    Will Heads, Intake, Headers Get Me 100 Hp

    On an otherwise all stock '95 gt. I'm talking at the flywheel. I was thinking gt40 intake, shorty headers and the procomp 190 cc heads, 1.7 rockers on the stick cam. What do you guys think?

    Should I Buy The 95 5.0 Or The 96 4.6?

    Overall both cars are in the same condition, same mileage, both autos, within $200 of each other. My goal is to have a fun street car and it will most likely never be raced. I will be doing the work on these myself. Most mods will be very mild. No strokers or superchargers. I'd be willing to do...

    Do I Have To Tune If I Swap In A Stock 5.4 2v

    I have a 2001 GT that has developed a low end knock. I have sitting in my garage a low mileage 5.4 from a 2002 F150 that was intended to go into another truck I had. If I replace the 4.6 with the 5.4 will I have to get it tuned? Please keep in mind that this is by no means a race car. It's an...

    Would Advancing Stock Cams Give Me More Power?

    Would advancing the stock PI cams give me any more low end or mid range power? I'm replacing the motor in my 01 GT due to a thrown rod. My plans are full or mid length headers, full exhaust, pullies, CAI gears and probably a tune. This would be perfect time to throw in some cams but the cost is...

    01 Gt,,,thrown Rod,,,another 2v Or Mark 8,,,i Can't Decide

    This is strictly a street car and is automatic. I plan to do cams, headers, CAI, exhaust and maybe pullies on the 2v if that is the route I go. Headers, CAI,exhaust and maybe a cobra intake on the 4v if that is the route I go. The swap seems pretty straight forward and I can get low mileage Mark...

    Thinking About Buying A 5.0 Would Gears Help Mileage......

    I commute 80 miles per day all highway 65-70 mph so mileage is a big factor. I can't find one solid reason not to buy a new v6 other then it's not a v8. My concern is I will regret not getting the v8 (cause I'm old and old school) but then will kick my own arse when all I do is drive the car...

    Anybody Commute With Their Mustang....

    I need to replace my Focus and have been considering a new or newer mustang vert with the 3.7 sixxer. I had an '02 Gt vert but with a young family and a 80 mile round trip commute everyday it never was driven so we traded it off on a new car for my wife. Any ideas what mileage might look like in...

    Anybody Run Rotrex Supercharger

    I've been looking at going forced induction on my 08 gt. Only racing is road course stuff with the local club just for fun. Anyway I'm on a budget and was looking at a used Roush M90 kit when I came across the rotrex. Spoke with the guys at forced air and they told me that the stage 2 would make...

    I'm stuck guys,,,2010 427R or 2011 GT

    I'm going to be buying a mustang, and was looking around this weekend. I ran across a 2010 427R with 2000k for $40k at a Ford dealership. A new GT prem will run almost that much (convertible). I can't make a decision here. The new 5.0 is only 20 hp off of the 427R,,,torque I don't know?? This...

    Do I need new valve springs?

    HI I've got a 351W out of an 89 F150. I have a Summit cam duration 204/214 Lift .448/.472 RPM band is 1500-4000. Could I use this cam with the stock springs? Do you think it would be an improvment over the stock cam? BTW this is going into another truck Thanks Bob

    can I get 300-325 fwhp without a cam swap?

    I was thinking about going with cobra intake, headers, exhasut, pullies, cai, 1.7 roller rockers, and some aftermarket heads. This is on a 94 gt. Would this get me there? If so what heads should I use? Thanks

    Fox Cobras

    How many years did Ford make a fox cobra. I was thinking that it was only '93. Were they 4 or 5 bolt wheels? 4 wheel disk brakes? Theres a guy running around here with a 90 vert says cobra all over it and he says its a cobra, but it has rear drums and was an auto, but its been coverted to manual...

    Intake ?

    Yes I did a search and got alot of info, but it seems one thread would contradict another soooooo. When it comes to intakes the GT-40 and Explorer are the same. Both are better then the Cobra. Am I right? How much hp will all of these support out of box. Thanks Bob

    Wanting 300 rwhp

    I've decided to keep my fox body. What I have is an unabused completely stock '87 GT Vert Auto. If I went with AFR 165 heads, shorty headers, cobra intake, larger throttle body and a 2.5" aftermarket exhaust all on the stock short-block would I get close to 300 RWHP? If not what else would I...

    dual quad manifold

    Does anybody make a dual quad manifold for 302 that actually performs well? The only one I can find is the Edelbrock F-28 and it just doesn't look to be a very good performer to me. Thanks Bob

    AFR heads but what cam?

    Hi all, I'm building a 302 for a '71 Maverick I have. I've decided on the AFR 165's Non Emissions heads and a dual plane intake like a Performer RPM or a Weiand Stealth. But I can't decide on a cam. I'd like a some what lumpy idle but still maintain good street manners. I have a B cam...
