    Well its time for some new wheels

    I like this man's thinking :nice: . Not to mention, you'll get some of that lost performance back switching from those freaking heavy wheels..... I haven't seen 1 other Mustang in my area with the BBS wheels, and it's a nice change from the same ol'...

    blew up my engine

    oh and since you'll be throwing an new engine, might as well do a few upgrades such as the head cooling mod: Why the cooling system mod is imporant... - Modular Depot Forums Moroso oil pan, headers, cams, k-member, etc or whatever you have the funds to allow since all that will already be torn...

    blew up my engine

    All really depends on your budget. You could piece together a forged motor for what you can buy new 99-04 4v's (lumping Cobra and Mach's together). With the Mach I's, you have to make sure you get a motor that had the 3650 attached or you won't get the forged crank amongst other goodies. Here...

    Reliability of Vortech kits for daily driver

    Yea in that heat any tune is going to absolutely kill timing and dump fuel to prevent pre-detonation. For sure add in a cost of an i/c. During the summer months, I can for sure tell a huge difference how the car is behaving just in our typical 100* weather, but for me I don't care b/c I have...

    Need New Motor - Opinions

    36lb limit is 390 last I heard from Tim at MPH. Also 450rwhp on a set up like that means the T-45 will be your time bomb. My T-45 at 380rwhp street tired only is starting to whine and on it's way out as it is....

    Gears + Supercharger

    3.73's are the way to go unless you are planning on running more power in the future so planning ahead is always wise, but at the same time be truthful as well. If you are gonna stay in the normal power range (8-10pis) you'll be fine with 3.73's and won't be running out of gear at the end of...

    What would you do with....

    lots of used centri's kits out there on the MPH site you can look to pick up and with Tim's tune, you'll be safe to go for a while. I'm at 45k blown miles and still going strong........ PS: Boost is FUN!!!!!!!

    Will i notice a traction difference i switch from 17x9's to 17x10's

    Kind hard to make a fair comparison traction-wise between Fusion which is a 320 tread rating to a considerably wider KD with a 200 tread rating. For sure you should have noticed a difference, but he is talking about staying with the same type of tire he had in the 275 size.... prob not going to...

    Will i notice a traction difference i switch from 17x9's to 17x10's

    You would also have to take into consideration that the wheel is going to be heavier than what you come from, so even though you may gain traction (which I doubt), you'll be adding rotating mass to the car which means all else being equal you might run a bit slower (depending on how much...

    Time to Step it up.

    Yea, he will take you pretty easily especially with the times you have in your sig. At this point, nothing you can really do about it unless you out launch him and stay ahead for the rest of the race. Just get a blower and stay around 400rwhp and you'll be good for a long time to come in...

    03 cobra or supercharged GT?

    Same here. I feel that my car is pretty slow and want to do something more. Personally I would stick with the GT on strictly a financial decision, but in reality I would want to get the Cobra. I keep thinking of the list I would require if I was to get some serious power out of the car...

    Need some help on t-45 to 3650 swap.

    So it seems that the t-45 in car is finally on its way out. A buddy of mine has a rebuilt 3650 sitting around that he decided not to put in his car due to him upgrading to a TKO unit. I was wondering what it would require/take to do the swap as in new driveshaft, shifter, etc. Also, what...

    What should idle RPM be?

    Check the bolt for your tb stop. It could be out of adjustment causing the higher than normal idle.
