    is this a fr500 manifold?

    I am pretty sure that's a Lincoln aviator intake. Its based on the FR500 intake. Pretty sure you can put it on a cobra or mach 1 with some modification. You would need a cowl hood to clear it though.

    2011 Charger

    I respect the idea that Dodge wanted to bring back a couple of icons like the Charger and the Challenger. I despise what they have managed to produce. The actual products that they brought to market may pay tribute, but certainly pay no respect to the legends of yesteryear. The original cars...

    Mustang Cobra Engine vs. Mark VIII(8) Engine Quesiton

    There are plenty of 8 bolt cast cranks out there. 1999 and 2000 gt's have a Windsor pi 4.6 with an 8 bolt cast crank. It really doesn't matter though how many bolts they have. As far as the cast crank compared to the forged unit, it's more about rpm capability than load capacity. The forged...

    What should i do?

    You'd be surprised how many people make that commute. You'd also be surprised how many stupid things you see people do or try to do on that stretch of I-35. But the good thing is you can do anything you want to your car in either state. Lots of good places to get your toys taken care of.

    BBK shorty headers

    It's not a sound wave, its a pressure wave which simply happens to travel at the speed of sound. It starts out as a high pressure wave leaving the cylinder as the exhaust valve opens and the wave goes down the exhaust port and header, this is an exhaust pulse. When it gets to the...

    Headers Long vs. Mid on FI Stang

    Sorry this post is slightly off topic - I notice that you don't have a set of cams listed in your sig. For the price you pay for a set of headers and mid pipe plus install, you could buy and install a set of cams. As far as power production, I think you would be WAY better of going for cams...

    Those of you with cams installed by shop

    Honestly, I know you hate to hear it, if you ever plan on getting head work done - either porting or new pieces, wait and do it all at once. You will save a ton of money, basically you will get the cams and springs installed and tuned for free since the heads have to come off and a new tune...

    Am I the only one who thinks this is STUPID?

    The import world can be divided into two distinct categories - Tuners and Ricers. Tuners are just car people trying to build the best car they can out of their platform. Nothing but respect for these people. Ricers are people for whom appearance is everything. Whether a modification...

    Those of you with cams installed by shop

    If he is installing springs, which with a stage 2 cam you definitely should do. I can see charging that price.

    BBK shorty headers

    Not exactly Ryan441, its the pressure wave that bounces back from the collector, not the actual exhaust. You want the "low pressure wave" to get back to the exhaust valve at about the same time as the valve event starts. The pressure wave travels at the speed of sound and bounces back way to...

    BBK shorty headers

    Shorties don't give you anything except a lighter wallet and a conversation topic. Waste of money and time as far as performance is concerned. Exhaust flow is not an issue on the 4.6, it simply isn't a restriction. Effective scavenging is however,and the only way to get it is tuned length...

    my lovely mystic..............

    There is a gear that goes bad on the back of the cluster in the 96-98's. It typically happens around 140k. Happens to every one of them. Dallas Mustang knows which gear it is, and how to repair it. Give them a call.

    Quick Question about MAF and Injectors

    Uhm, you don't need either of those items. You won't gain one bit of power....period. If you want to get your car tuned thats one thing. But don't think that either those injectors or that MAF (or any other MAF made for that matter) are going to provide even the slightest benefit for you at...

    What should i do?

    The green idiots may hold the authority but they definitely don't hold the brains. They fail to realize that nearly all NA performance parts that raise power levels also reduce emissions, and increase fuel efficiency at the same time. As for what you can do, there is plenty of stuff that...

    PI swap not starting.. NEED ANSWERS

    Did you reconnect the spark lug wires exactly as you removed them? Or did you reconnect them according to a diagram like one out of a Haynes or Chilton's manual. The reason I ask is that the only manual with the correct diagram is the genuine shop manual for some reason. All the cheap ones are...

    Low compression on 3 cylinders!!!HELP!!!

    Hmm, I was thinking if someone had "taken the tach to the black" that some valves may have floated and gotten slightly bent. That would explain why it's only 5, 6, and 8. Since you have over 50# in each cylinder you are getting fire. I am thinking since 7 is ok that there may have been some...
