    6th gear and shedding weight

    You are both right. Technology is expensive to develop and maintain, but the days of cheap fuel are gone. Hey, I love power and the easy and cheap way is to just increase the displacement, but the days of big displacement engines are numbered. We will be paying around $5/gallon for gas in the...

    6th gear and shedding weight

    I would love to see a 6 speed tranny as an option to the average GT. As far as the motor, Ford could do so much more with the small 4.6L and save weight as opposed to going to the 5.4L. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a big motor, but take a look at the new BMW M3 (or M5). They...

    HorsePower

    Someone mentioed that they didn't want a grandpa car, but Buick is planning on a new car with a V8 that has around 300Hp and has a 5.7 0-60, didn't say the 1/4 mile time. That is pretty good for a grandpa car.

    HP and TQ curves

    Does anyone know of a site that has a good list of different cars HP and TQ curves, and car weight. I have been looking at a lot of different cars, some sport, some luxery, and some just plain commuter cars. A lot of cars these days are making 250+ HP with just a V6. Even Buick is making a...

    trick to removing the stock cat-back?

    Sure the easy way is to cut it off, but if you want them in one piece than jack your car as high as possible, the higher you can get, the easier it will be. Take off your back wheels to give more wiggle room for you and the pipes. Unbolt the shocks and let the rear end hang down, be careful to...

    Ford racing supercharger

    What are you doing about the computer, did it come with a new one, did it come with a programer to flash your old computer, or are you going to get it tuned after the install?

    Ford racing supercharger

    did I miss it? What year is your car and what are your current mods. I am interested in the same unit, but I am nervous about the lack of the install kit for my 02 stang

    Strut tower brace: MM or Steeda?

    Someone please correct me, but I thought you were suppose to have a STB if you were using coilovers. The theory being that the stock suspension setup (no coilovers) didn't need a STB b/c the strut towers were strong enough, but the coilovers put more load directly on the strut tower brace...

    08' Bullit Mustang

    It will be interesting to see what Ford comes out with. There are a lot of new cars that are not muscle cars and they are coming with nearly 300Hp or around that level, not to mention the GTO and Camaro having more than 300Hp. I have no doubt that Ford will have a few special editions, but I...

    School us on engines...

    Thanks for the responses. So if I wanted to add a supercharger to my car, than which aftermarket head would I want or would I just stay stock. I want a street/strip car, something making under 500rwhp. I have been looking at getting new heads such as MPH stage 2.5 heads or something like...

    School us on engines...

    Hopefully some good tech will come from these questions. OK, now that we have all this info on head flow design for n/a motors, what happens when you have forced induction. Usually there is a big difference when you push air as opposed to pulling air, but I don't have any experience when it...

    welding axle tubes and torque boxes

    I thought the housing was cast, if that is the case, than you will need to heat the housing. Cast metals are hard to weld correctly. Sure, you can lay a weld down, but if you improperly weld cast metal, than it could cause damage. The idea is to evenly heat the cast metal before you weld...

    Acetone?

    The only way Acetone could improve your mileage is by cleaning your fuel system, including injectors or by adding it to your fuel and than tune your car. Acetone is an alcohol which has less energy per gallon than gasoline, but it is a slower burning fuel than gasoline. The way it would...

    Octane Boosters?

    Just like everything else, some work and some don't. The only reason you would need the octane booster is to prevent knocking b/c of either you have changed your timing or compression or maybe you need 93 ocatane and the gas station doesn't have it on hand. I keep a bottle with me for just...

    Want a supercharger, but

    Sorry to hi-jack the thread, but "Gearbanger", are you the guy that has the allen supercharger. I have been looking at that setup and was wondering how you liked it and does the kit come with everything you need. I am thinking about getting the 6 psi kit. Also, did they send you a tune or did...

    Bassani Exhaust

    I have Bassani and my drones bad around 1900-2200 rpms in fifth gear which is around 75 mph for me. It has actually made me slow down when driving on the highway. I have had my system for about 2 years. I would like to get the headers one day, just got to save some money and brace myself for...

    Anyone seen this supercharger?

    Most 99+ people with the FRPP blower make around 300RWHP I think...probably about as quick as my car. Definatly wont stay with the vortec cars though :( What people are using the FRPP blower on 99+ cars. I remember that super long thread about that blower but I haven't heard about anyone...

    kb or allen sc

    If they had a kit for the FRRP blower for a 99+ than I would have gotten one already. That blower is exactly what I am looking for, but I can't buy one and play with getting it to work on my car being as my car is my only car. Oh well, maybe someone will buy one and figure out a parts list for...

    kb or allen sc

    Finally I might have enough money to get a blower. I have been wanting a KB for a couple of years now and I was set on getting one, but I have heard some bad things about their customer service and about their blowers having problems with oil leaks. I read about these problems on stangnet. I...
