    Turbo Cams For 3v?

    You really don't NEED turbo specific cams especially if you don't have a built engine, because you won't be able to get the full potential out of them. But, several companies make them. Comp has them, as well as Lunati, and Cushman Motorsports.

    Crack/gap On Strut Tower - Best Approach To Fix??

    That's weird...it almost looks like it has bondo on it?

    Clear Marker Lights

    Assume you're talking about fronts? I mean, clear lights are clear lights...they're all pretty much the same and I'd venture to say 99% of the ones you see online are made in China, probably by the same company. I have a set of them on my car, I like em a lot.

    What Founding Members Frequent S197?

    Well, I joined up here about a month after I bought my first car (October '98, damn Radburns never fixed my join date), a '90 2.3L LX. I was kinda forced into that car by my dad but I think it ignited my love for Mustangs. Had that car for 5 years, then bought a '87 Turbo Coupe in 2003, and got...

    Engine Wont Start

    Hey did you ever get this figured out? Double and triple check the timing, I had occasions where I changed the timing belt and thought it was right, turned out it was a tooth off and wouldn't start. Make sure the distributor rotor is pointing at the #1 terminal when you do it, also.

    2.3 No Spark, Out Of Ideas!!

    Sooo, might not be any help but when I first built the engine for my Turbo Coupe it would crank but not fire. I had used a distributor that had been in the engine I rebuilt, so I pulled the distributor off my old engine and it was fine. I don't know if it was the TFI module or what, but if you...

    Interior and Upholstery Short Shifter Arm Suggestions

    I know it's a little late but no. The way the factory shifter is designed it's all one piece.

    Underdrive

    I put underdrives on my car a few years ago. They look a lot better than the stockers and I've never experienced any charging, cooling or steering issues.

    Stangnet Stickers - Available Now, Inquire Within

    Mike Raburn has always been the owner of Stangnet. They did a bunch of decals and shirts back in the early 2000's when this place was a lot more active, don't know if they still do. I had some decals at one point but now I don't know where any of them would even be since I've moved 3 or 4 times.

    Is Cam Degreeing Necessary

    No it isn't, especially not for NSR cams like that.

    Camshaft Positioning Issue

    Probably need to pull your front cover and check the chain guides, unfortunately.

    2011 5.0 Stick Shift Rearend

    AFAIK everything is the same between them, you just have to make sure you're getting the right gears. They all used the same 8.8 and the same rear brakes. Just make sure it's from a GT.

    2008 Mustang Gt

    Sounds a little high to me for one with that many miles- I got mine in 2011 with 53K on it for $13K. What's book value, did you look it up?

    Young Buck Trying To Fix His Stang - Suspension And Fuel Sensors

    You'll have to drop the tank to replace anything having to do with the fuel pump. And, unfortunately, on these cars the tank straddles the driveshaft so if you can't get it down and back far enough with the suspension at full droop, you'll have to disconnect the driveshaft. Not a huge deal but...

    Upper Control Arm

    I used a J&M fixed upper and their mount, I noticed no increase in noise or vibration. Honestly you might as well do the mount while you're in there, you have to drop the gas tank a little to install it and remove the rear seat but it's not too difficult, and it eliminates nthe possibility of...

    Supercharger

    Apparently the internals are the limitation stock, you can't go above 450 RWHP or you'll blow it up. Just FYI.

    2007 Mustang Gt Dyno Numbers Too Low?

    Was the other guy running an 87 octane tune or a 91/93 octane tune as well? I mean, you really don't have any more power-adding mods than he does.

    Will 2015+ Factory Mustang Wheels Fit 05-09 Mustangs?

    The bolt pattern is the same but I've heard the backspacing is different. Don't know how much different though.

    2010 Hood Oxidation

    I don't think Ford ever acknowledged it was actually a "problem" as far as they were concerned. My '05 has some on the edge of the hood, my wife's '11 Explorer has it really bad on the edge of the hood. Pretty sure it's just the end user's problem to deal with.
