You will find that NOS is not cheap. You can blow out a whole bottle in a couple of minutes when you are on it and then its $25 or so to refill it. Also, to be safe when on the bottle you need to run racing fuel($5.60 a gallon).
dammit, you have to drive upstate and give me a ride in that car! it is one NICE looking car, and as I can see it really backs the looks up with power. Head porting seems like a good idea, I'll have to look into it thanks!On 2001-12-26 19:42, JAM1775 wrote:
There is a guy, Jeff,who's tel # I have left at work: "Modern Cylinder Head ", 810 area code. He does ALL the warranty work for Ford Racing who recommended him to me. That is quite a good reference as when I called Jeff in early 2000 he had 11 sets of customer GT40 heads to be worked on by him.
His shop is very close to the Ford Racing Tech Line location. My apologies for being vague but I can tell you I have a 351W which produced [email protected] on the dyno. I shipped Jeff my GT40X heads for a total of $455, which includes $100 Round Trip shipping fees. For $355 shop labor he touched up my bowls, chambers and flat milled my heads from 64- 55 cc's. I port matched my own intake to the felpro 1262 gasket. My gain was 42rwhp which was [email protected] a higher 6000rpm. My RWTQ gain was from 337 to 361. Not too bad for a total cost of around $550 including head gaskets. I pulled and installed the heads myself. Otherwise the Edelbrock 70001 nitrous (50/75/100) kit will cost just under $600(with all goodies) if you install that yourself. So, I guess if you have $1100-1200 you could pick up some serious HP and not pull your motor. BTW, I just ordered the Edelbrock kit too!!
What convinced you that the spiralmax thing worked for you? I'd also like to stay away from running electric stuff. I might swtich to an electric fan, But thank you for your input. I'll check some of the local machine shops once it gets warm again, I should be getting a inturn at Kodak for welding through my college, so I HOPE i'll have the money for some NICE mods!On 2001-12-30 14:34, masterd wrote:
Also another idea is to put a electric water pump you can get 30hp from doing that. Go to
http://fordmuscle.com/archives/2000/08/electricwaterpump/index.shtml
to find out more info. And you can get up to 20hp gain to change your oil to Roal Purple oil. You can buy it a Napa Auto Parts. And you can buy a winage tray that will gain like 12hp by less oil drag on your crank shaft. Also try to buy a Mac underdrive pulley's that will gain like 10hp. With like less than 500.00 you can get like 70hp. Like 90hp with spiral max
