Ok for the mean time, I am working on my 4.6 as many have read.
I've looked through here, and seen some conflicting stories about it, but I've also seen some good things elsewhere. But I'm going to run the FRPP intake, that and Cams.
Heres what I got
4.6 Auto
Mods
EN ROUTE:
Long Tube Headers
Off Road H
ACTUALLY HAVE:
Tuner
SSS Terminators
Getting:
UDP
JLT CAI
3000RPM Stall Converter
FRPP Handling Pack
BMR K member
BMR A Arms
Upper/Lower Control Arms(manufacturer TBD)
Adjustable Panhard Bar
Also looking at minor weight reduction:
Spare
Tools
Tubular Radiator support
Removing my Shaker 1000 and just keeping the 500 head unit/speakers in car, just ditching trunk.
Aluminun DS
Now here is where I am branching off.
I have decided on getting the Hot Rods and the FRPP Intake.
That should key word being *SHOULD* net me mid 300 range.

Now I'm planning on getting a baseline done this weekend, I'll just keep my mufflers, and return it to stock.
Hoping for the normal 250-260 Auto range.
Then will be getting another with my full exhaust and 91 tune.
That with an oil change/ new plugs. I figure 68K is good for a tuneup.
Basically will update with every new mod.
I'm shooting for about 340-350 at the wheels, which even here in Hell Paso, should be worth at least low 13s.
I'm not gonna be the fastest NA 4.6 but she will scoot.
That said, since I'm running an auto, I've been thinking, the RPM difference between 4.10s and 4.30s are about 150 rpms.
And since when I'm on the highway I only do 60, I figure gas loss will be negligible between the two. What do you think?
With 18x10s out back with 275/40, which comes up to 26.something
Do you think the 4.30s would be the better option?
Also a little birdie told me I may be able to go back to Germany, so how much top end speed would I lose goin 4.30s?
I was just going to throw 4.10s in and call it a day, but I've been reading and apparently auto, and tire sizes can make 4.10s more like 3.90 or so???
So if that is correct then 4.30s would equate to 4.10s?
Anyhow, I'll be updating as I go.
