    anyone run 4.30 or 4.56 gears on the street

    They'd be fun on the street...but a total basturd on the highway! :notnice: I personally think there is a limit to gearing on a street car, and i feel its 3:73's on a 5 speed fox. Anything more and your really running the engine hard on the highway at high rpms and giving it extra wear.

    what i am getting

    Honestly, from what you've listed the only thing your really gonna "feel" is the 3:73's. It will give you more of the "put you in your seat" feel. As for the headers, well it'll add hp but i could never feel the difference. Mainly it just sounds sick and well worth the money. The ignition stuff...

    4-cyl to 5.0 Conversion

    I guess i don't get what your getting at....? Main drawbacks over a GT or stock 5.0 lx? Um... nothing? Unless i'm mistaken, the body is the same regardless of the engine. A 4 cyl is actually better if you plan on putting a new engine in it anyways. First its cheaper and 2nd the frame should be...

    If you were ordering new Control arms for a fox with 5 lug. Sn-95 ball joints?

    Hey guys, if you were ording new tubular a-arms and doing a 5 lug conversion. Wouldn't you want to order the a-arms with the sn-95 ball joints rather then the fox ball joints? Then you wouldn't have to run spacers right?

    cervini's saleen side skirts

    Saleen side skirts stick on with double sided tape. They are NOT part of the trim. The trim pieces area ll seperate. The reason they won't fit a gt/cobra is because the gt/cobra side skirts and trim are one. The lx with saleen side skirts are 2. Saleen side skirts on a GT would look dumb and out...

    Came across this whilst clearing off a video tape - Dyno Vid

    Yeah i kinda built my engine around Rick Anderson's 347 Coupe build. I'm buying all the parts from him and he kinda designed the setup so he took all that into consideration. I'll run the collector work by Rick and see what he says. Thanks for the help man.

    Post up your pics of Fox GT's with 18' Saleens!!!

    What kinda springs/coil-overs are you running that you don't get any rubbing? Must be stiff. Or you have a really good alignment so it tucks the wheel. I use to get rubbing with my Eibach Pro-kit and 24mm offset 245/40/18's

    Came across this whilst clearing off a video tape - Dyno Vid

    Well the reason i'm going with them is because Rick suggested they would be my best option. Right now i have BBK shorties 1 5/8 ceramics. And i have a somewhat steep driveway and i put it on the hoist in my shop(Tires, oil, etc..) So i'm worried that if i spend $900.00 on Bassani 1 3/4 stepped...

    Thats def not a centrifigul blower. It didn't seem to pull that hard up in the rpms, but then again it is 4th gear.

    Does a different offset change the look of a rim?

    Okay i never thought of that. So pretty much what your saying is that a rim(Cobra R for instance) Looks identical regardless of the offset. All they do is "shave" the mount pad thinner to achieve the different offsets correct?

    Does a different offset change the look of a rim?

    I'm not retarded, i know what offset is. :rolleyes: But the point is if a 9 inch rim has a 24mm offset and say it sits flush with the fender. Okay, now take that same 9 inch rim but have it in 36mm offset. It sits in a half inch further then the 24mm. So... that would mean the angles of the...

    Does a different offset change the look of a rim?

    What i'm asking is does the different offsets of the same rim(Cobra R for instance) change the "look" of the rim. So if you had the two next to each other and say one rim was 24mm offset and the other was 36mm offset, Would one look different then the other? Cause a 24mm offset rim would have a...

And anybody know about this hood? I guess what i'm asking is if i should buy OEM off ebay or local CL or buy the replacement...
