    What would be your first few mods?

    well, since you're asking... IMHO you shouldn't bother with the dual exhaust. it won't provide any power gains. since you bought the v-6 be proud of where it started. make it fast and keep it single exhaust. JMHO ;) if you like music definately get the stereo. don't bother with the...

    Is the 5.0 superior to the 4.6 in any other way then cheapness?

    very good point michael. and in that regards for the extreme engines the 4.6 is worlds better. i guess sirsureshot said it best with "pick your poison" take care, -steve

    Is the 5.0 superior to the 4.6 in any other way then cheapness?

    agreed michael, that's why i said: to elaborate on my last post. the 4.6 is most definately the better design, but with the aluminum block i wouldn't want to push it or the 5.0 beyond the 500hp mark (if that far). also the 4.6 makes up for the smaller displacement with revs and better...

    Is everybody here using Friction Modifier??

    if i remember correctly the auburn in a cone-type torque sensing unit. no clutches so once it wears out it's done. -steve

    Is the 5.0 superior to the 4.6 in any other way then cheapness?

    with the exception of the 03cobra block the 5.0 is stronger than the 4.6. also, all else being equal the 5.0 will make more power due to the extra displacement.

    anti-swaybar technical discussion

    good stuff. any idea how stiff would be too stiff? if i were to keep the stock front bar and swap to a rear bar ~2x as stiff would i risk inducing snap oversteer? -steve

    anti-swaybar technical discussion

    how did the smaller bar affect your handling? i would think it would actually hurt cornering performance being smaller, no? ok guys, try this one on: from what i understand a stiffer front swaybar will increase understeer and a stiffer rear will increase oversteer. since the mustang LOVES...

    anti-swaybar technical discussion

    cavallo- did you notice any difference with the new bar? i'm sure the poly bushings tightened things up a lot too. when i get down to business my setup should include a t/a & panhard setup so i can lose the factory uppers. anyhow, i'm just looking for some more tech info on swaybars, what...

    anti-swaybar technical discussion

    thanks for the reply rick91gt. no, i'm not really either. my car is a daily driver so i'm really looking for a good balance. dragstrip performance is MORE important to me than cornering but i don't want to have a car with no front bar, skinnies etc. beyond that i just like to have the...

    anti-swaybar technical discussion

    title says it. i want to know what bars people are using and why. i've read several articles on the principles of tuning with your bars, and how they work but i wanted to bring it up here to see what the stang community thinks. i'm slowly building up my suspension and the swaybars are coming...

    what track times

    i'm not 100% sure but i've heard that the cobra maf (70mm) uses the same electronics/calibration as the stock 5L HO and the 24lb injectors are calibrated via the x3m processor. i've also heard that it's the same maf they put on the sn95 5.0's. the point is, if my memory serves me correctly you...

    93 cobra engine difference from a 5.0?

    cobra - 70mm maf, 65mm (i think) t/b, cobra intake, gt40 heads, cobra cam, 24lb/hr injectors, cobra specific ecu (xcm i think??). i think they also came with an oil cooler but not 100%. -steve

    Exhaust project

    FWIW i'm not sure an arc welder is going to be the best thing. you'd probably want a mig for the thin wall exhaust tubing. -steve

    Lowering rumor.

    95 cd player problem

    common problem and the only fix i would consider is swapping in an aftermarket head unit. if you really want to fix you stock cd player i think there is an old thread that explains how. do a search for mach460 or something. -steve

    The Truth about FOX FRONT BRAKES!

    ok, this i could understand if the pad size were increased to make up for the area which is now holes. i understand that surface area doesn't affect the Cf but i would think the the bigger contact patch at any given Cf would help you to brake better by transferring more heat to the rotor...

    The Truth about FOX FRONT BRAKES!

    chaka- i understand what you are saying about surface area not affecting the Cf, but when you replace metal rotor surface with air that would reduce the Cf, no? ie with drilling you increase surface area but decrease brake pad contact area, would that not in turn decrease Cf? thanks -steve

    The Truth about FOX FRONT BRAKES!

    so let me get this straight (as i'm not an engineer), you're saying that the coefficient of friction between the pad and rotor is equivalent (or very close) to the coefficient of friction between the pad and the (air in the) holes/slots? please do elaborate. -steve
