    Have the Itch...what should I start with?

    seems like a few guys around here are offering decent deals on the '99 & '00 model GT's....so I'm leaning that way Anybody have opinions on the 4.6L blocks? Who are some good manufactures nowadays? MRR, DSS, MPH? I want this build to be N/A and strong

    Have the Itch...what should I start with?

    Hi guys, I used to roam these forums everyday back when I had my '02 GT. Had lots of mods to it...main one being a MPH Mongoose kit. I've since sold it and now I'm getting the itch to build a 4.6 from the ground up. When I used to be on here daily, places like 'VTengines' were big into...

    BBK LT's are they any good?

    I've compared hight difference between MAC's and BBK's (being that those are the two cheapest I could find), and both are going to be about 1" lower than your stock pipes...but in comparison they're both about the same drop...I personally can't drive over a 12oz soda can without hitting it, but...

    BBK LT's are they any good?

    BBK LT's are they any good?

    not to disuade you from getting BBK...but I recently bought Mac LT's and their new finish and fit was dead on according to my installer...he said they were the best LT's he'd put on a mustang and the install only took him about 2 hours where he said hooker, old mac's, and bbk usually take him...

    Long Tubes and Cats?

    I'm currently running Mac LT's, and just installed the offroad h-pipe....too loud and raspy w/ my magnapacks IMO...I'll be looking into the same bbk catted pipes when inspection time rolls around next year

    Any Headers?

    I just had a set of Mac longtubes installed...guy said the fit was great...and the new coating on the Mac's is supposed to not flake off like before I replaced the BBK shorties...which were plain crap in my opinion

    Inside of IAC...looks like???

    okay... who here has taken their IAC off and looked at it??? I just had a fellow stangnet member come over and swap his IAC over to my engine to see if it would fix my idle issues...it didn't...but long story short... when I looked in the open hole (that would generally face the...

    Explanation???

    thanks, that was a very helpful answer. I'm still working on this, and maybe I can use my x-cal to datalog and figure out what's going on...it's still hard to believe that there are about 10-15 different reasons why my car could be acting the way it is and it's killing me trying to narrow it...

    Was thinking about getting this spoiler. Please help

    very similar to the Cobra R but sized down a bit...I wonder if it comes prepped for paint...I've heard wood is very hard to work with @ body shops

    Explanation???

    I was wondering if anybody could give me a brief description of what the IAC actually does? I know that it controls the idle and that there is a tiny little solenoid that is inside, but I have no idea how it communicates to the engine, what data it's getting, and the overall purpose of the...

    Why does everybody do this???

    I know that the answer to this is probably really simple and I'm going to feel dumb when it's answered but I searched and didn't see any explanations so... why do all of the instructions to just about every part installation tell you to disconnect the battery before starting??? For...
