    Capacitors

    You need a 1 or 1.5 farad Cap if you are going to get one. I'm running one 1 farad and one 1.5 farad for my amps and they work great for the power 500RMS and 825RMS respectively. Dirty little industry secret for you all: There are only 2 or 3 manufacturers of these things worldwide and...

    q logic kick panels

    They are okay in quality. The biggest problem with them is that people's legs and feet block a good deal of the sound coming out of them, so you don't really hear them as well as you could. I far prefer using the factory mounting locations or fabricating something higher up in the door for...

    What amp for 3 mtx 10"?

    There is an awefull lot to explain here so I'll try to give you the basics: You need to figure out what the RMS power rating is on your subs. I'm guessing that if they are rated at 500w MAX then they are probably running in the 300w RMS range. Once you've figured that out you need to find...

    fiberglass vs. urethane?

    If you've ever looked at some of the ricer body kits that have been driven around for a while you'll notice that they are cracked/chipped on the bottoms of the skirts and front facia. That is the fiberglass. If you are going to do fiberglass only do it for upper body parts (hoods, hatches...

    Rocksford Fosgate Amps

    If you are going to go with Rockford I would go with their Power series, not the Punch series. I think that the JBL 600.1 would work better for you than the Rockford you were looking at, but if you bumped it up to the Power series I would go with that over the JBL. You usually want about...

    Lowering springs

    You don't NEED all of that stuff. If all you are interested in is fixing the looks you can just get the springs...just make sure to get your alignment done at the same time otherwise your tire-wear will be uneven and your toe might get dangerously out of line during the install process.

    seats

    For the record I'm not talking about covers like you buy at kragen...I'm talking about covers exactly like the ones that come stock that cover the seat shells..

    seats

    You can buy rear seat covers for the vert and just switch those covers for the stock ones...it's a lot cheaper than getting all new seats. There are a lot of companies that make leather covers in a lot of different colors and quality levels for specific applications, a lot of them will even do...

    I've been in, driven the 2005-Pics

    I got to sit in it at the San Jose International Auto Show this last year and the shifter position was more comfortable than in my 2000, at least for me...it's still not as good as a Vette or Boxster (my only other recent points of comparison). It would be nice if they brought the center...

    Can I upgrade to a Mach 1000 ???

    For what ford would charge you to upgrade to the Mach1000 you could get a MUCH MUCH better aftermarket system.

    how many inches should i move my spoiler back?

    You're going to have an area with slightly different colored paint if you've owned the car for any extended period of time and/or it has been exposed to the sun.

    Low profile tires on stock 16" rims (???)

    You'll get better skidpad and slolam number with a bigger lighter wheel (to a point 18"s is about as big as you should go on a Mustang and still be gaining performance) and putting wider low profile tires on that than getting thinner tires on smaller wheels. You will notice a HUGE difference...

    98 gt vs 99+ gt

    Those 4.10s should make it just about even. The biggest thing is how would each car hook up, it might come down to rubber (I'm asuming that your suspension and weight profile are stock since you didn't list those). If your suspension and weight profile are not stock you would gain even more of...

    16.1's and a lot of pinging.....

    Why not just go up in injector size by one size? Or get a tune done that increases your fuel flow at WOT? I've never heard of a shop charging $350 for a dyno tune and burn...usually it is more like $150-200, try calling around to other shops to see what they charge.

    Does any one have 4.10's and know the top speed?

    Don't forget that in addition to power, torque, tire size you have the issues of vehicle weight and distribution, aero drag, and suspension. That is the biggest problem with these sites that offer you physics calcualtions...they don't take everything into account. Stop worrying about top...

    Rear Sway Bar

    That sucks. I don't know what you will pay for a stock piece but if you are going to get an aftermarket piece and you don't need the best I would suggest going with Eibach. They are pretty good and relative to others, they are fairly inexpensive.

    Dyno tuning stock ecu?

    How much do they charge for this? Does it make more/less sense than getting a reprogrammable chip from a cost point of view?

    PLEASE ... Give the facts then make it a dam sticky

    Get a programmable chip once you get gears so that you can fix the speedo problem and do an initial tune for the stuff you have on there at the time. You can keep this tune even as you add more bolt-ons, you just won't get as much out of them as you might if you reprogrammed every time you...
