    Going to add vortech supercharger, I have questions

    19 lb injectors will not supply enough fuel with a supercharger install. at 100% duty cycle you'll be good to 4000 rpm and 3 psi, if even that. you will need a boost-a-pump or higher flowing pump. I got 10 psi with 3.6 pulley, 12 psi with 3.48 pulley. You will need a dyno tune regardless because...

    Heater Core

    What's up Brooklyn, I don't know of anything else behind the dash to address. As far as the brand of heater core, due to the work involved in swapping the heater core out, I would install the OEM or better. I have no idea what brand is better than the other so for me it would be the Motorcraft...

    Engine mod issues (long)

    As the guys have mentioned, see what the codes are before doing anything. The code/codes may have nothing to do with the mods. If the previous owner did not get a tune after installing the exhaust and TB then you're not really getting the true potential of the mods. You're probably running lean...

    Looking for opinions on my wheel choices...

    I spoke to my friend today. He paid $700 for all four wheels (2ea 19"x8" and 2ea 19"x11") to be powder coated. I saw them earlier this summer and they look great. He has to look up the name and address because he didn't remember off hand. So I still have to get back to you. I still think at that...

    Questions about the stage 3 mpg-max™ boost cooler

    My AFR is 14.7:1 until boost. Stock internals. I was considering a 90mm MAF (still stock w/diablo), 60lb injectors and a new tune because I feel the tune may have something to do with the lousy fuel mileage. I'll probably go with the meth setup and just go for the new tune since the MAF and...

    Looking for opinions on my wheel choices...

    A friend had his Porsche wheels powder coated for less than that. If you want I'll get the name of the place he had it done. Are your wheels in need of a lot of repair like deep scratches or curb rash? At the price of $100 to $135 each for the new Bullitts or Mach 1's your more than likely to...

    Looking for opinions on my wheel choices...

    Get the ones you have powder coated. It will be much less than new ones and powder coating will last much longer than the clear coat new ones would come with anyhow. Powder coating can be any color you want as well.

    Questions about the stage 3 mpg-max™ boost cooler

    I am still using the 39lb injectors from the Vortech kit. I just picked up some 60lb injectors and didn't install them yet. I believe with the stage 3 it comes with a controller so a re-tune is not necessary because you can setup when the meth injects. I was thinking if the octane is increased...

    Questions about the stage 3 mpg-max™ boost cooler

    Anyone using the Snow Performance Stage 3 MPG-Max Boost Cooler on their Mustang? I've got a 2000 GT w/ Vortech V3 and after-cooler. I'm interested in installing it because of the obvious more power and, for normal driving, better fuel mileage. I push @ 400 rwhp now with the return-less fuel...

    I need some info on the Anderson power pipe

    Buy the materials and make the same thing for less than 1/4 the money. Is there some magic hp in this "power pipe"? They want $250 for a 90 bend and two couplings? if you can build a supercharged 302 than this intake pipe should be a breeze. Have more faith in your abilities and save some cash...

    Who has failed NYS inspection in 2014?

    Got my 2000 GT inspected today and it passed. Vortech S/C plus bolt-ons. Tuned by Mustang Magic. As Far as I know there are no monitors turned off. I have high flow cats with CO2 sensors in place and working. No DTCs. To top it off it was at a Nissan dealership which hardly ever inspects cars...
