Holy moly, you guys are paying a fortune to do a head swap. It's honestly not that hard, especially for a mustang speciality shop..Around here you can get it done for $500 or so (which is still too much IMO)
The wheel looks OK in that second pic, still a little off imo. Maybe Im just too anal. The only suggestion I would make is it to paint the steering wheel collar to match.
Yeah but it has the ricey tips, they look good on a 99-up but Im not too crazy about them on a SN95 or fox. Now if they had the angle cut tips like oem, flomaster, mac, dynomax, bassani, etc.. then I would be all over that deal.
So this is definitely better than a stock system, right? I wonder how much less HP this kit makes compared to the traditional flowmasters/mac mufflers..
Another Burger King here! I had, by far, the best costume of the nite!! Got up on stage and won 3rd prize at the local dance club

According to your link I was correct, they are $175 a wheel. Actually how does $149 a wheel sound for BRAND NEW REAL Cobra Rs?

I'm not trying to be an ass like some others in this thread...just trying to be the realist...
Well figure a brand new set goes for $560 and usually when I sell stuff I always sell for 50% of what I payed for it, but you have decent tires...So I would say 500-600. $800-900 seems a bit too optimistic IMO.
An aluminum DS cured my high speed vibration problem. I chalked it up to new u-joints though which can be had for like 8 bucks each. It's good to loose rotational mass weight though. On top of that it comes new with ujoints and balanced.
As for clearance issuse I had the ebrake bracket...
Totally not worth it, and just like a previous poster said...does the extra 15k justify it's "rareness"?? Maybe if it was a Cobra R, but not a hardtop Cobra vert. This isn't a Shelby that we're talking about here... Heck that's 1995 Cobra R, S351, 03/04 Cobra, 03/04 Mach 1 and even used 05...
Never had it dyno-tuned so I don't really know. Just to get an idea, I beat my cousin's C5 vette with CAI, Pulleys, Cat-Back and I've turned 109mph in the 1/4. That same night my cousin's vette turned 104mph.
My vote is for the supercharger (for lower mileage engines)...I'm faster than all my friends with HCI and my idle is rock solid. If you're looking to rebuild your engine due to miles/age then I would do HCI first.
My advice is to just wait and save up for a better head. Most people on here will NOT sell you a decent set of GT40s for cheap. You will end up spending plenty of $$$ and by that time you will be in aluminum head territory...not worth it for a used rebuilt head.
