    Is it possible to get a 5.0L in a 01 GT

    You'd be better off with a forged DOHC. Those things LOVE blowers.

    guys long tube set up pass the sniffer?

    I pass CO emissions with a MAC catted H. You should be able to pass with LT's.

    Charging A/C have a few ?'s

    I've got one of those do it yourself A/C chargers. What's the best way to get the freon in there? Can upside down or rightside up? I put a 14oz can in and I doesn't seem as if the second is going in. I know I need at least one more can after this to get it charged up. Anyone done this...

    GT or MACH 1

    MACH 1. More NA power, more blown power at less boost. Has a forged crank, so it will withstand higher power better than the GT. Runs low 13's-high 12's stock. Plus it's got a SHAKER!!!

    a race between a 99+ auto vs manual

    A shift kit won't make any real difference for the auto. You need a TQ converter. Even then, from a roll a 5 spd would most liekly win. A dead stop would probably go to the auto with a TQ converter. I drove a friend's stock 02 GT auto a few weeks back. I couldn't believe how much of a slug...

    How to get 11's sec at 1/4?

    Why no nitrous? It's as safe/dangerous as a blower. It'd be alot cheaper to run 11's with nitrous than a blower. Alot cheaper.

    Long Tube Header Question

    MAC LT's are probably the best bang for the buck, especailly now that you can get them ceramic coated. Build quality can be hit or miss. I used MAC LT's, prochamber, and flowpath for a long time. The headers and prochamber fit perfectly but the c/b never did fit right. Currently I have a MAC...

    DOHC 324 stroker. Way more power potential.

    Automatic guys/girls in here.

    I have had nothing but great expierences with JD's Performance. I bought my PI converter and PA S/S vavle body from there. They don't list PI on their website, so you will have to call. But, Dave is a great guy to work with. www.jdsperformance.com

    That's the same setup I have! :OT: US Marine - how long you been in? I've been out for 2 months and I'm loving it! I was glad to turn my back on that festering hellhole.

    Mach 1 Dyno today!

    Nice numbers. I think the mach 1 DOHC is the best NA motor Ford has made yet. Certainly, it's the best mod motor.

    Mach 1 engine in a 98gt... info?

    I think the auto mach 1 motor uses a 6 bolt crank and the 5 spd one uses the 8 bolt crank. As much as I wanted to, I didn't do the swap myself. I had it done by professionals. I was overseas be shot at by ragheads at the time and that made it sorta hard to work on my car. Give Don a call at...

    Why is my torque so low

    Those things aren't even close to accurate(for instace it's about 60 HP high on yours!).

    Mach 1 engine in a 98gt... info?

    The shaker simply bolts onto the intake....unbolt it and you have an 01 cobra intake. It's simple.

    Ditto.

    Will Mach1 shocks/struts fit a 96 Cobra?

    Should fit fine. I'd get some lakewood 70/30 or better yet, 90/10s for the money, though. They run about $90 a piece.

    Baseline Dyno Tomorrow

    235-240 RWHP. Those plenums are supposed to be pretty good mods. You're still choked up on the intake and exhuast, though, so it will limit the amount of poewr the plenum can make.
