    ram air

    Thanks for pictures, but I don't think it's gonna help...hmph... What I'm looking for isn't the drains on the pan that go around the shaker itself, but what about the water that actually makes its way inside that intake. For example...a story of a rain drop. It's raining outside, and the drop...

    color of gauges at night

    If the wiring is in fact there, do I just install the buttons, or do I still need to do install mycolor gauges.... If I have to rip off the dash, I'm not doing it. Worked in an auto collision center and have messed with enough dashes to last a lifetime...

    Passenger footwell water leak?

    Interesting...no leaks on my end, yet, but I know Ford, for a while, was infamous for their AC units leaking into the floorboards. But I think that specific problem was taken care of... You just reminded me, though, I need to take my car in, still, for its seat-belt recall...

    Dyno'd car, 400rwhp; tuned by Doug at dynojoe's in Houston (Video)

    Can anyone shed light on the rumor of the gears flexing HP numbers on the dyno at the wheels? Also, is this a stock driveshaft/axles you're running? You've got the build that I want on mine...but probably without the roushcharger pulley.

    Mythbuster: LT headers/PP on forced induction. Gain or no gain?

    So I sit here, pencil in hand, writing away my wallet to the automotive gods contemplating what I want my "dream mustang" to end up being. (Shoot past the moon and aim for the stars...it's the only way you'll make it to the moon). LT headers make a difference on an NA motor. However, I wanna...

    ram air

    Or is it possibly catching more of the *****, emissions, etc coming from the car you're tailgating going directly into the intake whereas having the filter behind the fender uses the fender to protect against that stuff? I saw the above post on the hydrolock protection with ram air systems...

    05-09 Mustang Cabin Air Filters

    My insides have smelled a little bit. I'd been wondering why...I wonder if this has something to do with it. It's an 06, but I have no record of it every having been changed, and I've had the car about 7 or 8 months.

    Umm, I'm new, and I'm an alcoholic...

    Is that right... well, tell him that Ben said hey. Haha. While your goals for power on the car are about what I was looking to turn the car into, I'll probably still roll with the blower. I just don't want to pull the engine apart... I'll PM you after posting this message up. 08, let me know...

    Mr Q, I'd be interested in meeting up with you, sometime. 1) To get to know someone in socal OUTSIDE of the military, 2) someone to show me where to go to start getting back competitive/legally active in my car, and 3) to meet someone (or more) from stangnet. I'm stationed here at Miramar, buddy!

    Would you mind sending the dyno? Just for bragging rights so I can tell people what she actually puts down. I was told it was just over 300 at the wheels with the mods on the dyno (according to its previous owner who brought in a dyno printout that was lost in the sauce). I'll PM you my address...

    Does anyone here hunt salvage yards?

    When I bought my mustang GT used from the dealership, I forgot to check to see if the lumbar switch on the driver's seat worked or not. Well...it doesn't. So I need a new switch. Cheapest I've found is 39$ + shipping from teamfordparts.com Let me know if you find better...or in salvage...

    Umm, I'm new, and I'm an alcoholic...

    Oh, and it still has the JLT and pypes on it, as well as using the xcal 93octane tune on it. Is it still the 3.55 gears? And, curious, why 4.30 gears? I was thinking about the 3.73, 3.90, or 4.10's...

    Umm, I'm new, and I'm an alcoholic...

    Wow... I'm honestly speechless. That's incredible. The car was sold for 21,9xx. I purchased her from Toyota in June of 2008 from Cobb County Toyota. I tried talking them down on the price, but they said that was literally as low as they could go without losing money on it. The car was purchased...
