Re: New and eager to learn
If I were going to make power in a 2.4, here's how I'd do it.
First, do some supporting mods.
Get HPT and learn the basics of using it.
Get some Megan Racing coilovers
Light weight rims, and good tires
Brembo brakes, above 120mph factory brakes suck massive donkey d*ck
Racingline STB
Get a full exhaust, custom long tube header, mandrel bent stainless steel also go catless if possible(I'd also get a GXP valance and run duals for looks.)
After doing this, I'd build the driveline
Forged pistons
New rods
OEM bearings
Balance shaft delete (don't do neutral shafts, just delete them)
ZZP Cams
Euthanasia ported head
Upgraded valve springs
Siemens 60LB injectors, good for 350 horse
LSJ, or LS4 TB
Call ZZP about their 4t45 in a G6
ATI super balancer
Lightweight alternator pulley
This should put you around 200 WHP, that's about a 30% increase over factory. That also should put you at stock GXP performance level.
Then, after the rest is done
Used m62 and intake manifold from a Cobalt SS
Cobra heat exchanger
New coolant pump
Map sensor
Intake
New idler pulley?
????????? (Everything else needed).
Find a good tuner, for getting it ll tuned. Total cost? A lot. Final power level? 300-400 WHP.1972 F100
