    35th Anniv New Owner Performance Red Vert

    Congrats! Mine is waiting safely in a garage... until I get home and can drive it all winter. (what's odd is that every poster in this thread has a performance red)

    Nitrous tune debate. To tune, or not to tune?

    Agree with above. I think 90% of the time people say "get a tune" really means just check the air/fuel after you get it set up. Like you said, the important thing is that your timing is not advance from stock and your a/f is not leaned up at all. Unlike most people, I pulled 2* global...

    Plenum/TB Discussion Thread

    Man, the dyno sheet you posted was SEVERELY FLAWED. You claim that 10rwhp was gained, but you neglect to mention that on that run, the a/f dropped from WAY, WAY lean, to only slightly lean. Of course it picked up horsepower. Maybe the plenum gained some of the at 10, but most of it was the...

    Plenum/TB Discussion Thread

    Honestly, they are all with 3 hp of one another (based upon the old Modular Depot test). I'd get whichever one is the cheapest (and off topic, but made in the US). And flow is only important up to a limit, then it's either unused or actually hurts performance (ie. a 80mm throttlebody on a...

    Looking for next mod.Help please?

    Springs + shocks/struts would be nice. Subframes and a CAI would be as well. Although, in terms of fun-ness, I'd get a nitrous kit... :)

    What should I get with $200$

    Another vote for sub-frames. You'll notice the difference immediately and be really glad down the line. Sub-frames help keep the squeaks and rattles down as the car gets more miles on it. The first time you go over a speed bump you'll be glad you have them.

    New tint and detailed! **PICS**

    Did you get it done in Houston proper? And if so, do you mind telling me how much it was? I need to get mine redone when I get back to Houston. Thanks man, great looking car.

    35th Anniversary Ltd Trade-In Value?

    I don't know your time frame, but if you are patient you will be able to get more for it than a regular GT. I'd guess at least $2k or so over listed price for a GT. PS- I completely understand your situation, but keep it if at all possible. You'll almost certainly never be able to get another...

    bbk 78mm throttle body

    Not trying to hate at all. I'm glad people like it and I hope that it does gain 10 hp. I have a plenum and TB myself, so I obviously don't have any animosity towards either. However, you cannot say that the dyno you posted demonstrates anything about the effects of adding the BBK piece...

    Thanks Stangnet

    Good luck on the build man. I have been out of the car scene for the past year or so and I'm not sure what happened, but I think ever since the latest site switch a lot of (the older) posters have left. I guess boards are cyclical, I used to post on Modular Depot all the time, but the same...

    bbk 78mm throttle body

    Umm... that's not right. You are correct that the EEC will add more fuel if the MAF is seeing more air coming across it, but it's not right to say that seeing more air across the MAF will make the a/f richer. The computer will compensate by adding a sufficient amount of fuel to return the car...

    35th Anniv post your pics 99 GT " LIMITED EDITION"

    Just to keep this thread up. Two pretty bad iPhone pictures. Car's going to be in storage for another 9 months, then FR500s and maybe a KB. Slow 35th, are those 18s or 17s (have I asked you that before?)? Looks great.

    Dry vs Wet kit systems

    Another vote for wet kits, just for the sheer simplicity of it. An easier way to add fuel, especially if someone doesn't have the ability to tune the car themselves. I remember one guy who would spray a 50 shot before the MAF on a 96ish GT. It seemed to work well for him (but that was...

    Transmission Cooler 101

    Here's the one that I have on mine B&M 70264 - B&M SuperCooler Oil Coolers - Overview - SummitRacing.com . It's worked perfectly for the last couple of years. The important thing is to get this design, and not one of the older plate and fin set ups (these disperse heat better, or so I'm told).

    Nitrous

    You don't really need either. If it's a wet kit (fuel + nitrous), then you definitely don't need injectors. Just make sure you get 1 step colder plugs, and I'd retard the timing a degree or two. You'll also need to check the air-fuel ratio with a wideband (NX kits are almost always too...

    Cobra brakes?

    A junkyard; non-broken Cobras are a better buy though. (I used buyfordracing.com when I purchased mine)

    The Englishman Vs. The Carpenter Ants

    Hilarious! And it looks great. Being stuck in DC, I'd love to have trees like that around.

    KB 1.7 + Meth= 11's

    That's awesome man. What size stall are you running and who did your build on the auto? Also, what tires? I think I'll go the KB route in a few years.

    Finally got my car back! NEW dyno numbers inside!

    Awesome man. What was your SC setup before? And what shop did the work? TSS?

    Dyno results...

    You're making great power off the bottle. Which nitrous kit are you using? I'm guessing not NX? Numbers look good, but a little low even with a cold bottle. (makes me anxious to get my bottle filled up)
