    Fords @Englishtown this weekend 10/28-10/29

    It looks like Sat is going to be a wash out, but if it clears up on Sunday I will come out with my '06 and make a couple passes. 7-UP BILL: Is your '90 rather heavily modified and were you a judge in the show field several years ago? I haven't been to this show/race in about 3 years, but I...

    SUPERCHARGING HELP

    I have heard several Whipple's at idle that made my T-trim sound quiet, but they were custom installs on Thunderbird Supercoupes. I am sure the blower case and inlet piping have something to do with that.

    FYI - Saleen SC w/ free body kit

    I was surfing Ebay for '05+ parts and came across this promotional offer: Buy the Saleen twinscrew and receive a free Saleen body kit Link. I had the idea to buy the combo, sell the body kit, and get the twin screw for a very nice price. I decided against investing/wasting money on another...

    FRPP Borla Stingers installed

    Thats how I was able to deal with the drone on my 5.0L. :D I think most buyers would love the sound of these mufflers and won't have an issue.

    FRPP Borla Stingers installed

    My Stingers arrived today and I just finished installing them. Comments: 1) The install was very easy and I was able to do it by myself with a bad left shoulder. If you have another set of hands, I can see installing the whole setup in a half an hour. 2) The set-up is lightweight and...

    FRPP Stingers?

    I just installed the FRPP/Borla axle-back and it took me about 1.5 hours doing the job by myself. If I had another set of hands, it could be done in WELL under an hour. I used a 15mm deep socket on a 1/2" drive, and a 13mm socket on a 3/8" drive, and a 13mm open end wrench.

    Anyone take advantage of 0/72 on 06's?

    The dealer I bought my '06 from has a big electronic billboard, and today's advertisment read " 0% 72 months is not over!! " If someone is still trying to get in on this, check with your area dealers.

    ramps for oil changing - why? how?

    http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/News/mwramps/index.htm I made a set of ramps similar to these after I lowered a one of my cars and couldn't pull it up onto my tall, steel ramps. They work great. The good: they are low profile; they are heavy so they won't slide or push out of the way...

    Anyone take advantage of 0/72 on 06's?

    I took advantage of the deal. I traded in my '04 Mach 1 and bought a '06 GT premium 5spd. The dealer lots were filled with automatic equipped GT's, and it was very hard to find any 5spd cars, let alone in the colors I wanted. Torch red wasn't in my top choices, but I liked it enough to buy the...

    16" wheels on a GT??

    I just purchased my '06 last week, but I am already thinking ahead to winter on this one. I want to purchase dedicated winter tires for the car and will run a factory wheel. I most likely will go with a 17" combo, but just for the sake of knowing, will a factory 16" wheel clear the GT's brakes?

    Another new '06 owner...

    Thanks to 0% financing, I just got into an '06 GT premium 5spd. The dealer gave me $21k for trade-in on my '04 Mach 1 which I feel was probably better than average. I used to hang around Stangnet many years ago when I had my '91 LX 5.0, and just wanted to say hello and that it's good to be...

    FRPP Borla Stingers installed

    I do indeed hope they sound nice. I can't believe that I just paid $400+ for a pair of mufflers with tips. And I am very picky about the sound of exhaust on a Mustang. Hopefully they live up to all the hype. I have heard the IMCO extreme axle-back soundclips online and they do sound mean. I...

    Allen Engine Development revII Supercharger kit for 99-04 gt's

    IMO - As far as moderately powered, daily drivers go, this is a wonderful kit. Its not for the guy trying to make huge dyno #"s, or for the person looking for low 11's in the 1/4. Its aimed at the owner who wants to be able to run past LS1's, yet still put 12-20K miles a year on his car. The...

    How to get 500 RWHP??

    True. I don't see this directed towards me, so no comment. Absolutly. A 500whp, reliable daily driver in no joke. Those kind of numbers and investment in money usually end up turning the car to weekend/strip duty. Buy the car. Save your money. And start with a much lower HP goal and...

    Why does the 03GT feel slower than the 96

    Do you guys have the same gears? If he has 4:10's and you have 3:27's that would feel like a huge difference.
