    Fog Light Bar

    This is a little off topic, but i was wondering how much the fog light mounting bracket weighs? Right now both the bulbs in mine are bad, not to mention the lense is cracked on both. So i was wondering if it would benefit me anything as far as weight.

    I'm sorry you had to learn your lesson that way. I know that it doesn't feel good getting it broke off in ya like that, especially with no lube. I try to make it a habit of getting a quote before i take my car to the shop, thats if i take my car to the shop, (only done twice) and usually the...

    Engine Bay Progress Pics

    My favorite part about your engine bay set up is the mounting and location of the battery, very nice.

    What size injectors are you running? I'd say at least run 36, but preferrably 42.

    I would have to agree with Cobra on this one and say that if your already going to be tearing into your engine, and putting some nice expensive pieces on it, you might as well replace the rotating assembly while your at it. Also make sure you remember to factor in the cost of the machine work...

    Guessing approx. HP-1/4 mile

    I run a very similar set up, almost identical to yours, down to the aluminum drive shaft and the U/D Pullies, except i'm running TW 185cnc heads and i'm putting down 270rwhp and 290rwtq on a mustang dyno. I don't really know the difference between a "mustang dyno" and a dyno jet or w/e, i've...

    went to the track.....

    The stock tach is pretty well known for not being accurate, usually down low its too low, and up high its too high. Take it to the dyno, and see what the tach on the dyno says compared to the one in your car. Also you can see where your making all your power at, which in turn will help you...

    9200 really high. I have talked to two of the people around here. One of them being Justin at JPC ( www.jpcracing.com ) and he quoted me 1/6 that price. After you put that much money in it, you could have a really...REALLY nice dart block 306/331/347. EDIT: 1/6th the price for labor...

    If your goal is 12's, no need to dig into the internals, all you would need to do is a H/C/I swap, and the TFS kit should do that for you. I would also suggest going with mass air (pro M), and go with 24lb injectors to be safe. After all i don't know about you, but i'd rather run a little on...

    I agree with everything, except the DSS 331, I would personally go with an internally balanced 331 unless your sticking with N/A. In which case the 347 would be the way to go, and don't worry about the oiling problem, companies like SCAT and Eagle don't have that problem with there kits.

    I would say stick with the TFS package, i believe thats about 2k for h/c/i. I'd put the rest in the driveline. Maybe a Spec clutch, and chassis stiffening (full length subframe connectors, torque box reinforcements) and a nice rear end. If you have any money left over, pick up a set of...

    What are your goals as far as power? Do you have any mods currently? What are you going to use the car for?
