    SN95 GT Terminator Swap

    First off, I'm not the owner of this car. I was working in Murfreesboro, TN and drove by it at a car dealership and stopped to peek at a pretty mustang. I don't have any pictures, or specs on it, but can give a pretty good overview. Please don't contact me about it as I don't know any more...

    Harassment at friendly get-together

After about an hour or so this cop pulled up and, starting at the beginning of the line, ran every single license plate. He'd call in a plate, get out of the car to check the tags...

    SCT Xcal 2 Problems

    So I went to buy this Xcal 2 from my buddy, and when we tried to reset his to stock tune to "unmarry" his car we started having problems. When we reset it his car doesn't run. It turns over and over and over, but doesn't even sputter. It doesn't seem to be getting any spark at all. Now this...

    Cobra Grill Emblem

    I'm not intending to knock on anybody here, but why do y'all put the cobra in the grill? I'm not strongly opposed to it or anything, i'm just looking for reasoning. Kinda similar to the stainless or painted COBRA bumper inserts. I've always liked keeping the mustang in the grill, and the...

    I know everybody goes with manley/eagle/cp/mahle etc when building a motor, but could we just use 03/04 internals? I see most people pushing those well past 500rwhp w/o breaking, and was just wondering what you guys thought or where to purchase them.

    Best Heads for Centrifugal

    If swapping heads on a 97, what are the best for the centrifugal?
