    Cold Air Sensor

    Wouldn't it be counter productive anyway. The reason cooler air gives more power is because....IT IS COOLER AIR!!!! :bang: and thus more dense. also, I was told that the temp sensor is generic and simply is looking for high temps to add fuel at extremely high temps. It cannot add power...

    Afco Intercooler Heat Exchanger

    Afco has a new intercooler out and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. It looks good. http://www.rpmoutlet.com/03cobraheat.htm

    How do they choose their contestants?? I would've liked to see the new Porche #'s.

    03/04 Engine Issues

    I believe it is a new problem so it may be the plugs. Time will tell.

    03/04 Engine Issues

    I am far from an expert auto mechanic, but I am a field engineer for a machine manufacturer doing many repairs in the field. Mechanically, if my pistions experienced enough swell to stop my engine, there would be no way the car would then immediately pull a 150mph run with no problems. I do...

    03/04 Engine Issues

    I was reading another thread and a guy said that the 03/04 suffer from a problem where the aluminum pistons in the motor swell larger than the cast cylinders and end up scraping into the walls and bogging the engine down. The engine just sits there he says, worse on pullied and KB cars. Is...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    Can anyone tell me why this matters? Camaros and Firebirds were fast. Some people like them, most don't. Most people like the Mustang, some don't. These are all factual proven by times and sales #'s. What does it mean. If you like your Camaro, god bless, take care and enjoy it. If...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    This thread has woven it's way into an assinine discussion plotting a healthy selling CURRENT vehicle against an aging lot of hold outs who will carry the torch untill it rusts from beneath them. Bottom line. On any given day any car can beat any other car. It only takes money. You want...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    My Cobra is of the slower nature around here with 455 rwhp. 550 is the norm and there are a few with 600+ on stock internals and a Kenne Belle. I don't think an 03/04 owner is that scared of a cam and a shot when more HP is just a pully away. When the 07 comes out, 600+ rwhp will be the norm...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    Not in sales my freind and that is how you gauge success. It's the package not one element that sells. My God, there are no Mustangs even on the lot by me. The only ones are left over 04 V6's. Even the used ones are selling well. I sure bet Ford wishes they had gone to 350hp to help...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    It takes millions of people to like a car then a good percentage of them to get off there butts and buy one and if you think lots of people liked the looks, you are mistaken. A very very small percentage of people liked the looks so the percentage of buyers was drawn from a smaller pool. 1)...

    05 M3 vs 05 GT

    You couldn't have said it any better. The three valves are a step up but the bottom end is still the same old "glass" affair.

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    You have no arguement here, the 05 is definately a better platform (it had better be). But the the aftermarket has the ability to correct much of the handling problems inherent with the old chassis. Simply put, it is not a giant piece of sh*********t and can be quite a handler with the...

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    He's full of it. Edelbrock subframes, strut tower brace, battle boxes and upper and lower control arms and my 99 GT was as stiff as a board. Neither one of my cars creaked or rattled either. I think that is the end result of beating the snot out of the car on a regular basis.

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    I don't know what Camaros you're looking at, they look like a used bar of soap to me, maybe one of those old rubber door stops from my elementary school with some wheels strapped on, real "pinewood derby" styling. This would be why they are gone. The firebird on the otherhand you almost got...

    Another Blower Question

    You'll also want to skip over the 255 fuel pump and go with the 03 Cobra tank and pumps.

    question about tunning...

    How about just having a dyno run with the air fuel read out???? Then you'll know whether you need that $500 tune or not. Peace of mind for under a $100 bucks may be the way to go.
