    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Let me get this straight? You only want to go 12's and you think you need 400 rwhp? In a 3300 lb race weight Fox Body? My race weight is 3700 lb and I have been in the 12's with approximately 309 rwhp (race conditions) with a pitiful 2.017 60'. At 3300 lb race weight if you have suspension...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    If you decide to go 351W consider machining it for the factory hyd roller setup and buying a used set of GT40P already set up with the right springs. You can get very good deals that include"P" Headers from Fox-Body Guys stepping up to Aluminum Heads. There are also all sorts of deals...

    On a budget.. which motor would you build?

    Stock C8/C9/D0/D1/D3 Fordd 429/460 Heads all flow in the 270-280 cfm range and can be ported to flow in the 350 cfm (750 bhp) range. Airflow is power! My choice would be the big block. Talk to Scotty at http://reincarnation-automotive.com about the options. He can do a very good set of...

    Doug at Bama is the Greatest!

    I do apologize for not posting this in talk! I dont know how I ended up putting it in tech. I have had nothing but excellent service. He has also been extremely friendly on the phone. I do feel your pain on the email situation. I almost didnt do business with him because my first two...

    Doug at Bama is the Greatest!

    I had ordered a S197 GT JLTII+SCT XCAL3 Pkg from Doug at Bama and I thought you would all want to know about this. Doug is a pretty decent tuner but he is a GREAT Individual! In calling to report the dramatic performance increase with just his CAI/Tune in the first outing compared to my...

    how much power increase can i expect ...

    Pypes is likely the best deal on a OR H-Pipe. $174 Shipped from Brenspeed last I checked. Maybe 8 rwhp. An X will net you maybe 2 more rwhp but the make a Mustang sound like a Foreign Car to my ear. I would try just the ORH with the stock Mufflers first. They are pretty free flowing and...

    ? about 4.10 Gears

    Thats because your like me! Bad butt dyno. I cant feel less than 0.5 seconds. To much time in fast cars (read 1/4 quicker than my S197's 1/8).

    Thats my combo! Car is 100% Stock (including 17" Pirellis) otherwise. Check my Sig for results. The air was 600' Worse when I ran the CAI/Tune and Im comparing an all time best vs one day at the track. In otherwords I think the difference is actually understated! A CAI/Tune is the best...

    Single BEST and WORST about your 05+???

    Best: Its a Mustang! Worst: Its a Mustang! Meaning its affordable (Under $25,000 for a GT if you deal). Its quick. Its stylish. It handles decent. Meaning you are not going to have the refinement of a Lexus or the overall performance of a C6 Vette. Basically if you have $25,000 to...

    Super Snake...605hp and 12.5 quarter mile...WTF?

    Just to get some idea look at the C6 Z06 times in the mags. Then think about this. With a really good driver and stone stock including the tires they have gone 11.19

    Sorry for such a newb question but....

    Because Ford had to make a choice..... Small intake ports (remember the pre-PI ports?) or bigger intake ports and trick them into thinking they were small at low rpm. BTW If you look at the bottom of the intake runners you will see the alumium assembly that houses the butterflys. You will...

    Back Pressure ?

    In practical terms you are kind of correct, Technically thats incorrect. With a correctly designed cam and exhaust (for the proper velocity curve) you dont really want back pressure. In fact you want negative pressure. However what most people mean by backpressure is I want exhaust that is...
