    Anyone see the test they did with the intake manifolds??

    Hmm.....nice #'s, when I got my Performer on near stock motor, it seems to improve power all across the RPM range all the way from idle to redline :shrug: . I dunno maybe my monster 160k 5.0 is unusual :rlaugh: :rolleyes: . I like it :nice: . Anyhow, my question is how does GT-40 compare to...

    X/H-Pipe alternatives...

    Hey, no need to blow the top, heart attack anyone? :rolleyes: ......people, noobs sometimes aren't familiar with the ways and means of Stangnet. Anyhow, I vote for straight pipes w/o any kind of crossover. I heard someone say that they would produce most power anyhow, but with a harsher sound...

    BBK vs FRPP shorty headers

    Hmmmm to defend my "exhaust guy"=Jimmy LaRocca (you guys know him right? :D ), he has one price for FRPP shorties and all others with one piece flange and like double that for any garbage that MAC makes, since they "don't fit, new, or old, or even and they are garbage" They do make good copper...

    Which plugs for Y-303 heads (Turbo swirls)?

    Whoops......it probably was, just shows you nobody is perfect :D . Hmmm, it did look like a shipping crate that a BMW 3series came in :rlaugh: :lol: .

    Which plugs for Y-303 heads (Turbo swirls)?

    Hey that's cool, mea culpa accepted, "dust yourself off and try again..." Anyhow, with the amount of good knowledge you dispense around here, :hail2: , Professor Yount . PS, I just saw a black mid-90s 740 sedan with a 5.0, true sleeper in the best sense.

    VW R32 vs. LX 5.0 ?

    Ooops, missed the previous poster's reply.......... :hail2: Doh. Sweet car though, no matter how you slice it. They sound really nice with a Neuspeed/Borla exhaust.......very tasty blender like noise, especially in an enclosed parking garage :nice:

    VW R32 vs. LX 5.0 ?

    hmmm.....wastegate, :rolleyes: , what use is that on a car that is NA 3.2 VR6 15 degrees narrow angle 6 cylinder from Audi???? There is no turbo/SC on them from factory, you must be thinking of 1.8T

    Which plugs for Y-303 heads (Turbo swirls)?

    Hmmm, Mr Yount, the FRPP catalog recommends Motorcraft AGSF-32C, with a longer thread. Believe me, I tried fitting the stockers from my old iron heads, and the plug electrode did not even make it into the combustion chamber. This is of course on my carpet in my room. Don't ask I have too much...

    Want my car to sound like '04 Cobra

    Borlas here, sound is unbelievable, but none too quiet which is what I wanted, but oh well :rolleyes: The tone is unreal, like a po'd grizzly bear gargling with molasses...

    Royal Purple?

    Word on the AMSOIL, :hail2: , just got a case of ATF, man that stuff even smells nice, not like regular dino MERCON garbage dump smell! My neighbor is a fanatic of AMSOIL and has used it in everything from a Suburban to a Porsche and swears by it.

    Want my car to sound like '04 Cobra

    Hmm 2 sound like a 4.6 w/ ballz.......... :scratch: , well for one thing, get an Xpipe, they will make 5.0 sound more like a 4.6, mine does :banana: . Then, get a cam that approximates their duration/lift, like .550"/210s, along with some good flowing heads. But in all honesty, you won't...

    Lowering Spring Recommendations!!!

    Pss.....Fox guy here, about to consider springs.......I wanted to buy the MM Sport springs for my car, but I am worried about destruction of what little ride quality my car has. So, how's the ride after change? How's handling/braking? Were you able to maintain camber w/o CC plates? I live in NJ...

    older performer????

    :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh: Word, ******....that is a royal pain in the a$$ to do everytime you do an intake/head swap....Otherwise its a cool intake, it improved my whole rpm range on stock heads/cam and after GT-40Ys its like this :hail2:

    Who makes good lifters?

    65mm TB work OK w/ Performer intake?

    Howdy.....I have the same configuration, runs very well.....in fact a little too much low end torque :D . I believe that 5.0 Mustangs did H/C/I swap a while back ("Stone Pony") and when they tested a 70mm against 65 mm it was exactly the same torque/hp curve. And oh, I believe that they used...
