Sometimes it sux ass in heavy traffic, but that's mainly from having a stiffer aftermarket clutch. Otherwise I've always enjoyed driving stick-shift cars, feel like I'm more in control of the vehicle no-matter what it is. Don't let your dad talk you out of it just cuz he doesn't like em.

05 Mustang has a front facing TB manifold like the LS1's/LT1's I'm sure it could be fabbed up, but I'm not sure who does em other than Hogans. And they can be expensive.

I had the same problem....pretty much ruined my headliner. Ended up being one of the cups that the sunroof slides into had developed a leak. Put some clear epoxy on it and voila, leak fixed!

If you're going with gears don't get 3.73's....you most likely won't be happy w/ them and the slug of an AOD. Go w/ 4.10's, you won't regret it....save the 3.73's for manual cars.

Run non-synthetic for the 1st 500-1000 miles then switch to synthetic, the full will help the rings seal better. When I got mine back in I went up to 3rd or 4th gear and then hit it to load the engine up to about 60-65. Did this about 10 times then drove it 1000 miles and changed the oil to...

I had them on my 95GT and they were a pain to install. I had to pry or keep pressure on almost every tube to get the bolts in. Get some shorties w/ a flange instead of individual tubes...much easier to install. After discovering 2 bad motor mounts on my current 90 GT my BBK Equal lengths when on...

Well since I've read really good articles about both companies in the pages of MM&FF they are both extremely reputable if you ask me. But just like everyone, they have probably had their fare share of unsatisfied customers. From what I've seen in the write-ups and other people, the quality is...

I would take that as it being stuck or gunked up. You'd be amazed at how many times I've come across something that messes up that was working 2 minutes ago!

Could the the Idle Air Control solenoid...the long one on the side of the TB. Try takin it off and cleanin the hell outta it w/ some carb cleaner. Basic place to start, then I'd also keep my eye out for vacuum lines.

Even if they are "made" by Goodyear I've never heard of em. When it comes to performance tires I stick to names that I've heard and seen...nothing less.

Get a cobra bumper...or similar w/ provisions for tailpipes. If you put tailpipes on a GT bumper or cutout the bumper for tailpipes it will look gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

You could probably hit those numbers w/ a GT40, I've seen some sick combo's making insane power w/ GT40's (heads/intake)...but you've got a similar combo to what I want to build. I plan on using the Holley intake w/ the AFR 185's...blown you'll see 500+hp easy.

I'd see if I could pirate a set of stock lifters and replace them on the passenger side to see if anything changes. Could have some worn lifters, not sure why it's just the passenger side though.

If that guy was only at your bumper by 120 then there's not a whole lot to worry about...that's still a big gap when it comes to hp. If you had 3.55's or 3.73's you probably would have had a car length on him. The SC will give you buslenghts on this ***boy.

Sweet! I even remember going to that Subway in the evening pretty often...haha.

If you hear a clicking noise right when the clutch engages it could be the TO bearing or the pressure plate itself.

I bought a 2.95 upgraded gearset (same as T5Z) and a rebuild kit from a guy on the corral and got my trans rebuilt for a grand total of $707.... $607 for the gearset and rebuild kit and $100 for the rebuild. It can be done for cheap!

They both look badass! My dad just picked up an 04 Mach I...now I've GOT to get a new mustang!

From what I always understood is that longtubes are better at exhaust scavenging...and tend to create more torque than the shorties. But how many engines did they test the headers on? Who's to say that the longtubes won't outperform the shorties on a higher hp or more radical engine!?

when I cruise at around 45 in 4th my stock tach reads 200 rpm or so lower than my autometer. I trust the autometer more than the stock tach!
