    stupid tire question

    Eww. Mustang with the same size tires.... Who does that? :D Its not cheaper, it just delays the action of buying a set of tires. Replacing 4 tires every 12 months is NOT cheaper than replacing 2 tires every 6 months. Also, if you do it your way, when you rotate them, you will have bald...

    With all this turbo talk... insight needed.

    Those kits have knock off brand turbo's also sold by a place called SS auto chrome. The are NOT ballanced. They will die in minutes. They also use non standard size bearings and shafts, so rebuilding them is impossible. You will spend $600 for a t-70 turbo. (proper size for 4.6) Remember you...

    stupid tire question

    255 front 275/40 rear. they are fine. bulge depends on brand. Fuzion ZRI's bulge 0.25" on each side. Kuhmo escta MX's bulge 0.45" on each side. Both look really sweet. 275's up front on stock rim will cause more understeer due to tire flex. Personally, I would stay with a "good" 245/45/17 front...

    HOLY ***** trickflow finally got a 4.6L intake out on the market!!!

    Its in the new summit catalog, but not on their website yet, or on trick flow's. Here's what it says: Trick Flow's track heat 4.6L 2V SOHC intake improves performance in the heart of your 99-04 GT's powerband: 1,500-6,500rpm or 1,500-7,200rpm with ported heads. The cast aluminum intake...

    Trans is done. Need help

    try other dealers after you take your shifter off. Ford communicates with other dealerships about as good as they do their customer service....

    Max 4.6 while maintain Boost Cap.

    if you have a running stock motor now, do the supercharger first. AIf you are going to spend the $$ on building a blower motor, you need to break it in right... and that requires boost. You may even decide not to crack into the engine after all. 450rwhp is enough for most people. As for me...

    twin turbo vs. single turbo / is it that difficult to fab your own kit ?

    twins spool no faster than a single due to todays advances in bearings and lightweight materials. I suggest single turbo up till about 800HP, then it is just unefficiend to run a single huge turbo past that (unless you want to drop mad cash for some custom stuff.) Fab work isn't hard if...

    2V head vs. 7500 rpm

    Here's a what if: Take a 2V head with stainless valves, aftermarket springs and retainers, and say a stage 2 blower cam... What else would I need to do if anything to make this head flow and keep making power past 7K RPM? Mild port (basically clean up castings and unshroud valves a...

    03 cobra bumper issues

    the front of your hood may hit the bumper. The bumpers tend to stick out a little more. Not all do it.

    Blew 5th gear

    Yes, electronic speed sensor. All you would need is the tranny I sent you in the link. There are no additional parts required. Hope Ford takes car of you though... They have screwed me a few times, hope your luck is better.

    13" Rear brake upgrade. Did I just imagine this kit?

    "What don't you get? The braking capabilities in a mustang are on par for racing set-ups, the braking force is applied to almost 85% to the front of the car ALREADY due to overweight in the front , the only thing you can do upgrade the front brakes to something of a 4 or 6 piston and get...

    Bypass Valve??

    Will not work with FMIC and 3" piping. See your other post with the same question... I discussed why and gave you a link to the proper unit.

    intercooler ??

    My power level is in my sig. I get 0.5 psi drop. That valve will suck. You will get compressor surge like mad. car will NOT BE DRIVABLE!!! You need AT LEAST a 35mm BOV/bypass valve. They are the same thing. You will be looking at about $250 for the right valve. Either the vortech race...
