    TERMI Or S197 gt

    I fully agree everone gets their own opinion, but when you post up something as one-sided as you did, you're going to get attacked, and for good reason. I would prefer only TRUE FACTS on this site, or course including opinions. I don't so much care what griggs can do, you are going to pay a ****...

    Advice on Wheel/Tires?

    You could search around on google. I'd stick with an 18x9 max up front. 18 in. Staggered Black Saleens for the 2005-up Tire sizes are also recommended.

    1st Mustang looking for tips

    If you drive mainly highway or above 50mph and are still concerned with gas mileage, I would not do gears. They are good for round town, stop and go driving on the street. They will hurt your gas mileage, especially a 90 mile commute. You can get a GT rear fascia, or cut the bumper, and get some...

    Just ordered my new hood..

    It was my understanding that you needed a tune because the MAF housing is replaced with a substantially larger unit. If your looking for the extra horsepower now you could do it, but I don't think cervini's would post that all over their product if it wasn't true. Especially given their...

    Just ordered my new hood..

    I was looking at this same hood. But cervini says you don't NEED a tune. your not changing the MAF housing so why would you need one? I understand more HP and better shifts for auto, but it isn't a REQUIRED item right?

    modding shock towers

    Not entirely true. :nono: Some theories just aren't true. A good read for both sides. http://forums.stangnet.com/720194-mustang-ii-ifs-real-info-debate-thread.html So you suggest cutting them and compromising an existing issue that you've personally seen, and turning a bomb into a...

    So if I have a 70 coupe, would this be compatible?

    Transmission Cooler for C4

    That is almost double the height. Is it ok to block that much of the radiator. What about the fit for the condenser? And do you think a pusher fan would be necessary if the cooler isn't as big?

    Power Steering question

    It's going to make it easier to turn the steering wheel but no extra horses. Maybe lose a few due to parasitic loss.

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    There are negligible before that they tripled the price of them. They were considered a very minor mod and everyone was teter-totering whether they were even worth 150-200. I wouldn't consider an aluminum one for the price. Look for a carbon. A little more but a much better improvement.

    Looking for a head unit to replace the Shaker 500

    x2 on it not being compatibile. As far as personal experiences, it's that way with most factory installed systems from at least Ford and Chrysler. Everyone I've talked with, 2 people, who have the AVIC series love it. Good reviews for sound and user interface.

    LS or HEMI motor in an 05+...any conversion parts out there???

    I figured it was a laptop order. I'm familiar with LS1Edit, as in I have looked at it. :D Best way to do it I guess but with such a minimal number of internal engine mods that you have, I wouldn't think you could get much out of it. :shrug: As you very well know, the 96-98 4.6 2v's were the...

    Transmission Cooler for C4

    :rlaugh: full of help :rlaugh: That's a similar cooler that I am contemplating too. I'm also not getting a radiator with a trans cooler integrated into it. However I'm not running A/C so depends on the size of the condensor as to how much room you have but that b&m is pretty small. Should...

    LS or HEMI motor in an 05+...any conversion parts out there???

    On another question, I thought the 224r cam was a rather mild, street friendly cam. Can't believe you're hitting that high HP number corrected......hmmm. LS1's are good for around 400rwhp with this cam AND LS6 heads. Texas Speed 224R Camshaft Texas speed says it's good for 30-35 rwhp if...

    LS or HEMI motor in an 05+...any conversion parts out there???

    They did!!!! It was called the 2000 Cobra R!!! The 4v 5.4L made 385 HP as everyone knows. Albeit they only made a limited number it shows the 'capability' of the 5.4L tuned for a MUSTANG and not a TRUCK. And I'll agree that LS1's are very responsive to the "little" mods. But it becomes a game...

    Installing a potent stereo into classic... advice?

    Sounds like someone wasn't happy making a 1599 on their SAT's. :D :rlaugh: But seriously, I understand the concept, but with a properly insulated trunk and cabin, I just don't think it's necessary. I kind of want to get in a car now that has a ported cabin to see what the difference would be...

    Installing a potent stereo into classic... advice?

    Can't answer everything but here's a shot at what I know: 1. It would be best to upgrade alternators if it's using an original. 100 amp would be enough. Mustangs Plus*::*Electrical*::*Alternators/Related Products 2. Not sure but crutchfield would be able to answer that. 3. What size...

    Subframe Connectors Install

    As I was not restoring my mustang when mine were installed, I was trying to get at the point of making sure your supension is "weighted". Not on a frame lift, or one side jacked up or on a rotissere (sp?). As I said, the absolute best advice I can give is call Global West or a distributor...

    http://forums.stangnet.com/750440-subframe-connectors-some-questions.html Some ways down you can see a picture of the guy welding on the SFC's with the weight of the car ON the tires. On my old '98, I was told to also do this. I couldn't do it myself because I didn't have a fancy lift and I...

    LS or HEMI motor in an 05+...any conversion parts out there???

    I don't think anyone can argue that. It seems mustangs in general do not respond as well as several other manufacturers to "minor" mods. That's why I think if you buy a mustang with a mod motor and want to seriously up HP, you need a charger. All this n/a stuff will only take you so far. But...
