Why won't the 351 headers with LSx flanges work for you, z98?

What about the mach1? Low 13 second car stock, NA. I say ford did a kick *** job with them, im driving one over a cobra, and would make that choice agian anyday.

Ford doesn't make a powerful engine because they sell all they can build at their current HP output. It's cheaper to save R&D and there are less warranty claims when an engine isn't being pushed near its max output. It's all about about the money... hundred dolla bills y'all

Because I only found out about this option a few days ago!

I'll start a new thread about this, as I found my mustang already.

Sweet. As long as you know about it now, that's all that counts.
