    GT Headlights...oncoming traffic.

    Gotta agree with fasterthanthem. See attached chart. 12k is purple like Barney.

    GT500 Blower

    I tried doing some research into this a while back when I first got my S197, but yielded little results. If you do make it work, please let us know. I know you can pick up those stock GT500 superchargers for dirt cheap. If you can find a way to get it to fit on the 4.6L, I know I'd be interested...

    Are there disadvantages to rim sizes?

    20" inch wheels increase rotational mass and size and therefore kills acceleration and fuel mileage. As far hitting potholes and curbs: it all depends on the tire size you run. You don't HAVE to run 30 series tires on S197's just because they have 20's. I have 20's on my car, and I'm running...

    Wheel Hop??

    I did my UCA and LCa's at the same time; wheel hop disappeared entirely. I've heard the replacing the lowers will eliminate most of it, but I did both while I was down there. One of the best, cheapest, and most easily installed mods I've done to date. I can actually enjoy burn-outs since I did it.

    cai question

    You'll be happy! I was skeptical about the HP claims, too; then I got mine! Just make sure whatever CAI you buy is one that requires a tune. The CAI's that go on with no tune required won't give you half the results as one that does.

    New Guy, New Car, Tell me what you think.

    I agree with the above post: 50-60 rwhp. However, if it isn't too late, I would drop the Motive gears and get original FMS gears. The price difference is next to nothing, and I've heard that Motive gears tend to be noisier than the original Ford parts. Since you are going with a size that...

    billet cup holder trim

    I have the same one as kooldawg6, but mine is shiny. What I did, I never used the tape to hold it down. That way, if I have large cup that doesn't fit through the holes, I just remove it, use the cupholder, and put it back when I'm done. It only takes a few seconds, and the piece does make the...

    GT Headlights...oncoming traffic.

    02GTRX: Before I did the GT500 front end conversion on my car, I had the same issue as you. I had a cop flash his lights at me, and I was going to hit him with the high-beams, but I just gotten my car and fumbled with the switch, so I didn't get to in time. Sure enough, he turned around, and...
