Dan DeSio at www.Pro-Dyno.net He's located in Fort Mill, SC - which is just across the state line south of Charlotte. It would be about a 3 hour drive for you, but Dan's worth it.
I can't agree with this statement enough. www.turbomustangs.com is a WONDERFUL site to help you figure out what kind of turbo setup will best suit your needs. The knowledge base there is overwhelming at first, but very helpful in the longrun.
For what its worth, the front mount turbos make...
no, the 99+ GTs all have 3.27:1 rear end gear ratios, whether they be automatics or manuals. Expect second gear to top out around 83 mph if its left completely stock (rear end gear, wheel/tire size, etc).
wow.
Like was said before, check out Modular Depot's article on aftermarket MAFs. The basic idea is that unless you are running a supercharger/turbocharger setup, you SHOULD NOT change out your stock MAF meter. Usually, those that put a bigger MAF on their cars experience rough idling...
Vert seats are MUCH lighter than a coupe's rear seat, especially the seat backs. Ours is just another pad hanging up in front the convertible top well. Very lightweight.
As for which is stronger, I dont know. You would have to ask the builder, Steve Shrader. You can email him at [email protected]
As for switching back, it is very easy, takes about 5-10 minutes to switch from one to the other. :nice:
If you want something to cover up that unsightly mess that doesnt add a lot of weight, check out www.rearseatdelete.com This is the best kit on the market. :nice:
If you really want to do a turbo, check out www.turbomustangs.com for all the info you'll need to make an informed decision. This is one of the few websites (and forums) that has NO bias based on sponsorship money.
Don't think for a second you can actually do one right for 3 grand (or...
Corbeau FX1's - 2 seats, 2 seat brackets, 2 sets of 4 point harnesses with shoulder pads. Another recommendation for Clark of www.apexperformance.net He had all this to my door (in two days time) for less than half of what the exact same Sparco seat would have cost me.
I got a 6 point cage from www.kirkracing.com The cage was intended for the hardtop 99+ Mustang, as they dont make anything specifically for the verts. I had a friend weld the cage in, and he took the back bars that should go from the top of the roll bar to the shock tower, and welded them...
I live in Winston-Salem, and I really wish I could have made it out, but I couldn't. I was out of town, and the Mustang is waiting on valve springs before firing back to life again. :(
Try posting this in the regional forums - southeast. You'll get more help. In the mean time, my recommendation goes to Dale at Custom Performance in Charlotte. check out www.gofastfords.com :nice:
Precisely.
4.10 or 4.30 gears, 100 shot, and drag radials should get you into the 12s - EASY.
If you want the much more expensive route, try these parts:
Steeda High Flow Intake, Accufab 75mm Throttle Body, Accufab Upper plenum, Steeda Underdrive pullies, Steeda Timing Adjuster, BBK Long...
