    Me Vs. LS2

    Sorry man you will lose, probably pretty badly... I owned a 96 Cobra for two years and I know for a fact that my current GT is quicker than my old Cobra was. The 96-98 Cobras put down about 270 rwhp and pretty close to matching torque numbers... The 99-04 GT's may have come with less HP but...

    Battles Of The Body Styles (4.6's and early 5.0 verus 99-04)

    You know thats a pretty tough call... My first Mustang was a Black on Black 96 Mustang Cobra and I loved that car. At the time when I bought it (1999) the 99+ body style had just come out, and to me they had too sharp of angles. Now that I am on my third Mustang I prefer the 99-04 body style...

    New Pinging 2003 GT questions

    Keep the K&N... I have always run them and to me its worth it. Just go buy one of those K&N Filter Re-Charger kits. They are like $20.00 and it comes with the spray cleaner and the aerosol oil. Just make sure you dont over oil it, but make sure the whole thing is red as the filter doesnt...

    New Pinging 2003 GT questions

    I just went through this today actually... 99% certain that you have the same problem as me, Clean the MAF sensor with some electric contact cleaner. Chances are the new K&N was overly oiled and you got it on the MAF. So clean it and disconnect the battery for like 10 minutes and you should...

    upr x pipe and 40series flows

    I have LT's O/R H-Pipe and 40 series flow and to me it sounds perfect. Like mentioned above its all subjective but I have heard my setup with an X instead of an H and to me it was WAY to raspy. Why dont you use that 20K for a new car instead?

    New Onset Pinging

    No I know, its definately detonation and I realize how bad it is for our pistons... I just pulled out my K&N and cleaned it so tommorrow morning I will re-oil it and put it back in. I am also leaving the battery cable disconnected over-night. I just cant understand why it would start all...

Dont get me wrong you can run 4:10's with out any problems as well but you will be taching more RPM's... Like mentioned above, if it doesnt already have a short throw shifter do...

    Cam journals caps broken!!! 4 out of 5 journals busted in half!!

    Sounds to me like one of two things happened, either you didnt torque the caps properly or there was something wrong with the cam shaft from VT when you installed it...

    Engine / Trans. Knock

    Hard to say for certain without hearing it... I am inclined to think though that if it was a spun bearing you would hear it at any rpm. That fact that you can feel it in the shifter makes me think that you are right and it is something in the tranny/clutch. Maybe the pilot bearing in the...

    Holy $hit man!!! You are damn lucky you didnt get in an accident, you must have been a saint or something in the last life... +1 for the outer tie rod end for sure, based upon all the grease and dirt under your car it looks like a high mileage vehicle. If I were in your shoes I would go ahead...

    new round of "mods" *PICS*

    I must confess I usually dont like red mustangs, but the way you have yours set up is Bad A$$! I love the no spoiler look, as far as the tires go I think that BF Goodrich are the only tire that I would go with white lettering out, looks damn good, especially with that particular wheel. In...
