    Installed Steeda Sport Springs

    I took the plunge and started on the suspension. I'm not a mechanic, usually just an oil change guy, but was able to pull off the installation of the springs using the Mustangworld directions. Ride seems to be the same or better than before. Turns can be taken much quicker now. Of course...

    New Suspension FTW

    My dad had exhaust fabbed like that on his 71 Nova. I like it.

    Sema 2006 Mustangs

    Any info on the new Boss block? It would be nice if there was a writeup with the pictures talking about the motor. 350+hp would be nice.

    MRT H-Pipe w/Stingers?

    Just buy the mufflers for $150 on ebay and get them welded in for $80. That's what I did with my Borlas. Will save you 500. I have the MRT catted H. Very nice piece. I don't have the stingers though, I have the Borla Pro XS. Still sounds very good with the MRT. I've set off some car...

    I've decided on Borla....

    Not up on the 05's, but I assume you can cut out the stock muffler and have another welded in. Look for Wicked Nicky's exhaust on the net. I payed $150 for two mufflers shipped and just had them welded in on my 04.

    07 GT's now have less performance

    Try 3.90s 3.90s are a good split between 3.73 and 4.10. Also, going from 3.27 to 3.90, I haven't had any mileage difference. I'm pulling 2200 rpms at 70mph in overdrive (manual car). That is not bad at all. 75mph is a little under 2400. Very nice range on the highway, not over-revving...

    buying a new car!!!

    My experience is that imports may break less often, but cost more to repair when they do break. Kind of evens out.

    anybody ever tint their own windows?

    I did our family minivan, just the driver and passenger windows since the rest of the van was tinted. Turned out decent. Then thought I could do the Mustang, but the windows have more curve to them Turned out too difficult for me. I recommend paying someone for the Mustang.

    granatelli coil on plug connectors

    I bought and installed just the connectors for $100 since I'm NA. The connectors have been verified to be near 0 resistance independently. Not sure where the thread is, but I saw a pic of the actual test. The stock spring connection in there looks terrible compared to the GMS version. Not...

    Parnelli Jones motor - cammer?

    Is the Parnelli Jones motor the same as the 'cammer' motor? It's the same displacement, both mod motors, but horsepower numbers are different. Maybe the PJ one is detuned from the one you can get from Ford. Seems like the next logical motor choice (if not a 5.4) for a future Boss or next...

    new ford engine options for 2008.

    Didn't Ford also do the Employee pricing last summer but not this summer? That has to account for a lot of sales drops. I bought my minivan a few months earlier because of the awesome sales last year.

    Blistein or KYB AGX?

    QA1 adjustables. 10 adjustable positions. A little pricey, but they are highly recommended by many posters.

    Would YOU make the TRADE???

    I love the Saleens, personally not a fan of the black, but maybe it looks better in person. You have a nice Mustang, make sure you get a good deal out of it if you go for it.

    V6 or V8 for next car

    Try not to trade-in your Focus unless they are giving a good deal. Do some research and see what others are selling for on cars.com. In my case, I sold my '99 Ford Explorer for $5600, dealer wanted to give me a laughable 2800 (July 2005). It had 105,000 miles, but looked real good. If you...

    Funtional GT hood problems

    Thanks for sharing your results with us. Several people have done this, but not many post back the results of it. If you removed your honeycomb and didn't drill holes in it, maybe you can just slap the honeycomb back on for an easy fix?

    granatelli coil packs any one use they?

    I didn't get the whole coil pack, just the COP connectors for $100. Nice thick wire independently proven to give less resistance. Those springs in there from the factory are pathetic.

    the H or X debate

    Take a look at the MRT H-pipe, I got the catted version. Sounds great with Borla Pro XS mufflers (not expensive at all, $69 each). One MRT catted H before-after dyno I saw showed 8.x gain over stock. Hardly any difference in power between x and h that I have found. Not sure about Mac's...

    Getting a little impatient with MD

    They used to get lots of people asking about when they would ship their orders (including me). They then set up a ticket system so you can't read about others issues. I haven't seen KenB post their in a while. Maybe they got heavy in to racing. I'm guessing you'd get decent service if you...
