    need pointers on bfore drag

    well you have planty of power. power shifting is not a great idea like was said. you dont need to unless you wanna walk home. with that much power street tires would be useless. if you run radials then i wouldnt even bother trying to launch as the tires will only spin. slip the clutch out fast...

    engine fire help

    well you need to check the stereo cable like was said. check the insulation to see if it is damaged. one wire cannot start a fire. unless it is exposed to bare metal of the opposite charge. so the positive lead for the amp had to contact something grounded to the car. i highly doubt it was the...

    Whine when downshifting (when the revs go up)

    it should be the tranny i believe the 3650's have straighter gears than all the other ford trannys. mine whines loud enought in 1st and 2nd sometimes it is mistaken for a blower.

    What kind of power does it take to pull the front wheels?

    it has been done by the newer cobras but if his rear is still stock then no you may prove him wrong when the rear suspension breaks. a few tricks to do so will be removing the sway bar, skinnies up front and moving the battery to the rear. the biggest thing is having a good rear suspension. i...

    Naturally aspirated

    well define whether it is rwhp or flywheel hp. i know of one 2v doing 330 rwhp with everything including a p-51 intake. if you want rwhp then you will need $$$ to do so. it takes cams, heads, intake and every bolt on peice to come close.

    Pulley

    little late but yeah the pulley puller needed bolts through the center and has a metal ring and various half circle metal things that the ring slides over. you turn the bolt and it pulls the pulley off. the puller also re-installs the pulley so plan to rent it again. be careful though as the...

    I need some insight on an oil leak!

    to find solutions eliminate some culprits one by one. an oil filter is not expensive so try replacing the one on the car. degrease and wash the motor. run the car or even better get a second person to raise rpms while you look for leaks. if no one is available then run the car but not very fast...

    Cat converters

    yes it will set of the light. its not worth doing it will only harm performance and sound. the hollow chambers will create turbulence in the exhaust and hinder flow. if you want performance and sound gains invest in some mid pipes. the mid pipes can be either catted with only two cats or o/r...

    03cobra & 01cobra halfshafts any difference

    the 03 half shafts are also much thicker, hence their added strength.

    good setup??

    for the mass air set up the 93 cobra would be perfect. it is calibrated for 24# injectors. the tb choice for your car is too much, unless you go fi. a 70mm is good for n/a. not sure but heard the bbk intake is back ordered for a long time. it is an ok choice for the street and the extra cost of...

    shifting problems

    well as for the "wall" is it in the 2-3 upshift? if it is then i think its just you and the shifter missing the gear. i would go with an aftermarket unit to cure that issue. mor than likely your trying to push the handle too far over when you upshift and miss 3rd or even 5th.

    Is An Autometer A/f Gauge Ok To Tune With?

    it wont help you tune only give a rough estimate as to where the cars a/f is at. they are run off the cars 02's. those sensors are too generic to tune with. a wideband is expensive but so is a motor. i would suggest finding a dyno with a wideband, make a few runs so you can see the a/f and...

    75 Shot?

    yes it should be safe. as stated research as much as possible. do not ever use any platinum plugs. they will foul up. buy as many features as possible. a wot switch, window switch and purge would be some things to invest in. most kits already include the wot switch. the window would be an added...

    5.0 into 98 V6?

    can be done but the entire drivetrain and rear would need to be swapped. the t-5 in a v6 is too weak even for a stock 302 as is the rear. if it were ever seriously considered a wrecked donor car would be the best thing.

    Might be redoing my exhaust

    regardless of your decision the magnaflows will work. if you got the budget i would suggest lt's and a o/r x. if not then just buy the o/r h/x of your choice. but why do you need a new mid pipe?

    forged internals

    ok like was said your post is too vague. forging is done for the strength and durability not to increase power. it can help a little but not much to increase power over stock if the compression is raised. assuming everything on the stock motor is put onto the forged short block. if your car runs...

    Cam Work - cost vs. performance

    i know of one car in my area with cams. the guy did his own install. pricing would be dependant on the shops labor rate. ballpark for cams installed would be 2000. thats figuring cost of cams, labor and other small misc. things. requires alot of work to do. so find a reputable place that does...

    Head question

    well a cheaper alternative is to scavenge the hardware store for somt bolts to fit in the holes. did that on my 95 with no problems. it should be the same thread as one of the larger bolts on the front holding the accessory bracket to the heads.
