Cool 4.2 Mods galore!!

I found this website just a little while ago
www.supersixmotorsports.com
They specialize in 3.8 and 4.2 mods and have ported intakes, heads, custom cams and headers for the 4.2. Has anyone here ever used their products? If so, how are they. I am growing faint at the thought of building up my 6-pack.

I've talked to them over the phone about the stage 1 for the 4.2 f-150. and heres the conclusion... ported intakes, Ported heads with 3 angle valve work, gasket matched, cam, HEADERS, custom CHIP will bring our 4.2's up to around 260-265hp not bad, but the torque will only be around 285-295lbs.

just thought you would want to know.

ya I have been in contact in with them also.Got pretty much the same #s as tallywacker.I did ask them a question about keeping the low end torque with these mods and it won't happen unless when they port the lower intake they leave the *butterflies* in place and grind you a mild cam.I would love to order up their stuff but have more important things on my priority list right now.My 2 cents

Thanks for the info. I do want to keep my low end torque, so the butterflies stay. More power without a blower or NOS sounds very appealing, though. The NOS comes later...
