    Plenum/TB Discussion Thread

    Didn't know this was a scientific experiement that I was participating in - I was out to have fun. Secondly, it is the same track and from what I remember the temperature was close to the spring runs. It certainly wasn't a cold/cool fall day here in the N.E. that day. I think there is a site...

    Plenum/TB Discussion Thread

    I thought I gave pretty specific information about pre and post Plenum/tb combo:shrug:. Don't trust? DRs don't add any speed (mph) and muffs were already upgraded over stock and don't add much anyway. If you want actual proof, here's the runs and there are vids on my photobucket page if you...

    Plenum/TB Discussion Thread

    OK, good topic and think I can add to the conversation with my personal experience. Setup: First time at the track, my mods were PI intake, PI cams, Steeda Pulley, FRPP catback and 3:90 gears (stock plenum and TB). I ran a best of [email protected] mph with a 2.02 60'. Added TF plenum and 70mm...

    Navigator or Expedition

    Well, I had a 99 expy and the wife drives an 03 expy now and it does towing duty. I would lean towards the 03 since it's newer, has ind. rear suspension, which makes the truck handle and drive much better and upgraded brakes. Both are Beefy trucks for sure. I loved the 99 after i got some...

    TEH NEW DAILY!!!

    Love it! Yeah, as you found out with a house having a truck is extremely helpful. Don't be suprised when friends and family, that have been preaching to you how ecofriendly their rides are and putting down trucks all this time, ask you to borrow the truck for convenience i.e. purchasing a new...

    Stang's Totaled - Goodbye to CobraRed's SN95

    Wow! My first instinct was to make sure it wasn't April 1st, cause I really hate those jokes and 2nd instinct was making sure your OK. Sorry for your loss of your beautiful stang. I hope we all can learn from your experience (thanks for sharing the brakes issue) and that you bounce back in...

    is accufab worth the $

    You do need to decide for yoursef because everyone has their own definition of "worth". For me, reading the different articles with dyno runs on an N/A car there was only a few hp difference between the high end Accufab and the lower end plenums (i.e. C&L and TF). I too went with the (new)...

    Post pics of your interior

    Bakos, love the Ford Racing rear seat delete (or just logo?). Here's mine. Sorry for the crappy pics - need some new ones in the light and when the interior is clean.

    rear upper or lower control arms?

    Lowers for sure. Here's a pic of stock LCA vs. the Steeda LCA going in. I think you can guess, which is which.

    professional products vs trick flow

    Have my Trickflow for about a year now (powder coated silver) and no problems. Got it from Summitt with good customer service on the order/delivery. I chose it based on the numbers posted, price and the look/finish. Back when I did my research, the Pro products unit had complaints about the...

    pi cams/intake on npi motor

    For me the PI cams and PI intake were worth between 20-25rwhp. I used NPI gaskets, which seal better for the coolant, but not well for the air intakes. I see most people use the PI gaskets.

    Plastic intake= garbage:mad:

    I feel for you and too believe that Ford really blew it when they use hard plastic parts to move hot antifreeze. I believe the cost cutters at Ford are to blame, not necessarily the engineers. Ford didn't admit to their being an issue till they got taken to court and settled on an "extended"...

    Went to the dyno today. Video

    That is strong and your track numbers back up the dyno results. Looks and sounds great as well! Congrats on the runs.

    bench racing... 13s?

    If you go with the rule of thumb that dropping .1 in the 60' drops 1/4 mile time by .2, you've got a good shot at doing it. On DRs, I went from a 2.1 on stock tires to a 1.9, so it worked for me, but I added more mods as well than you. Go for it!

    4.10s in and whining!

    IMO, the proper way to handle the situation would be to explain it again to him that you've been in other mustangs with 4:10s that don't whine, that the noise can't stay this way and you would like to have him give it another go. If at that point he refuses, then you risk friendship if you try...

    I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE

    I would see what the body shop says about fixing what you have. I've seen some dentless repairs done and scratches fixed real well. Instead of changing the color, how about some stripes or a new set of rims to change things up?

    Farewell guys...

    Sorry to see you have to sell the beautiful Cobra you had there. I'm lucky enough to be able to keep my stang as a weekender as I drive a company car for work/commute that makes me appreciate both cars more than having one vehicle. Tough position you were in with the stang being a DD and...

    Washed and Waxed today! **pics**

    That's the way a stang should look and sound. Nice job!

    Why does my passenger side sit higher then my driver's?

    Funny reply.:lol: Anyway, it could be spring orientation, how it sits in the A-arm or LCA and even manufacturing tolerances.

    This is not off to a good start...

    Ouch! Sounds like it has to be done. Hopefully you got a real good enought deal when you bought it back so you might feel like you didn't over pay. Was the rack leaking?
