    Auction Bought Cobra - Running Very Poorly

    I’d assume with all of those issues that the car has been sitting for a while. Assuming the motor is in good shape it is probably a fuel, ignition, or engine control system issue. Simple things first- 1) clean your air filter (or replace it) 2) change out the fuel filter (pour out the tank...

    Need Advice (validation) On Upcoming Project.

    Stock motor will support your 400rwhp goal if budget is a concern. I wouldnt be scared of the mileage in the 100k range if the car is well maintained. My car has a stock shortblock and weighs 3300lbs full weight - giving it a hp and weight advantage over the vast majority of N/A bolton new...

    325lph

    The problem is likely in the tune. Your turbo setup is too far beyond stock.......mail tunes are a bad choice. Bama’s Own site has this disclaimer: “Heavily modified cars are not tunable with a mail order tune.” Not being able to tune for 42lb injectors is a huge warning sign that you are...

    Bullitt Suspension Build Expectation

    I would redo the exhaust piping before I would make any changes to the sway bar. Any good muffler shop should be able to do it with no more then 1-2 hours of labor. The other option is to get a different brand of sway bar. For your subframes - definitely go full length. “Regular” length is...

    Bullitt Suspension Build Expectation

    Yep- write down the numbers you want them to set it to and have them print you off what they were able to get it to (it is tough to get it dead on - the numbers should be very close). This way you know what those settings feel like (in case one day you want to start pushing the envelope towards...

    Bullitt Suspension Build Expectation

    Now that you are done - I’d use the MM alignment recommendations (page 5 has all the discussion): http://www.maximummotorsports.com/assets/install/pdf/front_susp/MMCC9994v4r8.pdf I had to be specific with the alignment numbers (the allowable range can be sloppy) I have mine set for (right...

    Bullitt Suspension Build Expectation

    Borla stinger. Had the PHB installed - driver side cat back went back on just fine with plenty of clearance. Passenger side....... had to drive straight to a muffler shop. Right after the “over the axle” loop the exhaust directed exactly where the PHB goes. The muffler guys laughed but then...

    Bullitt Suspension Build Expectation

    My borla catback is a good 6” away from the rear sway bar. See if you by adjusting the pipes going over the axel to see if a minor change in angle can make some space. Worst case a muffler shop can re-route them.

    Bullitt Suspension Build Expectation

    I agree - Straight line and street driving the 4 link does very well for most people. MM measures out up to 2” of lateral movement in the rear suspension because of those angled upper arms (this is when you are driving it hard / maxing suspension travel). Most people aren’t pushing it that...

    Bullitt Suspension Build Expectation

    +1 to full length subframe connectors. Panhard bar is definately worth it - eliminating the side to side slop definately keeps the rear end much more predictable on turns. The factory even went with a panhard bar setup starting in 05’ - way better (several years ago there was a stock coyote...

    Do Gears Improve Acceleration?

    does it improve acceleration- it depends on what type of performance measure you are looking at. The gears have to be matched to your application (what event are you trying to do the best at). As an example- Accelerating to 60mph is a common measure so most manufacturers set up the diff gear...

    Progress Thread Dsg Mach's Mustang

    Put a blower on it and daily drive it. Win win. :banana: I daily drive mine. Doesn’t make sense to me to spend a bunch of money on a car to look at it. :cool: spend the money on the car instead of other things. I drive slower when it rains -it’s not a big deal, it is what you should do when...

    Do All 3650's Shift Slow??

    The tr3650 should be shifting as fast as you can. The stock quadrant has a self adjust feature that might need some resetting. See your owners manual or any shop manual to give this a try and see if it makes things better. Otherwise - when you are buying parts for your new clutch - you can...

    Build Or Crate

    At 69,000 miles your engine is likely in excellent shape. The stock motor with forced induction is good till 400rwhp with a good tune. When considering “bang for buck” - There is no need to rebuild your motor unless you have a major mechanical issue. That much power from a stroker kit on a...

    Cylinder Heads

    +1. Had the same experience. These cars love boost. These cars are easy to work on. Find a reputable local tuner that is familiar with mustangs. Go ask them what tuner device they prefer and the best way to get your car to them. Take your time and read the install instructions. The...

    Cylinder Heads

    Absolutely. There are tons of options that fit under the stock hood - ProCharger p-1sc, vortech V3, Kenny Bell 2.1L, etc. More hood space usually becomes an issue for large air intake manifolds or large top mount super chargers.

    Wheel And Tire Reccomendations

    +1 on NT05’s. They wear quicker then average but offer excellent grip at a good price point. If you increase your wheel size from 17” to 18” expect to pay more for quality tires that fit 18” rims. Not usually a deal breaker but something to compare. Example 275/40/17 = $165 each...

    Progress Thread Hello All! Just Picked Up A 2002 Gt

    Keep your current K&N intake. If you are looking at throttle bodies / plenum I would go for a 75mm. 75mm will give you a smidge more power then 70mm without needing a tune. Bolt on upgrades are easy but when you add up the receipts you spend a ton of money for small gains in horsepower -...

    Their install instructions recommend offsets as “needed items” but doesn’t mention why: http://www.teamzmotorsports.net/v/Team_Z_Motorsports-K-Member.pdf On several websites it lists the offset bushings for a number space related concerns...
