  • Wtf? 5.4 mine is a 4.6 man lol

  • wow......great video of ur boost gauge.

  • automatic:/

  • What kind of a trubo did you strap to that?

  • why auto...

  • @TheZohaun cause it wins races and can't miss a shift...for us rookies...lol

  • @KBcobra724 i agree with the can't miss a shift part but id much rather drive a stick... ive seen them win more races and its much more fun. I buy a car for the driving experience and i dont get the same rush just stomping on the gas as i do stomping on the gas then jamming the gears into place at the perfect time and listening to the wheels chirp

  • @TheZohaun Im with you, I like have to bang threw them. But with a built auto (turbo) cars dont loose boost (nitrous) cars wont miss a shift hit the rev limit and send parts flyin. auto are for guys  who own a car that is mostly drag duty

  • @KBcobra724 i guess that makes sense but if you powershift wont you also maintain boost?

  • @TheZohaun Ya you maintain boost with powershifting, as long as your tranny is built you be okay. If you do have alot of power it is much faster with an auto cause even with power shifting it takes at least half a second to shift but an auto does it in a blink of an eye, with big power you have to shift a stick way to much cause it revs real quick.

  • @KBcobra724 i will agree that an auto is more efficient if you agree that a stick is more fun :)

  • @TheZohaun Agreed

  • @TheZohaun you must not have really big #'s, it's nearly impossible to hook cars with 800+hp on the street when you have a stick, not to mention how hard it is to drive them straight with one hand on the wheel and the other on the shifter... much better to have both hands on the wheel when flooring an 800+ HP turbo'd car... I drove my stang with a stick for years, I love bangin gears, now if I want to do that I drive the Mrs' R Spec Genesis

  • @2mchvnm Oh I'm only at 300-330rwhp right now. It''s not that difficult to maintain traction at all. I agree with you that it will be harder to hook up but that's part of the fun. Watch Dan Millen drag his outlaw turbo cobras and you will see someone with the clutchless shifter who flys down the track at anywhere from 5-7s 1/4th mile times. He has one hand on the wheel when shifting and puts the other hand on the shifter. I think that would be more fun and challenging then just flooring

  • @moe929560 Depends honestly... Rumpeltiezer would be correct to a degree. during a drag race Under a normal shift at a fast pace you would lose boost and there Auto would make its shine..that and the fact autos shift faster and there isn't a chance of missing a shift. Yet, some people power shift which is just us flooring the gas and pressing in the clutch without letting off the gas which is essentially doing the same as an auto.Auto=consistency... Manual= a chance of a better time

  • your empty on gas just saying

  • WTF? that was stupid! who wants to watch a gauge for 2 minutes? learn how to make a video

  • why do ppl do the 5.4 swap so much? it seems like the 4.6 and 5.4 put out similar numbers

  • @Sk8FalIen 5.4 has wayyy more torque though

  • @turbonegro1120 not waaayyyy. Gotta think about the weight added also.

  • @BurtonBluntRider yeah but the almost 80lbs of more torque makes up for the engine weight. a 5.4L will respond better to mods also and just has more potential. i agree that it would be better if it were all aluminum like the 3v 4.6's but it is what it is.

  • @turbonegro1120 for a turbo car it is a good debate. 4.6L rev up faster and can be spun harder. Nothing wrong with a 5.4 either. I thought about it but the 4.6L Teskid won. Nice car though man!

  • @BurtonBluntRider it depends if its 2v or 4v too. a 4v 4.6 is better than a 2v 5.4. a 3v 5.4 and 4v 4.6 would be a tough choice i think. but yeah when it comes too boost its all about the stronger block and forged internals lol

  • @turbonegro1120 a 3v 5.4 is a good combo but a 4v 5.4 would still be better. The best combo would be a 5.4L ALUM block(pricey) and a 4v with GT heads. Any combo will work. Like you said...with boost anything is possible!

  • ever heard of a fucking seat belt?! put that shit on next time!

  • did you use the stock auto trans for it and torque converter or did you switch the converter?

  • your video sucks bro who wants to see a gauge for 2 mins

  • you need to show the speedo wheen you get on it!

  • For pete's sake just put on your damn seat belt. ding ding ding ding ding ding ding... that gets annoying.

  • Props on the 5.4 swap man. Is it a 2v or a 3v? Its sounds great, cams like a bitch.

  • Thanks Its a 2V and I just stretched a victor jr and put it on along with an Art Carr powerglide, Dyno is next 18 psi T72 with water/meth injection

  • @cdjnight what type of intercooler setup do yhou have? i consistantly ran 23psi in my talon with no knock (detonation) before having to upgrade to meth injection. using a precision 6262. i was just using a front mount air to air intercooler with 93 octane pump gas. are you seeing detionation at only 18psi? if so whats your injectory duty cycle? most summer night i was seeing 40 degree F intake air temps. during summer days usually around ambient air temp so roughly 100 degrees F.

  • @eckomaninred who makes 3v 5.4's??? I'm curious

  • you sound stupid. the transmission doesn't restrict the amount of boost, and with an auto you can maintain the boost through shifts. my buddy has a tt cobra that we're plannin on removin the 6 spd and swappin an auto in for those reasons.

  • For track use, fuck no, standard trans only, but an auto is much better for the strip. MUCH better. Tehy can also take more power. Its hard to find a clutch/pressure plate that will take 800-1000 ftlbs of torque w/o slipping

  • you obviously dont know shit about cars. Automatics with turbos are much faster at the track. With an automatic you dont have to dump boost to shift, like you do with a manual.

  • @rumpeltiezerwash Strip use.... autos are better..... track use.... autos suck

  • Stfu idiot its a fast car

  • who cares if its an automatic or not its still sick

  • lolz its automatic

  • auto's are better for turbo builds

  • Should have been titled "BOOST GAUGE" two thumbs down...

  • no shit , next mount that fucker so it wont move much shit

  • i agree with shale0984

  • fuck seatbelts

  • Not to be a dick but i didn't wanna see a video of a boost gauge, especially one that was in vaccuum 99% of the time. Lets see the rest of ur ride!! Sounds good tho...

  • what kind of an exhaust u have on there

  • it a single 3" down pipe that switches to 3.5" and into a 3.5" flowmaster single chamber mufler and then turns down at rear housing

  • Put your seat belt on man...

  • I agree with Hurley.
