    Check out this setup

    No way you need to spend all that money to run a 12.5 N/A. A local guy ran a 13.1 with just exhaust and intake mods plus Drag Radials and 3.73's. Put in some 4.10s and get good tires and you might be able to run 12's. If not, cams will get you over the edge. Stage 2.5 heads are probably only...

    Should I go Longtube?

    You can get around the emissions thing by getting a catted midpipe. I initially had one when I first put on my Mac longtubes. No way in hell you are gettin under that car and taking off the LT's every 2 years. As long as you have cats (or heat shields) and MIL's, you'll pass emissions. As...

    LED 3rd brake light.

    I like it, but it needs way more LEDs in it. It would match my light bar though...

    How do you loosen the **??!! tensioner on Vortech '01-'04 GT?

    You mean you are trying to put the belt on? We just grabbed one of the ribs in the tensioner with channel lock pliers and yanked the hell out of it til we could slip the belt over the alternator pulley.

    New suspension and un-even ride hight - How to fix?

    I know you don't want to hear this but you can always cut the front springs. When I originally lowered my car on tokico springs, the front looked a bit higher than the rear so I cut a half coil off the front springs and it brought it down another inch for a perfect raked look. When I swapped...

    Questions on Sparco Milano seats

    They should fit, why wouldn't they? Sparcos are amazing seats so I would never doubt their quality. My buddy has recaro sports in his car (Evo seats) and they feel soooo much better than stock. I'd recommend either one.

    official 4.6 liter Mustang photo thread

    Holy crap, MeZ, that car is sick looking! Love the seats as well. V_eight, your front end looks so mean, lets see the rest. Here are mine. When I bought it 2 yrs ago with only flowmasters and 13k miles. After almost 2 years and wayyyy too much money.

    4 piston brake caliper

    If you want huge brakes, you have to have 18" wheels. Rotora and stoptech sell some beefy 4 piston kits for around $1300 and 14"- 6 piston kits for like $2300. That isn't tooo bad if you are hardcore about racing or you have a super fast car.

    Saw this tire size on a Cobra, will it fit on a GT?

    I have a 285/35/18 on my 18x10 saleens and they are plenty beefy, plus have plenty of room to spare from the fender. The 40 series will look dumb. The tires came on the wheels when I bought them used, if it was my choice, I would definitely go wider. 295 at least and 315 would be ideal. The...

    Fuel pump

    Used the same write up and took me about 1.5 hrs cuz I was working by myself and had about 1/4 tank of gas. Dropped a small screwdriver inside the tank too, that wasn't fun to get out. Scratched my arm reaching in the tank and the gas made it feel like fire.

    alignment didn't last long...

    Similar thing happened to me. I took the car for an alignment. He gave me the specs before and after and he changed the toe of one front wheel 1 degree and thats it. I think the front tire wear got worse and now I'm going to have to replace my fronts very soon.

    Headers & H-pipe on 2000 Saleen n/a

    Might have to get a Dr. Gas or VRS H and weld it up yourself, not sure what fits the Kooks headers. I have MAC LT's and o/r H pipe and see no problem with either. Got em both used for $450 total. Thats less than a set of Kooks by far. Plus, why do you care if its black, its under the car...

    Superchager Advice Needed

    If he were getting a procharger with a built motor, I'd definitely recommend the D1 for the higher boost and cfm levels. I think for all out power, the Novi2000 is probably one of the best centrifugal blowers you can run. I've seen upwards of 600-700hp on those blowers, and thats just on 2V...

    Superchager Advice Needed

    What the hell kind power are you going for that you think you will blow apart an aluminum block? Take the lighter one and run with it, I'm pretty sure it can handle at least 800hp. Oh, and screw a blower. www.hellionpowersystems.com Go for a 67/76mm turbo on that beast.
