Teach me the n/a 4v cobra intake.

Depends on how you go about it, Trutrac, gears, good axles, install kit, fluid, labor; all ads up pretty quick. I did Richmond 4.30's, auburn limitied slip, mosier 28 splines, install kit, and spherical bushings in my 97 when I had it and dropped about 900 in parts iirc

If a positrac is desired, i wont use an auburn as Ive broke too many of them. And yes, true tracs are high. I like cobra 31 spline carbons for the street and theyre cheap...Ive built a bunch of 31s for people around here...

I assume that's the first time you've seen his avatar. I admire those anytime I see one of his posts. I'd like to see some better pics of them for sure

ya, I havent gotten on this board in forever. I didnt even know it changed untill a while ago. Hell, you can tell by my post count.

Is there anyway to port over my previous stats from the old one.

There is no way Trey has 10,000 posts over here...

Good call. Where do I inquire for this change?

The auburn was cheap, and the car didn't make much power so I wasn't too worried about it. I've known a couple people to break auburns and newer eaton's.

Longest post ever

He says it has 3.73s in it. That's what michael told him

Oh yeah, I forgot they checked the driveshaft rotation.

1200 sounds really high for a 31 spline

I had bent an axle and needed it done in a pinch by a shop.

They are 3:73s Trey. Not 4:10s

I want to do 4:56s but havent really had the money to throw at it.


Also, there is no reason to upgrade the axles, not how we drive them at least.

I forgot you guys figured that out, whoops. Even so it's a noticable difference from 3.27 to 3.73. I was planning on slicks and 6,000 RPM drops on the car that had that rear end.

LMAO, Trey is on to better things. His Caddy will eat your Mustang for a snack.

It won't be MY Caddy for at least a year.

cts-v?

Yes, I'm hoping an 09+ will be my next daily.

I kept the same FRPP 3.73s and added Auburn Pro diff, I believe Moser 31 splines, fluid, labor, etc. This was back in September 2003.

Yeah. I got Trey a test drive in Will's new 09 CTS-V with the LSA motor. Trey couldn't stop grinning afterwards. Hahah.

Those cars are amazing, there's really no two ways about it.

Then go here.

a true locker or a ford "locker"? shoot me a pm

ive done some a/m locker stuff too

oh, they have their place. I hear ya

[Vertnut]

4.10 is a womens gear. Lol.

Nothing wrong with women. They own half the money and all the pussy...

[91CoupeMike]

If it's so dumb, and so pointless. Why do people do it?

I was under the impression that torque and mid range power isn't as important when running a steep gear, that's why you delete the imrc plates, or else you'll just burn the tires off.

I'm not talking about making Max power, beating a zo6 or winning a race. Just a n/a build.

With the proper set up, intake and cams how many rpm can the stock bottom end hold up? I know the rods are the weakness for power but what about rpm?

I'm just guessing at 7700-8000rpm, which is ideal.

The 5.0 cammer from ford racing is a bad bitch. 400hp at 8000rpm with 375trq.

You guys said the cams will hold you back, so upgrade the cams, and wind that bitch up!

[SVT Lurch]

If it's so dumb, and so pointless. Why do people do it?

Because it's expensive to build an N/A 4V the right way and to make "good" power. Much easier/cheaper to go with boost/bottle.

You can do almost anything you want, it's just a matter of how much trouble you want to go to to do something. We had a Mystic on the old board with an LS1 swap. It would have made good power if it ever ran (I don't think it ever did, anyone remember and care to elaborate?).

[91CoupeMike]

Well whoever said my dream 4v n/a build had a budget?

Lol like I said just gaining general knowledge not wanting to build it or anything just wondering the theory of it all.

[VaderTT]

Highest numerical gear I ever had was a 3:27 and it ran well, single turbo 20psi boost.

[DON SVO]

I would be more than happy to run you with my n/a cobra with my women's gear

I would like to run you in my NA 4V with an even WOMANLIER 3.73 gear
