Wowsers, nice job man...looks so well-done and smooth! Got any numbers for us?

ampedout · 09-16-2005, 12:21 AM

No numbers. I am assuming around 210hp - 178tq as of now. With a tune and an intercooler I hope to reach 240hp - 205tq. We will see, not much tuning available in my area and low on cash but soon I hope.
'
My last dyno netted me: 136hp - 132tq

The above dyno was with: (without full exhaust missing a Bosal flex) OBX shorty, RT cat, Magnaflow 2.25 catback, Screamin D wires/coil, FR stg2 cams, esslinger UDP and cam gears, FC 65mm TB, and AEM CAI

So from then, im up to my current mods, and thats what I am assuming. I want so badly to just go do one run to see where im at!

Well, mad props to you for the work alrighty completed... very nicely done!

Yeah, things have come together nicely. Not to say I havent ran into problems though. But they was shared by a fellow focusfanatics member in my area. Overall we have learned a ton and enjoyed everything.

The stock Vortech tune is indeed conservative and runs rich most the time. I know its holding me back a lot. Plus I still have my 70 MM MAF I need to incorporate. My lightweight flywheel coupled with my vortech and other mods sure does allow me to get up and go. I just do not have the top 4th gear I once had. =S

its the prettest thing I ever seen oh and where did you get the header wrap and how much was it ?

ampedout · 09-16-2005, 12:52 AM

I was going to get mine from www.summitracing.com but decided not too as my headers had arrived that day. So, instead I went to Napa, they had the wrap but had to order the spray.

They sold the same brand as summit for both the wrap and spray.

Napa charged: $45.00 for 2in x 50ft of wrap / $12.00 for Spray
Summit is cheaper and I would get the steel cable ties as well.

what do you mean spray? You got it at napa really and was that enough wrap to wrap your headers and intake tube?

ampedout · 09-16-2005, 01:00 AM

Just enough, had about 2 feet left over. The spray protects the wrap from water getting under your wrap and rusting your header. I wouldnt wrap without it.
