Guys,
I am an old time hot rodder. I know carbs, heads, air flow, cams, timing curves, trannies and running gear. I have built lots of fast MOPAR heavy iron. I own a perfect box stock 426 hemi, a Boss 302 and a couple other antiques. I like motors a lot. My wife worries about that too.
My 2001 F-150 SCREW is my very first computer managed techno project. As a former 22 year maintainer of Navy fighter jets I am by nature a perfectionist and don’t do anything unless I know what it will do, how it works and what the result will be. I have learned a ton of very cool stuff from a variety of sources. I have talked to just about everyone of the major Ford modular engine parts manufactures as well some real smart Ford guys. One thing I learned right off is that there are lots of myths and misconceptions about these motors. So what I am passing along is hardcore no BS technical data that I have collected over the last 6 months from my own research efforts.
This web-site www.fordracingparts.com is the 2007 Ford Racing Catalog. Go to pages 115, 116 and 117. It is very technical but it answers lots questions and makes some good points like don't use injectors bigger than you need for the HP you are going to generate and to realize the true potential of your modifications you need a new Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. Even if you think I am full of crap do yourself a favor and read the part about the MAF. It will enlighten you. This is the kind of information that makes our project better in the end.
I just last night finished matching and polishing my TB Elbow in preparation for installing my new BBK TB. Tonight I am going to assemble the cool air intake and GMS MAF. I am by no means an expert but I know what worked to create power, performance and superior operation from pass designs. We own an engine design that we can manage each cylinder individually. So we can have our cake and eat it too. Quick, powerful and efficient. That is the approach I am taking in modifying my motor.

HI!... No myths or misconceptions here. Check out my #'s in my SIG below. I know what works. Now if I could just find a engine builder that knows what he's doing.........

yeh lol not all MAF's are created equal for some reason the first gen PI mafs like the 99 and 00 ones had problems with maxing out really soon. went along same problem with the lightnings.
