looks like a man with titsfazm83 said:that last comment makes me almost not want to post a photo msp lol
be nice, camera phone pic
in case anyone was curious, this is me, foolin around
on topic, i think i actually wont be goin with zex for now, until i see more of these s/c options that are popping up everywhere. Would love to see one from saleen or whipple, man would that make my dayId pay $5 grand for a whipple kit.
back off topic, its jenns turn? lol

and no, i dont have large tits, im probably below an a cup lol. she on the other hand is a D. and yes jenn, you nailed it, she sent me that ayer (yesterday) at like 8:15 (gettin ready for school). She doesnt really ever wear makeup, unless we go clubbing or somin.
But ya, if whipple makes one, count me in.
non cameraphone pic, shes on the right, cousin on the left
You are a fortunate young man it seems in all your endeavors.

here is the girdle linkMSP said:LOL!! Damn Fazm83, your full of stories to tell.. LOL!! Broke your back, Shop burned down! Whooo!! How do you manage? I guess all the Mustangs you own help keep you sane I guess.. Thats a good thing!
Glad your Cobra is coming along.. Remember, its just a supplement for us V6 guys.. When the GT guys come around, you can pop in and tell them, you own an 03 Cobra, and its no where near as fast as our V6's! LOL!! HHEHEHEHE!!

Welcome man!! Nice to meet ya! So you say you have a 3.8 putting some serious power to the ground huh? Nice.. I too like the idea of us V6'ers keeping the 7.5 and upgrading as needed.. I think its part of the whole package ya know.. V6 as opposed to V8, 7.5 as opposed to 8.8.. I think we should all upgrade our existing 7.5's.. Is it wrong to assume the 7.5 is somewhat lighter than the 8.8? Not sure..
Also, how about you get some links posted for the Auburn parts, and the girdle? Thanks man..

Seeing that your bank account will be nice and fat, why not test out the Procharger for your V6? LOL!! Somebodys got to do it! Might as well be you!. Seeing that you already have an 03 Cobra, this will be an easy one for ya! LOL!
From what SSM is saying each cylinder is surrounded by 4 head bolt holes and 8, large coolant holes. Based on SSMs breakdown inspection, the deck integrity has been compromised on the engine because of the coolant ports that Ford put into the head deck. Jenns05Stang said:I guess right now that we have the rear end issues thought out we can turn to the internals as far as it's ability to withstand power added applications. SSM is well ahead of the game and have been for years. I trust their break-down analysis second to none!
Based on my read, SSM has already encountered evidence of blown head gaskets on S/C 4.0 at only 8 psi.
Also since it appears that the stock compression ratio of 9.7:1 and poor deck integrity of the cylinder heads will lead to head gasket failure in power adder applications they are suggesting a reduction in the compression ratio from 9.7:1 to 9.0:1 and suggesting doing this with high strength forged pistons that are dished to reduce the static compression ratio to eliminate the problems associated with high compression ratios in supercharged applications.
They were not very thrilled with the Torx-head torque-to-yield stock head bolts.
So, it appears that replacing pistons with forged ones and replacing the head studs are the ticket to holding the head if we go with supercharging.
For nitrous applications, they didn't indicate a problem with the piston design, but commented on retaining the 9.7:1 stock.
It appears that based on what I have researched, the engine is better designed for nitrous applications or N/A build-ups.
Which is just a bummer. It sounds like S/Cing this is going to require a good rebuild from the Bottom-Up.
No Whipple for Jenn even if they made one. I would rather get a GT and Whipple it then. Hahahahahaha.....
The mention adding good rod bolts and the race-prepped rods to surpass 350
horsepower. I found this interesting since we have all seen this figure met by Mike @ PowerHouse. Interesting.....
It sounds like the cylinder length is adequate for a stroke increase up to 3.5” with a 3.980 bore, to achieve an end displacement of 4.3L which should make outstanding efficiency based on the intake port characteristics of the SOHC
heads. WOOT! .3 behind the GTs.... LOL....
Comments...additional thoughts...
But seriously, the time is coming when Ford will be Forced based on sales numbers and a change in attitudes against V8's that a Supercharged V6 Mustang is coming.. As much as Ford may be against it, the economy of scales is going to demand it..MSP said:Morning Jenn! Of course there is no replacement for 350HP which is yours permanently! LOL!! With nitrous, you only own the 350HP for as long as the bottle is filled!
But on the overall scheme of things, I just like how nitrous allows you to play with the bigboys out of the box.. LOL! In our case, without doing any major engine modifications..
I truley think Ford purposely designed our engines for the purpose of aftermarket Nitrous applications.. This is evident in the compression ratio, and piston type..
Ford could have easily just dropped in the stock explorer engines into our cars with a slightly different cam..
I dont think its by luck, our engines are designed to take full advantage of nitrous without any additional work to the internals up to 300+ RWHP.. This is not something that happend by chance.. It was something planned.. I have said this before.. Ford made a calculated move to make sure the new Mustang platform was fun with both engines just in case the world attitude changed against big V8 power.. As we sit here right now, this is taking place..
I believe that in this round of Mustangs, the V6 in time will be viewed as just as popular, if not more popular than the V8's.. I actually think in the next few years, the most sought after Mustangs will be the 4.0's.. Granted the best of the best will install the longrods and create strokers.. But its nice to know that rolling a stock v6 off the showroom floor has the ability to hit 300+ HP effortlessly using nitrous..
Stand anyone in a showroom, and lay out the perspective to them in regards to the GT.. Now we all know the MPG is about the same, but the perception will be the V6 is better.. Insurance is much cheaper, and I can still supercharge it, because the kits are out now.. I can add nitrous for $600 bucks and spank GT's.. I can install 351 connecting rods, and make a 4.3L stroker.. The possibilities are endless..
All this for a lot cheaper than owning a GT over the course of 5 years..
You have to ask yourself.. What fool would seriously choose the GT over the V6..? LOL!! No flames guys.. We all love the GT!
Trust me, the next Corvette Killer besides the GT500, is going to be a Supercharged V6 Mustang! From the Ford Factory with its own production numbers!
