    Should I trade my Chrome 03 Cobra's for Saleens?

    Alright, I've decided to make the swap. I have been looking at the deep dish 03 Cobra's anyway, so what I might do is pick up a set of those as well in the future and run 2 sets depending on the day. Appreciate the input, gentlemen, you always make my decisions a little easier

    To pulley or not to pulley

    All it does is free up parasitic losses. To be honest, I wouldn't touch pulleys until you're trying to squeak the last few hp out of your combination You want cheap go fast stuff, buy gears.

    Should I trade my Chrome 03 Cobra's for Saleens?

    LOL The banner will never see the streets again, I've just been too lazy to go hairdryer it off the window That club is long defunct, i hate even looking at it These Saleens are running 245's on the front and 315's on the back, he says. I'm pretty sure I won't need spacers with these...

    Should I trade my Chrome 03 Cobra's for Saleens?

    Yeah, I mean...I really love my 03 Cobras, but....with the black and grey combo, I think the gunmetal wheels could really give it a nice sinister look. I'm really torn on this idea....

    1st Drive of the year!!

    Now you wonder how I'll feel after I've had the car off the road for 3 years. In that time, I've driven a V6 ranger and a 4.6L f150. I forget what power feels like.... Congrats man! I'm jealous

    WIDE TIRES....Is there a SAFE way to run wheel spacers???

    I think that will depend upon the make of the tire. The 315's most people run on 9 inch rims are Nitto's which run narrower than MT's and other brands. What brand are you looking at? Check out the search function, I know I've seen other cars running 345's, they might be able to help you.

    WIDE TIRES....Is there a SAFE way to run wheel spacers???

    I used to use 1 inch hubcentric spacers on my 95GT with no problems. Make sure they're hubcentric and you should be fine.... If you intend on running 345's, prepare to swap the quad shocks, massage the fender lip, and with something that big, other problems could still exist. Cheers,

    For all the people wondering about targa tops....

    Could be easier to brace the frame temporarily, cut the roof, then install the cage. I have an 8pt, and I have NO idea how to go about putting it in the car lol

    For all the people wondering about targa tops....

    I think we've all looked into it at some point, but the negatives just outweigh the positives. But all the luck to you, I'd love to see it done on one of the cars on this board. The picture in the ad, that guy got into a few mags due to that Targa top set up

    For all the people wondering about targa tops....

    IIRC it was JMS that used to make this kit. They had a few little idea's that did ok, but not enough to keep the company afloat. The "instructions" given, also stated that this SHOULD be done by an automotive body shop because doing it yourself could turn out horribly. Excellent idea in...

    300hp V6! 30MPG!!!

    I think it's amazing, to be honest. Cudo's to Ford for pushing the envelope a bit further Hell, if I get beat up by an '11 V6, I'm not complaining, Ford is advancing at a pace right now that would make any Mustang owner proud regardless of what size engine's are doing the work Go Ford!

    Max power with stock GT cam?

    Point to note: Earlier, I sarcastically mentioned that the internet never lies. It caused some confusion. To clarify, that was sarcasm. Now, that link I mentioned from work, although I've noticed the hp numbers are at the fly, it still makes a point Ford 302 V8 Engine Buildup- Car Craft...
