    42 v. 60 lb. Injectors

    I'm considering getting larger injectors as I wonder if the stockers are about maxed out with my set-up (mods in sig). Would there be an advantage to switching? 60's are almost used exclusively, but when I read this from rpmoutlet, it seems 42 lbs would be more than enough (see below). What...

    Stiegemeier Stage 5 Port & Tune Today

    I had the car dyno tuned today with Stiegemeier's Stage 5 port combo. It really woke the Cobra up! Mods when I brought it in were a JLT RAI filter and Borla catback. The end result is with the Stage 5 combo (stock throttle body), 2.76 pulley, Sct tune (stock cats). What do you guys think...

    Ported Eaton Satisfaction Survey

    I've searched and read about porting and trying to gather any additional information from ported eaton owners, as I'm wanting to port/pulley combo my '03. I'm aware a certain percentage believe money is more wisely spent on a twin screw, but I'm not wanting to boost my motor into the upper...

    H&R Race V. Steeda

    Although the low H&R Sports look great, they're too low b/c I don't want scraping. I'm thinking I want the least amount of drop in lowering springs to avoid scraping. People with them. What do you think?

    Boost Gauge Doesn't Work

    I noticed my boost gauge isn't working. Does anyone have a suggestion on what/how to check? Ford recently had the dash off and replaced my A/C plenum. I'm guessing something didn't get hooked up right. Is there a fuse or boost by-pass to check before I take it back in?

    SLP "Modular" CB

    Modular SLP Catback I don't see much on SLP Catbacks on the forum. I like how you can easily swap out the LM and LM II muffs,i.e. modular. The exhaust tips are really nice and from the sound clips I've found, sounds healthy! C'mon SLP people and let us know how you like 'em...

    H&R OE Sport Springs

    A lot report the H&R Sport Springs are a little too low and go for the Race springs (contrary to h&r website drop claims). Some feel the race springs are too stiff and not available for convertibles. I haven't found anything on the OE Sport Springs. Anyone running these that are supposed to...

    FRPP Gears

    I was told by a local shop that Ford Racing gears were made by Precision Gear. Can anyone confirm this. He also told me that FRPP is no longer making 4.30s!?

    Tonneau Stability

    I've seen some threads that suggested you can't drive very fast (possibly even highway speed) without a Tonneau Cover catching air under it and trying to fly around. Has anyone experienced this or are they stable on the road? (I tried "searching" but came up empty)

    LS1 Made Me Feel Slow

    Just got back from taking my son's 2001 SS Camaro to the gas station. Coming off a red light in 1st gear, I stabbed it from about 10 mph and that car instantly jumped, pulled, and fish-tailed a little with that LS1 motor. I always conceded the SS had the edge, but I gotta tell ya, it was a...

    Tires for 18X9 Saleens

    I want a little more ground clearance due to my lowering springs. I figure 18" wheels with the stock sidewall height will give me some. 265/35/18 is the recommended (stock) tire. Does anybody know if 275/40/18's all around will rub? Thanks in advance.

    Tonneau owners

    How are the covers installed? I read a few places of snaps and seat belts. Do you have to install snaps extra? Do they install safisfactorily? Do they rattle when you drive? Are seat belts used to secure them? I'll get one if you guys are satisfied with fit and practicality. The...

    Styling bar clearance

    Does anyone have any clearance issues, such as hitting your head on it or it being in the way? I think it is well enough behind the driver, but before I spend the money, I wanted to check with people who have them. I'm 6'2" and sit with the seat pretty far back.
