I did it a few years ago and saw less than 10hp with a lot of bolt ons. I wouldn't expect more than 5-10hp. They don't respond well to excessive timing NA.

Really bold move on this car. Congrats for having the balls to venture out. I like it besides the GS stripes, just because I don't like them on any car. I'd sport it if it had chrome rims to throw off the mass matte.

If you are going to mod it a lot, then there isn't a better platform to build on than a 5.0 with the 6r80 and SRA. If you are going to cruise it and just do minor bolt ons, I'd go with the GT500.

Timing has a lot to do with it as well. Here is mine. Stock shortblock, full exhaust, 97 cobra cams, C heads, v2 at 6lbs and then 8lbs. 91oct. And of course an NA graph. [

I would have a tune on that thing before it rolled off the dealership lot. So much to gain from a tune. This is my exact plan. I have a 2.0 ecoboost fusion right now. The MKZ was out of my price range but in a few years I'll be all over it. It would be such a sleeper too, I bet it will take...

I don't understand how people go through life without applying for any credit cards or installment loans before their first major purchase. Then expect they will have a great credit history and are shocked when they don't. It doesn't matter how much money you make or have in the bank. A cash...

Depends. It is a two stage paint vs. redfire which is three stage. So that helps. The red is tough to match, for a quality job they should blend it. Are they blending the hood, fenders, and possibly the doors, along with a full front bumper and the side skirts? Or just the bumper and side skirts...

No kids or nephews so I spend $0.00 I discourage people from buying me any gifts if possible. I just enjoy having a few days to spend with family and eat good food.

they are speed density so no

Those Kangaroos have some brutal kicks, that guy should be glad he landed that one hitter quitter. I'd have done the same to save my dog.

It was damn loud. When I had that setup I also had 4.56 gears. I wore earplugs on the one trip I took on the highway because between the exhaust and blower (centri with tial 50), it was deafening. Switched out the gears and mufflers shortly afterwards and now it is enjoyable to cruise the highway.

I'll give you $100 shipped and paypald.

I had the Borla catback, o/r x, and longtubes and it was too loud. I cut out the borla mufflers and welded in some regular magnaflows. It is still loud, but sounds great. I like it better than the Borlas.

I haven't found a local place that can make an old fashioned to save their life. Best old fashioned I've had was at the MGM in Las Vegas at both the whiskey bar and at wolfgang pucks. Now i just make my own with Bulleit Rye, old fashioned and blood orange bitters, sugar in the raw, and of...
