Ok so I now have my Flowmaster catback, BBK 65mm throttle body, and Ebiach Sportline Springs. My I ordered my Bomz Racing cold air intake day before yesterday, and I'm bidding on a Pro 5.0 short shifter on eBay.
Yay for new parts. I am also going to get some new Monroe Sensa-Trac Struts day after Christmas. Oh and I have an appointment to get my windows tinted Friday!! I decided to go 15% all the way around. :-D

how much did the throttle body help you? did you get a decent amount of horsepower out of it?

scxc15 · December 24th, 2007, 09:09 PM

I havent installed it yet. Im going to try and install everything this weekend. First im just going to port th inlet to the mainfold and put the throttle body on and see if it helps at all. Then in a couple of weeks ill port the whole upper and lower intake.

riddlee josh · December 24th, 2007, 09:34 PM

oh ok. well let me know how it goes. im thinking bout getting a new throttle body and want to know how much it helps.

Onemanzu · December 24th, 2007, 10:59 PM

don't forget to remove the upper plenum before porting and make sure that you wash everything out and give it a good cleaning once done...

itschristorres8 · December 25th, 2007, 02:49 PM

make sure you get new gaskets.
and i hope you know what your doing with the porting
im currently porting my upper(slowly) and its not cake i'll tell you that. takes time and if your not patient then dont do it. ive only done 4 runners and HALF the intlet of the intake. the inlet is the hardest part and most frustratings

it might just be the grinding stones that im using though, im going to see if different tools work better then what i have

I found that 60 grit sand paper worked best for me around the tight corners where I couldn't get the dremel. but idk what youre doing exactly there, so, good luck! clean it well when youre done! carb cleaner works great for getting rid of the dirt and such

im talking about actually eating away the metal. or aluminum. porting it out to 70mm isnt easy. im looking at my ported intake pictures vs my porting and see i need to keep going bigger. i thought at first i was eating to much away....
now its opposite

how much are you bidding for that pro 5.0? cuz the steeda short throw on AM has a shorter throw than the pro 5.0... i have one and i LOVE it

scxc15 · December 25th, 2007, 04:11 PM

I think it's like $170 shipped to my door. I've heard Pro 5.0 is one of the best. My dad uses it in his '78 Mustang II(377 stroker)

Onemanzu · December 25th, 2007, 06:18 PM

MGW, from what i hear, is the best short throw out there... when i order one that is what i will be getting...

scxc15 · December 25th, 2007, 07:41 PM

I guess its just one of those things everyone has an opinion about lol. Has anyone found a name brand(not eBay kind) that they don't like or is giving them problems?

scxc15 · December 25th, 2007, 08:01 PM

I've been reading about the MGW and Pro 5.0 and they are both suppose to be great shifters but some say the Pro 5.0 handle is too short and if you don't have long arms in ours cars that can be a problem. So I guess I'll get an MGW instead. From the MGW website they are $179 + $9 sh. Does anyone know anywhere cheaper to get them?
