When will you make a dyno video?

[@Four_Eyes]

I am working on it now. Ran into some issues with the car, then I had to wedge a different project between this video and the next video. Excuses aside, end of April at the latest.

[@Four_Eyes]

Update: need until this weekend.

[@91302lx]

Four Eyes I hope all is well and it puts down some solid numbers.

[@alexizarismendi3537]

Four Eyes Issues with the car... got my attention.

[@imslowbutimgood542]

what all happened , did the throttle body work well ? my stock tb just took a dump and I need a new one asap haha

[@victormdesousa]

Dude i thought you were a mechanic expert! 😂😂😅😅 the fact that you are not an experienced mechanic makes this build even better. Hope you learn a lot and have fun!

[@erikwebster9612]

Love this build you are doing. I have a 2009 Mustang gt and plan on adding modifications. Currently in college so it will take some time, but plan on using this build as a guide and inspiration! Keep up the great work.

[@jarmll]

I have had my 07 3V just over a year...this is easily one of the best videos I have found on modding these cars. I look forward to all future episodes!

[@DyesRydes]

For only having minimal experience with working on cars, you sure did a good job! Love your videos man, can’t wait to see the final product.

[@LiamRodriguez1967]

I popped popcorn for this video. I always get a warm feeling when i see you uploaded a video. :)

[@Four_Eyes]

Ha, this has always been my goal.

[@CarsLife]

Sweeeet video brudda!! I nearly freaked when I saw two of you or was it three. I know it's incredibly difficult filming and doing car work at the same time especially when the quality is high so thank you. The blue covers look great. Can't wait to see the dyno numbers!!

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks for the love meng. I end up with a lot of extra footage / outtakes because I mess up so much, figure why not try and repurpose it in a fun way. I do really like the way the engine looks with all the dress-up... I mean not as nice as yours, but now I just gotta get these power numbers dialed in.

[@andrewjaudon2968]

Hey dude, thank you for making such a straight forward video. I know the amount of editing that goes into a video like this. Just install the Ford Racing valve covers. First time I'd done anything remotely close to this. I broke my oil filler neck trying to get it off. new one was only $11 so not so bad. Thanks again for the video!

[@russellromocean3197]

Thanks for this video. Helped a lot. 2005 4.6 modified with Detriot cams, FP throttle body, FP intake, valve covers, Pypes headers, Corsa sport exhaust, new tune from Brenspeed. Fantastic sound and performance. Thanks again for your contribution.

[@Four_Eyes]

happy to hear it was helpful, thanks Russell

[@tbi08]

You've earned a sub. I've got a 2006 Mustang GT brand new off the lot and she's still kicking like a beast. I'm excited to see what your final product will look like.

[@Four_Eyes]

Nice! Thanks for the sub.

[@brandonconnor7699]

Great video man! I picked up a 2008 GT last month and am making a NA build. Your videos have been extremely helpful with installing and build ideas. Looking forward to seeing you completed build!

[@Four_Eyes]

thanks brandon 🙏

[@dans.2058]

This is going to be an amazing build. Great content! Might have to mirror some of these stages with my 07 GT/CS

[@dave388]

I love this channel haha! I always look forward to your videos, they’re so well made. Great work, man!

[@Four_Eyes]

Thank you David

[@vicmcenteno]

Can't wait to see the power numbers! Looks great man!

[@dave99887]

You are too modest dude. I've been a mechanic for almost 20 years and currently an automotive instructor at a technical college. Not only do you work in a very organized manner, your video instruction is incredibly clear and concise. Well done! I run an 08' Bullitt.

[@Four_Eyes]

Thank you David. This is a huge compliment and I appreciate it very much. What should have took me 3 hours took 8 (I didn't finish until 6am). I have a newfound respect for mechanics from this install because of how much my back, knees, and fingers hurt after putting these parts on. I am debating doing a cam install video, I may have some questions for you!

[@dave99887]

You bet brother. Feel free to ask. I have access to Ford documents if necessary. Your videos were so helpful. I was feeling the itch (intake, tune etc...) I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger. The Bullitt I feel pulls good already. I'm thinking kooks headers and aluminum driveshaft for sure. And a dyno tune. I've heard that the engine revs much quicker which can improve downshift timing. I've done mostly suspension and I also installed an MGW shift linkage.

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Another thing great video, I love the 3 valve s197 , best looking mustang yet. Can't wait for the next one.

[@Kjetilsandal]

One of the best instructions video i have seen. Very nice quality in showing how to do. Thx

[@morereps1]

Good stuff my brother..... your making me wanna get started on my 07 GT👏🏾

[@trvshboys8369]

Same i got the gt premium 07

[@dandanthebabyman]

I haven't seen or heard about this video, I had to search for your channel to watch this, but I'm happy to see this.

[@100thomasmagnum]

I saw your newest vid b4 this one...lol. for someone with limited mech skills you did pretty good. Im a little reluctant to do too many engine mods on my S197 other than the typical bolt ons. You have some good how to's here. Good job.

Definitely looking into the driveshaft swap to a single piece driveshaft I have found there between $681-$790. I’ll work on that as well next month. Thank you for a great channel and great videos. Waiting for your next install. Thank you sir

[@jmasterlink13]

This is a great video! The quality is all there, installs and reveals 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Thecraig909]

Dang this is some pretty good stuff. Nice work man looking to get a 3V soon, Hope your vids will help.

[@calikuya3756]

Badass build man. Can’t wait to see the dyno numbers

[@enchenteenchente8441]

Nice work on the videos. You made a huge job look easy on this one. Looking forward to seeing the new Dyno numbers.

[@louieh.1394]

Nice job. I know it was a bit of a pain on the intake manifold install. I had to borrow a torque wrench that measured in inch pounds. The top end gain with it was well worth it though. Next for me is thottlebody and cams. I m just gonna stay na though. Subbed for more. Good luck on the build!

[@husainisyed7792]

Awesome video, well edited and derailed!!

[@chancewindham1718]

Says he has limited experience with cars.........proceeds to make a top tier instructional video worthy of being aired on television.

[@fastlane3563]

This is a game changer for the visuals alone under the hood the stock intake and TB and valve covers are boring looking

[@brandoncollins6621]

you probably have the best content!!!!...love watching the build....keep up the great work man!!!!

[@codysimpson6744]

Great video man! Looking forward to more if you keep doing videos! Just starting to get into my 3v 07 and I’m stoked to get going on it 🙌🏻🔥

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks Cody. Promise I'll keep doing videos.

[@therocketeer7171]

You make high quality content that is a joy to see

[@karooguy]

I just bought an 07 GT with 35k miles on it, and a few bolt-ons. Cant 't wait to see what you're able to do...

[@Four_Eyes]

And I thought mine was low at 47k miles - nice find.

[@jimbrow83]

Four Eyes I bought my 3v 6 months ago 05 gt convertible 49k miles

[@dudeshark2471]

If you get cams you’ll really feel these mods a lot more.

[@lukeskywalker297]

You are seriously putting on the same exact parts I have picked out for mine! Let me know how they end up treating you!

[@Four_Eyes]

Hi Garrett, stayed tuned as I have some information I think you'll find valuable about this setup.

[@lukeskywalker297]

Four Eyes I will for sure! Just keep posting your helpful videos!

[@Phantom096]

Computer geek!! Huh I don't buy that. You must be a Ford certified mechanic or a race car mechanic. U know this car inside and out. Keep up the good work man loving the channel! Subscribed I felt like I was watching a class or something.

[@parrishbrown600]

So I'm doing a more then similar build on my 3V and I was doing research. I read of lot about how much our motors can handle with out forged internals mostly rods, people say we shouldn't go passed 475rwhp with out changing rods first or else boom at high rpm... not sure if its true or what, but just thought I'd share this information!

[@TheNosePickler]

Good choice of music.

[@dallonrommel2795]

[@saulespinoza5646]

Hey four eyes how is it going 🤙🏻 love your content brotha always waiting on what you got next for us . Sadly Nate rider left the 3v scene and has gone a much different route to which 3v viewers can’t relate to his huge engine ! Love the content always know you got fans ! Love your build and keep it up man 🤙🏻🙏🏻✌🏻

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks Saul 👍, yeah Nate's on a whole other level now.

[@sama.1287]

Loving the build brother. I just turned on push notifications

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks man. Shooting some wrap up footage this weekend for the next video.

[@edwardzamorski3711]

Excellent video dude

[@emilioluna8189]

Not sure where I heard this but I believe it’s better to use a silicone based product for the o rings on the injectors. But anyway keep up the good work really good content and I’m loving the build !

[@dragrace4fun]

Yes, COP bolts have stripped on mine. I did get the bolts out, however trying to tap the holes out doesn't do you any good so it seems. Quick fix for this is a bolt and nut so you can drive the car, however you will probably need to tap out for a larger bolt slightly or new valve covers if this happens. I hate not driving in my car right now. 🙄

[@josesigala6044]

Ur doing a great job dude hope u blow up

[@Babyassassin3]

I have a 05 v6 mustang. It’s a little darker grey then yours and so far I’ve tinted the all the lights, bbk cold air intake, and got an flowmaster American thunder muffler. It sounds pretty nice. I’m looking to get some long tube headers soon

[@Four_Eyes]

Nice! Consider posting a sound clip when you get the longtubes on.

[@mitchandbradsnedeker8017]

Hey man i love your videos i just bought a 2008 mustang gt and i cant wait make hwr just as fast if not faster road too 1000 lol.

[@Four_Eyes]

Hell yeah.

[@benjaminheinen7849]

Great video!

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks Benjamin.

[@donnovan1992]

great video!!!

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks Dan, appreciate the sub!

[@jaynosowsky9708]

BTW, you can pull fuse 21 under the hood to shut the fuel pump off.

I’m at where you are in the build however, my next step next month is to do the intake manifold from Ford racing as you did as well as the Ford racing hot rod cams. I believe I have more mods at this point on my bill than you do. I have done a complete BMR suspension Including Ibach pro kit springs and Koni adjustable struts and shocks As well as a billet pro Hurst shifter. Oh yes and I custom Bama performance tune from American muscle. As the car sits right now without the Ford racing intake and Ford racing cams installed oh wait a minute I forgot I have a McLeod Race clutch as well with an upgraded 3655 speed transmission billet steel 26 spline input shaft and since my 2010 Mustang GT is the premium package it came with 373 gears in a locker differential. So as it sits right now it is faster than the non-supercharged Camaro SS with the 6.1 L V-8 in it. It is embarrassing to the Chevrolet Owners as I can quickly put three car links on them in the quarter mile. I have also had the opportunity to race a few non-supercharged Corvette they didn’t fare so well either. I’ve been street racing since I was 15 years old and I’m 47 years old now so yes I can drive the car. Maybe if the Chevrolet owners were better drivers I don’t know maybe they would’ve been me. Although, it is very embarrassing for a Corvette owner to have his ass handed to him by a small block 4.6 L V8 Mustang. I have since started buying The parts from Shelby America to turn this mustang into a Shelby GT. I have acquired all of the parts and they have been installed and Shelby America sent me the door jam plates to denote that it is a Shelby now. And I have installed the Shelby lettering on the rear trunk just under the third brake light her positioning as installed by Ford. Great new channel like the content. No one seems to give the small three valve V8 engine much attention until I showed them the tail lights definitely A new subscriber and I will be following your build. Thank you for taking interest in the awesome ford small block. I am a retired Ford mechanic and enjoy showing off the 281 in.³ V8 based on the 60s ford 289H.O.

[@groove775]

Greetings! Man another great video! But you seemed concerned at the end of the video, thoughts as to why? Hope all went great on the dyno. We gotta have meetings btw! Keep seeing you riding in town! Lol. Once again keep up with the great work and content! Looking forward to seeing those power numbers!

[@Four_Eyes]

Ha great question... So the part you're referencing was at about 6am. I started installing / shooting around 7pm. I had already made a few major errors before that moment, like leaving the fuel line disconnected while trying to start the car. That sent gobs of fuel all over the valve covers and caused petro to pool in all matter of nooks and crannies. I really wanted to drive home and was super worried that either: (1) the canned bama tune wouldn't work or (2) the engine would catch of fire or (3) both. I had a bucket of water and a fire extinguisher just out of view of the camera, just in case any combustion occurred outside of the engine. I have been on the lookout for your Mustang and am usually pretty observant... Anyway it's in storage now because I'm done driving in the morning snow - too many close calls. Y'know what Mustang I see all the time?! That bright orange jimmy-johns-delivering V6!

[@groove775]

Four Eyes Yeah I hear that on storing it during this crazy weather! Sadly I have a daily driver mustang and drive all the way to USA PKWY. Hahaha! I know which mustang you're talking about (v6), he delivers to my girlfriend's job across from fitness connection!

[@zacharyhaymore42]

Fantastic video!!!

[@lodidave]

Thanks for the video.

[@patrickallen1087]

I notice when looking at your list you aren't upgrading the cooling system, from my experiences the cooling system tends over heat when introducing force induction. Other than that it looks like a promising build.

[@Four_Eyes]

Yeah my mechanic warned me of this as well. Will eventually have to upgrade the cooling system.

[@patrickallen1087]

Four Eyes yeah my friend blew his engine out of his 1970 stingray Corvette, because of that. I personally have a 2006 gt mustang, and when talking to experts about force induction they say to upgrade when you start make around 450hp to 500hp to the crankshaft.

[@jimbrow83]

you need to put this back on now that you have cams and get a dyno tune should make good power

[@okccitizen4400]

Awesome more s197 videos if you get time please

[@TheModAddict]

Awesome content

[@samyrup2495]

Excelentes videos y entretenidos, deberías tener más audiencia:/ Pero ánimo te apoyo, thank u for this great information about mustang modifications, I have a 2006 v6 but i love watch the real mustang hahaha.

[@Rampage4reel]

Imo the frpp intake only makes sense if someone uses very aggressive cams and the driver not minding the low end loss. For myself I like the Steeda plates. No point in getting rid of useable torque on a daily driver

[@OnePonyDriver]

Great video! Thanks for all the work it took to produce this. Why didn't you upgrade your cams while you were doing this? It would have made a big difference.

[@Four_Eyes]

Two reasons: stage 2 is all about bolt-ons and I'm not stoked on the torque curve of cammed 3vs as gains are mostly realized above ~5k RPM (I don't spend much time in that range). I'll get cams after boosting, or just before. And thanks, appreciate the appreciation!

[@OnePonyDriver]

I see. You have a good build going. Look forward to following your progress, aloha.

[@mikecorleone6797]

That oreillys parts cleaner tho, brake parts cleaner for the win..

[@rileycates5049]

Good viedo, you relly should get a catch can man i got one for my 3v and they catch a significant amount of oil.

[@Four_Eyes]

No doubt, the charge motion plates were pretty gunked up. I definitely need to grab a couple.

[@mygmorales8094]

When are more videos coming out they are really good !

[@Four_Eyes]

Working on it right now. Shooting for end of month.

[@rjay8854]

Im guessing this was before you put the stock intake back on? Building a pre boost NA set up and wanna know if the ford intake is worth getting seeing how im gonna put a turbo on it later. If it is worth it, is it a mod i should get at the end before adding the boost?

[@davidmartin2231]

Love this instruction/install video. Question, y u no cam?

[@Four_Eyes]

Thanks David. Stage 2 is all about bolt-ons. I'll eventually add cams just before boosting.

[@ridgewood.spidey6608]

I saw this exact intake manifold online for a 4.6L engine, I want to put install it as well but I have Crown Vic. Since it’s also a 4.6L SOHC and the intake is for a Mustang from 05-2011, my Vic is a 08 do you think it will fit?

[@peteandtheresapeterson9533]

Can you please let me know where I can get the new pre-loaded tune for this exact same bolt ons’?

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Used valve lapping compond...to get stripped bolt out....it works as long it not to stripped out.

[@Four_Eyes]

Roger that, thanks Jerry. Cams eventually... I think. Definitely want the lope without giving up too much low-end torque.

[@jaynosowsky9708]

Four Eyes that's why I'm not doing cams, don't want to lose any low end torque....maybe do the cams when you do the supercharger.

[@Four_Eyes]

You and I are on the same page here. Cams after, or just before, getting boost.

[@jaynosowsky9708]

What about cams?

[@vpagliocca]

Nice start. Checked out the build sheet just curious why in stages? I will say all at once does put you out of your car and wallet a bit but worth it considering the end result. I have an 07 current build list still have a ways to go, no numbers yet but on paper should be close to 775rwhp.

[@Four_Eyes]

Helluva build you have going on there. So, building in stages is definitely not the most efficient way to build up these cars, but it does make for more interesting content, enable me to enjoy the car at various performance levels, and also makes the cost of the whole endeavor more palatable. Do you have any videos of your Mustang? You should consider making a video about your project and its current state. Would be really interesting. Also what about that ram? I also have a 2012 Ram 1500 Express 5.7L, but I baby it because I love that friggin truck.

[@vpagliocca]

Four Eyes yeah the financial part would have be much easier in stages for sure lol. Makes sense for the content as someone in the KZbin world. I don't have any videos of the stang but I will certainly do one of the current progress. The dodge is another story lol. Had it around 550rwhp but went another direction and started building a Rubicon lol. Keep the content coming brother!

[@Shutchohole]

Would it have been easier to attach the fuel crossover hose with the intake off the car? The fuel rail attaches to the intake itself from what I can see or remember on my old 2 valve crown vic.

[@johnshope620]

You ever think about painting you side mirror to match your car? I did that to mine & it looks more unified.

[@Four_Eyes]

I've gotten that comment a few times now... haven't given it much thought, but seems like it would slightly improve the overall look.

[@timothygonzalez6679]

Never seen someone look so concerned on a start up lol that's how I was looking at my wife during birth 🤣

[@lifewithcar4478]

I’m not the brightest when it comes to throttle bodies but how did you use the multimeter to get the initial reading? I’m trying to find out why my numbers don’t change from -1.888 with the the car set to accessory mode.

[@peteandtheresapeterson9533]

I have SCT Flasher.

[@everett8811]

I'm having codes p2004 p2005 intake manifold runner stuck open. Is it true if I get this manifold it will also solve that problem

[@v0lsee946]

Can I put this on my 2011 Crown vic?

[@Bendejo6517]

Should’ve just saved up for a gt500 if you’re trying to go fast...but you can always buy the pro charger kit.

[@dudek17]

I have watched your videos in different order( i know you were unhappy with FP Intake)... And now I've watched you cut hoses here and there and i've thought "oh, no....".

[@Nick-ni5di]

I’ve been following your build for about two months and I did almost everything exactly the same but now I have air in the brake lines I had him bled but now they’re telling me that I need a new brake booster. Did you have problems when you switched out the camshaft

[@Four_Eyes]

negatory that’s unrelated to camshafts, something else is going on there

[@joshuabennett5891]

2006 Ford Mustang Gt convertible with procharger supercharger and Flowmaster outlaw cat back exhaust system owner here.....I have ordered the same parts for my pony and I will be installing them this weekend. When you added everything, was the power differents noticable right away?

[@Four_Eyes]

no actually it lost power because i was on a bama tune with stock cams. you should notice a decent bump in top-end power since you're procharged. definitely recommend a dyno tune.

[@tommylol5355]

where is a good website to purchase parts like intake manifold besides rock auto and amazon?

[@isaacterrazas3509]

Will this manifold fit on the 2004-08 f150s 5.4l 3v?

[@MitchellHubert]

What Camera are you using to film and what drone?

[@unknownpersonally1612]

Will these mods work on a 2007 f150 4.6 3v

[@ChingaxTuxMadre]

I have a convertible .... should I even try to make it look nice ???

[@cesarkill5075]

Might be too late for this , but my car it’s tuned with an unknown tuner and I want to install this intake what would you do in my case? Also where did you get the tune ?

[@Four_Eyes]

I would not install this intake unless you have a good tuner to take it to afterwards.

[@antonmarkov1635]

Aren’t you supposed to keep the doors and windows closed while uploading a tune?

[@bigmiami3763]

What spark plugs are you running I’m gonna buy coils an plugs soon an I’m not sure which ones I want.

[@leonardoarcega274]

Que costo tiene este kit. Gracias
