    SOLD: Bama SCT X4 Tuner

    I got this a while back from Don LaSota. I never used it. I think it came with a remote tune, but it has been so long that I am not sure that Don would still honor it, but it is worth a try. $275 shipped in the Continental US.

    Help with pulley mess

    I have what I think is a set of the 1x 90mm and 3x 100mm idler pulleys and they are definitely set up wrong. Probably been like this for years, but someone just pointed it out to me. Anyways, the belt is wrapped over (on the right side) of the upper idler pulley where it should be...

    Throttle body - keep or upgrade

    On my broken :( 2.3 Whipple, I have a Dragon throttle body. Would there be any reason to change this as I move to a new 2.9 Whipple?

    Most expensive supercharger paint job

    It all started with just changing the injectors. By the point that I had my Whipple off, I figured I would remove the orange color and go back to black. After trying with several paint removers, this stuff wasn't coming off. Apparently, it was powder coated. I brought it to my powder coater...

    Don't powder coat a used whipple

    Long story short, I was thinking about powder coating my 2.3 Whipple. I called Whipple to ask them for recommendations as far as disassembly and reassembly of the unit. Bottom line is that the entire unit should be broken down as the seals inside would not go well with the heat involved in PC...

    Catch Can Clarity

    After pulling my Inter Cooler apart, I see the need for a catch can setup (I think). Currently, the car is set up with breathers on both valve covers. I have seen vids that talk about using a catch can with the PCV stock but I am having a hard time understanding where I am running lines for a...

    Finally got the Whipple off - how does this look?

    I finally got this sucker off (it'll be much easier next time) and I thought it looked pretty dirty. Are these pics an indication of anything? Is there anything special I should do before re-assembly? I think I am going to powdercoat the Whipple before I put it back on anyways.

    Fuel System Upgrade - help get to fuel rail bolt

    A nice little chicken or the egg problem as I am trying to remove my fuel rails to install some new ID1000's. As you can see in the picture (circled in red) there is a nut / bolt that attaches the fuel rail to the engine that is covered by the Whipple's plenum. My open ended wrench is a bit...

    Fuel System Upgrade - ID1000's too small?

    I decided to tackle changing my fuel system to a 1400hp Lethal return style. In the process, I figured I would upgrade the injectors to some ID1000's as well. Among many other issues, one that I have is that the new injectors have a shorter plug on the body. The new injectors do not clear the...

    Is my fuel system E85 Ready?

    I was hoping you guys could help me nail down some details on my fuel system and figure out what I have and if I am ready for the E85 switch. According to the seller, I have a "Fore fuel system" and he installed "Dual GT40 pumps into a triple hat". When I look at the Fuel Rails, they are Fore...

    Help get me emissions legal

    Hi All - I took delivery of my 04 CO coupe last Friday night - super excited! Unfortunately, I now realize that I am going to be running into some emissions issues, primarily because the exhaust has no cats. Currently, the car is running BBK long tubes with a Bassani exhaust. It is my guess...

    2004 CO Find - Good value?

    I ran across this ad for a 2004 CO. I don't have a lot of specs on it yet except that it has a 2.3 Whipple and puts out about ~680 RWHP (I got exact numbers but didn't write it down). 46k miles. $28k. This seems like a fair price, but I wanted to get your opinions! FYI - Hood is wrapped...

    Changing the block - does it affect value?

    I have been seeing a lot of cars for sale and I see some great builds that have done engine builds that are not stock block - Aluminator, Teksid, etc. What does this mean long term for the car's value? Obviously I am not looking at this from a purist view as the answer is obvious, but overall...

    Buying a Terminator via the forums is likely to result in a long distance purchase. Talk about ways that a buyer can help to alleviate buyers remorse when purchasing remotely. Here are some initial thoughts: Get a remote inspection. What is the best way? Who do you trust? Will sellers...

    Terminator Devalue per 1k miles on ODO

    I am going to be writing a couple of threads to help answer some questions and hopefully help others out in the process. The question here is: How much per 1,000 miles (body) does a Terminator lose in value? e.g. Considering two identical cars, if one has 30k and the other 40k, how much less...

    Opinion on this 03 Convertible I am looking to buy

    Hi all - I am a new to the forums and a relative noob to the late model mustangs and have been spending a lot of time just getting my head around all of the options. I ran across this local CL ad for a 2003 Convertible Cobra Terminator. Can you please give your best guess at a reasonable value...
