    Finally, 1st Ride in Car after installing the O/R H-Pipe

    +1 Everything I've heard is resonators do wonders to get rid of trumpeting and drone. Dan

    Comp Cams 127500 Cams with Blow By Racing Lockouts

    kinda sounds like a diesel to me... Cams sound ok, but I don't care for the exhaust. Dan

    Am I missing anything?

    Looks pretty good. I would get a set of brake ducts, the stock brakes won't like the track very much, even with the upgraded pads/rotors... Dan

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

    Fair enough, I still wouldn't want my car that way, but fair enough. A major part of the reason the LS1 makes more power is largely due to the extra displacement. They are excellent engines, I'm fairly partial to them myself, but a lot of the reason they make the power they do is because of...

    2005 GT won't run

    When is the last time you changed the fuel filter? Supposedly those need to be changed fairly often. Dan

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

    There isn't much relation between the LS1 and mod motors. A 346 LS1 doesn't have to worry about low end torque near as much as a 281 mod motor. I don't really feel like turning my mustang into a ricer, having no power bellow 4k RPM. If I was making a race motor I wouldn't gripe about it, but...

    2005 GT won't run

    I dunno what to tell you. My guesses would be fouled plugs, fouled injectors, or a blown gasket, none of which sound obvious. My first guess would have been bad MAF, but you said you inspected it and it looks fine. Dan

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

    On these motors it is a feat to get 525hp safely, That's our stock rod... FYI, the stock 3v head flows around 240CFM, ported heads can be over 300 CFM (supposedly Livernois has ported a set to 350+ CFM). Yeah, 65 ci difference, thats 23% bigger, a **** ton. Like I said, I think 400RWHP on a...

    messin with tire sizes..

    I don't think so, it would just show you going slower faster than you actually are. Dan

    I hate my pypes...

    Ok, so my temporary solution was to put the stock mufflers back on... After the M-80s :D It's really quiet now and sounds pretty good but is a bit too quiet. I basically did this as a proof of concept to show that I could hook up an axle back kit to my pypes system, I can, so I'm thinking I'll...

    Need advice. Long tube headers no cats...but want quiet.

    I'll try to get a video at some point. My friend has an HD video camera, but he still hasn't loaded the video we took from when I first put on the pypes (like 6 months ago). Dan

    H-pipes Bullitt vs GT

    I have to agree with this. I bought LTs and went with an O/R H, and I'm spending way too much money to get it the way I want. Proven mods, like suspension or bigger wheels and tires, will make you faster without all this pain. Of course, the perfect exhaust gets me going every time I turn the...

    messin with tire sizes..

    You can set the revolutions per mile in a hand held tuner. The only time the computer will know is if the tires are different heights, but I believe it has to be a somewhat dramatic difference to really have an impact. Dan

    WATs the true STOCK 1/4 ET??

    You may be disappointed by the mustangs suspension, coming from a G35. I drove my friends 350z, I don't know what the differences between it and the G35 but it made my mustang feel like an F-150. Just something to think about, you'd have to drop a few grand on the mustang to make it drive like a...

    Need advice. Long tube headers no cats...but want quiet.

    I have the OBX LT and O/R H. When I first put them on I used the stock mufflers, it was relatively quiet, but not stock quiet. Quiet at idle and putting around, but once it got above about 2800 or WOT it would get raspy and trumpety and fairly loud, though no drone and not too loud. I went...

    Need advice. Long tube headers no cats...but want quiet.

    Stock mufflers with no cats sounds very raspy and trumpety. FWIW, I have the pypes MM system, which with the LT and no cats is REALLY loud (too loud, bad for my hearing). So I took off the muffler delete pipes and threw on the stock mufflers, the car is now VERY quiet, stock quiet, though it...

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

    Apples to oranges. Yes, NA is fun, I very well may stay NA (I think 400 rwhp is possible on the stock block). But don't compare the ls1 to the mod motor. 1.1L advantage makes all the difference. The only way to get more power, beyond a point, is with more displacement, more compression, or more...

    I think all 4 of my wheels are done...

    If you get new wheels you might want to keep the old wheels as your "winter" wheels... Dan
