    Which Hood????

    Keep it as-is and spend the money on go-fast parts. Hate seeing a stang with a 4" cowl hood (or Cobra R, or Termi, or Saleen/Roush etc) getting its ass handed to it by cobalts and calibers bc it has nothing to back up its appearance. But if you are dead set on a new hood, the Termi hood looks...

    Alternator for Mongoose'd Bullitt

    Turns out the Grinder was a bit too much. A simple $7 hand file was more than up to the task. No clearance issues at all.

    Alternator for Mongoose'd Bullitt

    Cool. Just to be safe, I went and bought a Porter-Cable 10,000 rpm grinder. Should do the job ;) It just looks too close for comfort. In fact the pulley has such a tiny bit of play in it, and if I push it towards the alternator they touch ever so slightly. Thanks guys.

    Alternator for Mongoose'd Bullitt

    Just got a new alternator for my Vortech'd Bullitt. I didn't even think about it until I installed it and realized there is very little clearance between the alternator and one of the pullies that is part of the blower kit. I mean, you can see there is space between the two but barely. I...

    I'm Bored with Mustangs...

    I didnt read everything else, but I've been in your shoes so I'm speaking from experience here. Obviously I dont know much about your finances, but heres my .02..... If you are squared away financially, (little to no debt, not saving for a house, things like that) and you have the money to...

    18x9s, 18x10s

    Like I said, they look great on Termi's but a GT needs to be lowered to pull it off. Now, the 295's I have on now look perfect with the stock springs.

    which blower???

    I thought my car was the bees knees until I got to drive my buddy's 2.1 KB. It just pulled, and pulled until he told me to let off :D If not for other obligations, I would be very tempted to buy your KB kit. To the OP, either choice is going to wake your car up. If you can, try to...

    18x9s, 18x10s

    it is a lot of meat (thats what she said). 315's look badass on a Termi, but if you're gonna throw them on a GT, make sure you lower it a bit. These were on my Bullitt, stock springs. The 295's I have on it now look better, imo.

    which blower???

    With your budget, I'd just keep saving until you can afford a used KB kit. I have a Vortech SQ, and while it sounds bad ass, its just not as fun IMO as driving a twins-screw. My car dyno'd 370/377, but truth is it doesnt feel that quick until I get above 4000 rpms. Now a KB, instant torque...

    A day that I will, unfortunately, never forget...

    First and foremost, glad you're alive and not seriously injured. As much as I know it hurts to lose your car, it can be replaced, YOU can't. Good luck with everything, hope this guy gets his. Look at the silver lining: all those memories and good times you had with your old car, you get to do...

    4.10s or 3.73s, what catback, are long tubes worth it?

    Around. Actually moved from Little Rock to Baltimore a couple years ago. Once I got here I never really found a good group of car buddies like I had down in LR, so I gradually faded from the car scene all together. Never meant to, life just got in the way. Then a couple months ago a...

    4.10s or 3.73s, what catback, are long tubes worth it?

    Thanks for reminding me about buyfordracing.com, completely forgot about them. They have great prices on everything I need right now except for the axles but I can find them on a different site. That brings the total to $800 for parts. Guess if I can find a good shop that won't rape me on...

    4.10s or 3.73s, what catback, are long tubes worth it?

    Haha, just kidding F'krs. Knew that title would get your attention though. Actually need some info/advice/help regarding a new 8.8. It's been almost 2 years since I was seriously involved with my car and I swear I've forgotten more about it (and mustangs in general) than I learned in the 4...
