    12 second pass possible? here are my times..

    I took the car to the track, only got 2 runs in. The first one sucked, I wont even post the times, here's the second. 13.4 @ 110, 2.3 60ft I had to do alot of throttle modulation in second cause it just wanted to spin and spin. Felt like a crappy run but the mph was good. Think I...

    misinformation

    I see alot of you people bitching about skinny tires on the new Cobra. Open a freshman physics book, educate yourself, and you'll find out that surface area does not affect static friction. So please, bitch about the awful weight ratio, but quit talking about the tires. 255's will hook just as...

I need to...

    96-98 Vobra questions

    How much did you pay for your kits and where did you get them? I plan on getting a custom tune so what extra fuel/ignition components am I going to need to purchase? Would I be better off (running about 8 psi) sticking with stock fuel components or upgrading MAF and injectors and the like...

    brake q

    First of all, the condition of my braking system: Mostly fine, squeaks when cold, probably the nature of the pads. Rotors are slightly warped, high speed braking=shimmey. Wheel bearing(s) shot, squeaks at low speeds. I got new pads and rotors from MM (woohoo upgrading). So I've got all those...

    brake job

    I noticed my pads in the front are dangerously low, so i'm going to change them. Here's the questions: What good pads can I buy locally (ie no mail order). I've heard Hawk HP... anything else? Anyone have any experience? Is anything extra-ordinary required when getting the rotors turned...

    What would you pay for an X-pipe that...

    had catalytic converters, but under WOT switched to straight through (bypass cats) automatically. It would be high quality materials and electronics, weight only slightly more than a catted X-pipe, and you would have the legality as well as the no-cat scream and pull when you mash on the loud...

    A combo for good power and reliability

    Does such a thing exist? I was thinking a simple bottom end rebuild (1700 from SHM) + Vortech SQ-Trim set up for a stock application might work really well. It wont make 500 rwhp or anything, but 400 rwhp+ stock top end to maintain driveability and longevity... What do ya'll think?

    What are condensors?

    Apparently they are some sort of device that blocks out radio interference? Anyone know anything about this? Apparently they fail prematurely and can cause upper RPM misfire.... which is my problem. Any info is appreciated. Dino
