    What N/A bolt-on is proven to give the most WHP?

    Cams, but then you need a tune and might as well get headers too.

    Whats your favorite era?

    Can't...vote...too...difficult...must...aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh! Well the body style of the 64.5-66 is my favorite, but they couldn't stuff anything bigger than a 289 into it so next best is 67-68 fastback like the 390 GT in Bullitt but the 428 CJ makes everything else look like it's standing...

    Question for NA 4.6 Club members

    All stock w/ a drop-in K&N. My entire engine compartment looks bone stock from the top except no EGR. ;)

    Wheel spacers, size and brand?

    I have 1.25" with integral lugs. They pushed the 17X8 Cobra wheels right to the edge of the quarter panel on my '97, no rubbing with FRPP "B" springs. They're off the car now and for sale, only because I have to yank them every time I go to Discount Tire for a rotation/balance. Plus I'm going...

    VT stage 2 cams

    Comp Beehive valve springs or Crower springs would work. I think there might be another brand. I don't think they're C.A.R.B. legal but not sure how they affect a sniff test. You'll definitely need a tune but w/ stage IIs I'd recommend ported heads, long tube headers and a good plenum/tb...

    Metal Sleeve in Pro Chamber Box??

    I bought mine used from a forum member.

    Metal Sleeve in Pro Chamber Box??

    That sound is probably the gases rushing through the chamber. I hear it on acceleration too. It's louder than my Super Turbos until about 3k.

    5.4 question

    :stupid: Any way at all it can be done with a stock hood? K-member spacers? What kind of exhaust work?

    Electrical WTF?!?!

    Where else besides the motor mount?

    Electrical WTF?!?!

    As I started off to work this morning my '97 GT's ABS light came on and every time I started to let my clutch out the car tried to die. I limped back to the garage, shut down and then restarted. The car ran fine all the way to work. When I got to work and parked I shut down again and tried to...

    Do i have PI Intake and heads???

    Simple test: Race a Maxima. If you win (or lose because you roasted the tires), you have a PI top end. If you get beat, you're still non-PI.

    About to buy 13" BRAKES...OPINIONS PLEASE!!! (SSBC vs COBRA brakes)

    I upgraded from stock SN95 GT to Cobra fronts w/ steel lines. :nice: No more mush. It's a gigantic improvement over the OEM parts' stopping power and feel. I barely have to touch the pedal to haul it in now and I can feel exactly what's going on down there through the pedal. OEM Cobra pads...

    Anyone that has installed cobra calipers PLEASE come in

    It's a fine thread pitch. 1.0 vs 1.5 I think. I don't remember exactly. Discbrakesrus hooked me up with the right ones. Going from PBR to PBR you should be able to reuse the OEMs. I went from '97 GT fronts to Cobras and the bolts were NOT the same. Cobra brakes + ss lines = :nice:

    Falken Tires

    I went from Sumitomo HTR+ to the Falken 512s and SFCs. 60' times dropped .10 and I'm not scared to turn in the rain anymore. :nice:

    I just took off my catback, and started the car with only an o/r xpipe on......

    I watched a '96 Cobra with longtubes, no midpipe, no mufflers run on a dyno 3 times and couldn't get the ringing out of my ears or the smile off my face for 3 days.

    Anyone here hate their exhaust sound?

    Hate my exhaust When I bought the car it had a Bassani o/r X and Flowmaster 40s. It was ok at first but the rasp got on my nerves. WOT and idle are awesome but that's not where it is when I drive home from work. I got rid of the Flows and had some Summit Turbos welded in based on a post on...

    Do SVO heads come assembled?

    That's what I'll do then. I was leaning toward SVO heads/blower because of the compression ratio but it seems much cheaper to build a N/A monster w/ PnP PI heads/intake, VT or Comp cams and LT headers.

    Do SVO heads come assembled?

    I just talked to someone at a local shop who's under the impression that they don't come with any valvetrain components but Ford Racing's catalog makes mention of larger intake and exhaust valves. Do I have to buy those separately? If they do come with valves and springs would I have to...
