    Nope was not me.....

    Stock shortblock does not equal stock longblock with stock intake :nonono:. 10 psi on an otherwise stock 5.0 will break 300 whp, but not by a large margin...

    Nope was not me.....

    Yup. I have one. Some turbocharged ****boxes ARE fast. :lol:

    Nope was not me.....

    If the engine is bone stock, including heads, intake, etc ... then a mild turbo setup wouldn't be that impressive at all. Just because it's turbocharged does not make it fast...

    decent run with a 94 gt last night

    This was on a private road, right? Smokedya -- Will has a Cobra, not a GT, and it's pretty hard to miss :D. He was also selling it I believe, but I don't know if that ever happened...

    Cascade? I'll have to come out with my camera in case you go 4-byin'. :D

    Whats the clearance of the stock valve covers to the rockers?

    Find a set of fox body covers, they'll fit perfectly and give you more room -- enough for almost any rocker short of Scorpions. And even those would work with a thick gasket and some grinding on the covers.

    Eliminating O2's

    Yup, too far. At idle the O2 sensors cool off and start reading a false lean condition, which causes the ECU to add fuel. On mine it would happen as soon as I started idling, and within a few minutes the trims would be maxed out. If you cannot find a way to keep the sensors hot enough to...

    What makes our Stangs the bar?

    True, it has evolved into that for the most part. Although there are plenty of people on this forum that would call my STI rice because it was made in Japan. I'm screwed, then :D. I admit that there are times I actually like the park-bench-wing on my car :lol:. It still makes me chuckle...

    Ooooh, that's niiiiiiiice Paul. :nice:

    I caught a wreck on video tape today....

    Revenge is a dish best served cold. Some time when he least expects it, someone is going to get "The Green GT" to click on a tubgirl link... :rlaugh:

    help....still can't get the timing right....

    So, it won't start at all? Are you positive that you have the plugs wired in the right direction? Knowing the firing order is only half the battle. Not that I ever did that or anything. :rlaugh:

    Eliminating O2's

    Are those kooks header longtubes? Where are the O2 sensors located relative to the head? I could easily see having the car run better in open loop than closed if the O2 sensors are far enough from the head to have heating problems. I've seen people force open loop to try and get their car...

    I caught a wreck on video tape today....

    Ahh, I see. I was looking forward to an interesting video. I must be getting old... :nonono:

    What makes our Stangs the bar?

    LOL! This is too easy, kinda like taking candy from a baby. Very insightful, and I agree 100%. To be fair, I'd need to compare my STI to a new Mustang. If I took the money I spent on my 2006 STI and dropped it on a 12 year old Impreza, that would be more comparable. LOL. I must have been...

    Errr... "RickRoll'D" Not the video you were thinking of...

    What makes our Stangs the bar?

    Ahh, speaking of which ... there is a local guy with an 80's Camaro that he thinks is pretty hot. And get this ... he even has an honest-to-god mullet! The real deal! Unfortunately he's right. IIRC the Camaro runs an 8.x quarter mile :lol:. But still ... a mullet? That's just wrong...

    5.0's what happened

    The HO cam used in the GT isn't actually all that bad. The cam in the Cobra, however, is pathetic...

    Whats up with my balancer?? Timing related...

    When I put my Romac back on, the timing marks were flat out wrong. It runs great ... with about 30* of timing retard as indicated. :lol: Possible it spun. Seems unlikely for a Romac. Not sure what you're seeing, probably unrelated. I felt like replying though...

    What did you get for...

    A lot depends on your market, the color of the car, and timing. When I listed my car the first time, I got almost zero interest. When I relisted it a few weeks later, I got a half dozen calls in the first 24 hours. Part of it in my case was the color -- yellow. Love it or hate it, there is...
