Okay for the little details. And a little education for you people out there who know nothing about the new cougar community.
Stock Final drive on my transmission is 4.06:1. Consider I'll be having at least 350 fwhp, I wanted to drop that number and make the final drive taller......decreasing acceleration....but it might actually help me get traction. Because front wheel drive sucks teh arse.
Next, there was months of discussion on the optimum Cam combination for optimal forced induction power. There are the stock 2.5L camshafts, the 3.0 cams, the 2.5L SVT Cams and then the out of left field Mazda6 Cams. Yes thats right I said Mazda6. The Mazda 6 uses a 3.0 Duratec, but it has VVT. But the camshafts are a direct swap into any Duratec motor. After months of discussion and specification arguments....the best cam combination is the 3L intake cam matched with the Mazda6 exhaust cam. I'd go into detail why, but I don't feel like typing that much.
I decidied to go with a SPEC Stage 4 Clutch and 8.5lb Flywheel.
"Dude, you're gonna snap your halfshafts!"
Not with these DriveShaftShop Stage 5 axles. I got the 2nd set ever made.
