Quick intro and injector??

[slvr08gt]

Hey everyone, Im rather new to the site and the S197 community. I was a member on SVTP for thr longest time with owning two 04' Cobras. I got sick of all the little problems that came with them so traded in my last Cobra for a 08' GT. Ive owned my new mustang for about 2 months now and have done the following mods so far: JLTII CAI, SCT Livewire(Bama Torque tune), Custom Bassani X-pipe with Magnaflow hi-flow cats, Flowmaster axleback, Helix powertower TB spacer, Eibach Pro-kit springs, 20X9 rims, Nittos, Shelby spoiler, DG customs chin spoiler, 1/4 window louvers and side scoops. Anyways, im looking at going forced induction. Im leaning towards the turbo route. I have owned 5-6 turbo cars in my life and understand how they function and the dynamics of them very well. I feel that alot of people that have problems when adding a turbo to their car dont know turbos well. Moving on again, I would like to get a tuner kit and was wondering if the 03-04 Cobra stock 39lb injectors are a direct fit with our S197 Mustangs???

yes, the 39lb Cobra injectors will fit with no problem.



Ditch the throttle body spacer

Why ditch the TB spacer? I actually noticed some slightly better throttle response and +3 MPG after I installed it. Just curious?? Thanks for answering the injector question. Nick

Welcome to S197Forum.com, Nick!!

And you probably already know this, but the bottom end on the 4.6L 3V is not nearly as stout as the Termi's. So, don't expect to reach stratospheric power levels and keep it alive. While there are some exceptions, conventional wisdom puts the stock motor's limits in the 450-500 rwhp range.

Wow thats pretty weak! I was thinking the bottom end was more in the 550-600 range. Oh well, my goal in the meantime is for a reliable 475-480 RWHP DD. After a year or so, I might go for a full build. Thanks for kind welcomes everyone. Nick
