    The 99-00 GT's also use a 8 bolt flywheel

    Built 3650

    I'd look into the TKO-600. It will take the power your looking at, and is a nice shifting trany. I'm pulling the AOD in my 91LX and installing the TKO-600 in the next week or two.

    How well do 96-98 4.6s react to nitrous?

    Honestly I'd do the PI swap first if you have the money. You'll have the power all the time and won't have to have a bottle filled. Then if that's not enought power, then add the nitrous. ;)

    My first blower

    The words "cheepest" and "supercharger" should never be used in the same sentence!! There is alot of additional costs associated with a supercharger along with the regular upkeep of it and the car itself. IMO wait till after college when you can afford to go with a quality setup and can...

    How Much RWHP?

    It really depends on the tune and how hard you beat the on the car. A good rule of thumb is 400rwhp.

    Do I need to upgrade to 8-rib pulleys?

    I'm running the 3.12 with my V2-SQ on a 6 rib and having no problem with belt slip. I'm running a regular NAPA belt that is as tight as I can fit on and making around 15lbs of boost.

    I have a copy of a Anderson power pipe that I made myself. You have to reclock the blower so it dischargers down toward the driver side front tire. Then I copied how fast track runs there stang intercooler kit and took a hole saw and put a hole next to the frame rail right behind the power...

    Anyone boosting 12psi+ on stock block?

    I've been running 15lbs of boost on a stock short block for years now with no problems. Just make sure to get a good tune and don't beat on the car everyday and she should last.

    I have the gauge plate setup with the radio up top. Much easier to change settings on the radio.

    Longtube headers on an AOD..

    I'd say Hedman are about the same as MAC. I haven't had any problems with them. They didn't have provisions for 02 sensors, but I got mine for free from my dad when he went to a big block. One thing I forgot to say it does touch the side of the trick flow AOD trany pan. I had to grind a...

    Longtube headers on an AOD..

    I have Hedman LT headers on my 91LX with an AOD. They do have 3" collectors and I did have to pull my stearing shaft. I also had to remove the motor mount bolts and jack the motor up a bit to get them to fit in.

    vortech head unit

    They will fit, but the cobra's have the impellors fins clipped down so they make the same boost as a GT, but at the cobra's higher RPM's. If you put a Cobra 8lb vortech kit on a GT it will make around 5lbs of boost. Vortech does have the High Output cobra kit that is just a GT blower that...

    Search and Searched.. Still no postive answer

    Yes, you can run stock A-arms and also you can get a spring perch so you can run your stock springs. I have an AJE road race with tubular A -arms and have been very happy with it. I have a Qa1 in my 88 and it's not as well built compaired to the AJE. I'm getting ready to buy a K-member...

    4cyl to 5.0 questions

    I did the swap on my 91LX. I used a engine harness out of a V-8 91 and a A9P computer. My stock 4 banger gauges worked fine, with the tack reading double. I later on swaped it out for a V-8 cluster and all the gauges along with the tack read perfect.

    Those with aftermarket seats, chime in

    I bought Corbeau seats for my car with car specfic mounting brackets they also sell. Just unbolt the old seats and install the new seat with the proper manual brackets. The seat belt does mount to the bracket on the 99-04 cars. When I took the seats out and put them into my 91LX I used the...

    Vortech head with a P1sc intercooler?

    I've have had a prochager 3 core intercooler on my 00gt with an S-trim for years with good results. The only thing was I redid the tubing because I didn't like the way they did some stuff.
