    Torq. Converter Question

    I've got one of you're transmissions and a torque converter spec'ed by you (built by TCS if i remember right), and i'm fairly happy so far (only 250 miles on the new motor/turbo/trans combo so not much to go off of so far :) ), but this kind of bashing should at least include a reason. I've...

    New MAF setup... Car driveable to tuner?

    I also just switched to an 05+ style MAF and the car would idle with the new MAF, but if i gave it any gas it would just about die. Not even close to driveable. I ended driving over to the tuners (in my DD) and getting a base tune so i could drive the mustang to the dyno. The tune was close...

    how many miles are on your 99-04?

    Bought my 2000 GT off the dealer floor. Just passed 45,000 miles. Daily driven for the first 4 years, since then i've probably only racked up a couple thousand miles per year.

    03-04 as a daily driver?

    I used to drive my GT every day. No problems. I could still daily drive my car if i had to and we're hoping to make almost 800rwhp when we go back for another tune. I'm driving a Nissan Altima, though, to get back and forth to work and for trips when i don't want to put miles on the mustang.

    Lightning MAF & Diablo MAFia

    I'm running the SCT BA-5000. It's the 05+ style. Not running the actual 05 meter. Supposedly this meter should be good for 800+ (with the diablo MAFia). We'll see. I should be hitting close to that in a few weeks when i get back on the dyno.

    Lightning MAF & Diablo MAFia

    I bought an 05+ style maf from VMP tuning along with a flange to mount the sensor directly in the piping. Also bought a diablo MAFia to convert the old connector. Working great so far. Put down 550 at the wheels and no problems with the MAF

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    Too much :D The motor and turbo have definitely set me back more than the car's worth. Then you add up all the little pieces, hardware, electronics, fuel, transmission, etc. It gets expensive quick and it never seems to end. It's nice having a custom kit done in town though. If i have any...

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    Thanks :D The coolant reservoir is the shiny little thing right in front of the turbo intake piping. It's tiny. The big Ford plastic coolant reservoir is gone, replaced with that small bottle.

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    Actually, no. Traction hasn't really been much of an issues so far. I haven't had much time to drive it and i haven't been too hard on it yet, but it seems to hook up fairly well. I'm sure that's going to change once we get the tune dialed in though. :D

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    Yes, it's the black piece at the very top of the picture of the underside of the car. The builder is a bit of a perfectionist. He spent a fair amount of time making the last pipe that connects to the throttle body. One day he decided he didn't like it, pulled it off and cut it into like 6...

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    I'm hoping to make it down there this weekend I do have the ARP 2000 rod bolts and i'm hoping they'll be good for that power.

    Need 03 cobra pump parts

    I'm selling my old stuff and the rubber boots and the clamp seem to have disappeared. I would rather sell it complete so the buyer can just bolt it in, but you're right it won't be too hard to make something, or just sell it as is.

    55lb injector question

    I was originally planning on only making ~ 500hp too. That soon turned into 600 on pump gas and hopefully 800 on race gas. I went with the 60's at first just so i had some room to grow (you always want more) and now i'm worried those 60's might not be enough. As a rule i always go a little...

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    Yes, it's custom and i'm running the stock manifolds. I'd like to test the stock manifolds against some aftermarket shorties one of these days to see the difference. I can't imagine there will be much of one.

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    It's a Garrett GT42R. No boost gauge so i'm not sure when i hit full boost, but i wouldn't have time to be watching the gauge even if i had one :D It sounds like it starts to spool at around 3000-3500rpm and by 4000rpm you're in the back of the seats. Some specs: I'm running the aluminator...

    Cobra R body kit.....Thoughts?

    Really old pic of my car with the 99/01 cobra front bumper and stock hood. I really like the cobra front compared to the GT. The front splitter would be too much of a hassle though. And the 03/04 cobra hood will leave a fairly large gap if used with an older cobra or GT front bumper.

    Turbo build and dyno numbers

    Just finished up my new turbo setup (well 95% complete). There's a few minor issues to fix, but the car is driving now. Took it to the tuners yesterday. It's a simple tune so we can get some miles on the new motor. It's really rich, and missing a few degrees of timing as well as some RPM. It...

    Need 03 cobra pump parts

    I need the black boots on the pumps and the strap holding the pumps to the hat. Anyone know where i can get those two pieces for the 03 cobra pumps?

    5.4 engine

    Not sure about an FRPP 5.4 aluminum block, but they do make an aluminum 5.0 block. It's $5000 for a bare block. It'd be cheaper to do a big bore 4.6 if you really want the displacement.
