    FREE RAM AIR MOD???

    Ram Air is mostly good for crapping up your air filter. I've used the March kit in the past, and I remember getting SES lights that came up as 'Insufficient Inlet Airflow'. Don't really see the point in using a mod that prevents the engine from breathing after a few miles of use.

    Panhard without Torque Arm?

    I wouldn't get too excited about this type of setup for a drag race application. Some weight jacking LCAs and double adjustable UCAs are probably smarter solutions with less packaging constraints. Guys like Mustang92 can provide a solid basis for a cheap drag rear suspension.

    Panhard without Torque Arm?

    No. Steeda relocates the UCAs in their 5 link kit. The new UCAs are parallel to the long axis of the car. That allows them to control axle windup without interfering by trying to locate the axle laterally.

    Panhard without Torque Arm?

    Stock suspension: Upper control arms- responsible for locating the axle laterally and for controlling axle windup or "twist". Serves both functions adequately when driven away from the limits of adhesion. Under hard cornering or acceleration, the geometry causes binding and unpredictable...

    car starts then stalls, sometimes

    Check the Idle Air Control valve. That is a common failure which will cause the car to die unless the throttle is depressed.

    Panhard without Torque Arm?

    No. You can run a PHB without a T/A. You cannot run a T/A without a PHB. The PHB will provide MUCH better location of the axle compared to your UCAs and will change the rear roll center height of the suspension.

    2V-->4V conversion???

    Not necessarily. Liability is basically the same. Both cars are considered V8 sports cars. And if the cars are not too far apart in appraised value, the collision shouldn't be much different. Going from a 97 GT to a 2003 Cobra would be a big jump, but a 00 GT to a 99 Cobra should be pretty...

    Calculators

    The calculators can only really take a few things into consideration. Some power application efficiency must be assumed. If your car makes X amount of power, the calculator must assume you can get Y percent of it applied at Z rate. It would be an equally valid question to ask: Why doesn't the...

    Exhaust on a 96

    He means manifolds. Yes, you can get a mid-pipe that mates up to your stock manifolds. Don't know the details of what Dallas Mustang told you, but thousands of LT owners can't be wrong. A good shadetree mechanic can do this at home. There is a thread on the front page right now where a 17 year...

    2V-->4V conversion???

    svtguy- I recognize your point completely, and it is a valid one. In fact, I did exactly what you suggested. I went from a 99 GT to a 98 Cobra because it was, in my mind, the smart way to go. I guess I just wanted to emphasize that the 4V swap isn't some impossibly hard swap that costs a...

    99 Cobra Ported Intake?

    Don't get a 99. The guys that port 99/01 intakes unanimously agree the 99 castings are inherently flawed compared to the 01 castings. There are several guys on the Corral that do ported, short-runner intakes for 99/01 Cobras. Check there.

    Pro-M question for the modular crowd

    I've got the 95mm Pro-M. It is literally plug and play. Even with some bumped timing and leaned fuel mixture I have no idle or pinging issues. I had a C&L before, and I don't now because of consistent Check Engine lights when coupled with a higher-flowing intake inlet.

    BBK Long Tubes

    I picked up about 30 rwhp with BBKs, Dr. Gas, and a tune. You should be able to find them from a number of people for 700 with X-pipe. No info on the install since I simply wrote the man a check.

    PI CAMS

    Newbee, please post a specific Jegs link to a set of cams for a 4.6 SOHC Mustang engine for 200-300 dollars. I will bet you your car that you are looking at single cams for 302 engines or SBCs. That apples and oranges. Buy your X/H pipe whereever you want to. Jegs. Summit. Brothers...

    5.4 or 4.6 for my new drag car?

    Is that a serious comment? Two people saying something makes it so? Bring some fooking tech if you're going to smear a guy. Post a name, a personal experience, a specific anecdote. Anything.

    5.4 or 4.6 for my new drag car?

    If Al is an ass, he is an ass with more self-restraint than I have ever seen. A comment like that is grounds for a straight up flame war, but he replied in this thread without getting defensive. What exactly is the problem with Al's attitude? Why do people think that they ought to be able to...

    BEST maf setup for most TORQUE...opinions?

    I'm making 300 rwtq through BBK LT headers, Dr. Gas X-pipe, Steeda pulleys, and the full 95mm WMS setup with Pro-M MAF.

    Why do Cobras get low MPG?

    The GM T-56 has a 0.50 to 1 final gear. That helps a lot when you add the better aero.
