    How often do you s/c guys have to replace belts

    I had a problem with belt slippage when I changed to a 2.75" pulley. After playing with different belt sizes I ended up with the right size and I haven't changed the belt since. It looks brand new and there is no belt slip. Its probably been on there 1 year (granted, I've only driven 7-8k miles...

    Who Changed from Flowmaster to Magnaflow??

    I switched from dronemasters to magnaflows. I noticed zero power difference between the stock system, flows, or magnaflows. I made the switch because the flows drone like crazy. The magnaflows don't sound as aggressive but the drone is very minimal.

    Blown 4.6!!!

    I know you've already made your decision, but if it doesn't work out, Steen Racing is a lot closer to you and they build a lot of motors. I had mine built there and its solid as a rock. http://www.steenracing.com

    Very nice! Is the Bullitt intake polished or powdercoated? How much did it cost?

    Badge removal

    I had my car debadged when I got the body kit put on. I just got it back last Friday. The body shop filled the holes and repainted the entire car (it had been in an accident, so I was getting this work done anyway). Click on the pic for a larger version:

    302/351 Engine Block Question

    Your 4.6l engine is built off of a 4.6 iron block. They were either built in the Winsor plant or the Romeo plant, depending on the year. The 4v engine was built off a 4.6l block as well, except that it is made from aluminum (there are other minor differences). You could build a 2v engine using...

    I'm sooo pissed at Saleen right now!

    I would send back the 3 other rims and get Saleen replica rims. They aren't quite as good quality but very good nonetheless (and a hell of a lot cheaper). You can also get the rears in 18X10, which looks very nice. Check them out here: http://www.wheelreplicas.com/sstyle.htm

    How much boost can a stock intake withstand?

    The intake (not the intake elbow, which is what a c&l is) will not break under boost. I don't know why people think this. The only time you have to worry is if you're spraying a wet shot of nitrous. Like someone already said, there are cars out there making 600hp with the stock intake. Thats...

    Magnaflow Catback Drone Question

    I have a vert with bassani catted x pipe and magnaflow cat back. I hear a significant drone as well. I have to say, though, compared to the flowmaster cat back I had on there before, the drone is nothing. I was also under the expectation that the manaflow exhaust would eliminate the drone, based...

    where to buy saleen style wing?

    From I saw and the comments my body shop made, these wings are very difficult to install properly. Its not like the stock wing where you can drill 4 holes and drop it in. The Saleen wing only has 2 attachment points. I believe my shop ended up scewing it in in several places and then filling the...

    where to buy saleen style wing?

    Got a complete Saleen body kit from Haney Motorsports www.haneymotorsport.com I was pretty pleased with the service and price. It shipped out very quickly. My only complaint was that the kit was shipped together in a flimsy box with no support. When it arrived the box was shredded and the...

    295 to a 285 Noticable?

    I have a 285 on a 10" rim. It doesn't look too bad. However, side by side with a 295 you can tell it is a little sucked in. I wouldn't worry about it.

    how do i repaint my airbag???

    I would take my car back to the shop that put them in and have them replace them. Why would you accept a crappy used air bag that is spray painted to match? I can relate to this because I got in an accident with my stang and had to stay on top of that kind of stuff with my insurance co/body...

    saleen kit

    I was in the same situation as you. I got in an accident and messed up both bumpers and a front quarterpanel. I got the whole Saleen kit with the center exit exhaust. I didn't fill the Saleen on the back bumper but I filled all the emblem holes. Its definitely possible to fill it in. I don't...
