    How much can I expect for my car?

    KBB rates it at $13,860 under private party. You might get 15k with the mods but it might be tough. If you can't get that then the thing to do would be to remove the SC and sell it separate from the car on Stangnet or e-bay.

    just got a 1998 mustang GT

    You could do the PI parts swap alone and acquire around 30-40 more HP, but if you're looking to turn it into a drag car and considering the higher dollar heads/cams and bullet intake, then save the money from buying the PI parts and go directly into buying the other parts you wish to have. Just...

    Tuned by the best!

    Good numbers and great to hear that information. I had thought about going TT but all I want is just some good power. I'm considering acquiring a KB setup for my NPI motor and see how much we can get this beast up to at least 350-400HP. When my current motor has outlasted its usefulness in a...

    MGW shifter install question

    Well, I also had to pay GA taxes on mine or it would have been about 15 dollars cheaper. But I ordered it on a Wednesday night on their website and it was waiting for me Friday afternoon!

    MGW shifter install question

    Just wanted to add this: before MGW shifter, I had the occasional shift into Reverse "Grinding", seems I have not had a single grind since installing the MGW and I will also add that the 2nd-3rd shift is so much better. This may have been the best 200 bucks I've spent so far and it wasn't even...

    MGW shifter install question

    Installed mine this morning. I will add to the many testamonials about this shifter kit that MGW has. They send you detailed instructions with pictures, the RTV, new bolts to mount shifter on the tranny, and also an allen wrench to mount the lever and set the stops. All you have to get is a...

    What to do to a 98 GT?

    I'm running FRPP 3.73's, K&N and Flowmasters on my '98 'Vert. I just ordered a MGW shifter last night for the pig so at least the fun to drive quotient has risen significantly since I acquired it. Since I have 100k on mine, I'm planning mostly mods to the vehicle itself and steering away from...

    Differential leak...

    Had the same problem and was taken care of with a gear change. If you're even remotely considering a gear change, I'd go ahead and get it done and save the extra 100 bucks by just getting the repair done. Just make sure you can get a decent deal on getting the gears done. Mine cost 300 for...

    3.73 Gears videos in daily driving

    Traded 4.10 axle for 3.73 axle last week I had recently acquired 4.10s a couple of months ago in my '98 Vert in order to smoke a '05 Monte Carlo SS (which I was successful). Last week, my nephew (who is a certified FoMoCo mechanic) swapped out my rear axle for his (new FRPP 3.73 gears...

    Questions about getting racing stripes.

    I wouldn't go the painted on route these days. There are some great aftermarket racing stripes available that will save you quite a bit of dollars. This Bob White Decals a they have some great stripes for most late model 'Stangs! :nice:

    What do the gears really do?

    You'll pick up some rpms but you'll theoretically lose some top end. With say 4.10s your motor will turn the driveshaft 4.1 times around for each wheel revolution as opposed to say 3.27 times around which makes your engine work a little harder to get the car up to speed. The result is that you...
