  1. Go HoTO!

    Check out my times........is this normal?

    Your times are w/in the normal range for a stock GT especially considering the other variables already mentioned. Too bad you don't remember your trap speeds because that would tell a lot too. I have a friend with a best 1/4 mile of 14.6...he spins too much. I am sure better tires will...

    13.7 @ 104

    Do you have a window switch? Perhaps it is set too high.

    Which stang

    If you want a V-8 and are on a budget, '87 - 90's are great cars. They were some of the best years for the 5.0

    Black smoke after ZEX install???

    Yeah, but that does not explain the smoke. Colder plugs won't hurt anything I don't believe. Tell me more about the specific kit that you have. How des it work? I am not familiar with the ZEX. If this the one with the computer that reads bottle pressure and then adds fuel accordingly...

    Problem w/ Throttle Position Sensor ... need help!

    Am I missing something here? I thought the TPS was supposed to read 0.9 volts at idle. You car is not reversed...I don't think. Since you replaced the TPS, it would seem that the problem lies elsewhere. Do you have a stock TB? If you added one, when? Did you just recently add a CAI or...

    Black smoke after ZEX install???

    Hum, could be the cleaner...most likely is. Pull your plugs if you can to see how they look. Do you have stock injectors and fuel pump? If not, you may be running rich with the dry kit. many of those dry kits work by pulsing the injectors to add fuel and if your fuel system is oversized...

    !Magnaflow Vs. SLP!

    Another thing, SLP systems should be legal in all 50 states as long as the cats are used and you are not break noise laws. Keep in mind that the Dodge Neon SRT-4 has a very similar exhaust setup that does not use mufflers...it has resonators and I am sure they will be selling that car...

    !Magnaflow Vs. SLP!

    Guys, when you listen to SLP clips or hear a car in person, you must pay close attention to their setup. LT's change the exhaust sound as do whether you have a catted X or an O/R X. I have an SLP Catted X and the SLP Loudmouth with stock headers. It is loud, but not nearly as loud at...

    Installing Steeda CAI

    I have the Steeda CAI. As I recall, it was an easy install...only one swear word as I recall. M7y install took a little longer as I was removing my C&L MAF and inlet tube too. You can leave the screen out. The Steeda CAI is designed to run w/o it. Removing the screen will tend to bump...

    Strut tower brace

    I have a vert. Two things that I did right away were to add a strut tower support and sub frame connectors. I noticed a bigger improvement with the subframes.

  12. Go HoTO!

    Pulleys? Anyone with good or bad experiences?

    I also have Steeda UDP's. No problems here. I had them installed by a pro for $50. Well worth it if you ask me.

    Questionsm about 00'GT

    I agree with the last two posts BIG TIME!!!! Looking for some bang for the buck on a tight budget: 1 - Under Drive Pullies: $150 with install I think. 8-10 rwhp 2 - Mid Pipe w/o cats: Can find them for $150 and you will get at least 10 rwhp. Those are by far the cheapest mods for...

    COLD AIR KIT VS. MASS AIR

    I am very familiar with this mod as I had one on my car. It can be very effective and I have seen dynos showing as much as 23 hp from one. BUT, they work by leaning the car out, which is not good. If you buy one, you really should consider a dyno tune to prevent the lean condition from being...

    louder exhaust?

    Yeah I have noticed that sort of thing before too. It could be the weather. I could never sort this phenomenon out.

    UPR Products:Need feedback

    I have my engine bay dressed up with UPR and Steeda stuff. The quality is the same as far as I can tell. I like UPR too, becuase it does not say "Steeda" all over them. I have the Steeda radiator cover, but I don't use the Steeda sticker on it.

    Plenum Questions

    I second twogts! He is the second smartest mustang guy I know (I am the smartest) (lol). As a C&L user, I believe the Acufab is the best combo. However, I prefer the dull aluminum appearance of the C&L. The difference in performance is minimal. Be sure to use a quality TB and stick with...

    Camshaft for late model GT's

    I don't have them, but they are a great mod. Expect 20 - 30 hp increase or even more. Sound awsome too. Expensive though. Figure at least $1000 with installation. You need a tune with them even if it is a mail order tune. Some of the "entry level" cams are fine with a mail order tune, but...

    Can i use an intake spacer with Accufab plenum and TB???

    No. Not needed. That is the whole point of the plenum.

    NO POWER!!!

    If you are havng a problem with the car, you should try to find it before piling mods on. seriously, do you think there is a problem with the car? Run it at the track or get a g meter to see how it is really running. If you are not at least in the mid 14's, then I would agree that there may...
