Don't worry, it'll be more technical, as to tuning and stuff, because I dont have a clue when it comes to doing serious tuning.

I might do the VS I've read up on it a lot and it seems more for what I need...

But for now, I would just focus on the topswap if you are unsure of things.

I'm kinda thinking about getting another n/a block and building it all nice like, and just top swapping and doing a small cam for a DD.

You can run the 3.4 with headers on a stock gtp tune.

It isn't recommended.

Does it not elaborate enough in the statement? Mine sat out all winter...and when it was colder...as in below freezing...it would take a few times to get her going...cammed cars of most any kind don't like the cold.

I have a 3.6, rr's, headers, genV, on my car and my stock gtp injectors are just about maxed out, i will need more flow mods to drop to an even smaller pulley. My car made 252 whp on a mustang dyno

**99prixgt** · 03-31-2010

btw, don't get any vendor "over the counter" pcm flash for your swap

Makes sense.

Both that cammed cars are more difficult to start in the cold and that you had starting issues (lack of charge on battery).

Thanks
