I’m planning some mods over the winter. I want to stay NA at least for the foreseeable future. I do about 4 track days a year and 6 Auto-x as well. The Auto x is just for fun so I don’t care about getting bumped into higher class due to mods. I currently have Steeda CAI, Letha H pipe with weld in high flow CAT and AED tune. I’m planning on getting a baseline dyno next week since I don't have one after I put the CAI, H pipe and tune. My stock dyno numbers were 352 HP & 342 TQ on a Mustang Dyno which is why the #’s are lower than what people see on Dyno Jet.
I guess my only options at this point are to go E85 and Boss manifolds. I realize that the verdict on the Boss is that I will lose low end TQ but gain high end HP. Great for the track but not so much for the street. Do you guys think that the addition of the E85 will negate the low end TQ lose? Would throwing in a TB help as well?
Would also like to add that I see in stock form the 5.0 drops off after 6500 RPM. Even if I decide to keep the 7000 redline I see thatt he BOSS will pull all the way to 7000 instead of dropping off. Maybe I'll up it to 7,200 but no further. Worried about engine life.
