saw that the other day, pretty cool

That is pretty cool.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I wonder what costs are

 

[Bru]

Nice. Factory package with the GT350 intake manifold. Gotta be pricey. Interesting how much peak torque loss there is with the manifold compared with the other packages. Would like to see the torque curve.

 

[GLIGTO]

Pretty freaking cool, but I'd probably sooner go for one of the Roush SC packages seeing as they're such a smoking deal.

 

[blakbearddelite]

I might be interested in the first one to hold me over until I mull over getting another blower.

 

[blakbearddelite]

Ooh, just re-read and saw 'no lift shifting'. Definitely peaking my interest.

wayyyyy better aftermarket options out there.

unless someone is strictly after keeping a warranty i suppose.

google beefcake racing they have almost every power adder available and if you dig around on the forums you can catch discounts and free installs.

paxton 8 rib belt setup torque booster package on e85 people are in the 800hp range.

no cutting take it all off if you want no messing with a2w heat exchangers which im still not a fan of from dem 3800 days.

a2a + self contained blower + corn fed = no drama.

combine last package then add procharger vortech or paxton..........

I thought the GT350 intake would be specifically tuned/designed for being flatplane?

no it looses a little bottom end peak to peak gains arent that big but up top in the rpm range they tend to make like 60 more hp.

lethal performance, beef cake racing and a few others have offered gt350 manifold packages for a while now.

from what ive seen anyways the holley intake is similar it gives up a bit down low but makes big gains like 6k on up to redline.

this is what im talking about but i want to see one with the gt350 intake instead of the boss intake. its all about stages for my plan anyways.

some na bolt ons then blower and corn with out having to "demod" or take the car apart 9538486 times. kinda like building blocks if you will. forward progress instead of the mod demod cycle

thats 800 plus hp goodness that can be done little by little as the budget allows without having to go backwards and remove shit.

major major from that setup imo.

credit for that build because i didnt pull it out of my ass before someone tries to hate.

Did it actually say anywhere that the car will retain the factory warranty or some coverage from Ford Racing?

i could be losing my mind but anything from the frpp catalog retains warranty i believe. after all its got fords name on it and can be ordered from most dealers.

"most" fuckers where i bought my car cant order frpp or roush parts. id have to go to fargo.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

The nice thing about this is the CARB EO stuff. I will say that I'd do it if I had a car I wanted to keep and stow for 20 years. The intake manifold will probably be rare as a "dealer installed" piece.

 

[guspech750]

Now that is pretty damn cool.

Just imagine some nicely factory/dealer prepped cars on the used market in a few years. Gives us so many options to those who want a slight performance boost. But do not want to deal with EPA testing headaches.

350 heads are the best option.

good luck finding a set that dont cost a freaking bajillion dollars ported coyotes cost less.

5.2 heads require unique cams due to valvetrain geometry and rockers and lash adjusters too so not a direct bolt on to a 5.0.

stock heads seem to work fine for most people, get basic stuff like exhaust and a cold air intake, when you switch to a blower the intake manifold isnt going to make or brake the combo it will still make tons of power on the stock one

I don't think that's necessarily true. I think there are very specific guidelines as to what parts will not void the warranty and who can install them. Even though they are FRPP parts, they don't mean they won't void your factory warranty.

I think previous track packs have been covered by the factory warranty, so I hope this is the same.

What say you?

350 heads flow way better . It's been proven . And are available with cam sets that work . And also can work with the 5.0 firing order .

This is true I'm sure they are a couple grand maybe more and a lot of work though, lots of other options to make a coyote fast, for an all out build it would be a good option for someone that just wants to run 11's na it's not needed, or someone that wants to run 9's or faster with boost
