You will need P&P heads,vt/comp cams, full exhaust, plenum, and all supporting mods as well like pullies, cold air, ect...and a good tune of course!

Couldnt you just go with a K &N filter, instead of a cold air intake!? I heard they are no good! I too wanna reach at least 300hp!! Im goin with 4.10 gears for my next mod!

Yes a simple drop in k&N will do just fine!

Most 4V swap cars make over 300rwhp with just a couple bolt-ons; i.e. intake and exhaust depending on who assembles it for you...and that's even with B series heads.

Or you can go the Full-Tilt Bolt on GT, get the 2V's ported, intake ported, pullies, Aluminum Flywheel, Longtubes, full exhaust, etc. etc.

Minimum 4.10 gears no matter what!

I wanna know what my Cobra can do after I shove this TKO 500 and 3.73's, plus a 26 Spline Clutch into it. Tranny is lighter weight so it should save me a little weight there. Exhaust is the next thing to be done, followed by a new throttle body (DAMN THAT BUTTERFLY TB!!), or vice versa. I already have a chip in that sucker, so all im gonna need is just the parts to fill the tune!

OOO Boy but do I wanna know what rwhp I might be pushin then *dreams*

What other mods do you have MTShambles. And why the upgrade in Tranny / clutch, you must have bigger plans in order?

And I'll say this once, since you work for MT, return the 3.73's and get 4.10's MINIMUM. You probably won't be dissapointed with 3.73's...but you'll never know what it couldve been like with 4.10's. Of all the items you listed above, the only one that will make the car noticably quicker will be the gears...so Please please please get 4.10's. Depending on what other mods you have those other things fall into place. I've never seen or heard of a throttle body make HP, in any application, Forced induction, N/A, Nitrous etc on the DOHC.

Umm did I mention 4.10's?

One more time for those in the back...

4.10 GEARS

Only reason im going 3.73 is because I do highway driving every day. The tranny/clutch issue is because of three synchros being bad in my current T-45. Instead of wasting money on a rebuild, im putting in a new TKO 500 with a 26 Spline clutch. That will last me worlds longer than what ive got right now.

Underdrive pulleys and Exhaust are up on the list of things to do, just havnt gotten around to doing them yet (more the exhaust than the UDP).

Shambles...My car is a daily driver, and I make a 200 mile round trip every week in addition to driving to school and work everyday. The 4.10 gears might make a marginal difference in gas. I for one cannot tell you that the 4.10's eat gas any more than stock...much less would you be able to tell the difference between 4.10 and 3.73.

I'm just trying to give you a heads up. The performance difference from 3.73 from 4.10 is in far greater proportion then the gas consumption difference.

I still get 23-24 mpg on the highway with the gears if I behave. That's just as much if not a bit more than before the gears. if I had to do it all over again, I would have 4.30's in my car...and I don't anticipate it would make gas consumption any different.

Not busting your chops just trying to reiterate from my personal experience.

Philip K.

So, what are the chances that the driveshaft will be the right length or the cross-member will fit right? Get that info.

You want 300 ponies out of a 2V 4.6? Get a stroker kit and get ready to do alot of dissassembly. It's alot of grunt work but you'll never regret the torque you'll get.
