    Q on installing equal length shorties

    I have accumulated a bunch of upgrades for my engine and will be starting the swap this weekend. I have a question about installing the BBK equal length shorty headers that I have. I am also doing a head swap at the same time of the header install, so I'm wondering if I can bolt the heads and...

    Do GT40P heads cause a check engine light?

    SO I've been searching this site and "the other" site for the past 1.5-2 hours (slow day at work, heh) and am only finding more questions than answers. I can't search for 'CEL' because it's too short a word, so hopefully me spelling out check engine will help someone out later when they go to...

    Problem with used Cobra intake. Need advice

    Thanks for the responses everyone. I think what I'm going to try is using my leaf blower to push air through it to clean it out. I don't have access to an air compressor but I think the leaf blower moves enough air to break anything loose. I'm getting the same responses on this from another...

    Problem with used Cobra intake. Need advice

    I found this pic of an edelbrock intake with the end cover off. I'm assuming that a Cobra intake is the same basic design on the inside? http://pic40.picturetrail.com/VOL297/2095428/4067552/220185005.jpg

    Problem with used Cobra intake. Need advice

    Does anyone have any pics of a cobra intake cut open so I can see what the inside looks like? My biggest fear is that after trying everything to get them all out that there will still be one lodged into some small crevace and that it will come loose after the intake is on the car, doing who...

    Problem with used Cobra intake. Need advice

    So I bought a used 94 Cobra intake off a guy on The Corral and have a slight issue with it. No, there's nothing broken on it and I don't anticipate any issues installing it on the car. The issue is that when he shipped it to me he packed it in styrofoam packing peanuts and during the shipping...

    Stock H-pipe question

    Yeah, I prefer the muscle tone of an H compared to the (many times) raspy or tinny sound of an X. I know it costs me a little power but I think the tradeoff is worth it. I had a MRT Catted H-pipe and Steeda cat-back on my old 03 Cobra and it was exactly what I was looking for. Slightly...

    Stock H-pipe question

    I've gone ahead and ordered an o/r H. To hell with the polar ice caps, who needs to stop global warming! ;) I'll jest need to swap it out every year for inspections. If I ever get sick of that I'll have cats welded in down the road.

    1.7 rocker question

    I'm about to find out first hand if 1.7 RRs will fit under stock valve covers. I've heard you have to "massage" the baffle in the underside of the covers. In the next couple weeks I'll be installed Proform 1.7 RRs on my car. I know, I know - Proforms!?!?!? Well, I had already won a new set...

    Stock H-pipe question

    Does anyone have any sound clips of stock headers, o/r H, and stock catback? If you don't have a clip can you comment on how loud it would be or how much it would drone? I don't want to have any cops poking around under the car due to excessive noise and not find any cats. Also since the car...

    Stock H-pipe question

    I've thought about the o/r + cats thing and it does interest me a bit. I'l need to do a cost buildup of that tomorrow to see what it looks like. We do have smog testing in my area, but as long as it's passing a quick peek visual inspection and passing the roller test I don't think I would...

    Stock H-pipe question

    So I've been searching and searching for a used high-flow catted H-pipe to buy and cannot find a single one for sale anywhere. I'm starting to think that my search will never find anything useful so I'm trying to come up with other ideas. Buying a new $400 H-pipe isn't an option right now and...

    SCARY PLEASE READ

    Don't drive an f-body either. Not only is the car dangerous to drive, BUT IT WILL ACTIVELY TRY TO KILL YOU. http://www.safetyforum.com/fcars/ The writer of these "articles" needs to learn how to site. I love how for the F-bodys he tells his readers that t-top models are considerably...

    SCARY PLEASE READ

    OMG THE SKY IS FALLING!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!! You mean to tell me that between 1979 and 1993, 15 years, there have been close to, if not more, than 50 (FIFTY!) rear impact fire related deaths from Mustangs!!!! That's 3.33 deaths per year... Or roughly the same number of people who...

    Ok im finally doing my gears. Lets make sure I have everything I need.

    Just a word of caution. A new speedo gear will not get you 100% accurate if you're going with anything higher than 3.55s. The white 23 tooth will correct up to a 3..5, so 3.73s or 4.10s will still be off.

    Ok im finally doing my gears. Lets make sure I have everything I need.

    Uhh, is this a trick question?? If not don't bother buying all that stuff yourself, just take your car to a shop and tell them you want Ford Racing 3.73s installed and they'll get everything they need. You'll save yourself a lot of headache.

    Roll cage rule info needed

    11's and no cage, yeah, you're getting kicked out pretty much anywhere. But I think anything in the 13's is pretty safe in almost any modern car, including verts, so I don't think you would have an issue there. Dip into the 12's though and you may have to make a fake bar out of those foam pool...

    Roll cage rule info needed

    If all you're going to do is go to the occasional test and tune and you're not planning on getting competitive and doing bracket racing then I would just try pushing your luck for as long as possible before getting a rollbar. I used to run a 01 Trans Am convertible at a track here in Houston at...

    Any nice home A/V setups?

    We really like it. If you have a HDTV it will bring a much better picture to your TV than any DVD player out there. I had a $40 off coupon at Circuit City if you spend $199, so it made the player only $159, a steal.

    Any nice home A/V setups?

    Just wondering if anyone out there's second hobby is movies/video games like myself. I've gotten out of the PC game world because it was too expensive keeping up with the latest tech so I switched over to consoles about 5 years ago. Here's my current setup: Sony 50" LCD Rear Projection...
