    New toys and reason for absence

    Delta 40s are still loud you know, they just have less of an interior drone compared to the Super 40s, plus it does put a slight bit more restriction in the exhaust compared to the super 40s, but if you go with 2.25-2.5" there is no worries.

    New toys and reason for absence

    That is because the V6 muffler has to be the Offset/Offset muffler with opposite offsets. Super 40 is louder than the delta 40, but they sound the same pretty much.

    Replacing the PCV?

    Yes, you cut the PVC hose to fit the filter in, then use a 3/8" hose to go around the PVC hose and filter fittings, and clamps to hold them tight. It should not set off any emmission codes or fail because it still permits the crankcase gases to reach into the intake like it was designed for, the...

    Replacing the PCV?

    Well, the reason gas milage is lower on it is because the PVC pulls in oil from the crankcase and into the intake. It's a design flaw in the valve covers that has been known for years, older cars just came with oil separators. Some have claimed a good 1.5mpg increase just by adding that filter...

    Replacing the PCV?

    Do you have a pre-2001 V6 with the PVC pulling in oil? If so, that is caused by the design of the valve cover and the lack of a baffle. Best way to fix the oil coming into the intake of a pre-2001 is to stick an inline filter with some 3/8ths inch hose and clamps to catch the oil...

    96 v6 mustang, why is my car speed limited

    It's the governor, it limits the speed based on RPMs in a certian gear. About 3500-4000 rpms I believe it is set to, but the speed varies on gear ratios. Tuners and chips can take the program out of the memory or override it, at which you could take it further.

    the turbinator

    They offer gains in hp! When you dyno your car at 110F with 100% humidity at 4 miles up, then take that and dyno it at 40F with 2% humidity 4 feet up, you'll see big gains!

    the turbinator

    Yeah, all it does is create resistance and turbulance to the air flow robbing hp and gas milage. It is far from a turbocharger in any way.

    Street racing?!?!?

    The 1/8th mile track here is $10 to enter the gate and $10 per car racing, so if you want to race it's $20 but they don't just flat out say it. The quarter mile track is $8 to spectate and $15 to race, plus it's alot nicer of a track and a LOT less ricers.

    Street racing?!?!?

    Ack, yeah that's not cool. I remember when my uncle would always take me to the track when I went up to Michigan, but racing was his career. He loved it, made alot of money, and is basically retired. But if you think about it, something like the wheel breaking loose and the car sliding off can...

    Street racing?!?!?

    I go as soon as the gates open, because no one is racing. I can make a pass, come back around and make another without waiting. About 6:30-7pm it starts to pick up some, and by 8 it'll be packed.

    Horse Power

    Stock is 193 hp and 220 ft-lbs of torque at the crank, autos loose about 40 each and manuals will loose about 20. Intakes give about 2-5 hp and 5-10 ft-lbs of torque, atleast that's what mine showed. Exhaust should give about 10-15 hp, maybe more, I haven't tested them yet.
