I recently took the plunge and purchased the following:
Ford Racing Cobra Jet Manifold M-9424-M50CJ
Ford Racing Cobra Jet Throttle body M-9926-CJ65 (dual blade)
Ford Racing Cobra Jet CAI M-9603-M50CJ
I delivered the car to the tuners with a stock tune and a set of ARH 1-7/8" Long Tube Headers with Cats and the Boss Side Pipe configuration.
The initial baseline run in blue was the stock tune with the ARH headers and a stock exhaust system all the way back with side pipe disks removed.
The second run in red was with the Intake, TB, and CAI installed and tuned.
The third run in green was with the Intake, TB, CAI, and a set of RTR axle backs installed.
I was very pleased overall with the numbers considering I chose to remain with CATS. I was amazed at the difference a nice set of axle backs affects the overall output numbers. Thank you Ric (vista6019) for the nice RTR's!
The dyno results give a very nice progression of what you can expect with different types of upgrades for those of you that are interested.
I went back and forth with the shop about installing a set of the CJ Intake and Exhaust cams. Overall impressions were they were not worth the time and money. I still remember my conversation with Mark Wilson on these. He said the best bang for the buck would be to just install the exhaust cams. I chose not to install any cams.
I deviated from some of the standard tuners and took the car to RoushYates Performance down in Mooresville NC. Very nice folks and very knowledgeable all around on these motors. I think the numbers speak for themselves.
Hopefully it will warm up enough in the next month, so that I can go out on the track and see what it can do.
