    Bone stock 2002 4.6 Cobra need performance upgrades

    I’d avoid the spacer. Boltons only add a couple horse power. They are easy to do but the cost adds up. What are your goals and budget for the car? That should drive what you want to do with it.

    There is still fun watching people’s builds. :)

    PCV routing question

    The amount of vacuum before the supercharger is not worth it IMO. I let it passively vent to the atmosphere and change my oil regularly.

    PCV routing question

    Having it connected to the intake causes positive pressure to enter the crankcase (not what you want). The easiest solution is to go to a passive solution. I’d disconnect the PCV system from the intake (block off the ports on the intake). Run lines from each of the valve covers to a catch can...

    PBR brake calipers

    In a single braking episode - just a little difference: GT brakes are rated 60-0 in 131 ft. Cobra brakes are 60-0 in 127 ft. As the speeds climb and you have repeat braking - the cobra brakes will not fade as quickly - the will have a greater advantage due to their larger rotors.

    T-45 to TR3650 swap for a 2000 mustang GT

    What are you aiming to accomplish? What mods do you have? Is your current T-45 having issues or is there a feature of the TR-3650 you are looking for? I just upgraded to a T-56. If you are able to afford better - I would look at the T-56. :nice:

    Lower HP expected from 2002 mustang?

    They are probably shorty headers with those numbers (allows you to keep the stock midpipe). I’d get rid of the spacer (adding more pre TB intake length does nothing for a fuel injected car, spacers are from the carburetor era). Full boltons and a tune will put you at around 260rwhp on a...

    Better Seating Position for 2000 GT?

    I’m two inches shorter than you. I didn’t like the high seating position and lack of side bolstering. I eventually got some corbeau fx1 seats with corbeau seat mounts. So much better - you feel like you are sitting in the car rather than the weird ergonomics of sitting on a phone book. I was...

    Opinions on superchargers

    Centri blowers are a blast too. Most of it comes down to how you drive it, what your goals are, and what sound you want to listen to. There are no bad options. Everything has pros and cons. Personally I love my centri supercharger. Plenty of power with that classic whine - Perfect for a...

    2000 Mustang GT slow acceleration

    Best to methodically troubleshoot with a Haynes, chilton, or similar car manual dedicated towards our vehicles. Best to work through the problem systematically and not just throw random parts at the problem / waste money. Poor acceleration can be a number of simple fixes like vacuum leaks all...

    Opinion thread headers

    Longtubes with a matching midpipe is the way to go for your plans. Recommendations: 1) Get quality longtube headers (stainless steel) with quality coating (ex: mine are ceramic coated). 2) Get headers that have good clearance (ex: to drop the transmission for a clutch if it is a manual car)...

    373 or 390 gears in a 2002 gt

    Everyone has a different opinion about gears. It is just math and picking what you are comfortable with: Assuming stock tire height- 4.10’s: Top of 4th, 1/4 mile max trap = 117mph; 70mph cruising in 5th = 2,300rpm 3.90’s: Top of 4th, 1/4 mile max trap = 123mph; 70mph cruising in 5th = 2,150rpm...

    24lb injectors

    Stock MAF is best for cams + boltons.

    Worth upgrading new edge or should save for newer mustang

    Another alternative is to buy a daily driver. I decided to keep my new edge and get a sporty daily driver. Allows you to do what you want to the mustang without being out a car / having to compromise.

    Hemi vs sn95

    Magnum is ~800 lbs heavier and makes ~340hp at the flywheel. Should be a close race with a near full Bolton mustang assuming driver skill and traction are similar. Full boltons and hi tech (assuming their stage 2 cams) would definitely put you ahead. You should compare now and compare post mods.

    Bolt on mods

    I’d check that all your maintenance is up to date. After that there are tons of options depending on what your goals are. Suspension and chassis stiffening help it drive better, exhaust makes it sound better, and there are plenty of other ways to get after it.

    Definitely agree. 10.5 and all those rich symptoms is no good. A little more air will help out. :nice:
