    Kenne Bell on the 5.0??

    That and with a good engine management system all it takes is touching a few buttons to dial in a more relaxed level for the street. If I go with forced induction I will no doubt go with a single turbo setup.

    Kenne Bell on the 5.0??

    Just make a choice, do you want low to mid rang tq and power or do you want mid to high end tq and power. To me I think for mid to high rpm tq and power turbo is bar none a better choice than a vortech. Turbo's are power makers(anything that can make a stock 160hp 4 cyl go 10's and 11's in the...

    Are Flow Tech headers really that bad?

    From what I have gathered from the mixed reviews is that they are hit and miss. I also see that the summit brand has a pretty got following on the quality per price front. I guess I'll go with them.

    Ok I have a problem

    Well I have tried 3 different sizes now to no avail. 84.25, 76, and 7976 is to short and 79 is to long so I guess a 77? I thought there would be some give in what size you could get because of the tensioner but I guess I was sorely mistaken

    Ok I have a problem

    Ok guys I need some help quickly. It is not the alternator. Insted it is in fact the smog pump(if that is what is below the alternator.) Is there a serp. belt with the correct length to just bypass the smog pump? Or is there a way fro me to get around buying one because I'd just assume not have...

    Dyno predictions game :)

    Damn I would have been close if I got here in time, I was looking at your build and you said that a lack of tuning would hurt and I was going to guess 290whp and 315wtq. Oh well, mess around with that thing man, there is alot more power to be had IMO. I would think you could pull north of 330whp...

    Are Flow Tech headers really that bad?

    The only reason I ask is because they are priced very low compared to some of the larger brands. I can get a set of long tube Flow Techs for around $150 or so vs say BBK's or Hooker's for well over $500. I understand they may not flow as much as the bigger brands but will I be cutting myself...

    How much to paint entire car?

    This is how I plan to do it, I am going to handle as much of the prep work I can and then pay somebody to spray primer on it so it will be even and professional. Then I am going to rock the primer for a couple months and work on the interior before I get the paint put on. A majority of people...

    vote for a fox only magazine

    Thats fine. I understand also but these people have to cater to the masses and most people that own Foxes allready know damn near every tech aspect there is to know about them or they can be found online or in older issues rather easy. Sure it's not interesting to us what a 2010 Mustang can do...

    Nothing but they are newer. I'm not taking a jab at fox bodies or their owners so dont take it defensively. That would be like a GM mag covering 3rd gen camaro's to high hell. They are trying to usher in a new enthusiest and people tuning with hand held tuners and lap tops are not to interested...

    Foxes are 15 years old, you have a whole internet to read about them. And really what are you going to see in a mag that you have not seen before. 306's, 331's, 347's.....boosted, n/a, or on juice. That is about 90% of your modded Fox's. People get tired of reading and looking at the same...
