Okay, after my poor experience with ET-style lug nugs (which broke off INSIDE the wheel, forcing me to drill them out and destroy a rim) and snapping factory studs, I purchased some Steeda/ARP studs for the rear.
The problem is that Steeda tells me I have to drill out the holes using a 39/64"...
Aarrgh! I am so frustrated right now! After searching the forums, I came across this link to connect the '04 factory radio to an iPod:

I thought I had found salvation - I've got an '04 with a satellite-ready radio - problem solved! Nope...
Okay, I posted this in the suspension forum and didn't get much of a response. Hopefully you guys can help me out.
I ordered a set of KB sport springs (1.5 inch drop all the way around, supposedly) and this weekend installed the rears first. When I took the stock ones out, they were almost...
Okay, tell me what i did wrong. Ordered a set of KB sport springs (1.5 inch drop all the way around) and they show up no problem. Today, I start on the backs first - go get a coil spring compressor, fire up the air compressor, and I'm ready to go.
I take out the factory rear spring and notice...
Well, I slapped on an Amazon ported blower and a 2.8 pulley on Wednesday and drove to Houston to get it tuned. Yes - I drove 3.5 hours and stayed under 2,000rpm the whole way to avoid getting into boost.:bash:
After several runs to get the air/fuel corrected, my best was 461 hp / 471 tq. My...
Okay, it took 5 months for me to get up to 35 posts. But now that I'm there, I can at last get my custom avatar! :rockon:
What do you think?

Okay, here's the deal. I'm installing a ported Eaton and a 2.80 in a few days. I have an appointment with Houston Performance on Thursday to tune it. Sounds great, right? Only one problem: I'm in Austin!
So, would it be safe to drive it three hours to Houston on a stock tune if I kept out of...
Well, I got my SVT certificate in the mail yesterday! :thumbsup: I was a little surprised to see that, according to the certificate, Ford produced less than 4,000 Cobras in '04. That's a third of the numbers produced for '03.
So what do you guys think? Will the '04 be more collectable based...
Well, after four hours on my back in the driveway, I finally got my MRT o/r h-pipe on.:rockon: Thank God for my air compressor - I don't know how you guys get those manifold bolts off without one.
Pros:
1) Sounds awesome with my Flows! Not as loud as I was expecting, believe it or not...
I just ordered a 2.8 pulley and idler:rockon: but was wondering about upgrading my HE. How much extra heat is a smaller pulley gonna add when I stay out of boost 95% of the time?
Is upgrading to a more efficient HE:
A) a "necessary" mod when you pulley a Cobra
B) recommended when you...
