

+1 matt, us young guys have to live up to our teenage years and drive the living crap outta our mustangs

. ps send me your pi swap, i need it

(jp)

MustangMatt96GT · September 23rd, 2007, 08:31 PM

naw im going to have a killar 2V with my PI swap, not for you.

BTW by doing the PI swap now u need cams in there to complement the PI intake!!

jbm5781 · September 23rd, 2007, 09:11 PM

Oh to be young again... enjoy it while you can guys... before you know it you'll be working a full time job and wondering when the hell you'll have time to change your oil and where you'll find the money to do your next mod...

caintcatchmyGT · September 23rd, 2007, 09:55 PM

I already have PI heads and comp cams waiting to go on, but i am fixin to leave for korea for a year and my other intake was cracked so i had to do this to hold me over. if it wasnt for the fact that i am getting a forged shortblock i would have gone on and put the PI heads and all on.

I caint drive it hard all the time cause i am running rich and i need a good tune. right now i am gettin 16mpg and thats granny shifting for the most part. I need a tune bad!

MustangMatt96GT · September 23rd, 2007, 09:59 PM

lol 14 MPG here! But it does see the track every week around 7 passes too!

caintcatchmyGT · September 23rd, 2007, 10:05 PM

I HAVE TO GET A DAG GUM TUNE! thats the bottom line! lol

Casper98GT · September 24th, 2007, 12:57 AM

Hey fellahs. Matt....you havent put the PI swap on yet!! Seems like its been forever since i have been on here.

Just let the silicone sit over night...no need to wait days on end to open that bitch up. Let her scream up in the rpms now. Dont let out of it at 5. Take it right up to 6k. and thats about where you'll run out of breath again due to youre heads. The mismatched ports kinda put a burden on things.

Anywhoo...glad you got it together. When i put the PI cams in....wow. SO much better in the rpms. Felt like a brandnew car.

Matt....here is the new whip. Bought it 2 weekends ago. And couldnt wait to spend money. Bought it all stock except flows, underdrives, and 3.55's.

96GTRagTop · September 24th, 2007, 01:00 AM

Caspers right about not having to wait days on end......i brought my car up to 6k.....and every once in a while just for shits i let her rip as i'm pulling down the block...no leaks or nothing. So far I'm exactly 1 week into the intake swap.

MustangMatt96GT · September 24th, 2007, 01:00 AM

Hey casper! Good looking ride there! I have been watching ur troubles with the trick flow stuff! And well i dont have the money to get my cams and everything yet, I just bought my prostars! Anyway! lets stay on topic and ill PM u!

did you get this kit?

jbm5781 · September 25th, 2007, 10:16 AM
