Just noticed you're motor build plans. Looks similar to what I have done and I am curious what range cams you are going with and why you did not just go with the enem 276 cams?

Another point is the head. Most that build power up high like us go back to the t5 valves because of the thicker valve stem and because they are more reliable. The stronger valve springs help with keeping them closed at high rpm and hp, but would hate to see you bend a valve after all you're hard work;)

It looks like you are planning to run a t7 head and vavles and just wanted you to know there have been quite a few of the t7 smaller valve stems that have bent under extreme conditions like racing and high hp.

Good Luck,

John

Longer runners basically are good for lower eng torque. This manifold is going to go with a built motor in the very near future so its not built for a stock 9000 motor.

The TB is a little over 3" and is an aftermarket bolt on for a Mustang. Its welded onto the 4" plenum and a 3" IC piping with a silicone coupler. The coupler is being replaced by a custom joint as soon as its finished being made. (your all going to love this little aluminum joint/coupler too!! its STUPID AWESOME!) The TB is also attatched to a custom throttle cable.

No. lol. Its a long story and I dont want to get into it on the forums. All in good time though.

I may live at home but my parents dont pay for everything for me.

Ya know, I just found out EVERYONE at my work thought my mom paid for everything for my Aero when I have put every single penny into it myself. I was offended. and yes I always pay for my vacations and trips to sweden too if you all are wondering if im a spoiled brat.

My mom buys me lunch while we work, coffee in the morning and occasionally a tank of gas when I spend all my money on car parts. ;)
