    Pics of my 89 SSP(please dont laugh) lol

    I am getting another trunk and new front and rear bumpers. The car had been hit in the ass end so that is the reason for the lid thats on it. The guy took top notch care of the mechanics side just not the body and interior.

    Pics of my 89 SSP(please dont laugh) lol

    It is rough, I know. I got the car for $1300 so it is to be expected. I am having it primered and putting the stock 10 hole rims back on the car next week. Also that cancer spot on the rear quarter will be taken care of. Then I am putting like new front seats in it from a 90 lx, then I am...

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    Because a majority of guys like you cant afford a performance car that caddy has out(not saying you just in general) Dont think for a second that if I could a new STS-V or CTS-V that is what would be in my driveway. And you can slap a supercharger on anything and make it a big bad engine? That...

    They still have the northstar and it infact out performs the Mustang powerplants today when speaking in terms of hp and tq vs displacement. 470hp and 440hp from a 4.4 liter supercharged northstar is not to shabby. And I dont care about your personal feelings, Cadillac has a totally revamped line...

    :stupid: I had a 00 C5 and it was a nice car, the ride is rougher than a Mustang persay but there is no body lean at all. Gotta give a little to take a little ya know. I loved the way the car sat though as far as my comfort, leg room for days and arm rest/center consol position put your arms...

    Question on exhaust

    I dont have a bender but any bend I would need could be had from jcwhitney. I am 2500miles from my stomping ground so connections and hook ups are out of the question.

    anyone with any knowledge on trailblazer ss's

    They should have put their 6 speed automatic in them. I'm sure that 20+mpg on the highway could have been had.

    Question on exhaust

    I am doing a complete custom system. Ordering piping and flanges from JCWHITNEY and doing all the welding myself. I have also thought of running cut outs.

    Question on exhaust

    I plan coming back from the shorties then into mufflers then going with about a 45 to exit in front of the rear wheels. Is a H really going to help enough to complicate the simplicity of my plans?

    I had a C5 and I'm sorry but the interior is not cheap feeling and how you say any mustang pre 05(built on a 25+ year old platform) is more up to date than a C5+ vette is beyond me.

    in case u ever wondered what the s/c cobras rwhp stock..

    I dont care what anyone will say, a C5+ Vette is in a totally different segment than any Mustang that has been mass produced. I am not downing ford either but the Corvette is a sports car in every sense. It turns hard, it brakes hard, and has a killer mid to high rpm power and it is just a much...

    Nice numbers. On the other note, I dont mod my car for hp numbers or "respect" from others. I do it because I absolutly love wrenching on a car.

    Is your FOX an original V8 car or a 4cyl?

    stock 89 5.0 T5, and when I say stock I mean down to the air box, gears, and exhaust stock.

    anyone with any knowledge on trailblazer ss's

    They run low 14's which is good for a suv of it's size IMO. Has a 390hp/400tq ls2 in it. Dont handle as good as the Jeep SRT but rides better and has more room in it. Gets crappy mileage(15/16mpg hyw) but if your looking at it I'd say your not to concerned with that. No known recalls or problems...

    Dyno predictions game :)

    A compression test will just take a peak cyl pressure rating and a leakdown test will tell if the cyl is actually holding the pressure

    Question on exhaust

    Ok I plan on dumping my exhaust. I am going to get a pair of summit shirties and 2 1/2 inch piping back to about the fron seats then into a pair of mufflers and then dump the exhaust. I have a couple of questions being a noob to the 5.0 crowd. Am I loosing out by not running a X-Pipe setup...
