performance parts?!?

A cross-ram style intake works well on most American V shaped motors, but, due to the placement of the plugs and distributor on the Jag V12, it will be a nightmare to check or change the plugs, something you will likely be doing a lot of as you tune this engine to find the sweet spot. I assume that, like me, you are going to ditch the distributor, and go with a modern coil-on-plug type setup, so, stock distributor placement really wont be a factor in your intake design.

your dead on calvin! thats another property of them haha too much flow it will run like crude to little it wont go anywhere at all. an engine is an air pump everything has too sing too a certain tune if you will, if one things of the whole choir is useless! like I said its all mathematics If some one wants me too ill go into it but its a long winded discussion .

what exactly is your budget on this build?
i think for what you want you're going to want to up the displacement and run a pro charger or two. if you think about it in terms of airflow, 1.8 to 2.2 hp per cfm is the rule of thumb, so youre going to need to make atleast 450 cfm from the superchargers.

GregH they will fit but the center bore is incorrect for it I can't pull the numbers out of my head at the moment. Yes I do believe an update is needed. I sold the procharger the car has been ooff and on the lift for basic stuff brakes, suspension minor rust repair working too many hours lately car has been sitting on the back burner I'm liquidating a few of my projects too put money into this one . I had too use my previous savings because I had a women pull out intront of me totaled my daily driver might end up with some $$$ from that incident. Now back into performance stuff how does one go about beefing up the suspension on these cars what's the spring rated at? I suppose it would have too be custom or swapped from a simular vehicle?
