    1/8 mile times....

    I just take off from idle, kinda ride the clutch for a split second and nail it. Just like I would from a traffic light. This is probably why I can only cut a 2.3 60'. I keep worrying that if I dump the clutch I will light them up on stock tires. I know I'm wrong I just need to get out and...

    LT Headers & O/R X-pipe worth @ least .38 sec & 2.05MPH

    Yeah but don't forget that L/T headers actually quieten the exhaust note just a tad. If it's the loudest exhaust you want possible...run open headers. If you want the next loudest, just throw an offroad h/x pipe with a reasonably open muffler and it will get you there. Shorties will also be...

    pictures and video of my sct dyno tune of my blown bird

    Are you kidding me? A late-model Firebird/Camaro equipped with an LS1 is beyond corvette territory WITHOUT modifications. You better check yourself.

    Electric cut outs a waste of cash?

    downsouthman1: You apologize for the fact that he takes offense over trivial things? What a joke. In my opinion... you don't deserve to be called downsouthman because I certainly have never met a true southern gentleman to speak of such redicule. But I am glad you "agreed" with him with...

    Thanks for the understanding fellas... Being that I traded my 98' Pontiac Trans Am in towards an 04' GT 3 weeks ago, I am in NO WAY of putting the Mustang down or anything... but I have to wonder something. Yes, the Mustang may have outlived the crapbirds but I gotta tell ya, they...

    1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter, this year, next year, next generation, so on, and so on. Twisted, you and everyone else is gonna have to get used to the fact that Ford has nearabout always made a crap transmission and never did anything about it. Did it ever occur to them...

    My final review of my 4.10's!

    gosh-darn-it, after reading that I feel that I must get 4.10's. The plan for me was to go with 3.73's (I do plan on forced induction in the future) but I just can't see myself wasting money on 3.73's. It might be awhile until I heavily mod my car so I guess the best thing to do is to enjoy N/A...

    Just got my Mustang(Pic)

    Hainey that's a great looking car. Dark Shadow Grey was my second choice for color. Looking at your car makes me almost wish the quarter landed on the other side when I tossed it up.

    jprez22: I just got off the phone with a service technician from my dealership, following through with this whole tsb thing. He hasn't yet heard anything either. Like I said in my ealier post, it could take up to 3 months before Ford actually issues something to be done about our cars from...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I think we are all desperate to get this "fix". Let's just wait and see what he has to say, I'm sure he'll fill us in on the scoop. But, if I'm not mistaken he is paying for this "fix". Those 4 parts aren't part of an TSB yet so I'm not sure how he's getting this covered by Ford. Are they...

    New track times...gimme your opinion

    hey dragginuts.... When you get your car back, take your mass air meter and swap the stocker back in. I think this may solve your idling issues. A buddy of mine has almost the same mods as you and it idled like crap. Sure enough, it was the MAF. Now, it runs as smooth as mine with his...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Thanks. I don't have a catback yet but it's the next thing on my "to do" list. I figured the Tri-ax would cause some dispute at the dealership so I'm holding off. Not indefinately but at least until we get this TSB rollin'. The grinding isn't much of a problem for me anymore (read my earlier...

    It's sad that we have to come up with these techniques to get our cars to shift without grinding. I know that it's been brought up before, but I will ask this one last time here in hopes of an answer from somebody who knows. My Steeda Tri-ax has finally arrived and I'm so anxious about...

    Supercharger questions ???

    Tell you what... just go out and find the BIGGEST supercharger you can possibly get. One of them oldskool roots blowers or perhaps go steal one off a forcefed dragster. Then when you get home, rip your intake manold off and toss it aside. Next, somehow find a way to bolt that gigantic blower...

    Where to find plain Cowl Induction Hoods?

    thanks for all the help guys, I didn't even bother checking H.O. Fibertrends (designer of 95' Cobra R hood) but I went to their website and it's got what the doctor ordered. A 2.5" Cowl Hood made the oldskool way. I know their name is reputable but anyone here have any problems with their late...
