NMAv Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 So I'm trying to piece my way through understanding how all the various modifications fit together to help build a faster, better handling mousetrap. So here is the status of things so far: On the list in no particular order: Smaller SC pulley 2.6 or there abouts. Pulley tensioner New plugs - small gap New tune Engine Strut tower brace Better tires for traction Some type of additoinal handling package (still thinking that through) Should I look at replacing the throttle body as well - something around 65mm vs the standard 60 mm that comes on the 2011? Is the stock 60 mm suffiicent or will air flow be a bottle neck. Also I see Ford Racing has one and several different sponsors offer them. Recommendations/thoughts. I've ready anywhere from 8 to 25 hp gains with going larger. The price is pretty expensive however. My goal is to get around 650 HP without having to change the SC.

dbackg Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Contact Justin @ VMP> Vendor sponsor. http://www.vmptuning...&parent=88&pg=1 650HP = 550 to 575 RWHP considering parasitic drivetrain loss @ 12-15% You will need to consider the following: 1. Yes, bigger TB 2. Bigger hi-flow inlet elbow plenum, and then port match it to the stock SC This should get you 650HP HP = cost money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullens Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 A throttle body is one of the last mods you want to get. A larger TB will only be effective when you are flowing more air i.e. pulley, upgraded supercharger, etc. If you put a larger TB on a stock motor gains will be very minimal...certainly not noticable on a 550hp motor. The stock TB is well able to handle 600+ rwhp with smooth idle and operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badsho Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I agree with contacting Justin of VMP .... that said ... with a lower and upper pulley .... a HI flow inlet and larger TB .... should get u close to your goal. Justin can advise you if you need the TB with just the upper pulley or if it would be cost effect vs the HP gains you would achieve with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0201212 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Can't go wrong with VMP!!! Quality parts and great service from Justin. Have also had a great experience with JLT. Can't comment on others as I have not used them yet. Either one should be able to get you to your goals easily. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubbs Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I gained +26 rwhp and +12 rwtq with a TB/plenum/Intake tube and a filter on my stock 2010...add a 2.6 pulley and tune and you should be there http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/topic/61576-tbplenumintake-tubefilter-install/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger hi-flow inlet elbow plenum, and then port match it to the stock SC This should get you 650HP HP = cost money. What does port matching entail. From what I can tell it is the process of grinding the inlet to be teh same size as the new plenum??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I GOT 581 RWHP ON MY 2010 with the cj65mm tb/ frpp svt 1 axle backs and 2.6 pulley with a john lund tune.This will give you about 650 hp w/o matching any plenum and the stock blower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
