    One of my projects/jobs

    Yup, that was his. I couldn't believe how fast that coupe was with no other power mods besides a stock 03' Cobra engine. The car was also basically stock still with full interior and everything correct? But as much as I love the KB charger on my friends 03' Cobra, it's the Centrifugal and...

    One of my projects/jobs

    And now you pry now that it's quite a bit of a pain in the arse to get a dohc modular engine to fit correctly in a fox body lol. I've only seen one done, an LX with a stock 03' Cobra engine, no other mods and the damn car pulled around an 11.4 at 120 mph I think. Could you imagine what just a...

    dyno tune in miami

    I'm up for it so I'll try to be there. Have you guys been around Moroso lately? Haven't gone up there in awhile, friends are getting tired of running there b/c it get's to f'n packed and there was about a 4 hour wait between your run's last time. Only other place I know of is Bradenton Speedway...

    Y'all are gonna hate me...

    Their having a lot of problems with the Toureg, and whats weird considering how similar they are, is the Cayenne has only had a few glitches with nothing to really worry about. A guy and girl I know on campus both have Touregs and are both having engine problems (hers doesn't rev/accelerate...

    Ford Contour SVT or Taraus SHO

    I'm with Stephan, I would either go with an older generation ES300 (which as he said was designed with more sport in mind then the later versions, I actually have an old review somewhere against Audi, BMW and Mercedes from the early/mid 90's and it did very well), that or an older Acura Legend...

    Ford Lightning

    There are a ton of supercharged Vipers, we have DLM (Doug Levin Motorsports down here) www.douglevinmotorsports.com , Heffner's Performance http://www.heffnersperformance.com (think the owner Jason is only 27 and started this operation years ago), you have Sean Roe and his Viper tuning company...

    02' and newer X's

    Re: Re: Re: Re: My parents own one The 4.6 sohc was introduced in the Lincoln Towncar/Crown Vic/Marquis over 10 years ago, and the 4.6 dohc was introduced in the new Lincoln Mark 8 around 93' and a version of it was also in the Continental. The Thunderbird and Couger eventually had the sohc 4.6...

    Pictures of the Steeda finaly !!!

    If your going to build up, do a 331 or 347 stroker. Don't even bother with trying to get the Lightning engine to work, too much of a pain in the arse and will end up being very costly. Talk to these guys in Miami, www.speedfreak.cc And if you happen to run into a tan Explorer down there...

    GT350/'03 Cobra half-breed

    LOL, a friend sent me this the other day and I was going to send it to you James. I love it. Back in April we almost bought a 66' replica GT350-H from an owner of one of the gas stations here, it was a k-code with a few goodies and had been restored. It was beautiful, painted British Racing...

    saw a cherokee drag why not an X

    Na, won't work down here, a lot of people know to be very careful of a tan Explorer on slicks at Moroso here lol:D 02' GTS . You shoud have been at Moroso the other night, have you ever heard of DLM in Miami? They make some absolutley sick Vipers, and this guy Treynor (who also has a Mercedes...

    saw a cherokee drag why not an X

    Somethings not right, are you totally sure it was a 4.0? The reason I'm doubting is I go to Moroso a lot, and have to call BS on that. I can't think of any possible way for a 4.0 99' (which are slow as **** in stock form) to run a 13 flat in the "all motor class", which yes you can't use...

    X-Box runs 13.45@ 101.3mph

    Hey, you ******* lol, you forgot to tell me you were going to Moroso:mad: , I would have gone up to watch you. A bunch of us were going to go last Saturday but we all ended up going to see Underworld instead (which kicked ass!). I know your truck definitley has a high 12 in it, but it's humid...

    Section525's Performance Garage!

    That looks like the Magnapack setup, I'm guessing your friend ordered the Magnaflow catback and then you guys removed the mufflers to install the Magnapack mufflers, unless they sell a full Magnapack exhaust now which I don't think they do? But just from the sound and look, those are...

    Most horsepower in an X?

    Troll, ran mid 11's with only 482 rwhp, can't remember what he's at exactly right now but I remember Bill or Dan (Troll, and Blk Mk8 on this board) saying it was around 550-600rwhp and that was awhile ago off the bottle. Think he still has a 125 or 150 shot but never got to use it. One of...

    Another "whats everyone think"? 2004 Lexus LS430

    I thought we adopted you;) The LS430 is called the Toyota Celsoir in Japan (nevermind Stephan beat me to it), should be what the front plates say. Looks more agressive, but for some reason I still like the clean, smooth looks of the last of the LS400's (and I know you think the same thing...

    My Explorer horsepower project updates

    Whats going on man, I sent you a pm or email a few days ago when Section sent me a link to your crash. That sucks, truck took a hell of a beating, and your lucky you walked away with only those injuries. Can't say the same if you had been in a GC. PM or email me, congrats on the truck and I...

    Lincoln Blackwood

    lol, they started making them in 01' as 02' models. They had a problem selling them but our dealership had no problem. A lot of other Lincoln/Mercury dealers have been sending their Blackwood/Marauder to our dealer and they sell every single one they get in. I'm pretty sure they stopped...

    Back from NOPI!

    Blackmagic - Did you only run a 16.8 at 83 mph? You have basically every bolt-on and also the most power gained I've seen from an Apten chip, whats up with that time lol? Our stock 2wd 5.0 Mounty ran 16.1 at 86 mph, with all your mods and especially that chip you should not be running that...

    5.8 in a '93 Explorer?

    ??? A 351 is a 5.8 rydinhigh;) J_Squared I don't know of anyone that has put a 351W engine in a 1st gen Explorer (and I highly doubt your thinking about a 351C lol). A 5.0 is not easy to swap into a 1st gen, but it can be done correctly with $$ and time. Theoretically a 351W would work...

    dual in dual out mufflers?

    Probably, that sound you thinking of are the 5.0's that are equiped with LT headers, 2 chamber flows and an shorty offroad x-pipe as James said. That offroad x pipe is what gives the 5.0's that slight metallic noise. That might be hard to replicate though obviously with out an offroad x pipe...

    friend's "new" 51 chevy truck (daily driver?!?!?)

    THAT TRUCK OWNZ Is your bud going to do any peformance mods or anything? I say rip that LT1 apart, rebuild with forged internals and slap on a Whipple supercharger......or hell have Lingenfelter or MTI do a little engine magic. Be pretty funny to see somebody race him and get destroyed by a...

    Please help: Buying 2003 or 2004 Explorer XLT and have questions...

    And guess what, the 3rd gen 4.6 Explorers/Mountaineers will destroy both in a race even with less power so your point is moot there;) Hell if you look at the stats or times people have gotten on other forums, the Trailblazer etc is barely quicker then a 2nd gen 5.0 Explorer/Mountaineer which...
