    two 05 gt`s run at the track... [video]

    It's already been addressed, but still worth pointing out, the '05 GTO isn't available yet. I've heard and read it will be in January, but that's over 1 month away and personally, I don't expect to see it for months after that... Like May. By the time it's a solid street car(and they won't...

    two 05 gt`s run at the track... [video]

    Cool. That's one and that's good. Thanks for posting it. I've been looking and not found others, so yours is evidently the quickest while being the only one known to run 13.2's stock. It's amazing that it's gone 13.1 to boot! :nice: I don't expect the same to happen with a factory stock '05...

    Manual Rack vs. Power Rack

    I got a manual brake master cylinder, and can't remember the year model I chose. However, there are Mustang performance companies that sell the M/C and adapter plate so it's not so hard to get. Buying/building my own saved money and I looked at different options(which is why I can't remember the...

    Found a 2.3T now what?

    If you want to do a swap, you'll need it's ECM, entire engine, perhaps the trans too. You'll also want to look into the rearend. The wiring harness is all but a must have. If you try to install a turbo on your standard 2.3 block, you may regret it soon thereafter. Your internals aren't as good...

    two 05 gt`s run at the track... [video]

    Have you run 13.2 or 13.5 on the 1/4 mile? I believe the latter at this point, and that included modifications, right? The same Mustang has evidently run 13.603 or close with no mods, but better weather and more than two trips to the dragstrip.

    My GT will be sold back to the Local Dealer

    Colonel, I see you're in many prayers and that includes mine. If there's any way you can see to keep the car, it may end up in good hands of a close friend or relative at your request. I'm sure money isn't your issue, and hope your decision simply makes YOU happy. Fight your best fight...

    Time has come to choose cam for 351w project!

    The 5.0 HO and 351W share the same firing order because in 1982, Ford decided to use the 351W camshaft in the 5.0L engine, making it an "HO" I'd think there were other slight changes, but that's a nutshell of it. The 302 isn't technically a "W" block. I agree that cam is a good one for a...

    Manual Rack vs. Power Rack

    I'm told the 79 model will replace the power rack. That said, I chose the F.R. assembly. I'm extremely happy with it. Bolt it was a no brainer and there's not a problem in sight. I've had it since 2002.

    Fox body v-6?

    For supercharging, I wouldn't think to use a pre 89 3.8L V6. Even then it's debatable as to the worth. Those engines are okay with decent boost levels, but have inherent problems with high boost, particularly in pre 89 blocks. I'd rather a 2.3L Turbo 4 banger myself. It's definitely more capable...

    Time has come to choose cam for 351w project!

    Say, huh...Wha.....BWAHAHAHAHA! Those heads would be on the "lucky" side if they managed 300cfm on the intake side when stock. 500 won't happen with any amount of mods. Heheheh Sorry, I had to laugh. With the proper pistons, lift is hardly limited, and certainly not to .5anything. .560-.580 will...

    two 05 gt`s run at the track... [video]

    There's been '05 GT's to stop the clocks in 13.60's other than the magazine. As for factory stock GTO's running 13.2's, I'm having trouble finding even one. Hook me up. Doc's, for example, has run a best 1/4 mile of 13.506 @105.36(according to his sig on LS1gto.com) and it has a few mods...

    boost or Cube's

    Having a 408, my choice is clear. The difference in power is obvious too. There's no chance a stock 5.0HO block can match the power of a 408 without breaking into pieces. Even with a blower, you can't expect it to reach the potential of a well built 408, which could last much longer thanks to...

    calling all floridians

    Yep, it's hot, but what's new? I think it's reached at least 94 around mt place for the last 5 or more days... Anyway, are you looking for a particular brand, or style intake? I noticed EFI, but does it matter which beyond that?

    Well I don't know now if they're really going... I'm not though. At least not this weekend. I'm going to try to get my new Mustang re-wired and running. Gotta get moving on it so I can go DRAG RACING! I'm running out of patience with it(like it will do itself :rolleyes: )... :p

    People still live in Ocala? :p My brother and his family are going up next weekend to look around for a new place to live. I was considering going too, just cause I think I've had about enough of West Palm. :barf:

    As much trouble as the west side of the state is having due to some 20" of recent rain, I can't imagine anyone trying to water, much less getting complained to about it. :shrug:
