first gear doesnt really do all that well off the line, but at 4 grand i feel it. is that normal? i know the sho has secondaries and butterfly valves open at 4 grand..oh boy did that rock... does the svt have a similar manifold?(yes, they look hella different i know)
where can i find a good coldair intake? screw shoshop!! can't trust em.
is a turbo the way to go? whats the price?
i like to know everything thats special about my special fords so any wierd stuff you know i1d live to hear it.







Check the stickies in Duratec performance and Forced induction forums. But to answer your questions.

Yes SVT's have a butterfly valve setup like SHO's, the secondaries open at 3800RPM or full throttle. As far as being slow before that, you probably need a good tune up and UIM/LIM tear down and cleaning.

Turbo is the way to go for power if you have the money, the only company that makes a full kit for the SVT is arizona dyno chip. The cost of the kit is 5000, although i've read some where that it recently went up. You would be better off building up a Oval port 3L.

For special and weird stuff, browse the main page of this site for specifications and common quirks.
