Wrong, 94-04 are considered SN95, the new edge moniker stuck to the 99+

I'll work on a few more vids in the next couple days.

No X or H

Headers on ebay, called "LS1 shorty swap header" from the user FASTKSGUY, they are about 200 shipped, all stainless, he said he will be releasing a few new LS sets soon or may have already

Nice, thanks. Did they fit without modification? Did they require an aftermarket steering shaft?

What was the dyno numbers, how and what did you do for the hydraulic clutch setup?

Thanks.

Are those headers the ones listed for a fox body or are they for the 99 - 04 ?

Clutch is oem Camaro throw out bearing converted to -4 fittings and a Howe Racing G3 master cylinder.

The headers I found are not listed for a Mustang, just LS1 swap headers, here's the link,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160733059160?redirect=mobile

Dyno was 325rwhp and 365rwtq, fuel pressure was falling to about 20psi past 4,000 due to a restricted filter, should have the car back on the dyno in a week or so, expecting much better torque.
