Default Airflow/Engine Damage question.

I'm sure that there couldn't be much damage done to the engine but I'm forced to wonder exactly what happens if I have a nice induction setup but nothing done as far as exhaust. Backpressure...but does it have any lasting affect on the engine i.e. quicker wearing. I don't think that I need to be all to concerned because I'm virtually stock but I do have !FRA done and I'm wanting to get a TSP Lid and a smoother bellow. From what I can figure this would be ok with a stock exhaust setup. I'm thinking that before I get a ported TB and MAF, FTRA and LS6 Intake Manifold, I'm gonna want to put some money into a cat-back and headers/ORY. Then a cam. Which leads me to one final question. If you've kept up thank you. Sorry for length. When I finally get around to camming the car how important is gear selection. I'm wanting 4.10s. Should I think about different ones if I'm getting the TR 224 114LSA?



Thanks in advance,
Justin

I say skip the MAF, don't buy a TB, and for a rear Your stock 10 bolt is the weak link. $2500.00 will buy one that might last at the track. Or you can go my route and do it twice

yea, if you want 4.10s the safest way to do it is dump the 10 bolt for somthing bigger. (12 bolt, ford 9", 8.8")

The restrictive exhaust side won't damage your engine.
