    I want to see a shirt with the Mustang Tri-Bar on the front breast and on the back have a picture of 5 mustangs... a 67 fastback, a 76 cobra II, a 93 cobra, a 97 cobra, and a 07 shelby, and in the middle it would say, 5 Generations of Muscle. Nik

    Why are tracks so slick compared to the street?

    I spin more with street tires at the track... but on drag radials, the difference is amazing, much better at the track. Nik

    A very disappointing defeat-imported 4 banger.

    Stock in my 5 speed I went 14.8. Put Catback, Pullies, Shifter and Tune Up went 14.3. Add Mam, Gears, Headers, and X-Pipe and it went 14.3 again. Added Nittos and went 13.9. Stock in my old AOD, I went 15.5. Add gears and pullies and went 14.7. Nik

    in the middle of cobra manifold install

    I always take the distributor off before the upper intake just to give myself room. I'm not sure about the connections, they should be similar. Never done a cobra, just an edelbrock and stock. Good luck, should be fairly simple to line everything up. Nik

    Funny you should bring this up. Just Friday I raced a 1992 Z28 350 TPI. My friend woke me up saying he had a guy in a camaro that said he has never lost to a mustang. So my friend being the **** talker that he is says I will give him two cars. So we line up, the guy two cars ahead of me. My...

    93 Cobra exhaust

    The LX exhaust hangers are shorter. I think you can buy longer rubber hangers at part stores so that the LX exhaust kit will fit a cobra (I have a cobra bumper on my 93 gt and had to do some "rigging"). If you don't get longer rubber hangers or longer metal hangers welded on, the exhaust will...

    Smoke on deceleration?

    When I rev the engine up real high, to like 5k rpms, and then decelerate without shifting to a higher gear, a puff of smoke comes out. I think its a dark white color. I'm thinking its dumping fuel into it for some reason... any ideas guys? Nik

    can i hit 12's??

    They won't do anything to your 60' until you learn to launch the car better. Nitto Drag Radials are capable of 1.6-1.8 60 foots. How much are you heating them up? You should be getting them wet and doing a nice smoky burnout. They love heat and like about 16 psi of air. If your launching at 4k...

    can i hit 12's??

    You should be cutting at least 1.7 60 foot times with nitto drag radials. I cut 1.8 in a stock suspensioned, stock longblock car. 105 mph is enough for mid twelves. You just need to learn to launch better. Nik
