    Collector size on BBK Long-tube header?

    I've looked on their website and several other websites, but I can't find out the size of the collector. I want to find out so I can take the first step to see if they'll match up with a Pro-Chamber, does anyone else know?

    05 vert caught on the street!

    In the first pic, is the guy waving to you or is he putting his hand up telling you not to take pictures?

    What's the difference between 64cc heads and 58cc heads?

    Someone told me one is better for forced induction and one is better for N/A cars. Also, how does each one affect the compression ratio?

    Dissapointed -w- V6?

    Having formely driven a V6, I can say I was satisfied in the areas of styling and status (really gets the attention of people) but in terms of performance, the car was lacking. It was a 2000 model, so it's got 190 HP but it was an automatic, so it really sapped power from the engine. The car...

    what is the biggest tire size I can go on 17X8 rims for the back of GT & LX?

    Tirerack actually recommends 235/45R17. This is probably because the variations in tire widths (Remember, not all 235 mm tires have the same width) to prevent rubbing on the fenderwells. However, as mentioned before, 245/45R17 is the size you need for speedometer accuracy and all that other...

    A general and over-asked question, what does it take to get into the 12s?

    What does it take to make a late-model Fox Mustang run 12s on the 1/4 mile? I just mean high-12s, 12.99 would be good enough for me. What kinds of parts combinations would help? And how much BHP and RWHP does it usually take? Finally, assume the car is a 5-speed.

    How can you tell if a 5.0 was previously a four-banger?

    I just want to check to see if my car started out its life as a 5.0. I don't have money for Carfax, so are there any tell-tale signs that show? How does an 8.8 inch rear end look like? I know the suspension is also different with the four-bangers, too.

    Who makes overdrive pulleys for Mustangs?

    The eletrical load on my Mustang is very high, and the standard 75-amp alternator just can't keep up with my remote starter, PIAA headlight bulbs, and upgraded car audio system. I've got an underdrive pulley on it right now, and in terms of charging, it does no good. I was wondering who makes...

    why mod a V6?

    Personally, I feel the V6 models were never intended to be performance cars. I think Ford had in mind a Mustang for people who wanted the looks but could care less about performance. I have nothing against modding a V6, but it's potential is limited when compared to 4.6 and 5.0 liter V8s. I...

    Which mod? GT-40 Heads or T5 Swap?

    Okay, after calculating my budget, I have figured out two mods that would make a heck of a lot of a difference on my car. The first are GT-40 Xtra Swirl Aluminum heads, or some other high-performance cylinder heads. I know that besides power adders, heads give you the most horsepower gain...

    Tires with decent tread life and with awesome performance?

    Okay, here's what I'm looking for since everyone asked: - I plan on getting a set of dedicated drag tires for drag racing, so this means I don't have to worry about drag radials. If I did plan on getting DRs, I wouldn't use them for street use because of how fast they wear and the fact that...

    Tires with decent tread life and with awesome performance?

    We all know the old adage about tires. Tires the grip to the road like a train on rails wear out faster then a pencil eraser. And unfortunately, tires that last long grip to the road as good as a frog does vertically to glass. What I'm looking for is a tire that will last over 9,000 miles and...

    Eibach Alignment Kit vs. C&C plates

    An alignment kit from Eibach is way cheaper then C&C plates, but I assume you don't get the amount of adjustability that you would from the plates. If you lowered your car, which would you use?

    Pulleys: Worth it?

    With my pullies, I've felt a difference in performance but I've also been having some charging problems. At low RPMs, my headlights dim, my climate control fans don't run as fast, and my CD player will shutdown too for no reason. I don't run an amp or subs, and the only thing that is really...

    Well, well, if it isn't rdalrt. The 5.0 crowd up in North Battleford says your car only comes out every 11 3/4 months in a year, is this the time? And the fact that you moved out of North Battleford automatically makes Andy Holata the fastest 5.0 in N.B.
