    coil over questions (need options)

    You can't beat the MM quality. Your need for adjustable shocks will depend on what you intend to do with the car. Street use with the occasional AutoX or OT event will not require adjustables. A track whore would probably benefit tremendously. The people at MM should be able to set you up...

    Steeda pullies

    I want to help, but you are still too vague. Is your problem with the BOLT or the BALANCER? Those are two different problems. If the bolt won't break loose, say so. If the bolt is out, but the puller won't break the balancer loose, say so. I don't know what that means.

    The LTs and X-pipe are prob. worth ~$800 new. Alum D/S is ~150 new. Nitrous and cam prices vary based on manufacturer and options.

    need some help please quick !!!

    If you needed someone on an internet forum to tell you that one possible way of obtaining your desired information is to get a tape measure and do it yourself... I don't think we are going to be able to help you enough. As a constructive criticism, I would note in the future that you could...

    My Book Review of Sean Hylands "How to Build.. a 4.6L"

    This book ought to be required reading if you are going to be serious about learning about late model Mustangs.

    Steeda pullies

    Need more detail when you ask for help. Is the crank bolt out or in? Are you having a problem with the balancer puller? Give us a little more info to deal with.

    2V Power Curve / Tradeoffs

    Cudda- I would like you to respond to my thread instead of trying to win a pissing contest. I agreed with your premise, and I gave you an explanation. Instead of trying to show how big your capacity for argument is, you ought to be responding to my explanation of WHY you see WHAT it is that you...

    Got the O.K.

    Congrats on the decision. I agree that 5k is more than sufficient for a number of different options. My only advice is that you lay out a sane plan-of-attack and then stick with it. A lot of people get a hit off of that hi-horsepower pipe and then keep tossing money at the car until they break...

    OCTANE QUESTION

    You lose. You only need 87. Ford cars requiring higher octanes will say "Premium Fuel Required' instead of 'Unleaded Fuel Only' on the dash. Higher octane will help stop pinging, but your car should be OK on 87.

    Aluminum DOHC into 2000GT?

    Jesus Christ.... Is this the level of tech that we are bringing to the forum these days? I'm about to bag this account and start staking out some other places to post if things don't improve around here. Yesterday I have to read about 'SEVERLY SHORTENING THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR GEARS' and today...

    Aluminum DOHC into 2000GT?

    Trouble is mostly in getting all the little parts and pieces, and in some wiring. A lot of people do it. Its an engine swap, but an easy one as engine swaps go. Performance gain? Well, that would depend on which engine you choose to drop in. A stock 96-98 engine will pick up 45 hp over a...

    Can someone explain to me how my car is still alive after 2-->1 shift???

    Rev-limiters are great (unless you run dry nitrous and touch them), but remember that a rev-limiter will not save you from a downshift at high speed. Mechanical over-revving can occur no matter what the computer desires to do.

    Can someone explain to me how my car is still alive after 2-->1 shift???

    You could have saved some time by simply typing "I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CARS SO IGNORE THIS POST." The fear in a situation like this isn't "weakening the gears VERY badly". That doesn't make sense. The gears don't have a defined lifespan. If they are not abused day in an day out, are well...

    Anybody have the KB SC on their 99+ GT?

    If you did a quick search, you would find a dozen or more threads relating to exactly this topic with pics already posted. That would be a bit easier than asking people to replicate posts that have already been made. :nice:

    RAM AIR?

    March makes one that is plastic and sells for about $150. Its a turd. I wouldn't get too excited about ram air beyond the bling and the chance to tell people who don't know how crappy ram air is that 'I've got ram air'.

    Dimmer switch wire?

    You need to get a digital multimeter and simply find it yourself. I have mine hooked to that wire, but I wouldn't want you cutting up your harness based on a color combo that may change from year to year. Spend the $15 for a Radio Shack model voltmeter and be sure that way.

    2V Power Curve / Tradeoffs

    For starters, lets look at a typical 2V dyno. I will use my old sheet from the 99 GT I used to own. The car was near stock with pulleys, T/A, and some weld-in Flows. Click the thumbnail for a full-size pic... I don't want to blow anyone's monitor with a huge pic, but this will be...

    Need help which Cobra to get 94-95 or 96-98

    Sorry 94-95 guys, but this is a no-brainer. One of my good friends at work has a Rio Red 95, and he regrets not going with a modular for good reason. The car has a significant number of bolt ons. Mac LT headers, Prochamber, Dynomax catback, MSD 6AL, C&L 77mm MAF, BBK CAI, MAC underdrive pulleys...

    Clear Cover On Gauge Pod Removal

    There should be 10 or so screws that are holding the cover to the gauge cluster? You will need a Torx bit (T-15, IIRC) in order to remove them.
