    You can get a pretty good sounding bolt on kit from Mac, Ford Racing, and some other companies that bolts right to the Y-pipe. It doesn't offer as much horsepower as using true dual, but still sounds good.

    Street racing?!?!?

    Being a street racer I don't think is great, but the random kills are fun. But going over 80 I would condone, traffic conditions I am very against. The "run" with the Lightning (he probably thought I was a 4.6 cause it does not sound stock with my rusted out muffler) was up to 70 in a 55, he cut...

    Only $15 for me to race unlimited times at the track between 5pm and 1am on Fridays. Waiting to install pully before the next run.

    for a 99, you would have to look at SCT or Diablo. Superchips only makes tuners that work on 2004 and up cars, a 2005 tuner wont work. SCT, Diablo, and Hypertech are the only 3 who have tuners for the 99 mustang, but I have no heard any good things on Hypertech so I wouldn't bother with them.

    Street racing?!?!?

    I say if weather conditions are favorable, traffic is none and it's a 2+ lane highway where I know cops are scarce, I'm good to go lol. Sadly my 4 banger got more races than my sixer.

    Theres also the light system to give a non-bias start for both parties, and a timer to declare how much a person won by.

    If the headlights are smoked, you can sometimes pick up a cheap headlight restoration kit, or read this post on howto clean headlights cheaply: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=607491&highlight=headlight But if you do go with lights, clear corners or smoked lenses are nice, but some...

    And use 5w30 oil and I found 2 part numbers for oil filters: Mobil 1 Model M1-209; Fram Model PH3600 really your choice, I know some people say just go with fram, why bother spending the extra.

    In 95, yes it was still a T5. My 93 got pretty good milage, but it took more pedal to speed up as fast as my sixer. 2.73 is slower than 3.73 (gear swap? 93 manuals came with 3.55 I thought, my auto is 3.73), but your also going from 105hp to 150hp. And some nice 170-180 ft-lbs of torque.

    You'd probably see a good 22-26mpg as long as you maintain proper driving habits, so you might be able to get well over 300, nearing 400, miles out of a tank of gas. I went 2 weeks with proper driving when I was doing 10 miles city (20-35mph) and 5 miles highway (50-60mph), and managed to get...

    Im New to the V-6 Forums and the Car too.

    As long as you don't keep the gas near the floor, gas milage is good. Some people have gotten 30-32mpg on highway before, which should be even easier with the 2.73 gears. I get about 20 with about 4 miles a day city type and 5 miles highway type a day, but my weighted foot mod can do that...

    Needs an amp. Mine does the same thing, but I got a 400w amp and 2 10" subs in the back that still need to be wired in. I don't listen to it LOUD, but I do like a good beat and a better quality of sound.

    I could run mid-15s with 1 mod done that gave me 2hp, so probably high 15s - low 16s stock if I could get the traction at a track. 16.5 is an estimated, calculated value through a theoretical formula made by averaging many cars at 77 degrees F, an altitude of 900 feet, and 50% humidity with a...

    Wider tires, suspension and a limited slip differential, those will increase traction alot. I have a 2000 auto and have the same problem, spin the tires on every take off. Put the throttle about half way and when your moving without tire spin, then floor it. You just really have to learn the...

    I had a coke spill in mine =(. It was so sad cause it was me. I sat a coke down on my chair, and the wind comes and knocks it over and the lid falls off with the coke ALL over my seat. Good thing I got stuff to clean car seats.
