    Dyno run on out of box 393

    Thanks for the tips. The reason I haven't chucked the stock tube yet is because I will need a custom one made, since I have hood clearance issues. I have the Factory Capri hood scoop that I really like, but it is not quite wide enough and actually hits the air tube about 1.5" from the TB. And I...

    Best Shocks for the money?

    I've got KYB's front and rear on mine and they get the job done well enough. Doesn't seem to be much in mid grade shocks. Either pay through the nose for top of line stuff, or SOL. KYB's are perfect for the daily abuser that aint a racer. :nice:

    Overheating!!!

    Raging- Same delima here when i first fired up my 393. Temp would shoot up to 260, and hangout. I thought I had filled the radiator too. I removed my top radiator hose, and noticed that the hose was dry. Removed t-stat housing, still no water. Kinked upper hose, and wrapped a rag around my air...

    Dyno run on out of box 393

    Well got my 393 running, and took it to a dyno for a baseline run. This was with 0 tuning. Stock A9P, 13 base timing, about 40psi fuel. Oh yeah, and for now, stock airbox and rubber tube between MAF and TB. Max RWHP: 343@5150 RWTQ : 414@2750 Not so happy with the HP, but pleasantly...

She don't idle for beans, but that is to be expected at this level of mods. ust need to get'er chassis tuned now. Not getting a check engine light, so must...

    393 finally done, won't start!!

    Thanks for the tips so far. I have only checked for TDC once, while the motor was out, and left it there unitl I stabbed the dist. I have also tried 180 out, and got a few more coughs, and one thorugh the intake. so I put it back. I have checked the firing order more times than rainy days in...

    393 finally done, won't start!!

    Alright, I need some of your guys expert advice here. After about 4 years, and roughly $7,000(I lost track) my 393 is done, and in the car. :D Get everything hooked up, plugged in, and go to fire it up, and nothing. It coughs every now and then, but that is it. I have checked compression, which...

    Who owns an 05 as their first Ford/Mustang?

    Wow, Almost four months and still going! I am in San Diego a day away from leaving to Kuwait for 8 months and decided to stop in. Was surprised to see this thread still hanging around. :D My yellow 05 was my first new car ever, and like others here, I had NO interest in any new car, until...

    Help, I cant stop driving my 05!!

    Won't happen that quick. It has taken 25 years of selling 100,000+(average)a year to get the fox body as common as they are.

    Help, I cant stop driving my 05!!

    Congrats, I know what you mean. I have had the same experiance with mine. :D , And I can't think of any other similarly priced new car that gets as much attention as the New Stang. While yes it will be short lived, maybe a few months, but for now I know what it must be like to own an exotic...

    Diablo uses my 05 for a test car for the PREDATOR

    Ford can, will, and does void engine warranty's for a flash or tuner. Just go over to the Diesel sites and see for yourself. In the diesel world tuning is HUGE, worth easy gains of at least 100hp and 200lb-ft of torque. The new 6.0L PSD's had a lot of problems when they came out and Ford voided...

    BS or what?

    Actually, not to spur the panic, but I am almost willing to bet that the demand gets worse before the supply gets better. In the beginning it has been mostly the core stang enthusiasts that have been driving the sales, but as more and more of the general public sees these things, I think there...

    3 month wait for GT in San Diego!

    I am sure you are absolutely right, but hey resale only matters if you plan to sell it. Besides, it doesn't matter what new car it is, you will take a BIG loss on it, which is the reason this is the First new car I have ever had. Finally, there is a car that IMO, was worth buying new. :D...

    Who owns an 05 as their first Ford/Mustang?

    I know most of us who have an 05 are dedicated knuckle dragging Mustang nuts, but I am curious if we have any new converts. Someone who wasn't even looking at a Mustang or Ford line until the 05's came out?

    3 month wait for GT in San Diego!

    Pretty much. I paid MSRP for mine, and feel very lucky to even have one. Mine was $30,475, fully loaded, every option available, except the red interior accent. I usually refuse to pay full price on anything, but made an exception in this case, and have no remorse for doing so. Just happy to...

    And now... a completely hypothetical question...

    WHat the hey, I'll jump into this too. DING DING DING, we have a winner. :D Absolutely the public is so tired of the boring jellybean cars it aint funny. Doesn't matter how well executed it may be, then have no personality. The 300/magnum is still a bean, but a unique cool looking bean...

    the competition

    Out of the box, the EVO's performance can't be ignored. It is simply awesome. But as mentioned, there is NO style to them. And they already have all aftermarket parts, boosted and etc. I am biased also, but the Mustang is the best looking car under 100k, period. The general response I get from...
