    Tomorrow she shines!

    Zaino may not give your the best and deepest shine of all the products out there, but out of all the products out there, it is the easiest to put on and off, and lasts considerably longer than most. Did my car 2 weeks ago using the ZPC to get rid of the swirls, Z5, then the last coat of Z2, and...

    Superchargers and driving in rain

    Mine has been completely fine through a many of downpours. And I don't see any reason to get into boost in the rain for that matter. My filter actually sits up above the plastic fender lining though. You can always get: http://www.outerwears.com/splash.html to go over your filter. Should...

    New Additions to my Stang

    You get the power gains from the Plenum, not the TB. If you do the TB buy itself, you won't gain much if anything at all. On a near mildly modded car, the TB is not the bottle neck, which means there isn't much to be gained from getting a bigger one.

    New Additions to my Stang

    Get mid or longtube headers, shorties don't buy you much over stock. Mid-pipe: Flowmaster doesn't make an h-pipe but that is going to largely depend on your catback in terms of what will sound and flow the best. Usually, straight through catback warrants an x-pipe, and chambered likes the...

    Went for Dyno

    Well before you blindly go replacing things, go through the normal checks (i.e. replace fuel filter, put a fuel pressure reader when on a dyno, or get a fuel pressure gauge which would be a good idea for you anyways with cams, pull and check plugs, etc). Also, are you rev'ing to 6000 or 6500...

    Went for Dyno

    I would suspect the fuel pump, but I would first put a fuel pressure monitor on the fuel rail to see what is actually happening with the pressure. If it drops off, then they fuel pump is more than likely it. If it was something consistent with the exhaust, you would see losses throughout the...

    03 vert with a 418w stroker, and 4r70w tranny, what rear gear should i run?

    A locker on the street??????? I assume you are referring to a locker that you can open for street duty which actually will hurt traction more than help. Just look into a good LSD through Eaton. The the rwhp and rpm you are referring to, I wouldn't think anything more than 3.55's or you may...

    Changed my emblems (pics) + need opinions

    Pony on the rear looks good, but the 281 doesn't IMO. Keep the ponies or even the 05+ GT emblems look pretty good on the 99+ cars.

    Lost HP/TQ with longtubes

    :stupid: You are close enough to one of the best tuners in the country. Would be well worth the trip down to ATL to have him tune the car (Tim Barth at Modular Powerhouse)

    Strut tower brace: MM or Steeda?

    MM would get my vote and was what I had before the blower.

    Lost HP/TQ with longtubes

    Very unusual, b/c despite popular belief LT's actually give you can in both tq/hp down low as well as up high. The dyno's I have when I was n/s proved that. With LT's though, that is a big enough difference to where a new tune is necessary. Once it gets retuned, the numbers will show a gain...

    Ricer Story. You guys will LOVE the ending. ;-)

    For sure you did those people a dis-service by not sticking around and being a witness. Regardless of what is easy to prove, having a witness will make it easier for the other people to get their vehicle repaired or compensation (auto and/or medical) when there is a police report and witness...

    heads and cams. or blower

    blower for sure...trust me, you won't look back.

    How do I NOT become this guy...

    Not even close to being true as well. Why would you have to have a diff. rebuild just b/c of the blower install? You can break the stock diff. internals on the stock power, so does that mean all stock cars need a rebuild? Tune is included in the price of the Mongoose kit, and I'm able to...

    I am looking at a 2004 GT, let me know if this is the wrong place to post...

    Coming from a blown 2v, I'd say go for (in this order): LS2 GTO Mach 1 LS1 GTO 2v The LSx engines just have so much potential with the heads/cam options out there it's ridiculous. Buddy of mine has TEA Ported TFS Heads-ECS Cam and they are a big reason why he is putting down just shy of...

    NO SALES IN THE FORUMS

    wrong forum, but probably would help if you put your location as well ;)

    Weird Whining noise...

    I would agree with this as well. I'm having the exact same issue, but am waiting to gather up all the monies in order to upgrade the axles and dif. all at the same time.

    How do I NOT become this guy...

    That is mis-information at it's finest. The Mongoose kit comes with everything needed to install a s/c and get it running for $3900 (minus KB b/c they won't allow drop shipments of their blowers so they have to be installed by MPH). From the site: MPH has developed this kit to offer the 2...

    How do I NOT become this guy...

    well one of the best ways is to get into contact with Modular Powerhouse and get their Mongoose kit. There are 100s of his kits on stock blocks (including my own) who's power ranges from 350-425rwhp. So far not a blown engine (that I'm aware of) and his tunes are regarded as being really safe...
