    So I bought a brand new fender

    Ordered it from a local place here Christmas eve. So when I have it off plan on getting rid of the intake silencer. Question though, would it hurt/help to extend a pipe from the fender where the intake goes in on the engine bay side to the bottom of the inside of my fender? Not taking the stock...

    The BF Goodwrenches are $82 a tire and the Yokohama's are $81 a tire. The BF's have a Uniform Tire Quality Grade of 340 AA A and the Yokohama's have a 420 A B, So the treadwear on the Yoko's are better but traction and temp ratings of the BF's are better. The BF also has a just a tad bigger foot...

    Just a rant

    I dont know if it bothers anyone else but wtf is up with exhaust companies. I understand r/d cost money and all but these people want like $190+ for a o/r x pipe. Nothing special but 2 pipes that cross each other. Does this not seem retarded? Headers I can understand being a little pricey...

    Anybody use a carb style intake

    With a adapter and throttle body? Kinda like GM did with the lsx style crate engine? The reason I ask is because all the efi style manifolds worth a crap seem to go for $350+ and I thought maybe this maybe a cheaper alternative.

    Question on exhaust

    Ok I plan on dumping my exhaust. I am going to get a pair of summit shirties and 2 1/2 inch piping back to about the fron seats then into a pair of mufflers and then dump the exhaust. I have a couple of questions being a noob to the 5.0 crowd. Am I loosing out by not running a X-Pipe setup...

    Are Flow Tech headers really that bad?

    The only reason I ask is because they are priced very low compared to some of the larger brands. I can get a set of long tube Flow Techs for around $150 or so vs say BBK's or Hooker's for well over $500. I understand they may not flow as much as the bigger brands but will I be cutting myself...

    Looking at dyno results in the dyno thread

    I noticed a few 5.0's making 190whp to 230whp with a ok list of bolt on type mods, even a couple rebuilt, slightly larger bore engines only making 230 to 250whp. But in the same sense I noticed alot of these numbers not seeming right with the track times and trap speeds they are listing. I mean...

    Newbie

    Hey guys thought I'd register and say hey. yes I'm a newbie to ford, mustangs, and the fox body. On Thursday I am going to pick up a 89 LX Notch SSP. I honestly have no idea what I am going to do with it. I am guessing my first mods are going to be exhaust, cold air intake, and a set of 1.7...
