i have an 04 4.6 liter stx and i am very interested in getting a cam and gears for it to give me a lil more jump off the line.does anybody where a good place to buy from.i know im gonna go with prolly crane cams for the cam but i cant seam to find gears for my year and model.and im kind of in a bind as of which ones to get.i want 456s but i value my high end as well.someone help lol

 

4.56? do you want a useless 1st gear? Go 4.10. For camS and springs, which you will need as I have taken apart enough 2V 4.6L motors to know... get them from Modularperformance.com. I recommend Crower II's and Comp springs. You will need a specialized OTC valvespring compressor as a generic one will not work.

That being said, you will NEED a tune Xcal2 would be your best bet. Also, truck convertors have a relatively low stall, which doesnt help performance. For a REALLY good one, www.dirtydogperformance.com. The owners name is Alan, he is still working on the site, but you get the idea.

www.gefracing.com usually has the best deal on gears and you will need EEC recalibration after the gears, so do everything at once so the tune can take care of it all.

 

hey ya thanks for the advice, and i dont know if im just being a complete idiot but i cant find any gears on here.all im seein is complete axel kits and those are like 4 grand

 

If you still want a decent top end I would'nt go any higher then 3.90's That is what we run in ALOT of 'Stangs to keep them streetable.

 

^Anything over 4 would be way too much gear.

What size tires are you going to run?

 

rigth now im runnin a 265/40/22 but my trucks been in the shop now siince march so i havnt drivin it with the new tires.i was runnin a 285/35/22, its the same diameter but i wanted a lil less width so my truck would lay out more..but ya does anybody know a good site to buy from, all the other sites are mainly for mustangs

 

Get your gears from www.floridapowertrain.com. Go to the contact us link and call the Jacksonville office. They will sell you an OEM style gear so it dosen't whine if set up properly.

 

hey thanks alot guys im gonna hve to give these guys a call but is ther anybody in these forus who have these gears or knows people that do id like to get some insight before i make my purchase!!!!!!

 

go OEM gear and the requisite install kit. Hell, since the diff is being worked on, get the trac lok rebuilt.
