It looks exactly the same as before lol. But u can really see the different in person! I cleaned up the wiring and its painted. And it runs alot different!

it will **** and get and still looks as plain and mellow as before!
its incredible how much power the car picked up> my friend has a ported P head, ported cobra, lunati cam and it runs nice. my car with ported stock runs about the same, IF NOT better. and mine sounds super nice with the bullets on it! i have had lots of people comment and gawk in less that one day!

let me know what u think!
later

lookin good
you should REALLY scrape, or kinda sand off that A/C tubing in the front...the paint on mine practically fell off with some scraping, and then clean up that rad hose

mine looks kinda like yours before its shined up and those 2 things would help tremendously..

You like your AC?

You like your smog?

If you do, cool, if not lose them. They help a decent amount when racing the car.

is it really that much of a difference? hey foxfan...how long did it take tmoss to port your lower? and you know what i think? i think you should GET TO THE TRACK!
 
i like the AC, i left he pump only on, it does nothing but rotate, i was having trouble finding a belt for it. so i decided to save 40$, i knew it wasnt going to make much of a difference.
All the tubing is gone and the thermactor port is plugged on the heads. The pump i guess is just shooting air randomly or something.
 
i'd rather have a nice cool A/C for the hot days, as my stang is my DD for now. I was going to delete it b4 i got it recharged, i got ti charged recently and it grew on me lol.

Sure the A/C delete would free up some weight and look clean and whatnot, but i dont think thats enough to justify doing it. You wont notice a difference, no point in giving the nice air up.

i plan to buy a little s10 dd here soon. So as the stang progresses more and more into a side deal and weekend drag car rather than the DD, i might start taking the stuff off.
 
Yeah my car is not a DD, and personally when Im driving it its only for fun and Id rather have the windows down then. I got rid of it a long time ago, and missed it maybe 5 times. If you like it, then dont worry. Just if you want every bit for the 1/4, it helps!

Id get a smog elim kit because eventually your smog pump will seize up and leave you stranded... I hate those things!
I would just get the 84.5" short belt and not even worry about a delete kit. Should be a little bit cheaper and you can eliminate one whole pulley.
 
If you like the ac dont do it, I didnt notice a big difference but I finished taking out all the lines and condensor and actuator on my car after i took out the ac and smog, i run a 74.5" short belt, and my engine spins noticibly faster, and better throttle response. Im disapointed you had the engine out of your car and you didnt hide any wires? Man im going to start hiding wires and such in my car id love to have the engine out to do all that and paint the engine bay. But looks pretty good, im ready to see the 12's.
