    Mark VIII Motor

    Over the winter I really want to work on something, either the engine in my GT or build up something else. I have just purchased a Lincoln Mark VIII (93 or 94 I think, got it for really cheap), the car is trash but the engine runs and is in great shape, I think it has around 113k miles on it...

    Finally Lowered

    Finally lowered the car, went with some cheap maxspeed lowering springs off of ebay for now. Installed them in a family owned garage with my dad and grandfather, and it took less than 2 hours. It's good to attempt mods with people who know what they are doing, so I was pretty happy about that...

    BamaChips On Vacation?

    So 2 fridays ago (June 27th) at around 6:00PM (obviously closed) I placed an order with BamaChips for an Xcal 2 for my 98' GT Automatic with 3 tunes. I didn't hear anything the next Monday or Tuesday, so I shot Doug (I think that's his name) an email on Wensday I believe, and still didn't get a...

    Hey guys, Used to be a regular on the site, however I got a motorcycle liscense at the end of last summer and... well, that was the end of that :rlaugh: However, it's almost summer, and a motorcycle is just not practical for everything, so I'm getting the stang back in shape. It's a 98 gt...

    1998 GT VS 2003-2004 GT

    Well I wanted the chance to go toe-to-toe with a nearly stockish new edge stang, and last night I got my chance. Just in case you need to know, I live/work in mexico, so all of the driving was done there, and every single street in the section I live in is a clear, racing sanctioned quarter mile...

    Going for 14's

    I know, I know, not that impressive of a feat at all, but I'm looking to get to low 14's by the end of the summer, maybe a 14.3 or 14.4. I'm working with a 98, NPI, automatic GT, so I think low 14's would be decent for now. The mods I have right now are 3.73's, k&n intake, mac o/r h, flowmaster...

    Attention: People Who Want To Do The PI Intake Swap

    Here is some advice: if you are like myself (not a mechanic by any means), you can not (read: can not, unable, not able) do the swap yourself. If you have done the swap, congratulations, but most non-mechanic people still won't be able to. I'm not here to give anybody fake advice or anything...

    Green Mustang w/ Polished Aluminum Rims?

    I ordered some brushed aluminum 03' cobras about 3 weeks ago, and after a couple weeks of backorders the company decided to upgrade me to polished aluminum, which they said 2 weeks max on. The thing is, I don't know how good they will look on a green mustang like mine. Do they look like chrome...

    PI Intake Progress

    Out with the old, in with the new: It's in the car, a 98 gt, and bolted up. I plan on hooking up everything tomorrow, and giving it a test drive. That would be day three of the installation, it's taking a little more time than expected :D Hopefully the top end pull will be worth it.

    So a couple of days ago this kid I know in town who got a 95' about a year ago, well before I got mine, pulls into the local hangout spot and tells me to check out what he has in his backseat. Guess what... paxton supercharger. Tells me he's getting it installed tomorrow and tuned. Jealousy...

    WOT / OD 4r70w

    I've heard that shifting from 3-od in the auto screws up OD, because of the sudden surge of power destroying the bands. I have been searching around the forums, and just have a couple quick questions: 1) Say I was pushing around 400 rwhp; I wind out third gear, left off the gas for an easy...
