    99-04 Convertible Compared To Coupe (gt)?

    This is a valid point. I would think vert buyers would be more about the top down luxury aspect of driving than the performance. Not to say you can't be about both but if you were more interested going fast, wouldn't you have bought the coupe 5 speed in the first place? Also that wind in the...

    Problems With Mustangs

    RS camaros are v6s with little power. They won't break their rear axle because they can barely turn the tires over. SS will suffer the same fate as your mustang with the right traction. These cars are built by their respective companies to endure some abuse. Not race conditions though. Get a...

    Ugh. :dammit:. Sorry to hear that. WTF? I'm convinced. That car is freaking jinxed.

    Just had a thought about the build again. The cobra pistons make 8.5 compression in a terminator engine before boost. I wonder if the lower compression of the pistons makes the difference. Stock 2v PI engine makes about 9.5 compression. If that's the case, more boost or a hundred shot may get...

    You've got to figure were at a disadvantage with these engines because they make v6s that have more displacement than 281 ci. You've done something impressive and taken that little engine and made power comparable to the new stuff. Dynos numbers are almost always a let down. Dynos don't care how...

    And let's be clear about something else too. 365 to the wheel is no laughing matter. That car will get down. In an early sn95, nobody will see that thing coming. Dont be so quick to discount the cars ability based on dyno numbers. Get out there and make some passes. These cars are lighter than...

    That really doesn't sound right. I had essentially what you have, maybe a little less speed parts, on a stock internal pi motor, procharged with 12 psi, and made 400 to the wheel. I don't think having an auto instead of a stick would make that big of a decrease. Did monks have anything to say...

    Coolant Leak

    I would take the bolt from the unbroken side and go the next size up but you may have to wait until you see how big the hole is after you're done.

    Ported Edlebrock Intake

    Don't take it personally. We have to sort out the folks that are just throwing around terms they think make them sound like they know what they're doing and those that are genuinely doing what they claim. Wmburns knows his stuff. And we get a lot off questionable posts. But don't be discouraged...

    Progress Thread Port Heads?

    You'll be fine. Those mods won't demand anything past what PI heads can deliver. Your good.

    Fingers crossed for you. Anxious to see the results. One thing I know about dynos though, if you have a number in mind, be prepared for your actual results to be much lower. Set the bar low so you can't be disappointed. Anything above that number is just icing.

    Problem Replacing Tensioner Pulley

    Taking off the tensioner should only be one bolt. I've never tried taking a pulley of the tensioner. Just replaced the whole thing. Could it be counter threaded or are you not seeing a bolt at all?

    Coolant Leak

    The same problem caused me to replace a lower aluminum tuned port intake manifold back in darker time. Had a firebird habit before mustangs. If you can get a bite on it with vise grips that's how I would start. Try to back out out. If it breaks off flush you're going to have to drill. Lots of...

    Help Identify This Part! Brilliant Ford Engineering, Or Useless Weight?

    Yes. This. You will not see any performance improvement by taking it off in anything less than a full blown race car. Even then, you won't notice whatever little change it makes. It's there for a reason. It probably helps more than it hurts. Im not in the business of messing with things I...

    Restoring Stalker Kit To Oem Kit

    Should be pretty straight forward. The body panels are all held on with plastic Christmas tree fasteners and screws. You could source ending you need from junk yards. You'll have to paint everything to match the car anyway. so it doesn't matter what color they are to begin with. If you want new...

    Soft Brakes After New Pads And Rotors

    How does the brake fluid look? My old gt burned the fluid and it was old fluid too. Pedal felt like mush. Flushed the brake system and it felt like brand new again. Old and burned fluid can ruin a breaking system. If it looks green, dark brown or black better change it out.

    Soft Brakes After New Pads And Rotors

    It's okay if they contact a little. If they're interfering with the rotor spinning completely, that's an issue but they're usually a little rub or contact.
