    What are high mileage GT40P heads worth

    That would be a waste of time. Good call. That is how much they are worth. That is not a steal.

    how many people r runnin modified motors on a stock block?

    Here is the best advice you will ever get. Do not start throwing parts at your car when it is not running top notch. Do one step at a time, get it running well at each step. Throwing money at it will not solve the root of the problem, if there is one. I have seen people buy more parts when...

    $437.00 for some meats.....

    I believe those are ET street radials (drag radials). ET streets are DOT slicks. You could potentially get 1.7's depending on your set-up. With bfg drag radials, I still couldn't do much better than 1.85 (usually around 1.9). It will still take some practice to get it to hook. Lower...

    how many people r runnin modified motors on a stock block?

    I did HCI at about 110k miles and did my turbo around 130k. I pulled my motor this winter with about 138k on it and it was clean with really nice cross hatching.

    Pics of the 95 GTS with new springs and LCA's

    Are you being serious? I love the tri-ax. I will agree that the stock shifter is horrible, but I'd find it hard to believe you'd feel much of a difference between the good aftermarket ones. The MGW is a little more adjustable though. I guess thats a plus.

    what will 300rwhp beat

    Here is me barely pulling on a GTP. I ran 13.1 with this set-up. It was fun for awhile, but as soon as I was not able to pull on GTP's much I bought a turbo. I was making about 270 to the wheels with this set-up. I did take on a bunch of cars, but now there are the new camaros, challengers...

    300 hp

    Yeah, you caould get H/C/I and be right there, but make sure you keep in mind what your future mods will be if any. Otherwise you could waste money very easily.

    what will 300rwhp beat

    Nothing. haha Even the GTO's and camaros that you may keep up with will be completely stock and you'll get crap for losing with a modded car anyways. If 300rwhp is fun enough for you, than great, but don't expect anyone to consider it anywhere near fast and don't waste for time racing...

    any money wizards out there?

    The reason is that beacuse they had the beach house. A huge asset. They do not qualify for coverage. How would you like it if someone wanted money from you and they had something worth as much as a beach house that they just gave away to someone, leaving them in a situation needing money...

    Compression Test Results= Tired 5.0

    As long as you'll be satisified with the power, do a 331 or 347 and just keep your heads unless you get a good deal on a set of 185's or something. I would get the block machined, bearing pressed in and then assemble the rotating assembly. Altough it depends on how much money I'd be saving...

    Picked up my GT40P's (pics)

    I'd at least fork out another $100 on a used cam personally. Even if you didn't plan on using it it two years, I think it would still be worth it until then.

    SuperBrightLEDs in Autometer gauges...

    I have seen the autometer led in blue before and it was almost too bright. I'm not sure on the autometer led specs, but the SuperBrightLed single LED might work great as well. I guess it depends on where it is in the car and how bright you want it. Maybe I'll just get both and see.

    Finished the interior conversion

    I have sat in the non-reclining version and they seem like awesome seats for the money. I just might have to get me a pair of these new ones.

    Pulling engine for the third time.... remove the A/C this time?

    Just grow some balls and get rid of it! I used to be completely against it, but taking it out was on of the best decisions I have had with my car. SOOOO much more room. Plus my car kind of ran like crap and got hotter with it on anyways, so I always hated using it.

    Yeah, its funny how similar that hot side is to MINE.?? haha That intake pipe looks very similar too.

    How Many GTS Owners Here?

    Even though you can barely tell, mine is a gts. It's kind of cool and obviously has a weight advantage.

    anyone running spintech mufflers

    And also tons of people saying it was the worst mustang they ever heard, including almost all of our friends. Even the ones that liked it said it sounded like crap from the outside. Who cares now, b/c all you'll hear is TURBO!!!!!!!

    331 Turbo vs 408

    600 rwhp?? Thats weak as hell. Why have a 331 then?? I was talking about an aftermarket block (which is heavier in most cases). So I think you meant to say 800-1000 rwhp. Sounds more fun than a NA 408 to me.
