    suspension alignment ? w/ coilovers

    you istall you CC plates backwards did you? you can take the top pieces and spap them side to side to give you the abilty to dial in different alinemnt settings. It talks about it in the instructions. it may have needed to be done I had just not heard of notching the struts befrore with CC...

    Custom Intake Manifold

    no way you will get one done for $400 IMO. I think you are dreaming if you think you can build a one off prototype intake and nail the power curve on the first attempt. if you did get it done for $400 (which I see no way to) I think you would loose power unless you designed it so you could...

    Want a mach one, not enough money =(

    I was looking at mach 1's for a wile. you can find them for less than 20k. I found a couple in the 18.5k to 19.5k range. mach 1 5speed is a low 13 sec car. it takes some money to get a gt into the low 13 seconds. if you are going to buy a gt buy an older one for like 12k then mod it. if...

    I paid $194 for my 31 spline trac lok new. rebuild kit cost $50 the diff is going to cost you something so you just have to decide if it is worth loking around for it. the new 3 pinion tru trac is supposed to be stong too but it is $435 and there will be some extra noise at it is gear driven...

    Aftermarket cats and VRS stainless pipes

    x-pipe it will sound good with the magnaflow catback. it will be a bit a bit quiter for sure. just go to mustang exhaust and listen to the clips of the magnaflow catback with thier catted x. sound wise it should be almost identical. it would be cheaper to do the cats in the mac pipe but I...

    How much does being BORED add to cu in?

    yes incresing bore size does increase displacement. you engines stroke and the cylinder bore determin the engines displacement. you could calculate it based on adding .060 to the stock bore size of a 396 and then throw in the stroke. you basically just have to calculate the volume of the...

    Couple of ??? about wheel/tire size!!

    I think 18's look better for sure. they can be heavier though. then agian some aftermaket 17's can be heavier than stock as well. optimumly I would run a forged 18. lighter than you stock 17 looks fo the 18. problem is they are $400-500 a wheel.

    Next Mod - Suspension or Wheels?

    my .02 is do it all and do it right but if you shop for deals you can almost do it for the same price as the wheels and tires. that is unless you add the PHB. that will push you noth of the budget. Like i said I have about $1350 in my current setup and while I would not mind coilovers, PHB...

    Couple of ??? about wheel/tire size!!

    it is all about wheel weight and tire diameter. the heavier the wheel the more unsprung wieght you have and it will slow the car down a hair. adding tire diamter as well will raise the gear ratio a bit. if you run an light 18" rim with 35 series tire the effects should be hardly noticed at...

    How much will my speedometer be off installing my 3.90 gears?

    it will be like 10mph or so. it kind of varies based on speed and gear since it is rpm related. short story long you will not want to do it as it will add extra milage to you car. you can go to a gear calculator and figure you speed based on rpm. for example 70mph with with 3.90's is...

    VT cam guys....3 questions..??

    you should be very close. I have seen 25hp from those cams. the problem is you heads run out of flow and the stock intake roll off effeciency wise at high rpm where the cams are going to make the best power gains. also the auto costs you some on the dyno. you should be very close. I...

    suspension alignment ? w/ coilovers

    well when setting the ride height there are two things to consider. 1. looks 2. performace the way I under stand it is lowering the care much more than .75-1 lowers you roll center and will negetivly affect handling. 1" is not really enough to remove the 4x4 look. So I would most...

    Next Mod - Suspension or Wheels?

    I would do the subframes in reverse order if you have to. you really need LCA's. you don't realize how much lateral movement there in to the rear axel until you eliminate it. you car goes from massive oversteer in corners to be very predictable and fairly hard to get lose. I mean I have to...

    suspension alignment ? w/ coilovers

    If you daily driving I would just go with stock proably. the instructions for the MM CC plates have alinment recomendations. If you dial in to much negative camber to help you handling it will wear you tires fast. you usually run a different toe at the track as well that will wear you...

    FM american thunder

    it is a crossflow muffler as well I assume. that tames the sound. I have had magnaflow, borla, flowmaster, spintech on my iroc over the years. borla was the best overall. magnaflow was the worst. spintech the most wicked but it drones to. Flowmaster is just so widely used anymore I don't...

    FM american thunder

    I don't like magnaflow's sound much. they have packs and regular mufflers. I have tried to like them because they are a good deal but they just don't do it for me. sound is all taste. mustang exhaust has tons of clips. borla and bassani are where it is at if you want good sound and less...

    Next Mod - Suspension or Wheels?

    you have to decide on looks or function. I did wheels first but in hindsight I would have done suspention. I would definatly do suspention yourself but know that that if you only have a fixed amount to spend you really need LCA's and subframes to end up with a good handling car. spings and...
