    Mustang Dynamometer?

    Mustang dyno. They are different from the more traditional Dynojets, and yes, they give lower readings.

    98 pistons on a 2001 shortblock?

    You don't need to overbore an engine unless there is obvious damage to the sleeves, but most engine builders would highly recommend a small overbore in order to have a fresh sealing surface. That having been said, there is a big difference in spending the money for a basic rebuild with a 0.020"...

    Cobra and GT

    The mid-pipe could probably work or be made to work, but the cat-back on a Cobra is a completely different geometry because of the different suspension configuration from your GT.

    Help with 98 Cobra Needed!

    Also sounds like a flaky IAC valve. Usually they simply die and that's all she wrote, but I have seen them cling to life for a while and give symptoms like you describe.

    Romeo or Windsor or both?

    Again, only 1999 and 2000 Mustangs are Windsor engines. The 01 and later cars are REP motors. You have an REP motor.

    98 Cobra or 03 GT?

    I was faced with the same decision, and swapped my 99 GT for a 98 Cobra. Glad I did, but its all personal preference. The money was about the same, the Cobra was a better car to start from, and the exclusivity had some value for me. Either way you will have a solid car. BTW- Modular2V, I...

    SOHC and DOHC blocks the same??

    Agreed. Certainly an affordable option.

    maybe someone can help me....

    #1. Never trust a dealer. Ever. #2. Take it someplace that does engine work. Can you get back to Larocca's? Blown engines are usually damaged sufficiently that you TOW them to the dealer. #3. A tapping in the valvetrain area could simply be a lifter that hasn't pumped up causing a little...

    question dont hate me

    That's a dumb idea. Be smarter to simply buy a used Fox body and fix it up.

    Another dam gear question!

    Are we talking apples to apples here? No matter what changes you make to the ring and pinion in the differential housing, the change will be a global change that affects all the drive ratios equally. 1st gear will be affected as much as 5th gear. The only way to accomplish the change you...

    Another dam gear question!

    Yes, that is a possibility, but in this case you would need to modify the gear cluster in the transmission case instead of just the final drive ratio.

    Will it work?

    Sure. All you need is to build the exhaust plumbing to allow the thing to spin. Set up an oil feed and return, build yourself a new intake tract, and fabricate whatever bracketry is required to relocate accessories that are in the way and you are home free! On a more serious note, to learn a...

    Anybody ran an underdrive crank pulley to lower boost?

    No reason why you couldn't although most people would simply run a larger blower pulley.

    Camshaft install writeup?

    Where does your car stand now? I would do all the bolt-ons before I spent the money on induction mods of that level of investment.

    fan control switch

    I did it for my old 99 GT. Its an EASY mod to do. If you leave the fan on HI during long trips you can eventually toss a Check Engine light for 'High fan current' but thats about it. Its a great mod for cooling down in the staging lanes.

    Does any one have 4.10's and know the top speed?

    Because we know that 260 hp is not enough grunt to overcome the evenutal wind resistance. A stock Mustang is drag-limited, not redline limited. The 4.10s should allow you to pull more, assuming you can get the car into the powerband (when you shift to 5th its possible to drop the car too low in...

    Financing my performance...

    There are two, sometimes three, things that you should buy on long-term credit. 1. Houses 2. Education 3. Cars, if you have to. Anything else financed longer than 30 days is asking for trouble. I spent 3 years of my college career wanting to spend every dollar I had on Mustangs, and much...
