    Nitrous

    I'd personally recommend a wet kit for the sole reason that enrichment fuel is added with the nitrous, and the stock fuel system isn't required to pick up the slack. Nitrous backfires are pretty much a non-issue if you play it safe. Get the wet kit, an RPM window switch (to start the spray after...

    Black Beauty headlights installed, pics inside

    That seam bugs me too, figured you perfectionists would pick it out ;) I guess nothing's perfect, I was thinking of getting smoked corners but I think it would look funny up close having the lens of the corners smoked and the headlights clear. To the fella who commented about the bulbs, I've got...

    Black Beauty headlights installed, pics inside

    I found it hard to decide on headlights back when I was searching because there wasn't too many pictures around, so I figured I'd post a few of mine :nice: I really liked how they turned out, huuuuge improvement over stock. For those not familiar, the black beauties have a black housing but a...

    Does the finish on the BBK cai last?

    So I've always liked the looks of the BBK cai, and just got my disputed speeding ticket thrown away so I figured I'd treat myself :nice: For those who have one, does the finish hold up over time or does it blemish? How's the overall fit and finish/ quality of the piece?

    What color top and where to get it?

    +1 A black canvas top from an '03 cobra would look slick with laser red. I'd be leery about colour matching, its a cool idea but I'd imagine it would be impossible to get it exact and having it a little off would look wierd imho :shrug:

    Black housing lights or clears... laser red

    That's a good idea, I'm also going to run a bead of silicone along the seals just in case. The only downfall is the black beauties were much more expensive than the rest... I hope they last. I'm also planning to ditch these ****ty wheels at some point and go with '03 cobras, so I figure they'll...

    Black housing lights or clears... laser red

    Looking good guys, I went with the black beauties :nice: I think they have the clean look of the clears, but still have some smoked-like aggressiveness.

    Black housing lights or clears... laser red

    Hey guys, I'm torn between the black-housing style headlights (ie: black beauties) and clears. I really dig the smoked look, but I don't plan to go HID anytime soon and I drive at night frequently, so I'm going to keep it between clears or black-housing. What do you think would go best with my...

    Post Pics Of Yourself

    Here's one of me when I first bought the 'stang a few years ago in my senior year of highschool, man was I stoked :nice: Going for a drive up the mountain with my girl and my little sis in the back Not one of me... but some girls from school "painted" my car with post-its for a grad...

    Nitrous install complete

    I'm still very impressed that you got a 15lb bottle under that seat :jaw: Could you snap a few more pictures of it when you get a chance? Did you essentially have to remove all the padding from the seat for that to work? I've always wanted to try something like this, but I don't want to make the...

    Nitrous install complete

    Thats a clean setup man :nice: If you get the chance, could you post more pictures of your bottle mount? I didn't even expect a 10 lb would fit in there, and you shoehorned a 15! I'm curious to see how that all works.

    WOW I'm P***ed off!

    I think the AC kicks off when you floor it, maybe you were just in the wrong rpm range :shrug:

    Max power with stock GT cam?

    I'm very stoked on this build, I'll be following your progress :nice:

    Max power with stock GT cam?

    An aftermarket or custom grind cam will obviously make more power and extend the power band, but at the cost of low end torque and street manners. Grady's GT is an excellent example of what a meticulous tune and well matched custom cam can do to help streetability and power go hand in hand, but...

    Max power with stock GT cam?

    Cutting a low et does not define a good street setup, as said there are too many factors that come into play here (note a light race weight), I was merely putting forth some information I had regarding how effective stock cam setups are. While on the topic of streetability... retaining a good...

    Max power with stock GT cam?

    This is my thinking too. I want to do a stock cam setup with aluminum heads but there isn't much love for these kind of setups out there ;) I dug up an old PM conversation I had with Schlodes, he does very well with his stock shortblock, stock cam, afr 165s and performer intake. I asked him...

    Oil burning 5.0, can it be diagnosed without tearing bottom end down?

    Meant to quote bullitt95 there, my bad. I know you've got the same idea as me :nice:

    Oil burning 5.0, can it be diagnosed without tearing bottom end down?

    Believe me, I'd go all out if I could afford to do both, but I simply can't in one season. The "right" way to do it would be to refresh the bottom end and do an H/C/I, thus removing all doubt. ;) The H/C/I, supporting mods, and tuning already give me a nice fat bill, I can't imagine adding a...

    Oil burning 5.0, can it be diagnosed without tearing bottom end down?

    Thats what I'm thinking, just doesn't make sense to me to have ring issues yet. The owner before me was middle aged and had to get rid of the car for a minivan for his growing family, didn't seem like the kind of guy who beat the car to a pulp, but I guess you never know :shrug: The explorer...

    Oil burning 5.0, can it be diagnosed without tearing bottom end down?

    Awwww man, nothing's ever easy with stangs :crazy: At this point I'm wondering if its worth it to install the H/C/I for this winter's project with the short block as is, if it solves my problem then great :nice: If not, I'll live with it for the year, then pull the motor and do a rebuild/...
