    critique my 347 plan

    Just ordered my 347 stroker from Woody @ Ford Strokers. :flag: This is the plan - hope someone will chime in and not turn this into a 331 vs 347 debate.. For my 1995 Rio Red Cobra - keep in mind this is a street car, looking for usable TQ/HP from 1500 - 6500 RPM. -- 347 stroker...

    Strange door lock issue

    I believe it is the switch, but I want to get some other opinions before I drop $40 on the switch. Both door locks open & close correctly from the driver switch. From the passenger switch, they act like they aren't getting enough juice. They make a strange noise, then slowly open & close...

    Updated photos

    I finally accomplished a few things this weekend. I was originally going to keep the stock wheels, but 50resto had a killer Cyber Monday deal on a set of 18x9 SVE wheels and 265/35/18 tires for $799! Also added new black carpet, floor mats, new shifter boot and waiting for a set of BBK long...

    275 on front rubbing?

    Anyone else having rubbing issues with 275/40/17 up front? I'm hoping it's the tires rubbing and not the steering rack going back. Mounted on stock 17 cobra wheels.

    New project, 1995 Cobra

    Hi all, long time no post. I just purchased a 1995 Rio Red Cobra, 104,000 miles - mere sum of $4500. I thought it was a good deal : Bone stock with the exception of a shifter, x-pipe and mufflers. I am the third owner - the second owner had it for 7 years, and only put 20,000 miles on...

    Can't decide on a direction for the Stang

    Am I the only one suffering from this? There are too many damn different ways to customize these cars. Part of me wants to do a Mach I (03/04 style) with the shaker hood, flat black hood stripes, flat black spoiler, 18" mach wheels, rocker panel stripes and 1/4 louvers. The other part of me...

    Installed Supreme Performance exhaust

    I installed the Supreme Performance axleback kit yesterday. I was told that this is the same kit offered by Ford Racing (the 50 state legal kit) and also comes on the Shelby GT-H. The body of the muffler itself looks like the stockers, so it's possible these guys made the mufflers for the...

    Eh, finally gave in.

    Well, after owning several mustangs (02, 94, 87, 83, blah blah) I had finally gotten away from gas guzzlers (04 Civic). Damn Ford for coming up with the 0 % financing! Picked up this beauty for $23,000 + TTL. 5-speed premium with everything but the 18" wheels and side airbags. Love the car...

    Why doesn't my car make boost in 1st gear?

    I've noticed that my car isn't making boost in 1st gear. Once I get into 2nd, it starts to make 5-6 #. Is it because in 1st, it doesn't have time to make boost?

    Whelp, she made 349.9 / 348.9 at the wheels

    Got the car dyno tuned today @ PSI Motorsports in Webster, TX. She made 349.9 HP & 348.9 TQ at the wheels at approx 6 lbs of boost. Not sure what the reason for the low boost numbers are, and that was taking it all the way up to about 5800 - 6000 RPM. We also started getting detonation @ only...

    Lightning MAF ?? for Vortech owners

    I'll post this here since I got NO response in the power adder forum: I'm finally getting ready to do this install, but have a question. If using the stock air inlet tube on the Vortech V2-SQ kit, what will I need to match up the lightning mass air meter (90mm) to the inlet tube? I talked...

    Bought supercharger, couple of questions for Vortech owners

    Okay, just bought a "tuner" kit from a friend of mine, which included everything except for the discharge pipe (because he was running the aftercooler), which I didn't buy. Eventually I am planning on running an air/air intercooler, but for now am going to install the base kit as it comes...

    Novi 1000 question

    I'm looking at a used Novi 1000, but the kit is for 96-98 GT. What has to be changed to fit my 2002? Just brackets, etc? Or too much trouble?

    Need help with A/C drain

    Hey guys. I posted this in the 2.3 forum, but I figured the A/C drain is th same between the two. I just picked up a 1993 LX 2.3 as a daily driver. I've noticed that the passenger floor pan is getting wet when the A/C is running. Upon further inspection, I found that the drain is working...
