    Brakes Steering Wobble

    I've been scratching my head on this one for a while finally addressing it. My car has had a slight wobble upon initial braking pretty much since I bought it, never gotten worse.

    Engine 700hp Block Choices....

    I'm going to start building another motor with hopes of 600-700hp. Curious on thoughts of what would be a good block choice. Go new from ford, used cobra, or aluminum from an explorer. I plan on building it myself so buying a short block from wherever really isn't where I wanna go with it. Any...

    Cervinis Cobra R Bumper...

    I am trying to find out what fog lights are used with this. They say there are posts already in the bumper for ford lights....so I'm assuming theyre for the 99-01 cobra lights. I.can't see spending $200 on a pair of fog lights from them.

    Forced Induction Anyone Boosting and Spraying Nitrous???

    I'm entertaining the idea of getting another motor and building an MMR900 4.6. Bumping my boost up (probably just keep the eaton unless I find a bigger blower cheap), and adding like a 150-200 shot strictly for the track. Anybody running something similar? Thoughts? I'm calling my tuner Monday...
