Notice the different bracket made of aluminum for the ignition coil.








The pullies, next. For those who havent seen the difference between an underdrive crank pullie and the stock one, its completely night and day. The underdrive is just WAY smaller.








Now, the front shot. Looks more roomy in there. The relocated coolant resevoir. The CAI that I tried to line up with that coolant hose. The 70mm TB with the spacer. The homemade bracket for the throttle cable and ziptied the cruise control cable to the rear.

---------------------

Thats about it folks. Ran it at the track and pulled off a best of 15.331 @ 91mph. I knew I could have hit a 14.9 no problem, but it just wasnt my night, I guess. haha. Once I hit the best, I couldnt get any lower.

Dynojet numbers? Started off with 171rwhp and peaked at 180rwhp with 215rwtq. Have the following mods:

Dual Flowmasters Super 40s, MAC Longtube Headers, Dynomax H-Pipe, MAC Underdrive Pullies, Windstar Upper Intake Manifold, 70mm Power Throttle Body, Custom PVCPipe Cold Air Intake, Air-in 25mm Throttle Body Spacer, 4.10 Gears, 7.5 T-Lok, Roush Racing Springs, 9mm Ford Racing Spark Plug Wires, SCT XCal II Tuned

your only going to see 3-8 horse power... no one has dyno proven it...

this swap is best for nitrous applications as it gives a more smooth better shot into the heads with the plastic intake... also they are way more easy to work with if you were to set up a Direct port wet nitrous set up
