Hi guys, I'm actually a long time member as I'm a HUGE Mustang fan, although I admit to currently owning a 4th Gen Camaro. I'm also in the UK, so cars like these are very rare and unique. Last weekend I picked up an 86' T-Bird. Ok not a Mustang, but I'm lead to believe they use a stretched...

Thanks :) Is Stangnet a bit quiet these days?? I haven't posted here for a few years but remember it being much more active than this. This threads been active for days, with only a single reply yet somehow is still on the 1st page in the forum :shrug:

I test drove a 2007 Mustang GT with a Paxtonn Novi blower, the trader said it had "420hp" so assume its running the Novi 1200. Afraid I don't know much more than that. The car was a manual tranny with some bolt ons (exhaust). It didn't feel as quick as I thought it would. How much more...

I think the stock exhaust sounds really good for a stock exhaust. Way louder than most other makes.

I'm pretty sure several vehicles in the Ford and PAG have the same stud fitting so you could probably get some space saver wheels from another vehicle like a Jag or Volvo. I know the MG ZT Bonnieville speed car (ran a Ford turbocharged mod motor about 900bhp) used steel space saver rims on...

Guess it all depends on your slant on things really. On one hand old school muscle cars had crap brakes and handling as a rule and a moutain of torque and skinny wheels to deploy. Hence they felt rather raw. But also these where cars of the 60's & 70's. Older cars, muslce or other...

C&L and JLT seem to be intakes that have respect round here. Personally I like the look of the C&L racer 95mm setup. the big thing is you WILL want to get one with a tune. In many ways its the tune that offers the bigger HP on these cars. Brenspeed have the C&L plus X-Cal2 for $599. Having...

Is that a magazine or an online resource? There is a UK based magazine called Evo but I can't recall them testing much US metal. Certainly not along the lines of what we enthusiasts talk about on these forums. But there again I haven't looked at a copy for ages... :)

I've got an idea of a different kind of write up. And one I never ever see on US based forums. How about a proper road test and comparison of the different cars. For some of us (me) and some US based enthusiasts it just isn't possible to test drive all cars and mods to see what they are like...

Personally it depends what your aim is. If you are building a dedicated track car then skinnies should reduce rolling resistance and weigh less. But on a stock or near stock vehicle I personally feel the difference they are likely to make would be minimal at best. The down sides are IMO...

If you check my other recent posts I've mentioned more than once that I don't agree with the 15% rule and never have done. I simply used it as a quick guesstimate and nothing more - sorry if it hurt your feelings. :D Eh? depends how you work it out, but I believe both are correct. As per...

Thanks :nice: Yeah I have to say I have a soft spot for the Loud Mouth. I have one on my z/28 and I love it, but it could do with being a tad louder at idle still. I was thinking of running a Mac Pro Chamer (stock cats and manifolds) into a SLP LM on a Stang (as and when I get one....)...

Ok, been looking at exhausts and I want to check something. All of the exhausts for the Mustang seem to be listed as axleback as opposed to catback. Presumably this means these only fit from the rear axle backwards. Does this mean you remain with a section of stock exhaust between the mid...

Sadly this makes no odds here in the UK as we only have two levels of petrol/gas. -Regular Unleader 95 RON - about equiverlent to US 91 octane -Superunleader - 97-99 RON - about equal to US 93 octane There is no 87 octane equiverlent. Not too mention the rip off prices we have to...

I hear quite abit about these. What benefits do they offer? Are the s197's suffering from drivetrain vibration?? I was reading on the leanardracing site that they seem to be more aimed at autos due to their different driveshaft setup.

Ok here's a question for ya all. How affective are shorty headers on blown applications? I am not familiar with the design or flow rates of the stock headers on a s197 GT. Does anyone know or have dyno proof of shorty headers producing HP on supercharged setups? The reason I ask is...

Reckon it depends what you want from the car: -handling -straight line speed -drag ability at the track -styling Also your long terms aims and goals. If you plan to keep the car and have a plan buy the founding mods now, the ones you won't really want to do later and it will pay...

I'm pretty sure that of the numbers where correct (correctly) to SAE then it would take into account the altitude, DA, humidity and temp. This means the numbers you achieved should be reproducable at a lower altitude (same dyno type) when also corrected to SAE. If they are STD numbers then...

Ok but fiddling the dyno to read what you want isn’t the point of this topic and is not relevant, although a possible interest to some…. lol As for Dynojets, yes I agree they are popular in the US but are by no means a global standard as they are much rarer on this side of the Atlantic...

Anyone heard or got one of these? Opinions? Sound clips? How does it compare to running a SLP LM? http://www.pypesexhaust.com/sys-mustang2.html Cheers? :nice:
