    Power

    JLT CAI, PHP Upper Air Intake Spacer, Snow Performance Methanol Injection and the best of all, a Lidio tune equals big power! This Ford DOHC of mine screams!!!!! I also have E3 sparks, and Sultans of Spark COPs. I smoke the tires (Nitto 285s) in first and break the rear end loose in 2nd, hard! I'm curious as to what she'll do in the 1/4 all natural, well, at least what I've done to her so far. Next on the list, 4.10 gears, a limited slip rebuild and an updated tune from Lidio. I can't wait!!!!

    If you think she's quick now, wait until you get the gears installed! You will have to get the grin on your face surgically removed.

    Way back when, my car with 4:10s and a Reinhardt tune went 14.21 @95mph.

    I have changed a few things since then! ;-)

    There has been some recent discusions on here recently re 4-10 gears or 4-30 gears. Justbob for one. Something to study before you purchase those gears. I also believe nothing you have done so far will make as much noticeable difference as the gear change, just my opinion!

    I like my 4.10's a lot. But after driving Justbobs car with 4.30's. I most likely would have chosen the 4.30's now.

    Snow performance on an N/A Car? I wonder how much it really helps. I think you should get to the drags!

    4.30s and forced induction doesn't the motor run out of gear when getting on it?

    with a 28" tire size, 116mph traps at 6000rpm, 126mph traps at 6500 rpm...

    I'd say with 28" tires, we could go even higher... 4.56s would even be good; or switching to 26" tires for the track (what I plan on doing). mustang traps 110-111 with 4.30s and 26" tires.

    Don't fear the gear!

    I was wondering the same thing and googled it.

    babbage. When the methanol kicks in, my head snaps back. It's a very noticeable difference. Sort of reminds me of a 75 shot of NOS at 3K RPMs. I bought the kit with both N/A and boost capabilities, so when I decide I need PSIs, I'm already equipped and will not have to do anything but reprogram the control module. Slick.

    I have my Snow kit start injecting at 1 psi of boost. I am going to install a snow kit on my turbo Buick as well and probably my C6 Corvette which is NA. With the Corvette I hear pinging with 91 octane.

    If you tune it just right, you can have anything you want. Like I said, mine kicks in at 3K RPMs and yours kicks in at 1 PSI. I like where my N/A is set!
