    Anti-theft "device"

    Hah, you're going to piss off a would-be car thief. I know the original owner of mine had an anti-theft device of a somewhat similar concept - is a digital key that cuts fuel and most other power if removed. Anyone, nice idea, thanks.

    Pusher or Puller

    I'm with Daggar on this one. Pulling will be more efficient and it won't be fighting against the air rushing in from the outside as you drive. I also agree that at speed you will get more air in w/o the fan running than the fan could pull in on its own. They are great for stop and go...

    electric waterpump?

    No, not the mechanical thermostat that resides in the system in stock form. I mean an add-on electronic thermostat w/ controller that reads engine temp and controls when things like an electric pump or fan kick on.

    electric waterpump?

    I just read last night in the latest 5.0 mag that there is a radiator, e-fan, and e-water pump combo now that is customized for 5.0 stangs. It is going on one of their project cars and they made a point to say that since the car will see more than just strip duty, the system is rated for long...

    electric waterpump?

    From what I recall, it would not work with the belt setup for a s/c.

    maf in fender

    Yeah. Powerpipe or UPR boost pipe puts it in the fender. As do some other CAI setups. I know it can be pusing the length of the wiring. Just gives you a good excuse to get a Pro-M maf specifying fender mounting which will get you the proper wiring lengths.

    Fuel pump location

    Run the car down real low on gas first. Save some weight.

    Vortech with smog eliminator?

    I am running a Novi 1000 with the UPR smog pump & a/c eliminator pulleys. Everything bolts up just fine, both in n/a form and with the s/c installed.

    Beware of this potential scammer: jaques mice - [email protected]

    Long story short, this guy started out kind of shady and refused to answer some relevant questions (his mailing address, his stangnet username since he found the ad in our classifieds), along with his trying to harass me into selling him the gears...not to mention his "shipping agent"...makes...

    how much boost for a stock 5.0?

    A t-rex or "boost a pump" external pump would generally be added to a stock setup. If you do a drop in replacement, an external add-on would not be necessary. You'll get all kinds of answers as to how much boost. 9/10lb on stock bottom end without a rebuild or reinforcing seems to be a...

    Header wrap pics.

    Looks like you did a nice job. How much did the materials cost and how long did it take you? As for the rust comment, that makes sense. Even "stainless" steel will rust though. Best method would be ceramic coating. Based on prices I have seen on that though (i.e. having your headers coated...

    Hey buddy. Yeah, that is what I figured you would say! I may have some questions for you in a bit, but I'll let you know. BTW, I like the new site design at RNH!

    Need some opinions (of the technical type) on my setup and options

    Eh screw it. The more I've thought about it today, the more I realize I won't be happy with the low power without the s/c. So, I may sell some of the random components, but what I need to do is just get off my ass and get the 'stang running solid again, whatever it takes...and hope it takes...

    Need some opinions (of the technical type) on my setup and options

    Alright, some may recall I installed a Paxton Novi 1000 supercharger setup. A lot of various problems followed, not directly caused by the s/c but from the install process, etc. At this point, due to financial concerns and generally not being happy with the setup, I am thinking of selling...
