Custom tips from the pros to help your project

As you walk along a row of cars at a show, oftentimes a specific ride will stop you cold. There’s just something about the stance, wheel and tire package, flawless paint, or perhaps even the interior that just takes your breath away. The car in question will often have a crowd around it, cell phones out taking pictures, and people just talking to each other about the build and what they find so interesting on it. While there’s no doubt that we’ve seen some quality work come from an owner’s own garage over the years, in most cases, the car being ogled by said crowd is a completely custom-built car from a professional shop. Seeing cars like this in person (as well as on the pages of your favorite magazines) is an inspiration to those building their own projects. Sure, we may not have the resources, tools, or the finances to build a similar car, but we can certainly take away certain aspects of the build to use on our own projects.

Part 2: A Supercharged Two-Valve gains 76 rwhp with a pair of Trick Flow Specialties camshafts.

Last month you read about a naturally aspirated Two-Valve engine that gained 28 rwhp without sacrificing any of the car’s street manners. The Trick Flow Specialties camshafts made the idle sound healthy but not overly aggressive, and there wasn’t any bucking at low rpm. We return this issue to chart the gains while the same engine is exposed to boost.

A Kenne Bell supercharger meets a Ford Racing crate motor.

Loyal readers of MM&FF will no doubt remember that we started our “Mods for Coyote Mods” in the last issue. Ford Racing was kind enough to offer up not only a new 5.0L Coyote crate motor (PN M-6007-M50), but also a complete stand-alone Controls Pack. The pair essentially gives you everything to swap the 412hp 5.0L into just about anything and get it up and running.
