The pullies, E fan, air pump delet always have a seat of the pants effect on the 5.0 Stang throttle response and feel, I only feel it will do the same here. Ditch the BADifolds for some LT headers.why not shorties? ditch the air pump with short pully, plug off EGR - or like I have done on stangs, fool the EGR with resistors bump timing up 3-4 degrees, along with tune up (plugs/wires/cap/rotor) 180 degree thermostat (this was a reccomendation, not sure what is in it now) (THinking some kind of PCV with rubber hose - 2 into 1 pipe with large K&N over in the fender, since it is SD, that is simple and have done this on SD stangs) Remove baffles from bottom of factory airbox - or custom CIA. Underdrive pullies (I have these on my 351 performance built MarkVII) SO far I have gathered this solid info from around the web and you. And if you keep your foot off the throttle afterwards, you may gain some mpg's. The Y-pipe and cat setup is especially restrictive. To the OP, ditching the stock exhaust (especially the Y-pipe) system including manifolds, is your best bang for buck option for adding performance to the 5.0 or 5.8. Both gentleman were very happy with their results. I have seen two other folks from this forum (Chris89, and Ronny) build this same box from my pictures. Some guys are competent enough with their hands to build a similar box. But be careful what you suggest for folks. My only worry was hydro lock and debris issues at the time we built it (2007). ![]() A +10whp/8ftlb gain through a torque converter, transfer case, gears and tires is no laughing matter on these under-powered trucks. I have seen the dyno's before and after with my setup. Build a box around any other higher efficiency filter, and you will see improvements as is found in a true CAI. ![]() Unfortunately, the kits I've seen all utilize an open filter element. We have dyno tested this ad nauseum when we put together my intake. got any pics of ur centurion yet?The truck does respond well to intake improvements, just not how they come from K&N. our trucks dont respond well to them at all.
