HOW DO I MAKE MY 4.6 FASTER NA: Answer.

[youlost]

314rwhp is almost enough to make me get cams. What cam was that that you put in anyway?

Comp Cams Extreme Energy Camshafts SOHC-Hot Steet Cam, Duration in/ext 274/278; @0.050 236/240

The curve on the dyno sheet is just smooth. Dan at DB really made me happy. I told him i'd be happy with 300..

Hows your PTV clearance with that and what did it do to your mpgs? Did you go to 3.73's or 410's? Sorry I'm trying to figure out what I wanna do here.

Sweet35th go ahead and delete this I got my info through PM's. Thanks!

Actualy if you want to post the info to your questions, that would be some good info to leave up.

I asked him about PTV clearance because some of the more aggressive grinds that you can get through CompCams can require you to use notched pistons so that your valves don’t interfere with the pistons (that’s bad ). From everything I have read off Stangnet and Modular Depot this issue does not happen if you use VT cams but it can happen on certain CompCams even ones they say you shouldn’t have that problem with. I’ll go look back and see what the grinds are that people have problems with. I guess he’s grind was fine with stock pistons for PTV clearance.
I also took advantage to get more info on what he got for his other mods.
Youlost said that the Plenum, cat back, and pulleys netted him an about 15 hp otherwise we had basically the same mods. I dynoed at #1 Roofer bone stock at 232rwhp (I’ll post torque later when I see it again) when I first got my stang for a baseline. I installed CAI, 70mm TB, Mac LT’s & gutted Pro Chamber and then dynode last year at HiTech and I had something to the order of 246rwhp.
Youlost also said he made the 270rwhp with no tune and just a Steeda T/A. He did not suggest a Timing Adjuster if you are going to get a tune because all that can be done with a tuner so the T/A would be wasted money.
He’s another happy 4.10 gear user, so that’s one more vote for that route.
He said before the gears he could still get 25-26mpgs and 24-25mpgs after gears on road trips with all his mods. He also promised to let us in on what his mpg’s are like now with his cams installed.

I’m thinking I am going to talk the wife into going down to rock falls this weekend with me to see how he pulls in the quarter mile after all these mods.

your car is a he???

I changed the wording there, but I am still curious how you read it like that.

[punch]

Hell yah, very good numbers

4.6Ls ROCK

If only it wasnt so expensive to get over that 300hp mark.

it still says he.

I never got a wedding invitation!




What new mods did you do to him anyway?

[Xtort]

bah.. you guys suck. heh. I was talking about Youlost, he's the guy that installed the cams and has 314rwhp. I guess I didn't explain all this very well.

[youlost]

the rock on April 8... sorry took so long to post

13.092 @107.81

Stock tires, no traction from launch or into 2nd! 60' was 2.059.

[KickAssFlash]

I'm reading your sig...and do I understand this right, youlost? You gained over 40 RWHP and 40 RWTQ from headers?

[mnstang]

and what is a gutted prochamber xtort??? i have a prochamber, it's wide open in there, i don't know what you could possibly gut?

That refers to the fact I have no Cats, Someone told me once that you can get them with hiflow cats. But sometimes people tell me things that they know little about. Such as, until today at Hitech because I believed bs that people told me I thought that there wasn't much to gain from a catback on a 4.6L. After they tunned my car and added the UDP's we decided to see if the catback was only worth 1-2 hp like I kept hearing. Sweet35th dropped the catback off and made one last pull. There is 7-8rwhp and 5-6rwtrq to be harvested, Damnit! I would have done it YEARS ago if I knew that.

BTW, since my last post I have added a BBK 70mm TB, Accufab Plenum, Mac Underdrive Pullies, and an awsome dyno tune from Hitech.
Best numbers from today with the catback on.
262.5rwhp-297.59rwtrq
With out catback..Hrmm
269.29rwhp-303.45rwtrq
I'm very pleased
This means if I get the right cams I am right in line for 300+rwhp all I need is 30-35rwhp.

Edit: As of June 17th I've pulled a 13.914 @ 99.64mph with some room for improvement.
