I'm a Newbie here and humbly fall on my sword looking for ACCURATE recommendations for my completely stock 2002 Crown Vic...I literally bought this car from a little old lady who literally drove it to Church....Unreal...This thing is cherry and has all maintenance records....
Anyway, I've been doing research on the J-mod and have also found the YouTube video from Rizzo....There seems to be various opinions on a few things mostly based upon existing performance mods they have and HP ratings.
The ONLY mods this car will get will be:
1.) Cat back duel 2 chamber flowmaster exaust with X tube
2.) Cold Air Intake
3.) SCT X4 Mo mods for 87 and 93 octane.
I do NOT want the tranny to BANG or chirp the tires (unless WOT perhaps, lol)
Here is what I'm considering...
1.) The info I found says drill separator plate holes 2,4,5,9,11 to 7/64 (.100-.110)....Would it be safer to just drill them 3/32 (.09375) to make shifts just slightly firmer with stock HP motor ? Will this even make a difference ? I could always make them bigger later down the line if need be is my thinking.....Is this thinking correct ?
2.) I plan on leaving in both 1-2 springs but want to remove the 2-3 spring. Again, don't want harsh....Just better/ firmer daily driver.
PLEASE help me folks....I have a good shop to do the work, but they want me to call the shots on the actual specs....
Thank you, Lee
