My car seems to rev kinda slow.
I have a explorer gt40 manifold with a f-cam.. Should I get a different manfold.. Which manifold would you guys recommend?
Also I still have the clutch fan, would getting rid of it and putting on underdrive pulleys help some?

Thanks, in advance...

ditch the clutch fan, go to electric fan. Flex-a-lite's black magic fan is really nice on the mustangs. I had one on my fox. Underdrive pulleys are also a cheap investment for a couple of ponies. Also maybe an aluminum driveshaft. I don't know if that will have a lot of gains, but it definitely will reduce the rotating mass. If your car has it, try ditching the air conditioning and smog pump too.

Whats a clutch fan? lol Man ditch the clutch fan, very inefficent. Go dual electric or one big huge electric and hardwire it so you have a switch and place it on your dash so you can turn it on and off as necessary. :thumbsup

the black magic fan has a built in thermostat that you can adjust to turn automatically incase you pull a deedeedee and forget to turn on the fan like I did many times. The black magic fan is nice, it moves a BUTTLOAD of air, and its a complete package for about $250. Not only that, its rebuildable. I had mine wired in to automatically turn on at a specific temp, but I also had mine manually controllable with a switch, however if my engine hit a certain temp, it would automatically override the switch and turn it on to save my ass from destruction :D

I can't decide on wich manifold because I have never used either of the manifolds I am thinking about.

Trickflow track heat or RPM II I do have the ede heads?

the track heat is a nice intake. pair it up with the right heads and cam and you got a mini beast.
