    Cobra or GT40 intake?

    most likely I will end up with one of those new replica Cobra intakes(seem to be the easiest to get). I may end up getting some ported/ploished heads next year if the cost isn't outrageously higher than out of the box stuff. I limit my $ on parts to a certain amount per year so I'll have to see...

    Cobra or GT40 intake?

    the intake/gears will be the only mods this year. next year I may look into getting some GT40 iron heads. I'm not wanting a total drag car. just something can keep up with the newer stuff.

    I have been wanting to swap out my stock 2.73 gears for some time and have finally decided to get it done. one shop I talked with recommended I do 2 step up(go with 3.27) and that I would be happy with that and that I won't notice much of a difference in shifting/gas milage. they also pointed...

    IDIOT drove my car, question about clutch

    I see nothing wrong with wanting to see the work being performed on your car. I have had a few experiences with shops charging me for new parts while reusing stuff already on my car. I would never just toss my keys to any person just because they are a tech. perfect example - about 2 weeks...

    Need Help Detailers

    my only advice is to take your time with each vehicle too. I used to work at a used car dealership that required high volume cleaning. it was a factory certified used as new type deal. you could buy a car under 4 years old which was reconditioned to look like new inside/out with a nice warrantee...

    5.0 front brake upgrade kits?

    I would also like some info on this as well as options for 4 lug rears. I already have the much hated 4 lug cobra r's and I don't really want to drop another 1000.00+ on another set just to get 5 lugs.

    thanks for the links. sounds like I may just get a GT40 instead. I mainly want low end torque instead of high end hp.
