    Brake rotor change and upgrade

    I posted this over at Corral and it seems nobody has slotted rotors or that nobody cares to tell me anything about them if they do. Can you guys help? I am buying a front and rear Cobra brake replacement kit for my 96GT and have a couple of questions. I want to get slotted rotors with the kit...

    Drop it. I am a looks first and performance second guy. If the car runs pretty good right now then make it look awesome.

    Badge removal

    I have a 96GT and was curious as to if it has holes or not? Does anyone know if it does and if so which ones? Thanks Rob

    What modification to launch my automatic?

    Does that Jerry mod kit help? If you install a shift kit is it difficult? Do you have to take out and tear apart the entire tranny? Is the stock tranny good enough to keep using if you upgrade to a shift kit? Don't mean to hijack thread but this is something I to have been wondering about...

    01 Cobra, Bullit or Mach 1

    It would be a tough decision but either one would be a nice car. I damn near bought a Mach1 today. I took a buddy looking for cars and since he wants a Trans Am I was trying to convince him to get a Mustang instead. I ended up nearly buying a new Mach 1 while we were there instead of him...

    L/Ts and Magnaflow X w/cats

    That is the same thing I am going to run in to. I however will have the cats cut off and just go with straight through exhaust. May be a little loud though:)

    D.S.S. motors and strokers

    Did you ever get your tune? I figured that a DSS motor would put out more power than 430 with a blower. Would their really be a lot more work involved with putting on the DOHC than using the PI heads? Also, did you modify your tranny any when you upgraded your motor? I wrote down your...

    D.S.S. motors and strokers

    I posted a thread recently about what to build if you had some cash to burn and now it is time to finalize the ideas. I was thinking of using either a cobra motor or a new assembly for my 96GT but I can't make the decision. I am looking at D.S.S. motors and thinking of using the 4.6 Pro...

    HELP ME FIX MY 4.6 ITS OVERHEATING!!!

    How hot do these usually run? Mine runs on the M in normal on the gauge. That is over half way and that worried me at first. Is there any way to make it run cooler so that the Fan doesn't always turn on?

    CD's getting stuck in Mach 460

    Factory CD players eventually crap out. Whether its GM or Ford they all crap out eventually. Also, they get really hot and only play half the CD's you put in without ejecting them.

    Cobra brakes on my GT

    Did anyone get the powdercotated rotors? I wonder if the silver would hold up? I want slotted rotors as well and if the kits come with rotors, red calipers, and steel hoses for 1199.99 I probably will get them. That seems pretty decent compared to going and getting the actual brakes from a...

    SUMITOMO HTRZ II'S FOR THE REAR?

    I have the Sumitomos and love them. They are a great tire for the money. I was going to get BFG's but seen these and love them. Will definitely stick with them.

    Cobra brakes on my GT

    I'll definitely be interested. I want to make it look nice. I'm not a huge fan of the pony on the caliper but I have a GT so I don't want the COBRA either. They are good looking though.

    What exactly is "rasp"?

    Yes that is the rasp. My O/R pipe does it at real low rpm when driving. In first gear and at idle it doesn't do it.

    Cobra brakes on my GT

    I know this has been asked before but I need to know for sure what to get and do. I want to get rid of the stock rotors and calipers on my 96GT because I got new chrome bullets and the brakes look like crap. I want a good replacement setup and like the painted or powdercoated or whatever they...

    Midpipe for Flowmasters with no drone?

    I have a Magnaflow pipe with my flowmasters and it doesn't drone badly. It is extremely raspy though and it drives me crazy. Sounds good through first gear and when I get on it but sucks at low rpm in town.

    PRICES!!!!

    That wouldn't sound horrible for taking all of your internals out of your motor and installing them into another motor. I do have to ask though, why did you want to use the stock pistons and rods and crank if you are already changing them from one motor to another? I can see that money would...

    Hypothetical motor question, let's dream!

    Dss sells complete motors don't they? I didn't see any on there sight to look at. Are they about the same price range as T&J and Livernois? As for gears do you guys have a certain brand that you like better? I was thinking just ford racing or Richmond but don't know much about either one...
