    Long tubes

    This statement is vague, at best. Better in what terms?

    75mm tb/plenum combo or stick wit 70mm

    Yes. The only difference between the 70 and 75 is at wide open throttle.

    Long tubes

    Everyone has their own claims of what their headers did for them. All different cars. Different mods. Different tracks. Different dynos. The guys with shorties say the shorties gave them great numbers. The guys with longtubes say their headers gave them great numbers. Can the claims be compared...

    Long tubes

    Go find the difference in gain between short and long tubes. I'm guessing it's under 10 hp. Once you find that number, subtract the added cost of longtubes. Then subtract the added pain of having your collectors really low to the ground. Then subtract the cost of a new midpipe. then subtract the...

    whats needed to change rear end seal?

    +1 on the pump. I went cheap and got the $3 funnel with hose option. I had a lot of oil spill. I'm sure it would have gone so much smoother if I bought the $8 lotion bottle style pump thing. I picked up two bottles of Royal Purple for around $10 each. Two bottles just about fills it up and you...

    a lil engine bling (with pictures)

    I got mine used from someone who was de-modding. Buy it for the bling, not just for the HP gain. Heck, half your car is for looks. :)

    Transmission Cooler Lines

    The coolant temp in the radiator does not hover around 195*. The sensor is in the engine block, not the radiator. The coolant in the engine block is what hovers around 195*. The coolant in the radiator is much less. In fact, I remember my dad flushing the radiator in our car when I was a kid...

    Transmission Cooler Lines

    I bypassed my stock cooler. The PermaCool remote oil thermostat does not have a failure mode that closes both the IN and OUT ports. When cold, the four ports are open to each other. When hot, the two upper ones are isolated from the two lower ones. Even when cold, there will be some flow...

    Transmission Cooler Lines

    I have an auxiliary transmission cooler on my 04 Mustang GT auto. I have rubber hoses and hose clamps right at the point where the stock solid cooler lines attach to the radiator. The rubber lines go to the aftermarket cooler. I measured the temperatures last winter and my transmission fluid...

    New Springs?

    I just put a set of Eibach ProKit on mine. It lowered the car about an inch and the new springs are progressive rate and a little stiffer. It feels stiffer and has less body roll but I keep reading I should also get new shocks to get the most benefit. Superhereaux: Not everyone on here is an...

    180* T-stat

    Why do you want to keep your engine at 180* instead of the factory setting of around 195*?

    Plenum Spacer or Accufab TB and Plenum?

    The plenum spacer is a $20 mod you do just to try it out, only for the pleasure of tinkering with the car.

    ELECTRIC WATERPUMP

    An electric water pump isn't about keeping the car cooler but about reducing the load on the engine.

    how did you smokers quit?

    It was some shareware off a Quit Smoking website. If you can't find one, just run a log in Excel or something. I also read that the first year of being smoke free is the most dangerous as far as getting back into it. During that first year, if you "think" you've successfully quit and have that...

    how did you smokers quit?

    What worked for me: 1. Plan ahead. Set a quit date that's over a month away. This will help you build up to it mentally. 2. Let your friends and family know of your coming quit date. They'll help you build up to it mentally. 3. Choose a date that will put you in a different environment...

    stall converter

    If all you'll ever do is drag racing, go for a 3000 or higher. I went with a 2800-3000 and it made a significant difference in my launches but now that I'm into autocross, a stall converter sucks. This is one mod you can't just remove for the weekend.
