    PI swap mods

    I'm getting the PI heads and intake swapped onto my 96GT the first week of June. The heads are stage II P&P from steen and stage II cams from VT and will be getting a dyno tune when done.

    D.S.S. motors and strokers

    I posted a thread recently about what to build if you had some cash to burn and now it is time to finalize the ideas. I was thinking of using either a cobra motor or a new assembly for my 96GT but I can't make the decision. I am looking at D.S.S. motors and thinking of using the 4.6 Pro...

    Hypothetical motor question, let's dream!

    Okay, say I have a 96 GT-which I do. Also, let's say I want some awesome power that will light up LS1's and hopped imports. Would it be better and more cost effective to purchase a used 4.6 and then mod it or one already built from a dealer? Also, could you get big power by staying NA or do...

    New Rotors question for 96 GT

    I want to go ahead and replace my stock rotors and wonder if there are any that don't rust easily. Also, on ebay you can buy slotted rotors for $140 a set. Are these good to get or should cheaper rotors be avoided? Also, does anybody make some decent powder coated calipers or is it just as...
