In my time here on the forum I don't think I have seen one post of "Increased HP" .. only a loss of low end torque..

 

I guess I've been really lucky, haven't really had many little things go wrong either with my 69 AMX. (I really shouldn't say that, I probably just Jinxed myself).
I had a 1969 all original (except for wheels and tires) Hemi Super Bee.
CrossfireForum.org - +fireamx's Album: Member Galleries - Picture
If it had been a 69 Hemi (or 440 Charger R/T) in the same color, I'd still have it today.
As MrMiata mentioned, the 1968 Charger R/T was my favorite as well, because of the little round side marker lights.
Turbine Bronze, black vinyl roof, black interior, with black "Bumble Bee" stripes, 440 and chrome Magnum 500's. If I had ever found one like that, it would be parked right next to my AMX.

 

I been owning a 2005 LTD Xfire since last November only and it is sitting in the garage waiting for the Winter to go by, since last December and since, I been spending some spare Winter time to get more knowlege on it. . . . so I do not know a lot about ithe Xfire YET ,but I know that Forum like this one is always the place to get good awnser . . . a special Thanks to all the Members that makes them run.

Stay away. Go to the guys at Eurocharged and get a tune from them based on your modifications. Retunes are free. So as you add performance mods no more cost for the tune.

 

Where do you find this?

 

Why Ebay of course.. LOL. Had a make offer option and after 3 days of no bids on it.. I made an offer..

And the MAF housing.. throw sensor away! Or give to "friend" on drag night.. LOL

98 09 Mercedes Mass Air Flow Sensor Meter 5 0 5 5 4 3 | eBay

EDIT: Mine was US $23.33.. inflation .. gotta luv it.

 

Thanks for the link, been waiting for a good price. Lowest i found was 79 (too high). Apparently I just needed to take the A off the part number, doh!

 

I don't think they are proud of the MAF sensor.. but since that one's for your racing buddy.. LOL

 

The NeedsWings CIA comes with the upgraded MAF Housing. Does it include the Throttle Body and/or sensor?

The one item I cannot find is the Throttle Body. Maybe I am just searching the wrong thing.

 

TB is A113 141 01 25

The NW intake replaces the MAF housing, you use the existing sensor. Does not include the TB

No - you should continue to use the OEM sensor that is already in the car.

And as to the grille, to ME, this looks much nicer :

Thank you. As you can tell, I have no clue what I am talking about.

I'm not such a fan. I like the mesh better.




So can anyone tell me where to get these badges?

 

Badges picture didn't post, but I'm sure you need to PM 'andrew'

 

Or, save the money on this lot of gear, sell the na and buy an SRT.
You'll save all the hassle and have a faster car than the na with all the above gear on it all with no further expense required and at the same or less cost.

 

Except for a new johnson.. then a new intercooler.. and SRT comes with a CAI ? Needswings just fooling people.. basically there's a list for the SRT too..

and if I'm not mistaken.. the cable is included when the sale hits on tune..

 

Nothing wrong with an na, I had one for six years. What started out here as "Quick Mods" became a major and expensive parts list. I did some mods to mine, MB air box etc. I had no need for bigger brakes etc and the Sprint Booster is a waste in my mind but so what.

The SRT is way faster straight out the box, with no CAI needed. As for the Johnson and IC well you can expect to pay for parts now and again.

I went in Rudys modified SRT at Woodward one year and he left the na's in the dust at the freeway on ramp and I thought "I gotta have one of these puppys one day".

 

I have to agree.. "IF" fast as you can go is priority one.. the research should have been done before the purchase.. "if" you had a cherry 5,000 mile roadster you stole from someone.. Okay.. I could see the upgrade list route..

But as a final note.. each to there own..

 

Your list is a bit expensive, there are alternatives you could do.

Dual NW intake not needed on the NA, (can't use that much air) single will do fine, V8 mercedes box is an upgrade as well.

Sprint booster... I'd say waste as well but others swear by em. For that price and 0 HP gain it would not be high on the list. I just do the throttle reset regularly. Tune should help with pedal response as well.

I asked about the euro tune on the NA and its about to be 350 regular with cable if I'm not mistaken.

ANSA won't get any gains other than noise level.

Brembos are overkill as well, you don't need that much stopping power unless you really want it or you plan for tracking. Getting a set of c32 or other AMG (brembo) brakes will be a cheaper alternative and stop you quicker than stock.

If you got cash to burn its not really a prob, if you want to save some just do a lot if reading and searching and you will find alternatives for what you want to do.

In the end the NA is never gonna snap your neck from the power, for me it's enough to be fun but at the same time keep me out of big trouble

If the turbo or some other magic happens down the line we may be able to hang with the stock SRT crowd but visions of more than that will require swaps or many many more dollars.
