    Speaker Measurements Inside

    I just pulled my door panels and dash speaker covers (first time they were off in 14 years) and took some measurements for new speakers. I wanted to share the measurements for anyone that needed them later on. DOOR: Depth to window track - just a hair under 2 1/4" opening diameter - 5.11"...

    one thing though, make sure you match the speed ratings or you'll get wierd and potentially unsafe handling

    high rpm's

    very good balance and dampener along with serious valve springs and a solid roller cam. personally, I would keep it to 6000-6500 and enjoy the low rpm torque and midrange

    What size cowl?

    408gt, where in NH are you located? I have a 2.5" cowl hood that I won't be using and depending on where you are, I may be able to bring it up and try it before you buy (and hopefully buy mine :) ) let me know.

    can I keep anything from my twisted wedge heads?

    again, thanks anyway, but one quick question... is everything that you do to your mustang based on what it costs? yes, I'm sure it always has a bearing, but I am also sure that you have not always selected the cheapest option available. I will not "screw someone over". My heads will work...

    beef up a 7.5 rear?WHAT WOULD U DO? HELP!!!

    the longevity of your rear end will be dependant on how much traction you have. if you run slicks or even drag radials, a couple hard launches will likely break stuff. there are many different ratios that it could have come with. easiest ways to find out are check if there is a tag still on...

    can I keep anything from my twisted wedge heads?

    i appreciate most of the feedback. it is neither an injector or a header and I have had the entire valvetrain gone over and readjusted by a very seasoned professional. as far as a "few bucks" for the valve guides, I have been told it will cost $500-600 to correct this problem that was very...

    can I keep anything from my twisted wedge heads?

    you guys think I'll see a performance gain, even a small one? that's great, I wasn't expecting any gains at all. the heads are coming out because of a valve guide issue. I have a tick that, while it doesn't affect performance at all (the car runs like a raped ape right now), it pisses me...

    Any Gen 7 users?

    My tuner recommened an Accel Gen7 to me over a Tweecer when I install a turbo kit. I would like to have significant upgradability as I don't see a 302 being in the car forever and I would prefer to not drop $1500 on a fuel system again. Anyone run one? opinions?

    can I keep anything from my twisted wedge heads?

    So I'll be swapping out the Trick Flows for a set of AFR 185's this winter. I know I have titanium retainers and decent springs (although I am getting some float above 6000 rpm, but my cam is damn big) and some nice rockers. what can I reuse on the AFR's that a fully assembled set won't come...

    turbo cam?

    rick and superstang, I am thinking about a custom from either FTI or camshaft innovations, but wanted to see if there was an off the shelf that would get it done for a couple hundred dollars less. as I'm not looking for every last bit of power, I figured there would be something out there that...

    turbo cam?

    My motor is coming out soon for a freshen-up and to replace the heads. I'm going with AFR 185's and my plans are to add a single turbo kit in the next year or two. Ultimate goal is for 500-550 at the wheels and MA smog legal. On top of that, it want drivability at near stock and the car to be...
