    I want nitrous

    You should care unless you got $$$$ laying around to spend on a new motor. You need a TC window switch, bottle heater, #82071 zex plugs and a proffessional tune. Start with the 75 and go from there. With your mods I wouldn't go past 100 shot. Make sure you pick up a pressure gauge for your bottle.

    Internet Explorer error...

    I just had to download and install Mozilla because for some reason IE won't let me into this site anymore. Both on my work PC and home PC so I know it has something to do with Microsoft.

    Front 02 Sensors...

    Man I feel like such an idiot! I wonder if this could be the reason why my car made only 325 hp on the dyno using a 100 shot of nitrous? Oh well I just ordered a set of extensions for it.

    Front 02 Sensors...

    Ok, I researched this but could not find what I'm looking for... Let's say if you install long tube headers, an off-road mid pipe, and then turn off the 02 sensors via hand held tuner such as the predator. Then you screw the 02 sensors back into the headers and mid pipe but leave them...

    Favorite year: 99-00 or 01-04?

    I always liked the 04gt spoiler the best. I think it looks alot better but everyone has a preference I guess. Honestly I would go with a low mileage 04 but if I were you I would definitely look around for a Mach. I've seen one go for as low as $12000. I can understand your desire for upgrading...

    Dyno results...

    It's the zex wet kit. I bought and installed it almost two years ago but never ran it until now. Because it's not my daily driver it's been sitting in the garge getting worked on all this time. I'm pretty happy except I wish I had installed the bottle warmer and I'm not sure if I will keep...

    Dyno results...

    Today my car was dyno-tuned by Tony at HP Performance. First of all, Tony is an awesome tuner and I highly recommend him! Based on the mods in my signature the result was 267.28 Max Power and 310.70 Max Torque. With a 100 shot of nitrous it was 325.42 HP and 394.86 Max Torque on a conservative...

    Bolt ons

    See my signature. Better heads and better cams wouldn't hurt either.

    Ever feel snubbed by the s197 crowd?

    A little off point but I can remember back in the 80's snubbing a VW Scirocco. That car spanked me a new one! I still wonder to this day what the heck he had in that car besides four passengers!

    Ever feel snubbed by the s197 crowd?

    Yah, I did. But it was a two way street as I can remember snubbing anyone that wasn't in a modified foxbody. I came from a long line of 3rd generation mustang owners in my family so i know what those cars are capable of if built right. Even now driving the 04 gt I still have a great amount...

    The aftermarket K Member alignment myth...

    I know you will need a wheel alignment but I was talking about aligning the K-Member itself. I was under there again last night adjusting my tie rods and I gave it one more look. There is no room on either side of the K-Member bolt holes to adjust from right to left but there is enough to move...

    what hood should i get

    For me the decision is an obvious one. Go for the carbon fiber hood and paint it! Saving weight trumps all!

    The aftermarket K Member alignment myth...

    After weeks of being under my car with everything apart investigating the "aftermarket K-Member alignment myth", I have come to the same conclusion as many others and that is, they are pretty much "self aligning" meaning you really can't screw anything up unless you try to. The theory is that...

    Greasing the ole balljoint

    I filled it up right but the weight of the spindle pushed the grease out the bottom of the boot causing it to slip off one side. The wire clip that holds the boot on the ball joint was useless (thanks QA1). On top of it all I punctured the boot with the pickle fork when I removed the spindle. I...

    Gears installed

    I'm a little curious. Did you have to enlarge the holes on your pressure plate in order for the fidanza flywheel to fit?

    Greasing the ole balljoint

    Anyone ever pump too much grease into your aftermarket ball joints? I did. So much that it literally popped the boot off when I mounted the spindle. Now I have to yank the spindle back off and re-grease. I wish there was an easier way to know how much is enough.

    Need new clutch (advice)

    I'm using the centerforce dfx clutch which is the best in my opinion. But don't be like me and order a fidanza flywheel to go with it because the dowel pins on the flywheel are too fat for the holes on the clutch pressure plate! I learned the hard way and had the tedious painstaking...
