ShowCar Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I installed this Powerpipe from Anderson Ford in Clinton Il. Its HUGE!!! It went right on and looks alot better than the elbow. It comes with a valve cover breather and the stock hose goes in the corner of the garage with the old elbow. Now with a tune, powerpipe and Bassani mufflers, she puts down 289hp and 306tq at the wheels. :happy feet: I am starting to think she is a loose motor from the factory. I dynoed her before and got 271hp at the wheels. So this really explains why she was quick at the track when stock. Heres the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordRocks1 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Nice!!! Clean engine bay!!! So Steeda,Anderson and the stock are the only ones making the elbows for our SGTs, I have contacted JLT but was told that they do not have one for us.

ilmor Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Wow, that is big - sure can't be any restrictions with that one! So, how does this work, did you Anderson tune first revert your computer back to the original GT tune, and then change it to the Anderson tune?

ShowCar Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I did the tune and Powerpipe together. The tune is not from Anderson but from MRT in Michigan. He tuned my 2004 Mach1 and did the same on the Shelby. The link is here, http://www.andersonfordmotorsport.com/ The car is always detailed even though it is driven alot.

greaser Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 acording to the link he gave no tuning required altho he did tune his after the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowCar Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 A tune is not needed with the pipe. I just wanted a tune because the Ford tune is weak. Its like a different car now. Even if the pipe adds zero HP its just better looking than the stock piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked because I've heard they are a good shop for tuning and they're in IL so that appeals to me. Do you know anyone that's had their Programable Engine Management System (PMS) done to their car?

JeffIsHereToo Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Nice! I don't mean to sound ungrateful to them but can that BIG Anderson plate thing come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSBYT Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 So here's my question..... Why do the Steeda and C&L pipes need a re-tune and this thing does not? This is just totally confusing to me!!! I understand that airflow is improved, but really that much that it takes a re-tune???!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowCar Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I have had PMS on my 93 Cobra and it went from 370hp to 507hp with the PMS. Before the PMS the car ran rough and PIG rich. Granted it was on 1993 vehicle but it worked real well. That car ran well into the 11's back in 1999. The pipe diameter does not change the airflow enough to need a tune. The mass air size and airflow dictate a tune. We do NOT need atune with Steeda's or Anderson's elbow. I dont know enough about C+L to verify. The Anderson sticker can come off but it stays. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Hmmmm yeah i'm still not sure... Note: Will work with FRPP intakes but will require retuning if using FRPP's tune with one of our SCT tuners. Shelby GT and GT-H cars are equipped with FRPP intakes. Will require retune with SCT tuner for these vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Steeda elbow and no retune and the car runs great. You can get a retune to squeeze out a few more horses but it is not required for just switching the elbow.

Steve, the power pipe looks great but if I am reading the dyno chart correctly it peaks early, about 4300, then drops off dramatically, below stock all the way past 6,000 rpm.

69dejavue Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I took no offense. I was actually looking at a different graph where it peaked earlier and then fall off dramatically. Again, I took no offense. Thank you for the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
