    05 Saleen s281 @ Anaheim Auto Show

    eh.... I've always been a big Saleen fan, but... don't like the wing, don't care for the taillights at all...the rest is OK but doesn't seem to match the lines of the car well. I think the photochopped 03 Saleen front end looked better than this one personally. I like more on the Roush...

    CDC photoshop

    don't like it :notnice: don't care for the front end, and the whole glassback thing just doesn't sound real appealing to me although you can't see it well from this picture. the side scoops are alright and the hood scoop is ok though.

    yeah but with install plus a speedcal your looking at $400, which is quite a bit for someone who is broke

    new car, poor kid, cheap mods?

    depends on how you define cheap. You can pick up a K&N filter on ebay for $20 or so, pick up a Densecharger MAF to TB pipe for $60 or so and that should be ok for your intake for now. Also on the less expensive side, you can buy 2 flowmaster 2 chamber mufflers on Ebay for $106 shipped, take it...

    Exhaust ?: What is drone?

    My flowmasters drone at 2000RPM just like everyone elses, but I happen to love the sound. I'll drive around at 2000RPM just to hear it :) My advice, go for a ride in someones dronemaster-equipped car and see if you like it or not.

    Few questions about te 99-04 Mustang GTs

    the reason it feels that slow compared to the firebird is low end torque...these cars don't have much. Get it above 3500RPM then stomp it, you will feel the difference. When I first drove mine in comparison to my 95 Trans Am, I was also pretty disappointed, but you get used to where the...

    2v to 4v head swaps

    well, we're going to have to agree to disagree then. I still maintain that 4v heads are leagues above the 2v heads, and that a decent 4v motor could be built for the same money your going to spend on a blower or turbo, but I guess you know more than I do.

    2v to 4v head swaps

    and note this one: Bob Cosby (356.2@6100/337.4@5000 SAE) .020 over and good valve job. Stock Cams & Intake. As far as I know the highest HP 2v N/A with a well built shortblock, fully ported heads, custom cams, etc is around 360rwhp or so...Bob is only in the middle of the 4v HP list at...

    2v to 4v head swaps

    I'm not making anything sound easy, I'm saying the 4v heads have a lot more potential than the 2v heads do, and to back up my statement I present this: http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=515518 If you want to go the cheapest route, get a 2v and throw a 250 shot of nitrous on it...

    2v to 4v head swaps

    the 4v heads would be much better to swap in than the PI heads, but there is a little more money involved. The best price I've seen so far is $475 for a set of cobra heads/cams, but the 4v guys have other options that are cheaper. While its possible to do 500rwhp on a 2v with boost, its...

    How do bolt-on modifications work?

    I think the part your missing is that ANY power increase comes from a larger/more efficient burn in the chamber, and will result in increased stress. It goes back to the VE thing, if your engine is effient enough to have 95% VE through bolt ons, there is that much more fuel/air going into the...

    I'm getting seriously interested in 4.6 GT's

    theres no car out there your going to be able to buy short of another LS1 or something a LOT more expensive that will have the power the Formula did...if your looking for that, give up now :( 4.6's do have one advantage over LS1's though, they respond to boost a lot better. If you really...

    How do bolt-on modifications work?

    I think the way it works is all based on Volumetric Efficiency, or how efficiently the cylinders can fill compared to their max volume. If you can increase the VE by allowing the engine to freely pump air in and out without restrictions, you will allow more fuel to burn and increase power, not...

    2v to 4v head swaps

    hmm...after doing some research on this myself, it didn't look that hard at all. The one that I know of that has done it said it bolted up but required one hole to be drilled in the 2v block to accomodate the 4v timing chain tensioner, thats it. 4V heads are most definitely the way to go for...

    Roush Need some advice/tips on getting a body kit

    has anyone seen those kits advertised on Ebay for around $350? I think they are made by Ground Dynamics ( http://www.grounddynamics.com/merchant/mainpage.htm ) who has a Saleen replica kit in there for around $450 (not including wing or graphics)...couldn't be too much worse than what I'm...
