    Engine swap or forced induction?

    Not enough umph for me. I'm wanting at least 600hp (i.e. a Z06 beater). But for that you would definitely need to beef up the internals on the 3v to handle that kind of grunt (obviously it can be done), but by the time you add in enough meat to the engine/clutch/tranny to handle the additional...

    Propane powered ??Hi,

    The real beauty with Propane is that it has a high Octane rating of around 110-115 (essentially race fuel rating). So if you are able to get a conversion done then your options are much better down the road should you want to add forced induction. If you find out more about the conversion...

    Motor Trend Info on the new Boss mustang

    Great, means at least a 10k markup, and they'll be sold out the first week they're ordering. Man, this sucks (if its true).

    Engine swap or forced induction?

    Yeah, I'm not sure either, on the V-10, although that would be sweet. The 5.4 (based on what I'm gleaning from the rumor mill) is possibly what's going to fuel the new Boss Mustang (should that get produced). If that's the case, I might just wait till that comes out instead. I was looking at...

    Motor Trend Info on the new Boss mustang

    Amen Brud'ah! But my guess is that they'll stick with the 5.4. With cost cuts all over the place I think they'll stick with what they have already with just a few minor tweaks. A new 6L just sounds too... money demanding for Ford. Anyone have any idea what the production numbers would...

    Engine swap or forced induction?

    The 'gas' is always a nice option. I'm just wanting to go with something a little less 'the norm'. An engine swap was something I was always planning to do, but what held me back was finding a good shop to do the work and not try and gouge me outta my hard earned paychecks. I figure if...

    Engine swap or forced induction?

    For most bang for your buck for your proverbial buck, what would be the more ideal way to go... Go by way of forced induction to improve the existing 3v that comes with the GT or.. Do a complete engine swap with a higher displacement engine? I ask this because this because from my point...

    New Halos For 05/06 stangs

    Looks pretty good. For your next round of pics, actually turn on the HIDs, those are what I'm interested in seeing. It'd be interesting to see those LEDs as well. Are those for daytime running lights?

    2005 Exhaust dilema !!!!!

    You want a more european sound, go with an X-pipe, since you're wanting to avoid the 60's muscle car sound, avoid the H-pipes. The differences in various mufflers as far as HP are pretty minimal (1-2hp at best) so what you should also look for is sound, weight, how they look and materials...

    2005+ GT - Weight saving tips?

    It's basically the sum of ones parts. I was looking at reductions in suspension, exhaust, driveshaft, rear seat delete, hood, windows (replace with stuff used in funny cars, at least for front and rear windows), wheels. All in all, you could probably get rid of 300-500 lbs before going to...

    Ford Racing Exhaust

    MMFF was doing a comparison of like 5 different exhausts. They all hover within 2-3hp/trq numbers of each other. The biggest plus of the Ford exhause is that it was the lightest of the bunch (only 7.5 pounds each).

    Headlight bulbs?

    Headlight bulbs conversion to HID? What model headlight bulbs is the new Mustang using? I ask because I'm curious about modding it to HIDs in the future once I get mine, and I've been able to find a manufacturer, but am not sure yet if they are compatable. :nice:

    Top Gear Review on 05 GT

    I liked his statement about how the car, from the time it arrives on the lot, till the time it gets bought is averaging around 15 minutes here in the states. I can find no arguement with that! The Brits can be as snobbish as they like about the new Mustang, you won't see that kind of turn...

    Is Windveil Blue a feminine color?

    Pink, Cheffane, or anything that in any relates to pastels, you're in trouble! Otherwise the blue has naturally been associated with the male of the species! Enjoy the vehicle!

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    You're dead on right in that the styling plays the key role in poor sales for the GTO (for the average joe). Personally its not an issue I share, only because you can spice that up with a nice body kit. The extra horsepower will always play a factor in a purchase of a car meant to tear up the...
