    Plasma Booster installed.........Results.....

    The plasma booster works quite well. It made more sense for me to put it in because I have a very well flowing intake tract that made me a little lean; the ignition booster really helped some pinging I was having, plus it revs much more smoothly. Its worth the cost.

    Flowmaster guys..1 or 2 Chamber???

    Never heard the 1 chamber. Had the 2 chamber's welded in, sounded good, but got the Bassani catback later. It is going to be loud as hell with your setup. A good loud though.

    Exhaust ? for new GT

    Muscle car sound, Flowmaster. Loud as hell, SLP. Refined, Bassani and Borla. Magnaflows are a popular choice because of price, and they flow very well.

    How many miles are the 00+ stangs good for......(Life Span wise)

    You'll notice a power difference at around 125-150K, but the block will last 200,000K. The accesories will burn out before the block will; alternator, water pump, and maybe the A/C. At that time, built 4.6 blocks will be a lot cheaper than now :nice: .

    auto vs. manual

    I got a stick because I feel like I have more control of my car. A couple years ago, I was in my mom's corvette (auto) and floored it in a turn. The car really got sideways, and in a stick, I feel like I can keep it in a gear in which I don't have to floor it to make it through a turn to exit...

    Is getting better gas miliage really possible???

    2.12! That is cheap as hell? Its around 2.45 where I live. Do not change your exhaust to 2 inches, and do not change your gears to something that low. Don't use the A/C, run synthetic oils, and don't worry about mileage because the best you'll get is 24-29 on the highway which is great for a...

    Tested out the whole mpg thing

    If you want mileage to increase, try some 3.08's. But, the intake and exhaust helped out my gas consumption considerably.

    Who has installed heavy duty axles?

    That is a lot of force to hit a curb, and I bet any axel would bend with that. I would just get an OEM replacement, and check if my upper and lower control arms are bent as well.

    Shifter

    A lot of guys prefer the pro 5.0 shifter, but use the Tri-ax handle. I personally prefer the Pro 5.0 handle myself. They are both made really well. The tri-ax has a handle similar curve to the stock one; the throw still feels a little long to me, while the pro 5.0 is a strait up handle, and...

    need some help with exhaust!!!

    An o/r H will make your car loud as hell. I suggest keeping the flows. Its unmistakably one of the balsiest sounds around.

    safe to run VT stage 1 cams with stock springs?

    Just to be safe, if you're over 50K, then get stock replacement springs. Yeah, don't tear into that $3500 engine unless you have a knowledgeable hand with you. Good luck though.

    K&N question...

    With the shroud you plan on cutting, just leave a bit around the two connecting peices. No, the metal strap is not enough.

    n/a or supercharged?

    N/A is safer. I do agree with 01mgVert, in the part that N/A offers a lot of pride. I love the feel of superchargers, especially in my friends 04 cobra. But for me, I also love the pull of a N/A motor; I can't really feel the work it takes to get up to speed in a supercharged car though. But...

    K&N question...

    The rubber inlet tube is corrugated, thus interrupts airflow after the MAF and to the TB. You hear guys say that different materials resist heat better, but honestly the the air hitting the tubing isn't moving slow enough to feel the effects of a heated surface. But, to your original point...

    Air Silencer

    On my friends Cobra, his car actually made more power with it on. On the GT's, I don't know. Just leave it alone, and put the C&L stuff on there if you really want to feel the intake.
