    THR (TExas Hot Rods)?

    I too waited for months and months to get a set of headers. Ended up just getting store credit and ordering a clutch instead. I will NEVER order from them again. When I finally did get the parts, they forgot to ship some stuff. They drop ship everything, so everything takes longer. I don't know...

    Mac o/r H vs pro chamber

    I switched from Mac LTs and PC to Pypes LTs and H pipe, my exhaust got quieter. A bit more throaty for sure. I love the sound of the H over the PC. Never sounded refined to me. Just like it wanted to bit your head off and kill you with anything over 3 grand. The H killed a bit of the drone. I...

    Any mods that improve ride quality?

    Too all the nay sayers, these cars can be whatever you want them to be. Luxury or otherwise. Image what the car becomes with lots of chassis stiffing and loads a dynamat and some quite mufflers. Throw a nice suspension underneath and you have a very good handling car. The Cobra R suspension...

    Brother In-Law's Cougar

    The chassis is a good platform. Ford did alot of good work on those cars. With the SLA front end and the IRS in the rear. And super quiet to boot. I had a 93 t-bird as a daily driver for a while. auto climate control, sun-roof, Nice car. As for mods, its kind of an odd year. But you can tune...

    Projector Headlights?

    you know, if they would just loose all the silly garnish in the lights, it might we worth a penny. Get rid of the extra lights and platic, angle self morphing reactor lights, and all that other crap and just make a clean light with a projection lens so I can throw in some HID's Unless you can do...

    My horror story

    I thought you weren't made of money. Cobra swaps are for people made of money. Take your losses, throw in a junk yard 2v, sell the car, and buy a Cobra. This car is cursed. And learn to do your own work. Its not hard to install a supercharger or fuel pump or anything. Especially Saleen stuff.

    2000 Cobra R balancer upgrade

    I don't understand your relaibity argument with this one though. Stock 4.6 balancers last forever in N/A applications. Heavy yes, but alot more reliable then aftermarket units. And I beleive the SVT unit posted won't fit at all. Looks like its meant for driving a blower belt as well. The depth...

    62mm...

    you will end up with a 62mm turbo, and it will proably never end up in your car. Hot side parts are the most time comsuming and expensive. Its not incredably hard to fab on up if you got the time and place. Basically modifying a set of FRPP shorty headers or even the ol cast iron manifolds...

    but it is also good to datalog to car and read the ad counts from the MAF to make sure the computer is getting a clean signal. About 800 or so at redline is good.

    My dream has come true....

    sorta what I did, but not this far. Bought a car with a blower on it, buddy owned the car, knew the tuner well, knew the car well. But I have taken the car so much further then my buddy would have. And spent so much more.

    Cylinder wall wear.

    When I pulley my old motor out, the cylinders were scored, and the cylinders were glazed over too a mirror finish. Very very poor tuning to blame. Always ran good oil. Royal Purple mostly. Car only had around 55k on it.

    Pic of 2000 mustang GT **Leave spoiler or Take It off**

    These cars desperatly need a tall spoiler. Especially if you spend any time above 100mph. Hell even 80mph, it will make a difference. I don't know what power has to do weither you need a spoiler or not. A stock GT can exceed 145mph. But if you are just doing it for looks, then its gay. You open...

    IAT sensor

    I'm the guy with the sensor in the plenum. Delphi makes the OEM sensor for Ford. DELPHI Part # TS10098 Its $16.70. It screws into a 3/8" NPT threaded hole or a bung welded into the charge piping somewhere near the throttle body. Should plug right into your stock harness. May need to extend the...

    Help with gauge match.

    Defi makes a very high quality gauge. I would run them, but I can't see paying that much for them. Alot of Japanese cars run them, but I wouldn't say they were rice. I too would like to find a good Boost gauge that will match the AEM wideband.

    Who makes a quality gauge overlay?

    I have been using speed hut for a while. Just went with a simple design. Only issue I have is that the redline isn't perfect.
