    best year

    You're likely going to be limited to the 94-95 or 96-98 models with a $5K budget. You might find a high mileage 99 for that, but it's doubtful. Buying a 99 would be like buying either of those with some mild mods already done to it, so If possible try and stretch the budget to what it takes to...

    Well I went to the race track *VID*

    I love how the shift into second jerks the camera over so you can see the tach, then the shift into third jerks it back over to where you can't. :)

    Need STANGNET opinion on new car

    Looking at the wheels on that GT, this was the first thing that came to mind. Go with the Cobra!

    fuel economy and cam

    Oh, I didn't think we were allowed to worry about mileage, but since I've got your permission I'll help. The mod that hurts your mileage the most is your right foot. If you can keep it off of the floorboard you will find your mileage improves dramatically. The only mod that will by-itself...

    fuel economy and cam

    You're not allowed to ask that question, blackfang says you shouldn't be worried about it so you shouldn't.

    fuel economy and cam

    Still waiting on you to give a reason why, other than because you say so. It's been stated by several people in this thread that horrible mileage isn't necessary just because you have modded your car. Though you've got me on the nitrous, I can't see how that could be good for the mileage. :)

    fuel economy and cam

    Maybe you're not, but I hardly think that puts you in the situation to decide what anyone else with a V8 should be worried about. The question was asked, either answer it or bow out gracefully, but there's no need to proclaim from on high what other people should be worried about.

    fuel economy and cam

    On the contrary, having HP and not using it all the time actually leads to better MPG. Any mod I've ever done to any of my cars hurts the gas mileage for a month or so until I finish playing with it all of the time, but only makes it better after that. Making more HP means the car is breathing...

    2001 GT, clean! or...... please help!

    Unfortunately he (she if you get down that way) forgot to touch anything else on it. :) To make the Mustang and TA being talked about equal you have to put the $6K difference between them back in to the Mustang. Once you've done that there's no question that the TA no longer wins the race...

    iPhone, do you have one?

    Apple is #2 in the desktop market behind Microsoft which has 90 plus percent. That's second place, hardly what I would call "lost in the computer market". Apple is not an Operating System company, they are a personal computing company. They are becoming what Microsoft wanted to become, the...

    iPhone, do you have one?

    You do realize that Apple stock is at an all-time high and this is generally considered the best the company has ever been doing, right? I hardly call that "lost in the computer market". You're not interested, that's fine, it's apparent you aren't in their target market. They've written...

    iPhone, do you have one?

    It's definitely the "coolest" phone I've ever had, and I'm very happy with mine overall. I didn't get any accessories with it, just the phone/charger base. Lots of iPod accessories work with it, though some don't fit as well as others. It's rather intuitive, like most Apple products, and...

    bbk 4.6 intake manifold

    I saved this when I came across it, I can't remember where from ATM (apologies to whomever took it). Sure doesn't look like a cheap intake to me, and much like the P51 it doesn't look like it uses stock fuel rails.

    What RPM should my Limiter be at?

    Based on what is in your two sigs I can't imagine you make peak power much/any higher than this.

    CC plates?

    Tolerances are different on every Mustang that's rolled off the line. Most don't need the CC plates with B or C springs but you can't ever tell until they're on there. You're OK for a week or so but the less driving the better until you get the CC plates in there.
