    550+ rwhp too much for a daily driver?

    the clutch was the only thing i actually thought would make a drivability issue but wanted to make sure other big hp stangs agreed. i don't think it has a real aggressive cam, I'm not expecting it to idle like a 60's muscle car that wants to choke out all the time unless you keep it reved up...

    550+ rwhp too much for a daily driver?

    that's what i was hoping to hear... i assume the car is only as fast as you drive it and that you can be civil even with monster power. just wanted to make sure that i wouldn't get squirly if i didn't want to i'm not sure about the boost/compression.

    550+ rwhp too much for a daily driver?

    i have posted another thread saying how i might be swapping my stock 03 gt motor for a vortech 97 cobra motor with about 550 rwhp (when it was in his cobra). I haven't seen all the work about the motor, all i know is that it was built up right (all internals are forged), has different cams, work...

    97 cobra supercharged motor in an 03 GT? will it work

    what about the cooling system? i went to a local performance shop today and he was saying i would probably have to replace the radiator and cooling accessories. i figured some of the hoses might not match up but assumed the core and fans would be fine...? do the 4v motors run different...

    97 cobra supercharged motor in an 03 GT? will it work

    97 cobra supercharged motor in an 03 GT? will it work

    so i may possibly be able to buy a 97 cobra motor with a vortech supercharger that is fully built up and only has about 10,000 miles on it. I have a stock 03 gt right now. will this bolt up to my transmission? i would be getting a new clutch to handle the power but i wasn't sure if it...

    Sound/Heat Damping?

    i did my entire car atleast once over, mostly doubled with raammat bxt and love it. you can get it at raamaudio.com if you just want cheap stuff you could even do peel and seal from the roofing section at home depot/ lowes but your car will smell like tar for a long time, and it's a lot...

    70mm throttle body question

    also good to hear. i had a buddy of mine get an extra 30ish rwhp from a tune but his was supercharged. i doubt i would pick up too much hp from mine with only intake, tb, and catback exhaust it's pretty stock so it might be a waist of money.

    70mm throttle body question

    so i have a completely stock engine other than a cold air intake and now a 70mm throttle body. i havn't put it on yet but i was wondering if i needed to port out the stock plenum because of the bigger TB. i doubt most people do it and if it's not necessary i won't either, but if it's not going...

    gas mileage per tank help

    If you have aftermarket gauges maybe your reaching "E" before it's actually empty?? when you fill up from empty is 15ish gallons? i would try injection cleaning and all that good stuff. i have a bone stock 03 other than a intake/exhaust and i get a solid 230 city at least. closer to 300 if...

    lowering springs with no isolators

    i spent all day putting new springs on mine today. thought i would go with the isolators this time thinking the sportlines would drop too much... so put them on and it wasn't low enough. took the front iso's out, didn't wrap them in anything (maybe i should have though), and for now the back...
