That is not accurate. I put in the front first to break it in and the car vibrated really bad for the first two weeks now it's ok and I am ready to install the rear. They both create a harsh ride. And logic would dictate that since they support an equal amount of the motor that either mount...

Hey I live in Sanford right down the road from you. I install a lot of car stereos and build the boxes. If you want to come bye and check out my system in my car and talk about what you should put in the msp you are more than welcome. I can also get a pretty good deal on car stereo equipment...

Your list looks good, other than the fact that I don't think you have enough money figured in there. I too believed I could do it for a lot less but once everything is said and done I will have around 12k invested in the msp. It adds up quickly.

Tell that to the man that started the thread. He blew the motor on stock boost and I guarentee he is not the first. Yes, the car is rich but it leans out under boost in low rpms under load. Why? because you are at 1/4 or 1/2 throttle and in boost. I would suggest everyone get a wb02 to...

From your own post you say you lug the motor under boost. 3rd gear under 60mph in not where your peak torque is. I am glad to see yet another person who has no idea how to drive a stick. Why don't you go ahead and buy your self a nice automatic. My girlfriend knows better than to lug any...

Read the original post you idiot. It says 4th at 40mph not 3rd. And even 3rd at 40mph is not much above 3000rpm's if at all, but that's besides the point he blew his motor because he was boosting in 4th gear at 40mph. That is what he said 4th at 40mph. Go ahead and blow your motor too I...

If you were boosting in 4th at 40mph you were beating it. SORRY. But it's the truth. You couldn't have been doing more than 2000 rpm's. It just was not smart especially if your car is flashed. That means your car was running super lean in boost. Invest in a wbo2 and watch your afr's at...

You can but what rpm's are you talking about boosting at. If you pull to redline in 2nd then boost straight threw 3rd, but why would you ever wanna boost in 3rd or 4th at less than 3000 rpm's. There is no power there. Our cars make power past 4000 rpm's. By all means boost away though after...

Well then sell all the parts you ordered for it and keep it at stock boost and never beat on it and it will be reliable. But you bought a used car and lugged the motor and blew it. You never boost in low rpm's, downshift then boost. When I watch my AEM WBo2 and boost for a sec in 5th at low...

Bigger is most deffinantly better when it comes to high horsepower. I plan on running 20psi on a gt2871r after my motor is finished, so I should be around the 400whp mark. I doubt the begi fmic can flow enough for 400whp. You know how the old saying goes, "Different strokes for different...

I fully understand your position, but if you will remember mine was the first unit sould by street unit. My box did not include bolts to mount the new beam nor did it come with instructions not to mention mine was the one with off set holes which made centering it impossible without drilling...

When are you gonna have this up for sale?

I would also be interested in a gt2871r. I will be ready after my motor build and ems which is in 2 weeks for the motor build and 2 months for the ems so after that I will be buying a gt2871r or a 3071.

Maybe I'll take mine back apart and see if there is a way to reinforce the beam that perrin sends out. It would be nice to know how strong it really is though.

Yes you have to bend lines. You have to relocate the ac condensor and some lines. Back to your statement about safety. My issue is someone saying one thing than saying something totally different. I am all about the power, hell I hope to have 350 whp after my motor build in a couple weeks...

Perrin John, For safety puproses maybe you should stress test the stock and supplied bumper beams. After all it is advertised as a "new bumper beam". Implying that it serves the same purpose as the "old bumper beam". I for one do not want to be the one who finds out how strong the "new...

Whatever. All I was trying to do was tell the threadstarter the proper way to do the motor build and I get attacked for paying too much. NBD I'll take my opinions elsewhere.

If you have a shelby gt500, 63 shelby cobra and a 71 mustang 429 wtf are you doing driving a msp? You have a $120,000 shelby gt500, a 63 shellby cobra worth $170,000 and a 71 mustang with a 429 that's worth 45,000 and you are driving a msp. You are more of an idiot than I thought. I call BULL...

Actually I would bet that at 20psi on a gt2871r with the port and polish, valve job, and new intake manifold I will be putting down closer to 400whp. And remember you are the one who said I was paying too much. All I did was state that you did not have enough in your budget to aquire all the...

By the way 1500 is not enough to buy rods, pistons, new rod bearings, arp hardware and a used shortblock. So you might want to throw a little more in the budget.
