so im doing a build over winter. Its going to stay N/a, i ran a 13.6 @ 105 on street tires. with my lil mods i have. I want to run low-mid 12's in spring time. I will be running DR's,cams,3.73 or 4:10's, and heads. Im also going to be getting an intake manifold. I can't seem to find much information on any of them. typhoon, P-51, track heat,the track heat comes in a twin throttle body's single? im stuck right now on what to get. I really don't want to lose torque. so any information would be much help thank you.

do it on the stock manifold. you can go low 12's on a stock short block.

 

[Slow_Stang]

yah, i know, but iv'e heard the tfs manifold is about 25 hp, and with cams it helps out a lot more?

Stock


These other manifolds weigh more and the get heat soak. So the 20lbs that gets added to the front of the car with take away whatever little gains you may get in a mostly stock n/a 2v

not 25 on anything stock or mild built.

Jivepepper is running the TFS intake, but he's boosted... I haven't heard of anyone going any other route with an intake other than the stocker.

 

[Slow_Stang]

stock it is, thanks, any recommendations on cams/ heads?

 

[SWEET2KSTANG]

i personally recommend hitech for both. most major head porting places will do a pretty good job, and comes down to personal preference.

 

[Slow_Stang]

i just sold my sleds for 12grand, so i got money to play with but i want to go n/a lol. how about long tubes, and a shorty h-pipe, or x?

 

[SWEET2KSTANG]

dont know what all you got, but i went 12.8 on bone stock long block and most bolt ons.

mac off/r x-pipe,slp loud mouths back,bbk throttle/plenum,steeda pulleys, s&b intake, sct, tune.short shifter.

Id go with Longtubes, o/r X pipe (shorty) then HiTech Stage 2 Cams, either Foxlake or Trickflow Heads. You'll see a huge gain through all of those. Then while your doing your longtubes, go with the UPR Tubular K-Member. All that, Im sure you'll be running mid 12's.

i didnt have much more than that, i was on slicks but still on stock front tires.

i'd pray he's faster than that.

If you don't mind spending the money

I would do the tfs heads and modular head shop cams
longtubes and mid pipe
as for gears I would do 4.10s and not drag radials. I would do a 26x10x15 et drag slick.

 

[Slow_Stang]

comp cams are not any good?

 

[suprajay79]

+1 for TFS heads, but wait until our guinea pig (yellow02) finds the right cam/profile to maximize performance. He's spent more than a little bit trying to get these heads to push the power he wants (more than 350 rwhp) and is doing everyone who's been looking at these heads a big favor in R&D.

 

[86er]

if you have 12k to play with yank the motor and make it a 5 liter. Then do the heads/cam/long tubes and really light that wick

 

[Slow_Stang]

keeping the lil. 4.6, ordered my k-member,long tubes,mid x-pipe.
