    The great Brake Debate - Recycled - "Which is better?"

    Anyone heard anything about this kit http://www.discbrakesrus.com/make/ford/cobra6piston.jpg from http://www.discbrakesrus.com ? $1,700.00 for 6-piston calipers(wonder who manufactures them) two-piece 14" rotors and braided lines. Sounds like a better deal than than the typically overpriced...

    The great Brake Debate - Recycled - "Which is better?"

    Thanks for the info "Do it right the first time" is like my motto. I'm not spending a dime on anything that I know I'm going to have to replace/upgrade later - that's just a waste. I agree that the 14" Roush kit seemed a little over-the-top for this car, but I was also considering it to be...

    Rear GT and Cobra rotors...

    Thanks! Aaah, I see. Well my situation is that this car is not a track car at all. Just a street car which I already drive as if auto-x'ing every day, that is about to get a huge dose of HP. I'll get some 1/4 mi timeslips when the car is finished, but I want it to be able to stop whether on...

    The great Brake Debate - Recycled - "Which is better?"

    Do the Brembo (2000 Cobra R) four piston calipers not deliver enough stop? I'm turning a GT into a 10 second car (Twin Screw blower 600-700HP street car **) and I'm reaching the point of having to decide which brakes to go with. At first I was just going to go with the standard Cobra...

    Rear GT and Cobra rotors...

    Why? Why? Do the Brembo (2000 Cobra R) four piston calipers not deliver enough stop? I'm turning a GT into a 10 second car and I'm to the point of having to decide which brakes to go with. At first I was just going to go with the standard Cobra conversion, but I'm not so sure that it will...

    Roll Cage/Subframes...?

    Well first of all, I want side exhaust so badly I can't stand it. I already have the subframes, I just haven't had them welded in yet because I want to find a way to make them work with side exhaust. Secondly I'm just getting the ball rolling on a 600-700HP 2V combo...so I'm not sure that a...

    Roll Cage/Subframes...?

    If I have the right kind of roll cage welded into my car, would I still need sub-frame connectors?

    Buying Teksid this week... need crucial ?'s answered b4 purchasing

    I completely agree with you. My first few Mustang GT's and couple of LT1 Z28's taught me how expensive these cars are just to maintain, if you drive them hard all the time. They certainly don't last forever, even in stock trim. I used to think the same way though... that with only these few...

    I'm not discounting you, '01 Steed. ;) If what you say is true, it will only take time for the general public to catch on.

    Buying Teksid this week... need crucial ?'s answered b4 purchasing

    Yeah I know about MPH, just don't know if I want to trailer the car across states to get to them... And I agree with you that it would be easier to just do a 4V swap with a KB big bore blower and call it a day, but I've still got that weight-bug in the back of my head. The 32V heads are...

    Buying Teksid this week... need crucial ?'s answered b4 purchasing

    I'd like to be in the neighborhood of 650-700 at the wheels with the use of a twin-screw blower, and as always -> want room to grow. I want aluminum for one reason -> weight (This isn't a straight-line car) I admit that I like the feeling of security Teksids are known to offer... that my...

    Buying Teksid this week... need crucial ?'s answered b4 purchasing

    This is what I think I know to be fact so far: 1.) Lincoln Continentals had FWD Teksid block that will not work in Mustangs. Oil filter is on the opposite side and the block is machined to take a different bellhousing to bolt up to the trans-axle. 2.) 93+ Lincoln Mark VIII's had Teksid...

    Exhuasted search - Cobra Crank question still unanswered...

    Tech Forum? ...or Kindergarten Forum? Being a moderator means not letting this place turn into the "Almost Anything Goes" LS1.com fourm. :nonono: I can't believe a flame war started in a TECH thread because of a whimsical/light-hearted jab at the dealership folks. It sucks, when in a...

    Sen...si..tive... Take a pill, man. Continue reading and you'll see my last post (just before yours) where I acknowledged that not all dealership guys are morons. I expected more from you than this. Also, please note my use of the :D smilie preceding my comment. C'mon, slow down and read...

    Exhuasted search - Cobra Crank question still unanswered...

    Hmm, ok thanks guys. And I know not all dealership guys are as clueless as others. I just have trust issues with those guys from past experiences. GM's ASE cert techs were always the worst - took two hours one night for them to figure out how to program my new keyless remote to my Z28. They...

    :D Those guys have to consult a manual to figure out to unscrew the oil cap. I don't go to a dealership for anything.

    Exhuasted search - Cobra Crank question still unanswered...

    All I want to know, is -> What is the difference in 96-98 Cobra Forged Crank and an 03/04 Cobra Forged Steel Crank? Are they both the routine 4340 steel forged 8-bolt part? Is one any stronger than the other? Is one weighted any better/differently(better balanced) than the other? Wouldn't...

    '05+ brakes on '96+ spindle? Considering 14" brakes...

    Does anyone know if the 2005-2007 14" brake kits are compatible with our '96+ spindles? I've seen Brembo calipers that are supposedly the FRPP 2007 Shelby GT500 calipers for 14" rotors, but I don't know how different the brakes are on the front of the '05+ GT's... It'd be great if the 14" '05+...

    What valves do I need to support my Non-PI Boost application?

    Ok, so I wasn't totally wrong... So if the gap of power between 2 & 4-valve narrows with boost then I suppose my idea of the air getting in there no matter what wasn't totally wrong. The reason that I decided to just use what I had in the way of heads was because of Kenne Bell's results with...

    What valves do I need to support my Non-PI Boost application?

    First let me answer the question you closed with: Yes, its worth it. I'll be able to put together the exhaust, fuel and spark along with the entire engine & blower setup for nearly $10K, but I couldn't do it without friends, hook-ups and being an anal shopper. I have no doubts that $20K is a...
