    Cobra intake to buy or not

    the cobra is a great street intake. if you can get one cheap, go for it! you need to upgrade your tb though. 58mm are a bottle neck even on stk 86's. 65mm seems to be what most people use. oh, if you care. you can use your 58,or 60,or 65 or 70mm. without mods.. 75 you will need to bore out the...

    does a 65mm FRPP throttle body work with stock Mass Air?

    unless you have a cam... wait. S/D does not like cams. (could get tuned btw) the 87-88 s/d cars were quicker than the mass air cars stock.

    would you suggest going carb?

    everything i said is directed at street cars! you daily drivers out there with holleys, do you drive them when it's 35-45 deg and raining? how about that 200 rpm idle and the raw gas dripping out of the tail pipes? (seen this on 3 friends cars and 3 personal motors and 4 holleys) personaly seen...

    Mods....

    most people don't consider long tube headers to be a "bolt-on". shorty tubes sure, long tubes are not emissions legal in any state with or without cats. my response was with that in mind. besides, after installing long tubes on several different kinds of cars (no 05 stangs yet) i will say long...

    Superchargers

    there is no way i'm going to put some noisy ass blower on my brand new car! (pro charger) sounds like it's munching nuts and bolts! some may think it sounds cool but, i do not. so, it looks like a whipple/saleen/kb blower for me........

    Mods....

    think you will be lucky to hit 310 rwhp without a blower/nos. if you did all of the "bolt-ons" should be a lot more fun to drive, then you could always bolt a nos kit on it for racing. the other option is to check with your local dealers to find what they will hold you to. also, i'm...
