    cams

    Why aren't they? Do they throw a code and if so, can't the code be tuned out? If they passed emissions with the comp cams making 80 hp, I don't see why the hot rod cams wouldn't pass, the hot rod cams doesn't even need springs. On the newer cars here in ohio, they check for engine codes. If...

    FRPP Hot Rod Cams Installed

    I'm not claiming to be a rocket scientist, but going by what I've read. In the article, JDM cliams by having the phase limiters, it allows the cams to work with in the priameters of the cvt. The cvt helps with lowend and midrange, with the cams working with the cvt allows the car to keep it's...

    Camaro owners.......

    The only thing toyota has done for us is put americans out of work. Toyota has done nothing to keep prices down as thier prices are inflated compared to ours. Sure they have built some factories over here and created some jobs for a few which doesn't come close to equaling the jobs they have...

    Get more power out of S&B intake

    I read it just fine, were not refering to the resticter, I'm refering to how well does the spctra filter the air. You missing the whole point, which is some filters do a better job of filtering than do others. At the same time some filters flow better than others. The point being, using a good...

    cams

    Yep, the new ford hot rod cams should be. also JDM Engineering made 401 rwhp on a 298 3 valve stroker using the new comp cams with phase limiter and the car passed emissions for a street legal package. Your good as long as your not throwing codes. New cams may have to be tuned to work properly...

    It's not that toyota has a race car or anything, it's these kids with a barrel for a muffler and a 10 foot tall wing on the back think yoda is God's gift to the world. Even in the older circles, guy's are saying yoda trucks are the best or I wish ford would build a car as good as yoda and so on...

    FRPP Hot Rod Cams Installed

    We are finally getting some good cams for our cars. The ford hot rod cams were good for 30 hp on stock heads and up to 60 hp on ported heads, that was the release info. Comp cams also has a new series of cams for the 3 valve that can deliever as much as 80 hp on ported heads, but some of the...

    Get more power out of S&B intake

    I tend to worry when messing with filters that flow that well. As with K&N, they flow extremely well. However in independant testing, K&N does a crappy job of filtering. The whole purpose of a filter is to feed clean air into the engine. A couple more hp isn;t worth long term engine damage. I'm...

    opinions on t-birds

    I would love to have a black 88 turbo coupe. I would swap out the 4 banger for a 302 or 351. The turbo 4's are cool and all, but you can't get the sound from them like you can from a V-8. A turbo coupe with a 5-speed and an FI 302 would be awesome. Actually, that sounds like a good project. A...

    Camaro owners.......

    Your a better man than me. I would be all *******s and elbow I would be shifting so fast. The 2 cars I can't stand, are chevy and toyota and won't take crap from either. A dodge or something wouldn't excit me much, but those chevy's and yoda's have to go down hee hee.

    What is it with civic owners???

    The civic si's have no lowend torque, it's all on top, They make like 200 hp at 6000 rpm's, but only 136 pounds of torque. My numbers aren't exact, but close to that. You would destory him from a dead stop. The only chance he would have would be a rolling start and that isn't much of a chance...

    FORD has 8.7 billion dollar loss!

    They dropped the 3.0 in the ranger because the new duratec 2.5 has 171 hp and 171 foot pounds, so they don't need the 3.0 when you have a 4 cylinder that good. I never heard such pissing in ones corn flakes. Ford makes one of the best cars on the road and they don't have to take a back seat to...

    400 HP AT THE WHEELS ALL MOTOR,"YES"!!

    I don't know for sure if it was the latest edition, I didn't look at the date on the mag. The mag just looked in good shape to be too old and it had a silver shelby gt 500 kr on the cover. I heard the boss 6.2 won't make it into the mustang either, I heard a 5.8 version of it will. There's so...

    400 HP AT THE WHEELS ALL MOTOR,"YES"!!

MT even said there will be a new 5.0 for the stang a long with the ecoboost V-6 and a varrant of...

    Getting rid of the big ass

    I couldn't stand the look of the sn-95's, they looked like they were carved from a block of soap or something. I started to buy a new GT back in 2000, but decided to wait. Now I'm glad I did, I love the retro look of the new stangs. I have to look twice to tell if it's old or new. Now I just...

    Anyone Leasing Their Mustang?

    The 09's are allready out, I saw an 09 black GT with the new roof at my dealer yesterday when I was getting the oil changed in the fusion. They also had some 09 escapes with the new 2.5 duratec 4 cylinder, it now has 171 hp and 171 foot pounds. Not bad for a 4 banger.

    opinions on t-birds

    Yeah, I didn't remember for sure when the super coupe run ended or even what year the t-bird ended. I knew it was around 96 or 97, some where around there. Thats the funny thing about getting old, it seems like yesterday you could buy a new super coupe, in reality, it's been over 10 years, "boy"...

    Hertz Rental

    If I may retort, I don't know what the deal is with your rental unless it's a chevy with mustang badging, cause I have an 07 GT. It's one of the most solidly built cars I have owned. It's way better than the 2000 GT I drove for awhile. It plants it's feet in the curves and it's built so well...

    400 HP AT THE WHEELS ALL MOTOR,"YES"!!

    That is so true, ford has done an awesome job with the 4.6 3 valve mod motor. It's quite an acheivement to get 300 hp and 320 foot pounds from only a 281 CID engine thats being mass produced in a street car that passes emissions. Now we have some engine builders are close to getting 400 hp from...
