Technical Articles

In 1997 Charles Warner conducted experiments on the Thunderbird SC's Exhaust System, Intake System, and Intercooler System, and wrote articles published in Super Coupe of America's clubs magazine "Charging Thunder". Those articles are posted here to share what was learned and hopefully help others who want to improve performance of their SC or Cougar XR7. After you read these articles you will understand why Magnum Powers recommends that the SC exhaust system should be the first performance upgrade.

The knowledge gained from this early work is the foundation of Magnum Powers Intake Components and continuing product development work. The pressure drops measured in the intake plenum and throttle body have been completely removed with Magnum Powers Products and significantly improved performance. We hope you enjoy the read.
