The reason I ask is because I got to talkin to an old schooler. He used to run his 68 or 69 mustang at the track. He gave me a couple tips. If...

    FR Handling Pack

    Well I came up on some lucky money playing Keno up in Lake Tahoe last Thursday. I got the Ford Racing Handling Pack placed on order yesterday. I am surprised how cheap the installation that was quoted to me is. So parts and labor is a little under 2500. I am also going to look into a hood swap...

    I went to the Grand Am Cup Race last weekend at Laguna Seca. Plenty of Mustangs to see. I got to talk to one of the techs on the exhaust set up of one of the FR500C racers and he referred me to the Ford Racing site and he told me about some of the parts they have now. So I came home and did...

    Shorty JBAs

    I have decided to order the JBA shorty headers(titanium) they will be installed next Friday the 17th. Anyone else running with these? If so did you keep the stock power cables? I was thinking about the performance cables JBA puts out. The stock ones should be fine i'd think.
