    Would you want 315HP or 365HP?

    I'd like a ford Explorer with the ecoboost motor, better fuel economy than the 4.6 and more power to move the heavy beast. The mustang...tough debate. My perfect mustang would be a version with the 6.2L boss motor, or at the least the upcoming coyote motor, would I rather have the turbo 6 than...

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Bel GX65 for me. I replaced my Bel 970 vector that got wrecked in my garage fire. The Bel 970 kept me ticket free for 9 years, hopefully the GX65 will keep it up. It has a GPS function and an update-able data base that has the red light cameras, speed cameras, and the most common speed traps...

    13" Brake Upgrade,Anyone know the Difference?

    The cobra caliper brackets come with any of the ford racing calipers (Mach 1, Cobra, Bullit, etc.) so that's not an issue. For the rears, you can grind on a v6 or GT caliper and it'll clear the cobra rotors as well.

    Torque box damage assesment-pics inside

    I measured it diagonally from the trans cross-member to the outside edge of the torque boxes and the dimensions were within 1/8th of an inch. I was happy with that and welded them in and welded up where the upper and lower boxes attach to the frame. The car always went straight on launch...

    Torque box damage assesment-pics inside

    Good to hear. I'll probably cut away some of the sheetmetal on the outside and hammer things down from above and weld away. I've measured several different points on the frame and everything seems to be perfectly square so I won't worry as the car has always tracked straight.

    Torque box damage assesment-pics inside

    Here is the pic from the inside, the crack is in the lower LH side along the edge of the seat and notice the contour of the floor dipping down after the framerail. The car had been in an accident before I bought it so this may be damage cause by pulling the frame back in place. Sorry about the...

    Torque box damage assesment-pics inside

    I was prepping my car to install some lower torque box reinforcements and found out that I've got some troubles. The boxes seem to be attached to the frame securely and they are square against the framerail but the sheetmetal on the outside is torn and looks like it has been pushed upwards. I...

    What everyone's projects for the winter?

    My goal is to finish my winter project from last year that was sabatoged by backordered parts, a slow machine shop and no time off. The longer I had to wait for stuff, the more I stepped the game up.

    Mega Ford Weekend at Mission Raceway June 24-26

    You don't need a helmet unless you're running 13.99 or better. If you're running faster than 13.99, you can get them at best buy, mopac, many motorcycle shops, etc... My RCI helmet costed something like $135 so it wasn't too bad.

    Embarassed: got beat by a civic tonite

    That's cool, have you ran it at Mission? I bought a longblock off a guy from North Van who used to own a shop that did the monster Miata conversions back in the mid 90's. He had a customer order the motor with a set of fox-lake ported GT-40 heads, E303 cam, 1.7 rockers and a blueprinted...

    Beware! Comp Cam problems.

    Comp does seem to be having some issues. They ground my custom cam that I bought through Buddy Rawls, he checks over every camshaft to verify all the timing events before he sends it to the customer and with the first one he got from comp, the exhaust lobe was not closing the exhaust valve at...
