    Top 10 chick cars...

    In a college town like this it is definately a V6 Mustang. And I swear to God everytime I see one these little college girls, they are always yakking away on their cell phones.

    Can someone measure the hieght of their Bullitt or one with a Buillitt kit installed?

    The Bullitt suspension with more drop in the rear is the norm as mine and others I've seen look the same way. I don't think your shop messed up. Like someone said, if you want the slammed look don't get the Bullitt kit. This kit is a great bang for the buck. I seriously thought about...

    MM&FF Redheaded step.....

    Yup, they really lost track of their goal -- 300 HP keeping the non-PI heads and at the same time keeping it streetable. Something this board knew a long time ago -- on the 96-'98 GTs go the PI route if you wanna stay NA.

    Anyone have pics of the cracked intake manifold?

    Sorry I don't have a pic, but that's where mine cracked -- right at the base of the thermostat housing.

    Best Sounding Exhaust?

    Every exhaust on every car can sound different. Removing the stock snorkel/filter can change the pitch as well as headers and cams. For as many Mustangs as their are there that many different sounding ones. Also, IMHO, you have to hear it in person to get the full effect and appreciation...

    SHIFT KITS?>?>?

    I've had the transgo in mine for about 15 000 miles and no problems. The transgo generally gets bashed around here but I had done a lot of reading on the 4R70W and the J-mod and I found that the instructions were a bit unclear.. So I decided on the Transgo and had it professionally installed.

    what brand/style cat-back should i get for the 01 GT?

    I'd go with a Bassani (personal preference) but the Magnapacks and Borlas are also good choices. Nothing enhances the sound of an aftermarket cat-back system like an aftermarket mid-pipe. The stock mid-pipe is just too tame with all the cats it has. Work on your wife for the mid-pipe. Tell...

    Got new tires on

    275s are a great fitting tire on a 9" rim and you should have no problems. In fact the 275s and 315s are the same diameter so they compliment each other well. My 275s do stick out a bit on the front end but it doesn't bother me. The 255/40s I had on were perfectly flush.

    Any sn95's running 275/40-17 on 10.5 cobra r's on the Rear

    What year is your car. On my '98 GT my 275/40s just barely clear on my Bassani exhaust. Slapping on a 10.5" wheel would require some exhaust bending. The 99+ guys don't seem to have this problem. BTW, I don't know why you would buy a 10.5" wheel and only put a 275/40 on it. Why not 285 or...

    Best way to go on brakes?

    I think the moron in this case is the Steeda guy. Are we talking front brakes? Here is a good link. Scroll down and see the kits they have. http://www.performancepartsinc.com/suspension.htm BULLITT BRAKES ARE DIFFERENT FROM GT BRAKES

    Best way to go on brakes?

    You're a moron (just kidding). There is a HUGE difference between the GT and Bullitt brakes. Bullitt brakes have 13" rotors and utilize a 2-piston caliber. The GT front rotors are 11.5" (I think) and a single piston caliper. Perhaps you misheard. There is no difference between the...

    cobra brake kit

    If the above deals were steals then my deal was an all-out robbery. For $329 including shipping I got 2-13" Brembo rotors, 2 Mach 1 calipers AND stainless steel lines. Bought it on ebay and the kit arrived yesterday and looks killer. Note that the ONLY difference between the Cobra, Bullitt and...

    pullies yes or no

    Steeda underdrive pulleys here and no problems. Dollars per HP/torque gained they're a nice little bolt on.

    Bassani X-pipe With...

    I have the Bassani CB and X-Pipe and you would have to pry them from my cold dead hands to get them away from me. The sound is awesome. Also, always best to go with the same company for the CB and midpipe - fitment issues. If I did have a 2nd choice for the CB it would be the Magnapacks...

    Brake upgrade: Is this a good deal?

    Thanks all. Don't really care about the caliper color but I will shoot it with some high temperature paint if I but it (probably black). It's exactly what I wanted and wanted to verify it. It's essentially the Cobra kit you see everywhere for about $400 but it comes with stainless lines and...

    Anybody here have Stage I cams and didn't get a tune?

    Thanks y'all for the answers. I pretty much figured it would be unwise to run without a tune and a dyno tune would be the best bet. In short: cams+install+mail order tune+dyno tune = $$$$

    Anybody here have Stage I cams and didn't get a tune?

    Or at the very most a mail order tune. Just curious. A dyno tune is not always accesible and I'm wondering those who didn't get a dyno tune how your car runs. Thanks.
