    Need your expert opinions

    consider it. it may be worth it. look it over thoroughly. look at the undercarriage for any signs of leakage, check the rear diff, the pinion seal, tranny, look for oil or signs of leaks. test drive it and check everything, a/c,heat,cruise and listen for anything you may feel is unusual.

    Would you swap in a Cobra motor?

    if there was an affect to handling then ford would not put a DOHC in a mustang. a cobra like mine as tested by SVT pulls .9 g's on a skid pad.if there are issues it is slight and can be fixed with a set of lowering springs. and last time i looked at a stock mustang they were kinda high up stock...

    Mach 1 Newbie here a few Questions about my Mach 1

    its not entirely true. a stock ls1 is 12 second capable. one has been pushed to 12.7 with a professional driver. but thats a once ina lifetime run. they are usually mid to low 13's stock. a mach is about the same. so any race with one is always or atleast should, be close. well whatever you...

    Would you swap in a Cobra motor?

    why should he care about a little weight gain? it is offset by the power gains. it wouldnt be much if any weight gain. an all aluminum motor versus one that is iron. the cobra motor would be best. it can breathe better and has a broader rpm and power band than a SOHC.

    Good deal?

    there are a few things to consider. one is who or where is the gear install gonna be done. rear ends are a pain if not done right the first time. if the gears are not that old there will be little wear on the ring gear. if you can ride in the car like suggested. the car should be taken on an...

    need a quick easy mod to help 1/4 time

    the only easy and cheap mod for your car would be to do the control arms. and if you really want to gain a tenth or two loosen your front sway bar at the track. the only issue with lca's would be compressing the coil spring to install it. the exhaust is not an issue.

    the interior is stock. the 01's have leather and alcantra(fake suede)centers with a cobra stitched into them.not sure of the currency exchange between USD and Canadian money so i cant say if the price is high. i wouldnt pay more than 12500 USD for the car. all they did is replaced wear and tear...

    went to the track tonight and......:(

    if you try a salvage yard try finding a v-6 explorer 8.8 i believe those already have 4.10's if not a 94-95 GT rear is good. they are slighty narrower and allow a wider rear rim/tire combo on 99 stangs.

    Off Road X-pipe

    it should sound good. the factory mufflers are ok sounding. a buddy of mine with a 99 did an o/r x with stock mufflers and it sounded good. louder than stock similar to a real quiet flowmaster.

    Nos Switches

    any where you plan to hide the switches be sure they cant be bump into. research as much as possible before you plan to run nitrous. done right it it very safe. i used to have a 95 gt with a TNT wet kit used almost everyday for over a year without any issues. if you run juice change to...

    Estimated time of removal/install

    it all depends on work environment and ability. first challenge would be the 3rd starter bolt on the 4.6's. i would plan for an entire day maybe two just to be safe. if done on jackstands then i would recommend having a helper and a good jack to support the tranny. most ppl dont have a...

    Low 12s...99 GT 5speed Sprayed. How?

    run no more than a 100-25 shot sparingly. invest in extras such as a wot switch, purge and maybe a window switch. only use it above 3,000 rpms. nitrous is safe if used right. i used to have a gt with a 75 shot used almost every other day for 2 years no problem. kit was installed ot about 75,000...

    why add the bullitt inkake to a GT?

    the bullit intake doesnt do much for stock motors. it is best for boosted or highly modified cars. stock it didnt add much hp but plenty of torque. most go with this intake because its lower cost and it is cast aluminum while stock is plastic.

    Cobra Times

    well everyone pretty much agrees about the et. but with that much boost and summer weather that car seriously needs an intercooler of some sort if it is to be street driven on pump gas. every major supercharger kit now above 8-9 psi are all intercooled to run pump gas and a decent tune.
