    liquid cooled kb blower

    Anyone have info on this?? I just saw it in a mag, it is not on their web site yet. I keep flirting with this, and then a new blower comes out. I guess I have at least settled on KB. Anyone with some info or knowledge, can you post it? I have a stock 06 gt. Thanks, Doc

    bumper cover from new take off parts? Is it worth it

    I need to repair my 06 gt bumper, these are advertised as painted. Is the finish really that good, or will I still need to paint it? I was wating to take it off and fix it during blower install, but the price is pretty good from these guys. Thanks in advance Doc

    how much to install the handling pack

    I have an 06 gt, where did you get your handling pack installed, and was it worth it. My car is a fair weather driver and some time autocross. Thanks, Doc

    question on winter driving

    Guys, I'm not going to do it. I was looking at my truck, it has all types of salt and grit all over it. I don't want my engine compartment full of all that. I'm going to keep the car as pristine as I can. The salt and chemicals here in Maine are rotting our cars to junk. My last truck was...

    Stage 3 Motorsports

    Hi John, Thanks for posting this. I'd like to look into it as well. I am starting on the supercharger journey and it looks like it will be way more expensive and time consuming than I had thought. I want to do most of the work myself, but do not want to build the short block. This could be a...

    has anyone ever shipped their engine out for work?

    I'm considering pulling the engine and sending it to livernois for better internals. I'd pull it and re-install myself. I have not talked with livernois as of yet. Also, is there a better option on the East coast? I am in Maine. Thanks all, Doc

    engine build in Maine

    Here is the plan, have the bottom end of my car built enough to handle a kenne bell mammoth blower. Ideally I'd like to pull it out, send it out, put it together, put it back in and put the blower on it. I have been told the engines are tough to put back together. Does anyone have experience...

    how many of you have pulled the engines from your car?

    As winter approaches, I am thinking of getting a short block built for my car/from my car. I have pulled and installed my share of engines in british cars, but nothing as complicated as my stang. This project would allow me to get a bigger blower in the spring. I am handy and have done my...

    is there another car based on the 05 mustang platform

    Depending on your age, you may remember this. When the honda crv was popular, car and driver put two engines in the car. As winter approaches, I thought about doing this with a mustang, if there was a front wheel drive based car. Just a thought, it would be great to have a four wheel drive...

    blower/engine build question

    I have not driven a car like that. The most brutal car I have driven was a friends cobra r. It made my 06 look like a station wagon. Here is my issue: I want to keep my present car. I had thought of putting on a big blower that would allow me to build the engine later. The car has 21 k on...

    blower/engine build question

    I had a "chat" with kenne bell today (they were great at getting back to me) and I want the larger mammoth kit. I need to build the bottom end of my car. Has anyone done a build on the stock engine to handle high boost? I want to go with the largest blower I can get now, so I don't have to...

    KB vs whipple which will "grow" better with the car

    The car will be a dd, hopefully show car, I will continue to autocross. I just don't want to not have options if I want to turn the car into a monster some where down the line. The car sits all winter, that would be a perfect time to have the bottom end done, etc. I mean really wouldn't it...

    are falken tires any good

    I went with Cooper tires, so far so good. I will let you know how they turn out. I was way too overwhelmed with choices. I went with coopers due to their association with roush racing and I like the shop where I bought them. I will let you all know. I should have waited because I wanted...
