5.0 Heads/Cam/Intake upgrade **Info thread**

[Allanon]

For the money, you cannot even come close to the TFS kit. It allows you to bolt it all on and go. Then you can easily upgrade your injectors/maf later. It will net you around 290 rwhp, and have potential to go MUCH higher with some boost. Look around on Stangnet and Corral, LOTS of people have bought this kit and Ive never heard of anybody not liking it. One of my buds on Stangnet did it to his car and he swears is pulls harder than the 125 shot he had on hsi stock motor.

great info guys. poopnut, what size throttle body, injectors and fuel pump do you recommed. Also, what about the stock fuel rail? Is it ok for injector upgrades. This is pertaining to tf

All you need to go low twelves:

trick flow top end kit (even comes with the rockers)
24 LB injectors
190 intank fuel pump (good to be safe)
70 MM throttle body
75-80 MM Pro-M (dont use C&L unless you like driveability probs)
BBK or FRP unequal shorties
underdrive pulleys
16 degrees if timing
You could also throw in a Anderson N/A power pipe

Here is what mine looked like:

A few others tips would be:
Run a Xpipe instead of an Hpipe
Use a wide open cat back like SLP, Magnaflow, or Bassani
avoid the chome cold air kits like mac and BBK all they do is heat soak your incoming air

A pro-M 75 or 80 MM will be perfect.

Definately a pro-m 75 or 80mm. stay away from the 75mm bullit maf from pro-m.

 

[HUBCAP]

I didnt think you could even buy a new pro m anymore...Do they still make a optimiser?

You can...just a different name now Professional Mass Air Systems...See below from Cool Blue's Website...

PMAS 80mm Mass Air Meters are a great way to improve over your stock mass air meter. The Pro M 80mm MAF reads 360 degrees of incoming air! This is the most widely used mass air meter made. The design of the meter achieves laminar (smooth) air flow using a patented, low restriction venturi, in conjunction with a patented tapered sample tube assure accurate air flow measurement. This optimal shape outflows more air than your stock meter, finding hidden horsepower within your vehicle's engine.

The meter utilizes a low restriction of air flow, low back pressure, accurate air flow measurement; and a wide range of measurement accuracy. The meter achieves accurate air flow measurement by internal meter passages which average the air flow meter readings. Engines perform better if fuel is metered based upon the average engine air flow, not air flow engine pulsations.

NOTE: Installation will require the removal of your stock black airbox. This will not work if you run a Cold Air Induction Kit.

NOTE: THIS METER IS A PRO M MASS AIR METER. IT WILL BE CALIBRATED AND SHIPPED BY PROFESSIONAL MASS AIR SYSTEMS WHICH IS A GROUP OF EX-PRO-M EMPLOYEES THAT HAS RE-OPEND PRO M UNDER A NEW NAME AND OWNERSHIP. THIS METER IS IDENTICAL TO THE PRO M 80MM METERS THAT WE WERE SELLING BEFORE PRO M WENT OUT OF BUSINESS.

The airbox is in the fenderwell if your car even has it. I ran my aftermarket meter with a cold air kit. It hooks up the same as the regular intake hose.:shrug:
