This is great for someone who really likes the new edge style and doesn't care about trying to be a racer boy. Like upgrading an old classic muscle car. Make it sound good with enough power to burn the tires and have a good time on a weekend cruise with the wife to a car show. No matter how much money you waste there will always be someone with a faster and better looking car than you. Most people spend years dumping tens of thousands into a project car then when they finally get it perfect they usually sell it and start all over again. An endless cycle of insanity.

Yeah the Fox 5.0 and the New Edge 4.6 both are among the absolute best sounding of all time. I have a new edge with long tubes, Xpipe and flowmasters and a friend has a 5.0 fox and they both sound similar and excellent! I’ve had some 4th gen F bodies and they don’t sound nearly as good but I’ve had a couple that sounded good and had great power but these Mustangs just sound so much better! My F body handled much better but just wasn’t as much fun to drive as my new edge. It just feels so much lighter probably because it is smaller and lighter. You can just throw the new edge around easier. It just teaches you better car control in my opinion and experience. I love both cars equally but the Stang is just way more fun no doubt!

Can't beat the sound of a 2V, with proper exhaust it sounds better than most other V8's 😁😁😁😁😁

Still waiting for my nitrous tune from Lito now. Right now the car pretty much has every bolt on they make including hot rod cams still need an aluminum drive shaft. Just installed an adjustable rear upper and bracket rear lower relocation brackets and adjustable lowers and a stiffer panhard bar so hopefully next time out my 60ft will be a little better.

Got a cold air intake, bbk 78mm plenum/tb nx nozzle wet kit on a 125 shot right now using a sct iTSX to tune it. I planned on doing cams but cam across a good deal on a 2.1 Kenne bell kit, some longtubes, performance automatic shift kit, fti 2800rpm stall and a set of cheap coil overs are all currently sitting in my garage just waiting for the time to do it all. But honestly with just the cai, plenum/tb and nitrous I think it’s doing pretty good. It went 12.6@101mph the other day on the street. Just have some 315/35/17 nitto 555g2 tires think it would do even better with a drag radial. Track opens back up this coming Wednesday and I borrowed my buddys drag pack. So we will know in just a few days what it’ll do ima keep the 125 shot to start but if all goes well ima make a hit or two with a 150 shot. I’ll jump back in here and update though.

You can easily find used Vortech or Procharger kits for 2-2500 bucks. Install it with bigger fuel pump and injectors and go get it tuned. 400+ HP every time.

For all you peeps that want some power for your 2v, if you want a big cam, you NEED to buy other things to maximize all the money you spent on the cam. You’re gonna need heads, intake, exhaust and a tune. If you just throw the cam, it really wont do a ton on its own. But this is al after you basically do a tune up and bullet proof the engine if you can. More than average power on an engine that hasn’t been treated well or restored to its factory potential is either gonna disappoint with its power gains or something is gonna break. But otherwise, a really good vid.

Also BBK ceramic long tube headers into a BBK X-pipe with Flowmaster 3 chamber mufflers. The rear gear is a 3.73. It's tuned for premium fuel, It put down on the dyno 295 RWHP and 305 foot pounds of torque. Since then I've added MSD super blaster coils. I gotta tell you those coils with a higher spark woke up the car. It pulls much stronger working in conjunction with all the other bolt-ons. I'm curious what gains I've made. This car is fun to drive and the sound of those cams is music to a car guys ears!!! The cams alone was worth 29 horsepower. If you can afford it do it, you'll love the car even more!!

Short of a super car, the only vehicle that anything for me on the street was a Camaro/Firebird. I wanted a Firebird, unfortunately they were at least 5000 dollars more than a Mustang GT. Then one day I saw an Electric Green Mustang GT in the front line at Faulkner Ford. I was 22 and had to have it.

All GT's have a limited slip.. they just use a clutch/friction type limited slip not a viscous or torsen. hence the clutches wear out and the consistency of the locking decreases. they make better clutches that last a lot longer and are stronger, they are more predictable than a VLSD but still not quite as good as a Torsen type LSD.

Yeah this is what I meant to explain I realized after the video but you're right!

Stock ejectors would be close to about 100% duty cycle if you have 300 rwhp, it’s not just the pump, that’s leaning things out, you need 24 pounders, for a 300 hp target that’s the ejector to have, with a reasonable duty cycle, yet no too much, the stock fuel pump working correctly is fine, stock injectors at 300rwhp, however, would not be, it’s just the math of it. Dyno tune and the tuner himself is vital….I use don lasota, to build the start up tune, and pro racer to fine tune fuel trims, myself, and dons excellent books , don teaches tuning, and he is they guy who did in fact write most all of the teach a tuner workbooks, he is the top tuner guy. Not only for tuning, but teaching the tuner! I hit 305, it took mhs, 2.5 cams, that work fine on the stock short block, however the valve margins need to be addressed, that is a super cam, from idle to hope no cops catch me, or I am going to jail….also the heads must be ported to hit anyplace close to 300 hp, NA, so the thick valve margin is taken care of at that time, did gasket match on heads and pi intake, supercar rockers, ford lightning maf, same bbk 78 , 24 pound ejectors, but a different jlt cold air intake, and exhaust stuff, basically nick McKinney’s old budget buster build…..sad that mhs removed all of nicks old formulas, he knew his stuff. It took awhile to hit 300 rwhp with a 4.6 mod motor , and nick was leading the charge, back in the day….. Next up is making 400rwhp NA, and I have a modular, 5.0 all bore, boss block , ported trickflows 2v heads and a plan, time will tell, but I have time, the above engine is still running strong, after 5 years of beating on it, drag races, and few street ummm challenges let’s say, getting 300 rwhp in a new edge, that is 1000 pounds lighter than a coyote car, is a bunch of fun… true 300 rwhp is not an easy task, NA, but it can be done. You can not overlook anything, though, and you running lean on tune, made that point. Bet ya anything it was not the pump, but the ejectors that had you run lean!

Fuel flow requirement = (brake horsepower) x (BSFC) Example: A 300 hp naturally aspirated gasoline-powered V8 requires what size fuel injector? First, assume a BSFC of 0.50 lb/hr and injection pressure of 39.15psi across the injector. 300 hp x 0.50 lb/hp-hr = 150 lb/hr maximum total fuel flow requirement Since this is the total fuel flow requirement to the engine, we must now divide this by the number of injectors being used to determine the flow rate necessary for each injector so that you can select the correct size injector from this catalog. In this example, we have an 8-cylinder engine using 1 injector per cylinder, which gives: 150 lb/hr/8 injectors = 18.8 lb/hr per cylinder , a 19 pounder would be at its limit…….that’s my point here…..

Nice video even though I'm late to the party. I'm mid build at the moment, 2004 Mustang GT 74k miles, put stage 3 cams, 78mm throttle body, new cold air intake, different ignition coils, 4:10 rear gears, SLP Loudmouth 1s, and I'm going to have it on the dyno and get a tune, should I get heavier injectors? Believe the stock ones are 19, just figured I'd ask, also, ballpark of hp I should be pushing?

@RatchetWrenches

Thank you! And that sounds like an awesome build I'm sure it'll sound really good too! I don't think you absolutely need injectors but slightly bigger ones with a bigger fuel pump could never hurt and probably would be a good idea while you're upgrading everything! That way you never run out of fuel. I remember my stock fuel pump crapped out on the dyno up top making 290RWHP. You should see 300 easy with that set up

Can I still use the mhs camshafts if I install a kenne bell 2.1 supercharger?

You can for sure. You'd just wanna run their supercharger "blower" cams specifically so you get the most power out of them!

The 2Vs don't make a lot of power but they are such good engines. I have beat the snot out of mine for years. And I mean beat on it. 4 transmissions, clutch kits, fuel pump, lots of tires and doing just dumb shit. All of that over the years and all I ever did was change oil and plugs. Motor still chugging along sounds good as it did when I bought it. It just hit 160k

Couldn't agree more! They are pretty stout and as long as you keep up with general maintenance you'll be good

no, the stock throttle body for a 4.6 is 70mm and 65mm for a 3.8 six cylinder so 75mm is a little better

What about a pi racing intake 🤔

I have a 2004 gt, 4.6L V8, how do you find out if it's a 2V? Is the V for volt? How many different ones are there and what does it mean?

@RatchetWrenches

2 жыл бұрын

The V stands for valve. So 2v there are 2 valves per cylinder while 4v has 4 valves per cylinder. The GT's are 2v. There are 6-cylinder's, GT's, Mach 1's, and Terminator Cobras. Definitely Google it you can find all the info there it's a lot to explain in a comment

Found this on a SVT forum from couple years ago which explains it pretty well. "Kenne bell makes a kit for the stock 2v, and torq tech makes kits that allow you to put superchargers designed for the 4v motor onto your 2v. Both will replace your intake manifold, throttle bodies, intakes, fuel pumps and MAF."
