    not restriction, im saying you need a slightly PRESSURIZED system to keep the air flowing at a decent velocity to get it out of the system. If your saying that something slightly pressurized is heavily restricted then i call:bs:. if the exhaust gasses are moving quickly enough out of the system...

    The air intake system and exhaust system work together, the exhaust system can only put out what the air intake system can pull in. they need to be sized in relation to each other. Too big (diameter) exhaust systems can hurt power/torque if the intake system cant match the volume of air to...

    Limited slip or locker??

    I was assuming you had a 5.0 since you posted in 5.0 tech. I have the same year/trim mustang as you with a 5.0 and it had the LSD from the factory. Im just guessing that you had the same problem i did, the trac-lok was worn when i got the car and on dry pavement it always did the famous "one...

    Tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    this was a fairly common problem with the ford 2g alternators, the rectifier plug sometimes comes loose and can overheat and cause fire, overloading the sad 75a output doesnt help either. just make sure(if you werent already planning to) you upgrade to a 3g alternator to eliminate the rectifier...

    Limited slip or locker??

    Id say the limited slip is your problem, when both rear tires are spinning at the same time its very easy to get the car sideways, and depending on your rear gear ratio even light acceleration can cause the tires to spin and get the car loose in the rain. my car had the factory trac-lok LSD...

    3.55 ?

    i also agree with having a shop do the install, unless you have trustworthy help. trying to save a couple hundred bucks on the install could easily set you further back in cost if the gears arent properly aligned. If you take it to a shop they should tell you to take it easy on the...

    3.55 ?

    I had mine done two years ago at a local 4X4 shop for $320.00, labor only. I already had all the parts required for the install. Include gears, bearings, diff. fluid, ect. and I would expect the total cost to be between $500-$600 dollars depending on labor rates. If you want new axles or a new...

    Mustang vandalized - body shop or dealership?

    Pretty reasonable to me, id want a whole new car if mine got keyed. i dont think its the people getting their property vandalized that are driving up insurance rates, its the stupid people that dont about your s**t and know they wont get caught. I say the first offense for vandalism, you lose an...

    How fast with stock airbox intake and k&n panel filter !

    I spent a while looking at intakes for the 5.0 i noticed that Mac, BBK, and i think AEM all made CAI systems for it but K&N didnt. I decided to email them about it and a while later i got a response saying that it's most likely because there was very little or no performance gain from the...
