    Engine Work Is Done... Pics

    After four months of parts breakage and disappointment I finally got the car back last night. Now I just have to break in the new block, dial in the tune with some help from SCT and wait until my finances recover enough to drop in a blower. Info: .020 forged shortblock w/ 10.5cc dished...

    Belt Question (U/D Pulleys)

    My car had Steeda u/d pullies on it until the motor swap. Anyone know if the stock serpentine belt will still fit with the Steeda W/P & Alternator pulleys and a stock size crank pulley? I'm hoping it won't be too short. Thanks, Jay

    01 Cobra & 00 GT Fuel Pump/Bucket

    Were the 01 Cobra Fuel Pump, sender & bucket the same as the 2000 GT? I'm going to replace my Walbro pump w/ an aviator pump and I found a deal on a 01 Cobra fuel pump assembly including the bucket/sender. I was wondering if I installed the Aviator pump in this bucket would it be a direct...

    Is a catback worthwhile?

    Like the title says, is a catback worthwhile? I have the stock catback with flows welded in - I'm really wondering if it's causing a restriction and robbing me of power with only 1/4" difference in pipe diameter. Mods are in my sig. Jay

    More mods... Couple Questions??

    I'm wondering what the value would be to adding a catback and induction set up to my car? Currently, I have flows welded in and due to a problem with interference with the MAF I pulled my old CAI and I'm using the stock tube between the MAF & TB with an adapter off the end of the MAF for the...

    Cams & Heads (Vid)

    First, I apologize for the quality of the audio and size of the file, but you'll get the idea - car idles and cruises great!!! Couldn't ask for more right now. There is a noticeable difference - I got on it a little (couldn't help myself) and 2nd gear is GONE w/ the 4.10's - I mean you're doing...

    Performance Advice Needed... Any Thoughts Welcome!

    Hey guys, never posted over here and, frankly, don't know much about the venerable 5.0 engine. The situation is that a friend of mine is building a kit (Cobra) based on an '87 5.0 he picked up. It's a father/son project and he wants a little extra kick when it comes to performance. He is...

I put the car on the dyno yesterday w/ wideband to make sure the fuel system was dialed in and I'm a little disappointed with the HP/TQ numbers - 239.1/275. I have to figure something is possibly "off" somewhere - others with similar...

    Guys, I'll be installing a new 255 lph fuel pump on my '00 GT this weekend (ordered from Tim so it's the right pump for the returnless system). Any tips on the install? I'm already aware of the following: 1. As little fuel as possible in the tank to reduce weight 2. Quick disconnect tool...

    Info On Stage 8 Header Bolts

    Looking for a little advice. I am planning on changing out the headers on my '00 GT starting the day after Christmas. I have the Stage 8 locking header bolts, but recently got some info that is making me think twice about using them. I was told it's not a good idea to install them right away...

    Looking for a new hood - Opinions/Info

    '00 GT Vert - Thinking about the Stalker hood or the Cobra R hood. I like the '03 Cobra hood, but I don't think it fits right without the front bumper. Any other suggestions? Thoughts on price for painting? Thanks, Jay
