Lok, i posted on this about 4 weeks ago. met two racers from detroit who have VERY strong ties to Ford Racing( the Shepards: if you have the new 2001 Ford Racing catalog Barry's red Cobra is on the cover and Barry & Roxanne's(tweety!) cars are also shown inside on the 2 pages of "cars that win with Ford Racing". Paul Svinicki's car is in there too and he does the best custom chip tuning around the tracks = Paul's High Performance)
anyway, barry sheppard ran our Bullitt's intake, runners, and injection 2 summers ago and stated that our cars are capable of MUCH more than Ford has given to the production model. restrictions were necesary due to emmissions and CAFE fuel economy requirements! he knew more about our engine than anyone i've talked to yet.
his suggestions were to try and limit mods to this car as it will be a car that we treasure and enjoy for years.
mods to make:
have entire intake system extruded and honed BUT wait till you have 3000 to 4000 break-in miles. we will be VERY happy i was told.
unrestrict the airflow to the intake (good cold air induction)
get a custom chip "burned" for YOUR vehicle. do NOT get an "off the shelf" chip. every vehicle is different and it really will make a difference!!!
phwew!!!!!
