modular motors LOVE boost, they suck it down like candy. It's almost as if these motors were designed for forced induction.



Don't come crying to us when you hate your car cuz it's a pain in the ass to drive.
I've got your 2nd paragraph and let me tell you it Idles fine with .550 lift cams. Of course I raised the Idle RPM. Don't FEAR the CAMS! Pull up to a light with my set up and all heads turn to look. Lo se the SHAKER HOOD and get a GROUND SHAKER. I never did understand why someone would belong to a "MUSTANG COLOR CLUB" what gives is your's faster than say a RED one?:bash:
