    Added intake and return style fuel, lost power???

    I've got 290 on 19s and no problems. Most people on Modular Depot agree that 19's are OK up to around 310hp or so and then its time for 24s or larger and a lot of them have faster N/A cars than a lot of the forced-induction cars on Stangnet.

    That place is great. I've ordered 4 times and never been disappointed. BTW, this is why they make beaters.

    Reducing resonance from Magnaflows...

    I second low tolerance. My GT had the stock midpipe and Magnaflow catback after exhaust change #3 in the summer of '03. It was by far the quietest V8 I've ever owned aside from the stock catback which lasted all of 800 miles. Even my 2 Formulas were louder stock at steady cruising speeds than...

    A few things wrong with my brand new 04 GT..

    Does your sticker actually show that the car came with traction control? I liked mine so well, I had it turned off when the car was dynotuned.

    long tube install help?

    You will need a new mid-pipe. Some people have had their stock mid-pipe cut down, but its more beneficial for power to get a good off-road or even a high-flow catted version. That way you don't end up with some hack-job looking exhaust system. The catback portion of the exhaust is fine and...

    How 'bout that traction control?

    I liked my traction control so well, that I had it locked out with my dynotune.

    shocks/struts

    GR-2s are OK if you are using stock springs. They'll blow out just as quickly as your stockers if you put lowering springs on them. I've had H&R Supersports and Mach I shocks and struts for 1.5yrs and that is a great budget combo. $179 for the shock/strut set and $220 for the springs. Add...

    Headswap break in time and some ?'s

    Also, with the OEM PI cams, you could be a tooth off on one of the sprockets and it would run "OK" but be down on power a little and run a little rough. It would also probably cause it to throw a CEL from the camshaft sensor. Just a thought.

    Advice on Cams and P & P Heads

    Your MAF should be fine. Here is some interesting reading by someone who knows: http://forums.modulardepot.com/showthread.php?threadid=25092&highlight=maf However, the injectors are an odd thing. Some guys with p/p heads and cams have needed to go to 24s. Also, the current thing many of...

    Roll-cage questions

    I know my car isn't currently quick enough to need one, but I'm hoping to get deeper into the twelves N/A this coming year. Then, if I get some juice later :D Anyhow, what this all leads to is that one of my mods this winter will be a rear seat delete. I like to TopLine kit on Partshopper...

    Here is what I have on my N/A car... what else can I do for more HP?

    I know its cheaper to do a 5.0L, but I don't care for the older SN95s that much and although there are some sweet fox bodies, by the time I had one professionally painted (and body work done), made the interior livable, and put a nice set of wheels on it on top of all the motor work and...

    "you're arguement that 4.6's are "nicer" so thats why you mod them is ridiculous. is your objective to go fast, or just to have a dyno queen? I can just as easily take my wife out somewhere nice, drive it to school, take a trip in it, or head to the track and click off high-12's (hopefully...

    Can a head/cams 2valve outrun a bolt on 4valve

    If the 4v is in a Cobra, loan him some slicks so it breaks a half-shaft off the line. Cammed 2v wins. I hate downtime at the track for broken Cobras :nonono: In all reality, it would be a driver's race especially since the 4v wouldn't have the optimum gearing.

    Cams! Please help

    Springs are extra insurance. I'd rather spend $190 on springs than replace the shortblock. VT has the best reputation as far as very few quality issues. Comp on the other hand has had some issues with PTV contact (on the 270s) due to a 5* advance that they were grinding into their cams to...
