    New here. Questions about my stang.

    Hey kids, long time FORD fanatic, just picked up my 6th Mustang. It's an 89 LX 5.0. I've had everything from a 68 GT350 to a 98 Cobra, but this is my first 5.0. I'm 51 years old and this is a 'project' car for me. Traded an old F250 straight up for it. Pretty straight, needs some restoration...

    Cams ???s re: Comp Xtreme

    Hey guys...looking into cams for the old 98. Comp cams offers one grind that sounds like a nice easy swap to me. Not too radical, no need for other mods, etc. I run 3:73s now, stock exhaust w/Flow 40s, turn downs, and a drop in K&N. I'm not going for a 1/4 mile car here...more of a...

    In Need of Exhaust Info Update Please

    Hey kids...can't really pinpoint the info I need. I hope you can help me? WHAT are the HP/TQ gains of running short tube headers and no cats? (**I'm in CA...willing to change mid-pipes back and forth, but not headers, so no full length tubes.**) I will build midpipes using some sort of...

    50+ HP increase for my 98 4V?

    Tell me how to get to this seemingly attainable goal. NO SPRAY! Boost? (Least expensive, most troublefree, driveable, good throttle response.) Must run with stock internals. Cams & heads? What exactly are my options here? Who does 4V cams? What can be done with my stock heads? What kinds...

    Value estimate needed please.

    I've been totally out of the older Mustang circles for about 3 or 4 years now. I'd like to know what you guys think my garage's 'resident project' would be worth if I wanted to sell it as-is. We're moving to San Antonio next year and I just don't think I care to haul it with me. It runs...

    Anyone have some insight as to why? It seems to only happen under no load/deceleration. Doesn't happen under firm acceleration. ? Appreciate any info on the problem. Thanks guys.

    My G-Tech Pro says 12.97...is it right?

    Hey kids, The new G-Tech Pro Competition I have show me a couple of 13 sec runs (best). Are these things even close to track times? I am VERY interested to know if these things produce ballpark numbers or not. If you have a G-Tech and track slips....PLEEEEEZE comment! Thanks a million!

    Another dumb one...8" whls...what will fit?

    Ok, this is obviously an "I wish I didn't have to buy wider wheels" question, but what can you really fit on a 17x8 stock Cobra R that will still look ok? Again, many thanks!

    When I drive too long at 4-5000 RPM, My 4V...

    ...seems not to like it!?! I get a 'check eng light'. What's up with that? I've been getting it since I got the car a month or so ago...I just assumed it didn't like the way I was driving it around at higher RPMs...NOW it's starting to get annoying. It clears itself after a day or two or...

    Camaro SS (??) whooped up on me last night.

    Came across a nice young guy last night in a Camaro SS (don't know what year) and we ran each other twice...First time I had the drop I guess, beating him to 2nd, then he pulls me by the length of his car, and I don't start catching up until almost 90 mph! Second time I got a little carried...

    Clutch chatter...Brand New Clutch!

    Ok, so I needed a new clutch. Having a problem with the arteries in my leg, I opted for the King Cobra kit for the easy pedal. Now, the clutch has some chatter when leaving in 1st gear! I hate this! I thought I was VERY easy on break-in. It now has about 350 miles on it...will the little bit...
