    ported heads/cam #'s

    Ok, Im by no means an expert at this, but Ive ask this same ? a while back. You are looking at about 35-40rwhp gains from the swap. I was also told that if you go with stage 2 cams, you will yield about 10rwhp more above 6200rpms, but u might wanna upgrade the internals to forged ones to rev...

    Cold Air Intake?

    Ill say this much, besides your cust svc being awesome, I picked up 2mph consistently when I 1st installed it. That was before the headers as well, so I have to lean towards it producing a better intake charge and smoothing the flow out if nothing else.:nice:

    cobra crank in 2v block?

    Are the windsors better built from the factory? What's the diff in the romeo/windsor blocks besides the # of crank bolts? Are the heads interchangeable? Just curious as I have a windsor block in my car and installing p&p heads soon.

    Mustangs Rule!

    Yeah, but 300rwhp will put u in the 12.5 or better range in the 1/4. Thats pretty good i think. 4v are better, 3v are good as well, but ford just makes such heavy cars, stangs should be 3100-3200lbs max.

    camaro driver. looking at an '03 GT

    To each his own, but if I had it to do over again, I'd buy a 03-04 mach 1 or 04 cobra. The GT is nice and all and I should be happy with it, but it's slow as crap.:(

    What is fast?

    I agree. A 12.0 car with all the comforts is fast to me. 11.0 is fast as is 10.0 and better. People start modding their cars and it's a never ending story, me included, but its fun. I would love to have a 10.0 street car for a DD, but dont really have a use for it, but to show off.

    MMR stage 1's.

    Are they better? I thought the 2's might be a bit too much flow, but what do I know.

    MMR stage 1's.

    How good are Modular mustang racing heads? Anyone running them? Looking for a reasonably priced head to go with the vt stage 1's I just purchased. Im leaning toward's fox lakes stage 1's, but they require the originals be sent back to them. I know MPH heads are top notch, but they are about...

    It put down WHAT!!!!

    True, but many 4/6cyl cars are making 250+hspwr for cheap and less weight. The mustang is a good car with its 300 hspwr that can run a 13.5 stock (awesome drvr), but take off 300 lbs and it would be an easy 13.1-13.5 car on avg.

    It put down WHAT!!!!

    Fact of the matter is that ford needs to build a better entry level mustang gt. I mean 300hspwr is good, but the darn car weighs about 3500+lbs. Either cut weight out of the stangs or build a higher hspwr car. These rice burners and usa made 4/6 cyl's are equalling or beating stangs stock for...

    Camaro ss vs. Mach 1 vs GT

    True dat. They will all be good races and I would like both stangs to smoke that SS. A cammed gt is an impressive car with a good tune and with a full exhaust can run high 12's. I also know it cost's way more to mod a late model camaro(having to pull the engine for about every bolt on) than a...

    Camaro ss vs. Mach 1 vs GT

    Id say based on your mods, 275rwhp...give or take, vs a 310+rwhp SS and a 295+rwhp mach, I think that you will do alot better in the 1/4 vs a roll. You MIGHT lose by 1-2 cars to both though, but your car does weigh a bit less which helps you a bit. Heck out of 5 1/4 mile races, you might even...

    Not impressed with new 05+ stangs.....

    I would say mid 13's is about right...low 13's are a stretch due to weight. Not saying it cant be done, but on avg,mid to high 13's are the norm from what ive read. Ive driven both the 05 manual and an 06 auto and both were equally quick, but by no means felt like low 13 cars.

    What would you do with $45M?

    Id take the 20 or so mill cash after taxes and invest 18 mill...pay off my current home, buy a 03-04 cobra (1000 rwhp DD), buy a bentley GT, my wife whatever car she wants and just retire and travel. In about 5 years Id have another 5 or so mill gained off investmentsand just build up my money.

    My SS pic

    Yeah, its sad really, but ss's have to pay way more for labor since you have to pull the engine for just about every thing. Thats some satisfaction I guess...not really.:shrug:

    Got my vt stage 1 n/a cams installed!!!

    From what Ive read, stage 1's are good for 20-25rwhp with a power band of 1500-6100. Probably run .3-.4 better in the 1/4 and trap about 3-4mph higher.

    Need some advice on a head/cam pkg.

    Im thinking of going with the patriot stage 2 heads/cheapest so far and some sort of stage 2 cams (vt,comps,crower...). Are the stage 2 pkg's too much flow for my current mods and my car being a DD? Ive heard of head gasket/oiling issues with the patriots back in the day, but they've supposedly...

    HELP with auto n HEADERS

    Stay away from shorties, bbk lt's, kooks, jba mids, slp lt's will all fit your trans without any modification needed. All will prbably give you 25+ flywheel hspwr, but remember, if you lower your car more than 1.5", you will have clearence issues over speed bumps, steep driveways...

    Steering shafts?'s

    Looking to replace my stock steering shaft with either the flaming river or maximum motorsports one for more header clearence. Are they the same diameter as stock or a bit smaller. I need about 1/8" or 1/4" clearence from the header (1-5/8" mid length) and heard that these two are a bit smaller...
