    building an engine

    Save somemoney and replace the internals. The stock 4.6 block can take a lot of abuse. I've read anywhere from 1000 to 1200 hp, so I think you're safe with the block. Increase the internals and the crank to forged and call it a day. Spend the cash you save from buying a new block for cams...

    kennebell 2.2 or a twin turbo

    I'd say go with the KB 2.2....but am I the only one who want to S/C their car without the S/C whine? How quiet is the KB below 3500 rpms?...sorry to highjack :D ...to me the best sound is that of the exhaust, not that coming out of the hood compartment.

    I agree and disagree. Agree: If you're not going to bump up the power, then there's no need to bump up the braking power Disagree: If you're gonna bump up the power eventually then yeah go for it. But if you only want to make your car look cool, then go for it if you have money to...

    LS1 in a mustang

    That Shelby engine will sure be freaking sweet...speaking of day dreaming about sweet engines, I heard a guy at the local muscle car hangout fire up a Chevy 572 in his 55 Chevy and ...uhm...I knew right then and there that 9 Liters sounds like God was pounding at the ground looking for asses to...

    LS1 in a mustang

    Hey man, do your thing. It's your money and your car. You asked the question to know if anyone else had done it and to get input on alternatives. I'm guessing you didn't start the thread to be called a traitor or what not. Some people are closed minded and others are not. I love...

    Flowmaster 1 chamber mufflers

    Most likely your 40 series violate the noise ordinance of where you live, so might as well get the 1 chambers :D . Tickets are handed out when you're being stupid. While in town, watch for cops, shift into 3rd or 4th when you see them, keep your revs below 2200. If none are to be seen and you...

    Stroker kit plus a supercharger

    Uhmm.........wait....let me digest that.......uhm..... :shock: What kind of supercharger you got on that thing?...you've both made my day and ruined it with your super awesome engine. What does your power curve look like if you don't mind.

    Stroker kit plus a supercharger

    Hey everyone, I'm day-dreaming again about when I'll eventually be able to afford to put real power into my car. So anyone running or have advice on stroking the 4.6 to a 5.0 and then putting a blower on it? I'm asking because since I would rebuild the engine with forged internals and...

    Unspent Fuel Smell with o/r H pipe

    Unless you have leaks or turndowns/dumps beneath the car, the smell of gas/exhaust should not reach you if you've got the windows up at a stop or driving along. Sorry to hear that about your wife though. In her case cats would definitely be the way to go.

    Just got my Mac O/R H Pipe Installed

    Mine goes on Saturday...CANNOT WAIT...and your last question applies to me as well. I'll try and post a video once it's done or a sound clip or ask one our fine fellow Stangers to host it for me. what kind of mufflers or catback you running now?

    Anyone have Spintech pro streets & O/R X?

    Got the Pro Streets and love them. Gonna swap my custom X pipe (welded in after the stock cats where the factory H used to be) for the O/R H sitting in my closet pretty soon. But at around 3500 rpms with the catted X so far, it freaking howls, my favorite RPM spot so far in terms of...
