I really want to see a drag test, or lap times around a road course. Has anyone run a Gen 1 with stock manifold, 3.73's, and M6 down the 1320 and then upgraded to the 18 and seen a difference? My buddy put one on his 331 geared car and did not improve, but he was having some issues that night...
I am having such a difficult time pulling the trigger on the ported 2018 intake. It seems to only do better above roughly 6500 rpm. Yes, it has a ton more hp at say 7200rpm, but if you shift at 6800 rpm instead of 7500rpm, which one is quicker in the 1/4 mile? I am assuming you have to raise...
I am leaning towards the ported 18 IM for cost and to keep CA smog compliant. I figure they won't even know I swapped the manifold if I go with an 18. I fought smog enough with my Foxbody. I don't want to deal with that battle again with the 14. I am just afraid of torque loss at 4k rpm. I...
Yes, hold the TC button down to turn it off all the way and this bog mode would get triggered. My buddy's Shelby GT500 even does it!! I got a 1.79 60ft my first time out somehow on the Pirellis, but the next time I started launching a little harder and every time I though I had the perfect...
No, I don't even have any drag tires yet and racing on these OEM Pirellis sucks! It also isn't consistent with this stock tune since it decides to shut the throttle down to 30% eventhough my foot is on the floor when it senses too much torque off the line. Ridiculous. I just launched softly...
Sorry, old thread but wondering how the tune went. Did you go with Lund? I am about to pull the trigger on a mail order Lund tune. I wanted AED, but he won't do mail order for me and we can't find a date that works for both of us. Lund is much cheaper since for AED, I have to do a $500 dyno...
Hmm, Lethal has a power pack with an 18 manifold, JLT CAI, SCT X4, and Lund tune. Maybe I'll just go with Lund since I'm not finding time to go to AED. Just trying to figure out if it is cheaper to piece it together myself. I also already have a tuner, but it was bought for my 12 Coyote F150...
I think that is a cool idea with the wheels and a fun tire combo that should satisfy your needs. Love that rearend setup. Wish I had the coin to do the Griggs stuff.

I am trying, but I can’t find the time to go to his shop. I have to take a day off of work, so this tune is getting expensive too!

Yeah, it is a stretch. Especially since I got a 1.79 60ft on that run. My buddy has run 11.7 @ 116mph with his 14 with an offroad H and AED tune with stickies and 3.31’s. Hopefully I can get there!

Car only has 12k on it. Got it with 10.8 and I think the original owner babied it. I am beating the crap out of it and loving it. Just have GT500’s on it so far and a drop-in K&N. Clutch shifts fine at the limiter, which I hit a lot now because it is at the stock setting. Hopefully AED will...
First step is an AED tune and drag tires. Intake would be next. The tune is tough because Shaun won’t give me an email tune and I just don’t have the time to take the day off of work and go to the dyno.

Anyone have a link to a stockish 11-14 dyno graph before and after the swap? Or 1/4 mile speeds and et’s? Is the extra rpm usable with the stock clutch or will the sticking to the floor problem arise when trying to go over 7k? Also, what about the OPG’s? Do they need to be swapped before...
I love the sound of the GT500’s. I have the Lethal OTA’s ready to go on along with the JBA H pipe. I will run it first with the cats. I am going to guess that half of the mid pipe gains are from the fact that the stock pipe tapers way down to like 2 1/4” after the cats. Eliminating that...
Dude, that thing is seriously bad ass!! My dad has a 68 F100 short bed that he bought in 69, but it is rotting away! He used to drag race it when started with my XT350 and then my 93 Mustang. It ran a sad 17.2 with a reman 390, 2 barrel, and horrible 4 speed with granny and a worn reverse...
They will be here Tuesday, and I did get the 6% off. Thanks for the response. My JBA H-pipe showed up today. I am trying to decide if I put the exhaust on and then go see Shaun at AED or if I put an18 intake on first.

I just replaced my loved Foxbody that I had for 23 years which burned up in the California wildfire, along with our house and everything else. I picked up a 14 Track Pack to ease the pain. I baselined it bone stock at the track and now it is time to mod it. I just put GT500 mufflers on it and...
I was about to order one and save it for when I am ready to install, but now I am nervous reading about them showing up broken. Where exactly are the breaks? Should I take a chance for $260 or get it locally when available? If I have to pay $400, I'll probably pass. If I can get it for $260...
Do we need to jump on these before they get more expensive? I just got my 14 and am starting to mod but I have to take it slowly. Just lost my 93 Fox with a supercharged Dart based stroker in the CA wildfire, along with our house and everything else. Are there any downsides to this intake...
Anyone using either of these?

I just ordered GT500 mufflers. I looked under the car and saw that there are big restrictions in the h-pipe and over axle pipes...
What I thought was to Torsen was actually the AdvanceTrac system. I turned off traction control but didn't hold the button down to also enable the AdvanceTrac. With it off, it is more predictable and swings around all over the place like I expect it too. LOL. Once I get the shitty Pirelli's...
Lol, feels like 15 but probably closet to 5 seconds. My best speed was 110.11mph in the limiter. If the headwind wasn’t so strong I would use 5th. Best ET was 13.594 on my 13.58 dial in. 1.847 60ft on that one at 109.97mph. 2nd best was the 12.598 @ 109.74 with 1.779 60ft. Had two...
