    Sheila Vs. turbo RSX (boo)

    Man, don't know what the point of doing all those mods to your engine is if you buy ****ing H-rated pep boys tires :) But you keep mentioning drag radials - if you use them you can launch nicely..

    Sheila Vs. turbo RSX (boo)

    Wow, some people posting suggestions about the RSX-S when they know nothing about it. It has crappy quarter mile times yes, because it's low on torque and is horrible with a launch. If your traction is non-existant with a Mustang, you're doing something wrong. Mustangs win by beating people...

    To trickflow street heat kit owners...

    I personally don't know why you'd start doing heads when your engine's seen 130k miles.. different mentality, but I'd rather have a solid base before modification. Also, you will need to notch your pistons only if you have an 86.

    Dyno numbers!!

    Big Blocks and Coupes

    I was often considering a similar project, but when you can get a 408 to over 500 hp easily or just get a built 306 with a power adder, you'll be making as much if not more power than a big block. I mean they're a cool concept and all, I'm just not sure if I see the point. On another note...

    # of Cats on Fox Body H-Pipe

    Yeah, it's just four cats... two on each side, one after another. Hope you didn't bet any money.

    gt and lx

    Well in my area yes, especially since GT's here register as MUSTANG GT COBRA as opposed to LX 5.0, really scares a lot of the insurance companies.

    GT's are a lot more expensive on insurance :) Other than that, it's all cosmetic...

    just had an idea...good? bad? retarted?

    Both A/C and heater core were removed on my previous stang. Yes, it was really hot in the summer and really cold in the fall, but no other problems :P

    Why are you Mustang and Cobra buyers so CHEAP.

    1. I was responding to DMAN302, hence the fact that I quoted his post. 2. Refer to 1 if there is still some misunderstanding.

    Why are you Mustang and Cobra buyers so CHEAP.

    Closer to 85c of a US dollar now.. so 8500 US.

    Should I delete my front sway bar?

    I've heard good and bad things about removing the front swaybar.. it's off mine, but I've never actually driven it on the road (no power steering pump, slicks, open headers) so I have no personal experience. I think it's a good bit of weight though, like 20. Just as another thought for you...

    more power with cats, why?

    The stock cats are incredibly restrictive- unless you had some major exhaust leak or something, I think you're just crazy :D

    Why are you Mustang and Cobra buyers so CHEAP.

    HAH! That's what people THINK. Idiots here try and sell their fox bodies for 10, 12, 15, 20k and think that they'll get it. It's a goddamned joke. And then they complain why no one will buy their car, just like what's happening now. I picked up my fox for 2k CDN, mint body. Some people...

    larger 4-lug front brakes?

    Ah.. yes well, upgraded they're good for the street. I thought if you'd be doing track racing there would be no need to stick with 16" wheels :shrug:

    larger 4-lug front brakes?

    How much larger do you want to go? Arent they around 11" rotors stock? Go too much bigger and you won't even fit 16's in there... I think :shrug: There are a lot of things you can do to improve braking performance without going to larger rotors. Edit: oh, by the way, it's SVO calipers...

    Better choice than E cam

    Don't mean to hijack, but how are the 4:30 gears at the track? I've always been told even 4:10's are pushing it, as they max out in 4th gear pretty quickly even with a 28" tire.

    Blow Off Valve?

    Yes, it can be done. You can purchase a kit off e-bay that shoots compressed air when you shift, mimicking the bov sound. But it's pretty gay :)

    True or Not !!!

    The internals are not the problem.. I think there were forged internals in the 5.0 until they moved to hypereutectic in 92 or something, not sure on the year. The block can't handle that much power and cracks. Haven't heard of any internals alone breaking under that kind of power unless there...

    5.0 Question

    Well, according to the Mustang GT registry (and gears do not differ from GT and LX), it's 3:27's for AOD and 2:73's for 5 spd, and that's for 85-93.
