    8.8 axle question

    I've heard that the 98 rear end is slightly shorter than the 99+ rear end. Does anyone know how much shorter, and what adverse affects would arise from putting a 98 rear end in a 99 car? Wheel clearance, performance, fit, etc.

    I need pics of Cobra IRS

    I need some up close pics of the rear suspension of 99-03 Cobra's. Specifically, I need to see the clearance between the bottom of the rear shock and the tie rod. Multiple angles would be awesome if possible. Either post it here or e-mail it to [email protected] (under 1mb please)...

    IS 350 RWHP realistic with ???

    Yes. Make sure you get a good tune, and you may want to add a power pipe. I have the steeda one. I made 367rwhp on a Mustang Dyno (~400 on a dynojet) with the following Combo: Vortech S Trim 3.60 pulley (11lbs at 6K rpm when its ~30°F outside) BBK LT/s and OR X Borla 2.25 mufflers...

    Stock 200GT......Sick Of Being Challenged

    3.73 or 4.10 gear, X pipe and cat back exhaust, and an NX wet kit 75 - 100 shot will put you ahead of most other mustangs and LS1's you'll come accross.

    Driving a stick...

    Here is the proper method for driving through a corner: 1. Approach corner going straight 2. Once you reach the braking zone, Brake. Still going straight. 3. Under full braking, heel and toe downshift to the proper gear. Still going straight. 4. Once you have braked and downshifted...

    Driving a stick...

    You've got it backwards. All downshifting should be done WHILE BRAKING while still going straight BEFORE you enter the turn. Once you turn in, you should not be shifting at all, just aiming for the apex then rolling on the throttle on your way out of the corner.

    Driving a stick...

    Who taught you people to drive? What is the point of double clutching a new Mustang? Downshifting through every gear at a stoplight? That is just plain retarded. Use your BRAKES. Stopping/slowing the car is what they are DESIGNED FOR. And double clutching does NOTHING in a modern...

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    The wing is not functional. Even if it were, the only thing that would matter it speed, not whether the car was turning or not. You could measure it by doing exactly what you said. Measure the load on the rear of the cars at speed in a wind tunnel. No need to be at an angle. Wind tunnel...

    How do i P&P my engine

    Engine airflow is more complicated than just "bigger is better." You could make things worse if you don't know what you are doing. You are talking about gasket matching, and that will do NOTHING for you power-wise. Don't bother. Also, even if you port and polish the parts yourself, you'll...

    Installed new front pads only - Spongy pedal ?

    You really should bleed them. And after you've bled them, bleed the mater cylinder. Mine were spongy until I bled the MC.

    new motor vs blower

    A mach 1 motor will cost you much more than $3K once you figure in all the parts that you'll need to make it work, plus labor. If I were you, I'd get a shortblock built with forged internals for $3K and put your SVO goodies on top. Then when you have more money, get a Vortech or Paxton be we...

    How long will the new rerto Stang last???

    The T-bird flopped because it was underpowered, overpriced, and has sloppy ride and handling. NOT because it was retro styled. This mustang will succeed like no other Mustang in recent years. It has styling that can reach a broad range of deemographics as well as a modern chassis and a superb...

    How To Install A Vortech On Tv

    Yup. That's what I did. My shop put the LT's, clutch, and A/C delete on at the same time for no extra charge.

    Has anyone seen a mod where you bypass your airconditioner pulley for more power?

    As others have said, the A/C clutches are disengaged at WOT anyway, so bypassing it won't add any power. The only reason to do it is the weight savings, and I wouldn't even consider it in Texas.

    Light Bar vs. Roll Bar

    I think the light bar LOOKS better than a roll bar, but if he has any interest in racing, obviously get a true roll bar.

    What is the difference between the Vortech Strim and SQ?

    To be honest, I'm not sure what I have. I thought it was an SQ, but its so loud I can't imagine this one being the "super quiet" version. Anyway, it sounds broken at idle, but off idle it quiets down quite a bit and is just a nice quiet whooshing sound. Is there any way to tell S vs. SQ...
