    Deep dish bullitts

    I believe wheel replicas is the main supplier for almost everyone with bullitt wheels give them a call and see if they have any in stock. They were great to me.

    BHP vs. HP

    BHP was a European equivilant of HP. Both are extremely similar. The Brits use it all the time when listing a cars FWHP. They use a slightly different calulation than our SAE standards to measure a cars FWHP. I have found that it ranges in difference sometimes as little as 2-5 HP up to 15 hp. I...

    Gas Mileage

    Going from home to Chicago to see a buddy with luggage and passenger. I got 27.8 mpg up there at 70 mph. Would have got more if we kept it 65. These cars can get a respectable mileage with few mods. My mods at the time were Magnaflow catback and K&N FIPK.

    Whats the diff. between B and C springs?

    same drop, B's are progressive and C's are linear in spring rates, Hence B's are less harsh than C's. I believe that B's were used on Bullitt cars. They had Tokico shocks on them though.

    5.0 vs 4.6

    I have both and until I started putting some bolt ons on the 5.0 it would have won the 60' battle but lost the 1/4 mile war. Now it is a drivers race.

    Magnaflow Exhaust

    I just fitted a UPR X and Magnaflow catback. I think the sound is growing on me. Definatly a better performer for it.

    Should I get this??

    actually I think Nos is the one that uses the gas pedal. Zex uses the TP sensor to trigger the nitrous. Off topic Does anyone know web sites where you can find nitrous refilling stations?

    3G alt., what parts needed?

    just go down to any parts store and buy any of those wire stripper/connecter combos for $12 and you should have everything you need. Do you have ring connectors for the 4 AWG wire? Those took a little searching. After that just check the routing of the wire to make sure you have enough. I just...

    Upgrade exhaust - Worse Performance

    You can put restricting pipes in where the catback goes. Other than doing a complete swap for smaller pipes there isn't much you can do without trying to bump the horse power from the engine. I'd say that that v-6 needs some back pressure. As for clearing the ECU, I always unplug the...

    Upgrade exhaust - Worse Performance

    you probably lost low end torque. That would give a huge SOTP feel of being slower. That exhaust flows for a V-8 at 2.5" I would have gone 2.25"-2" with tips that were bigger.

    New Exhaust....Now Overheating...WHAT?!

    that's what I thought too. The revs come much quicker with a 2.5 from headers back rather than stock with weld in flows. I should look into replacing that stuff but hey that takes money.
