    I would except I'm 5 hours away. :( I just happened to be in that area vacationing, so I stopped by since there are no dynos near me.

    Dyno #'s in!!!...Can I beat a Mach???

    Honestly, I'm not sure. I think it might be SAE because on the printout it says "Correction Factor: 1.01 STD," along with listing all the weather conditions.

    Dyno #'s in!!!...Can I beat a Mach???

    I got it dyno'd at The Dyno Shop in Santee. I will eventually race a Mach- just can't right now. I broke my right wrist, so I have to reach over and shift with my left hand!!!!

    Dyno #'s in!!!...Can I beat a Mach???

    Thanks for the replies. You're right about area under the HP curve- a Mach will have this advantage since it has 1000 more RPM of usable power. But the weight advantage of my GT will help me out. Should be a close race....

    Dyno #'s in!!!...Can I beat a Mach???

    Finally went to a dyno today. On my final run, after tweaking my A/F with my remote optimizer, I got 277rwhp (stayed there from 5000-5500rpm). My peak torque was 313 @ 4200 rpm. My A/F ratio was pretty constant with a low of 13.1 and high of 15.0 . My A/F at peak HP was 13.5. The temperature...

    BBK L/Ts Installed- Best Mod Yet!!!!!

    I got the ceramic coated BBKs for $400 on ebay (brand new). Me and a friend finally got around to installing them. Took us 10 hours over a 2 day period on a chasis lift in the Auto Hobby shop (nice being in the military). Only spent $25 for use of the lift. Anyways, we ended up using the BBK...

    Rear Bullitt/Cobra Brakes

    Cobra rear rotors are 12". This is definitely bigger than the GT rear rotors.

    Rear Bullitt/Cobra Brakes

    Is it true that you have to remove the axles to install the rear bullitt/cobra brake kit? If so, how hard is this to do? BTW, I know installing them on the rear won't really improve braking performance. I would be doing it for aesthetics only to match the front.

    What's it take to beat a Mach1

    Yet again, we need a math lesson on Stangnet...... A 16% drivetrain loss would be 84% of the flywheel HP. .84 X FWHP = 289rwhp Therefore, FWHP= 289rwhp/.84 = 344 fwhp You can't "add 16%" to get fwhp I see these false HP calculations come up all the time on here. I'm not trying to...

    L/Ts and Magnaflow X w/cats

    I want to get BBK L/Ts but I'm not thrilled about taking off my $400 magnaflow X w/ cats just to buy another mid-pipe so it will fit the long tubes. If I put the long tubes on myself, would a good muffler shop be able to cut my x-pipe and flange the ends so it bolts up to the collectors on the...

    Running out of bolt-ons...

    Who here is running out of bolt-ons like me? See the mods in my sig... I've done almost every bolt-on to my GT and I still want it faster. The only things I still want are headers, supercharger, p&p heads, bigger brakes and possibly a dyno tune. UCA's and LCA's are a possibility but I'm more...

    Installed X pipe on GT, possible leak....

    Tightening the nuts down more is not going to get rid of the leak. Take it to a good muffler shop and have them check the fit of the x pipe to header. My magnaflow x w/cats did the same thing. I took it to the shop, and they grinded down the flange that meets up with the exhaust manifold...

    Gas pedal sticking???

    The sticking has nothing to do with your throttle cable. The problem is with the throttle body. If it is sticking at initial throttle tip-in, you need to adjust the small set screw on the throttle body that controls the stop point of the blade at closed position. Turn this just enough so...

    Does anybody in east tx. with a programmer want to make some money?

    dude, someone else's programmer won't work on your car unless they program their car back to stock.

    Is Kar Kraft stuff alright?

    The automatic version of the mach 1 engine does not have the forged crank.

    WHAT DO YOU THINK???????

    I have the m5400 handling kit. I called Ford Racing and they said it's exactly the same as what's on the Bullitt. I love mine- it's got to be the best suspension kit for the money.

    can bullitt front brakes be used on the rear?

    I've noticed the front bullitt brake kit costs the same as the rear kit. But the front kit has twin piston calipers and bigger rotors. So could I buy two front brake kits and use them all the way around? I think the 13" rotors would look great in the rear, plus I'd have twin pistons for the...
