    WINGS vs. WINGLESS

    alright alright... i just told you that because I was planning on making my stang wingless just to be different... and now you went and told everybody it was a good idea... thanks a lot! Seriously though, I plan on going wingless when I get my stang... I think it looks great!

    forged engines = longer N/A life?

    If you were planning on installing a blower in the future, would forging the engine long before the actual blower install increase the life of your engine? Would you recommend forging the engine as soon as possible, and driving it until the blower install... or just driving it until you can...

    Flame Thrower Kit... Need help!

    don't label exhaust flames ricer just because you saw it on fast and the furious... how often do you see mid-90s imports in real life with flames spitting out of their farting mufflers? I think it'll be one unique killer ride once he gets it working... it's not like he's rigging up little steam...

    Finally figured out how to shift

    matching rpms while downshifting is supposed to lengthen the life of your clutch due to lessened synchronizer wear. the less work you make synchronizer do to match the rpms of the engine and drivetrain, the better.

    Roots screw type supercharger

    hey el_kid... did you have your stang dyno tuned when you got your kit? if so or if not, what was the baseline run w/ your kenne bell kit and chip before you got it to 418 horses?

    What kind of Power

    would you expect a forged engine to last a lot longer if it were forged early in its life?

    Finally figured out how to shift

    I believe there are two accepted definitions for "double clutching"... one w/ downshifting like gino said (heel and toe) and my dad used to have to "double clutch" his Semi back in the day, somewhat like brianmef outlined... I'll have to ask him about it again since I was too young the first...

    Finally figured out how to shift

    while we're on the subject of crappy shifting... what does "granny shifting" mean? I know... I know... I saw Vin Diesel say it in Fast and the Furious... :shrug: ... come on now. you know you saw it too! :D

    forging an old engine...

    Condisering things such as price, reliability, and most of all practicality... would it be a good choice to build the bottom end of 100K mile+ engine for the purposes of a supercharger? Would adding forged components to an older engine increase its reliability and lasting power, or would the...

    How many 99+ stangs here have over 50K miles-->>

    hey... when you had to replace your idler pulley, was it making a really loud, obnoxious, chirping noise at idle that went away when you revved your engine? I think I have the same problem in my escort. :shrug:

    Official seat search.

    do most of these aftermarket seats fix the "high feeling" riding height that most of the major car reviewers complained about on the 99-04 mustang?

    drone?

    I am yet to become a mustang owner, but am looking forward to owning one (probably used) in the future. I was just wondering what exactly this "drone" everyone always complains about actually sounds like. Does anyone have an audio clip or a video link where there is a clear example of the...

    what to look out for in an 03/04 gt

    I also like the 99 & 00 side scoops better. I even like the subtlety of the hood "scoop" on the 99 & 00 more than later GTs although I do prefer the later model wing. (the bullitt trunk is best) :flag:
