a while back, i viewed a picture of a photochoped 05 stang that was chrome and had foglight deletion, and some other aftermarket parts. if someone could direct me to that picture i would appreciate it. Thanks IR1 :owned:

Good luck with that. I'm curious to know how your new setup runs as well.

That's what I was thinking. At least head gaskets aren't expensive if one does the work themselves. As far as that nasty grinding goes... I've failed to diagnose it at all. Could it be the flywheel? My clutch is really close to complete death.

Sounds like TPS... Could it also be IAC?

Mine did it too. I ended up with bad spark plug wire on cylinder 1, it would arc on occasion... Check your plugs and wires. One bad wire or plug and as I'm sure you're awre, it can ruin a car's performance.

Ok, I admit it, its true. My GT has so many problems, its absurd. But here's the latest and the greatest... Any advice, tips, or feedback would be great. And by advice, I don't mean "sell the car" because I'm way too attached to her to do that. We just did plugs/wires/cap/rotor/oil...

Alright man, my bad. I was having a rough night and it's sometimes tough to gauge stuff like tone and inflection through text :p No hard feelings at all... I totally understand where you're coming from, there are a few things I pretty vehemently dislike on cars that I get disgruntled about...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I was hoping that this would be workable, and if I can do it without losing any low end power that would be excellent.

Is there any other kind of racing? :p I know what you mean though. I'm taking my A/C out because I want to save a little weight and I like a simpler, cleaner engine bay. People say "X part and Y part don't weight much", but when you add it all up, you can make a substantial difference...

I agree with 408. As soon as I can afford to switch, I'm going to get Spintech subframe connectors and side-exit exhaust. All of the clips I've heard with that setup sound really, really nice.

I wasn't aware that he was carbureted, first of all. I figured a small blue LED in a Mustang airbox would be mostly harmless - not something I would do, but logically, it sounded decent. Now that I realize that he's carbed, I can see your point clearly. Show cars, in order to stand out...

Yeah, it is a daily driver. Do you think I could find a good H/I combo to balance out the cam? I'd hate to get a gift and not make any use of it.

A quick thought on badging: Putting a Cobra badge on a GT is like a Civic DX putting a Type R badge on. I disagree very strongly with doing it, but to each his own. When I bought my GT someone had put Cobra badges above the 5.0 badges... A butterknife solved that problem. I'm not trying...

That's what I was thinking, I at least want to do heads and an intake when I do the cam. When the engine goes boom (something will blow eventually) I'm going to try to go for a DSS 331 as well. What do you guys think I should think about doing before installing this?

BAH... I respect someone for trying to be different. A little trick lighting can be tasteful if done right, and as long as there's no fart pipes, carbon-fiber wing and Type-R stickers on there, it should NOT be too hard to keep it un-riced. Give it a shot man. If it looks like crap, take...

In fairness, he didn't say 250rwhp, he said 250hp. Which, at the flywheel, isn't too far off the mark I'd bet. A stall convertor and some gears will REALLY help you get up and go. Like the others said - Get the stock TB back on there, you will feel a seat-of-the-pants difference.

TTT, any input on what would work well with this? Also, has anyone heard anything about this cam/company?

Ok, I bought myself a new switch today and installed it, with no luck at all. I had a feeling it had something to do with the foglights. Now, you replaced the whole wire with a large gauge section or just a section of it (I would hate to have to take the friggin dash apart) :bang: :bang...

Heya, another quick question - I've been having problems with my headlight flickering and stuff for a while, and at times I've been able to smell burning. Now, my headlights don't come on at all, so I removed the switch only to see that the grey connector is cooked and various terminals on...

I installed new valve covers, and about 1000 miles later I have a tapping. I BELIEVE that the valve covers may not be clearing. I can't afford a rebuild so I hope not but that's a little :OT: Camman is right. We need a little more info. Have some rev the motor up for you while you listen...
