    lets talk WIDE wheels

    LOL I wouldn't even try it unless you are minitubbing or backhafling the car. I run a 10" rim with 275s and it does rub on the quad shock, I'll fix that later with coilovers and probably switch to 295s, I think that's the biggest I am going.

    Exhasut question, what mufflers provide this..

    My car does exactly as you say above. I have 1 3/4 BBK longtubes, Dr Gas OFFROAD X Pipe, and Borla 2.5" catback. Quieter at idle, gets loud and racecar sounding when I get on it, sometimes pops loud when I am decelerating or downshift. BTW, this also happened when I had 2 chamber...

    rear seat delete

    Yep the rear bench seat cushion is light but the rear seats are about 15-20lbs, plus the sound deadener at about 3-4 lbs

    Throw out bearing

    Definately a bad throwout bearing! Yes you do have to take out the whole tranny. The throwout bearing goes on the tailshaft of the T5. Might as well change the clutch while you are at it. Get a King Cobra one for $160-180, lighter pedal pressure, more grip, it's a suitable, cheap, ford...

    aluminum radiator and manual rack save some more weight in addition to above, as well as no back seat, jack or spare, no stereo.

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    Seems like your first post was just irony. A lot of contradictory bull****. And no matter how you reword your first post, they are not "essentially" the same. Yeah a 4 cylinder foxbody is essentially the same as my modified foxbody hatchback.

    Why I'm going with a V-6

    I agree. I have nothing against V6 mustangs, but sometimes the owners just don't know their place. They think that V6 and V8 mustangs are alike. WRONG. They are NOTHING alike. It is a completely different driving experience. When I was a kid, one of the first mustangs I rode in was a V6...

    on blower motor: long tubes or shorties?

    Sorry but when i think of a blown 347 I think of like 850rwhp, so if you had shorties I would think you could easily gain 40hp with longtubes on a restricted motor.

    What are the best short shifters for 5.0 cars?

    I've had the Steeda Tri-Ax and B&M Pro Ripper, Steeda Tri-Ax is way better personally, I can NEVER miss third.

    Quietest Free Flowing Muffler

    I think Borla, Magnaflow and Dynomax are the quietest out there. I run Borla Turbo XS mufflers on my 347 stroker with longtubes and an X pipe with no cats. It is still loud, but not obnoxiously so. It is semi quiet at idle and cruising speed. Loud and racecar sounding when I step on it...

    How much HP is an Electric Fan worth?

    Go with control arms for sure. They help traction greatly and I would personally take them over an electric fan, even though I have both. Get the fan later!

    Best shifter t-5 Sorry 4 another poll!!!

    I've had the B&M Pro Ripper and the Steeda Tri-Ax. The B&M was nice but the Tri-Ax is so much better I wouldn't consider anything else. Missing 3rd gear is impossible.

    Automatics vs. Manuals

    Personally, I like manual. A lot more fun and control over the car. I've had 2 auto and 2 manual cars. The autos were cool to drive around places and everyday but there's no driver input, the transmission does what it does, you can only hit the gas and brake. If it's your daily driver...

    what some typical 347 and 331 EFI dyno #'s

    It does depend on the combo, shortblock, and whether it's supposed to be smog legal or not. Mine makes 390rwhp, but it needs more air/fuel and a dynotune. Looking for about 420rwhp when I'm done by spring.
