I did headers and GT350 half shafts and have cut 1.4 60 foots with no issues… they were only like $400 … the driver side which usually snaps has almost 8lbs more material and does not have the taper on the shaft (where GT tend to snap)
go both.
I swear some are trying not to understand on purpose.
RPM is noooo problem… you will run out of lift and duration far before RPM can even become a problem
rev limiters ARE a problem, they are violent on timing chains and tensioners as well as oil pump and crank sprocket gears
Raising redline is more about safety for the engine… it’s better to float valves north of 8k then to hit the rev limiter for longevity.
i.e. the 7800 rpm rev limiter is harder on the engine than 8500rpm is
Person/shop… one of the original aftermarket mustang tuners who goes back to the early 90s, he’s basically a legend in the mustang world. A lot of articles in MM&FF and old 5.0 magazine etc.
just a well trusted shop/source.
The risk is the cats clog and you blow a ringland in a piston.
The gains (if keeping cats) aren’t there to justify even doing headers. Not for under 800HP
2” headers are for over 1200HP…
if you’re leaving cats on don’t waste time with headers and go stage 1.
it’s either or… either stock cats/headers and stage 1 OR off-road LTH and stage 2.
This is why ford is pushing for their new EV platform/universal manufacturing process.
their “new model T moment”
it’s easier to start clean sheet into the future… and that’s the plan, the next 100 years of Ford.
A lot of people test, on my facebook groups people have cars with ethanol content gauges
so there should be a local network community consistently sharing and updating stations content.
look in your area for something like this
yep… took my nephew to the zoo this weekend, nice 200 mile fall cruise
It’s not really all about the huge rwhp at max rpm.. the extra 2-300ft/lb TQ low rpm cruising is incredibly useful and fun
