    How does the rev limiter work?

    I have an automatic. When I run in first gear and go over 5000 rpms (approximately), the car cuts out. Is this the rev limiter or do I have other problems?

    Pictures of my 4-point roll bar

    Attached are pictures of my Autopower 4-point roll bar. I purchased it from steeda.com. The naugahyde roll bar padding is also by Autopower. I purchased it from Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies. What do you think? Sorry but I am unable to upload my Mavica files. I will try later.

    another question on handheld programmers??

    The Diablo Predator will not allow you to modify the transmission settings without installing their performance tune.

    Mac Longtubes or BBK Longtubes.......HELP!!!

    You might also want to consider Hooker LT headers. I gained 23 rwhp from Hooker headers and their o/r x-pipe.

    99+ Verts with rollbars...

    I bought the autopower 4-point roll bar (steeda.com) for my 2001 convertible. It looks great, especially with nagahyde covers. I thought about a 6-point roll bar but you lose the rear seat and have to climb over them to sit in the front. I'll try to post some pictures of my stang.

    My Horsepower Seems Low

    Have you received on estimate on heads and cams? Unless you do the work yourself, you are probably looking at $3000. Might as well save a little bit longer and buy a supercharger. With the heads and cams, you will gain around 60 rwhp. With the supercharger, you will gain 120-160 rwhp.

    My Horsepower Seems Low

    Before I added the Magnaflow catbacks, my car dynoed at 249 rwhp. I added at least 6 rwhp with the catbacks, bringing me to 255 rwhp. I have not been real happy with the Diablo Predator. Perhaps a dyno tune with a Superchip would give me the power I expect.

    My Horsepower Seems Low

    My 2001 automatic is rated at 208 rwhp (260 bhp). Having spend $2000 in bolt-on modifications (see signature), I've added about 47 rwhp putting me at 255 rwhp (319 bhp). If I had a 5-speed, I would be at 265 rwhp. When I read other people's signatures, it seems like they are making a lot more...

    Will i hit 300rwhp, Mod plan

    With my automatic, I dynoed at 249 rwhp (see list of mods below). It would have been 259 rwhp with a 5-speed. I believe that I added another 6-8 rwhp with my new Magnaflow catbacks. 300 rwhp will take custom cams and/or p&p heads.

    stock mufflers???

    Most people will tell you that catbacks are only for sound. The truth is you can probably pick up an additional 8-10 rwhp depending upon the system that you buy. Check out this product review of three catback exhausts: Magnaflow, SLP, and Bassani. The best gains can from the Magnaflow with...

    Too much exhaust flow = loss of power

    0-60 mph times are everything if you are racing street light to street light. Also, if you lose too much on the low end, you will never make it up on the top end. In the quarter-mile, you are probably running 90-100 mph. 0-60 mph is an important part of the equation. Fortunately for me, most...

    1st Ever Winter Project! SC and more

    My goal this past year was to improve my performance through bolt-on modifications. After soliciting feedback on stangnet, I've pretty much exhausted the bolt-on route (see signature below). My goal for next year is to add a supercharger. After doing some research and reading various...

    Too much exhaust flow = loss of power

    I already have 4.10s. Don't get me wrong, I like the high-end power. But, I like the low-end power for neck-snapping take offs. The reason for my thread was to warn others about removing all restrictions from their exhaust, thus eliminating back pressure. This is beneficial only for...

    Too much exhaust flow = loss of power

    Everyone agrees that the Mustang exhaust is restrictive, whether it's the exhaust manifold, catted h-pipe, or the catback exhaust. If you eliminate some of that restriction by replacing stock parts with performance parts, you can add horsepower. What happens, however, if you replace all three...

    Exhaust is Too Loud!

    I gained 23 rwhp from the Hooker LT headers and o/r x-pipe. These two exhaust mods have by far been the best performance mods to date. I have the Magnaflow catbacks. According to postings on this forum and the product review that I listed above, the Magnaflows are suppose to be the quietest...

    Exhaust is Too Loud!

    This sounds like the best solution. But, I just checked it out and magnaflow makes 40 different cats. Any suggestions?

    Exhaust is Too Loud!

    I am getting too old, but even when I was younger I liked fast cars that were more subtle in their sound. Thanks for the tip about the cats and/or h-pipe. Unfortunately, Hooker only sells the o/r x-pipe to match up with their headers. I do remember reading a thread where someone had a muffler...

    Exhaust is Too Loud!

    I finally completed my exhaust system. For a couple months, I have been running my stock catbacks with Hooker LT headers and o/r x-pipe. The headers and x-pipe slightly increased the sound. Today, I installed Magnaflow catbacks and my car is increadibly loud. I know that I will get grief for...

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    I'd go with the Mach I for two reasons. First, it's about $10,000 cheaper. Second, the horsepower of the Mach I is underrated. Hot Rod magazine recently dynoed a stock Mach I at 280 rwhp (333 bhp). They then spent $1800 in bolt-on modifications and added another 30 rwhp. The result is a...
