painted the down pipe and wrapped it, i also went ahead and wrapped safety wire around it to make sure it never comes loose, this thing is nearing the end:D

Oh ok cool cool, I meen I wanna do it once and never have to touch it again, I just bought 100ft of black header wrap for the tubing under the hood, If I have the money in the next year I wanna fab up an F1 style intake for it and get the heads ported, along with some aggressive cams, and a...

so you think 3.5 to twin 2.25 wouldnt flow as well as the single 3.5?? I figured it would flow like a 4inch atleast given that the drag or resistance it will encounter during the splitting on the mass of air flowing through the 3.5 inch will affect a .5", but then again this is just me in my...

Steve 17 psi! :eek: your getting me excited here man i cant wait to hear what the 1uz sounds under mad boost.. so you suggest i keep it at maybe 10-12psi with the SAFC and once i get an AEM F/Ic i can retard the ignition and go up to 17psi? on stock head gaskets?.. bro your getting me hyped up...

12psi!:D wow sweeet! sounds like a hell of alot of fun :rolleyes: lol.. I thought I would have to settle for 8 maybe 10 psi, and my engine has very low miles, what can I use to retard the ignition anyways? oh and the stock head bolts stretch at higher PSI and allow the pressure of the chamber to...

Yea the flange with the pin size hole for the oil, i got it :D.. say steve how much boost do you think the stock head gaskets will handle properly tuned A/F mixture wise with an AFPR and SAFC, I dont wanna break it lol

thanks bro yea everything is fine the only thing i removed was the lines that belonged to the stock tranny, got those out of the way, and everything seems to be doing great, the fan shroud we modded to have some more clearance for the big a** down pipe :biggrin:

I havent heard much about the t-45 I figured if it came stock in the mustang 4.6 it should handle the 1UZ being that the 4.6 has 25ft/lbs more torque and I can find them left and right around here, I can also install a mustang short shifter idk it just seemed like a good choice, if it turns out...
