I actually did find 2 seized calipers when I changed the brakes this weekend. Hopefully I can pickup a MPH or 2 from that.

 

You still wont run low 13s and trap 140mph like 2SSARME so it's all for nothing....

 

Because i dont like cross breeding brands. I give credit were credit is due. I would never waste my time swaping in na 4.6. I accept the ford stuff is not as good as gm stuff in most eras. I like me mustang itself so wouldnt cross breed just to have the chassis. I dont like the way most gm cars look or i would have one. But i do own a ls based 5.3 silverado

 

No I know your not picking on them. Hell I will race anyone even if they are slow. Nothing wrong with handing someone his lunch. You have a cool car. I actually looked at one for a dd but the gauges look like toys and the blind spot sucks otherwise I really liked it.

Hoping for 9's, got the built trans back today...We will see...

 

Man it went from a chat room to everyone finding another thread to play in. What gives?

 

ouch...why did you punch me...lol You wish
Newskool, there was a guy at MIR when I was there with PACMAN on his tag with a nasty fast Mach. I think he went 9.6 or 9.8. Cool guy and chatted with him a bit. I don't know if he is a member of any boards but if he is it would probally be worth it to talk to him to compare ya'lls set-ups. He still had the man pedal in his car
You think???? I think your needing heavy mods and a tire just to keep up. Always looking for some advantage are't ya.

 

I kinda thought you always wanted an advantage in the racing sport???

JLT RAI = heavy mod
Shifter = heavy mod

 

Yea a n/a 4.6 would be such a waste in your notch

 

I don't get why you guys are jumping all over 92cobranotch. I think he's pretty straight forward about it and looks at things unbiased. I love my fbody, but I am not going to drink the GM coolaid like some of you mustang guys do, so don't expect others like notch to do the same and fall in line. He obviously likes his mustang and is putting the time and money into but is still is down to earth other platforms pro's and con's.

 

92cobranotch is a straight up guy. Calls it how it is. Still hasn't asked for a ride in the car yet though. I think he's scared he might want one lmao

 

I loved my 98 Mustang GT, but I drive a Z28 now.

 

92Slowbranotch aka Nathan is really cool and not brand bias by any means. And like Phil said straight up and has a great sense of humor. I have met him in person. He is too ******* tall but thats another story...

Hope Slowbra found some traction-he is going to need it!!

 

I believe your leaving a few out. Not when your raceing a bone stock car. Your admitting defeat before you ever run.
For real. It would need every bolt-on just to reach the 11's. A 5.0 would be though.
^^^^^This
He would definitly want one. He could actually fit in that car....

 

You're*

racing*

It's not that hard...


Anyways, what might I be leaving out? We are running out of mods here...lol. Is it the $190 gears or the craptastic MAC midpipe? Other than the shifter that's it!

And I can't understand the rest of your post. Clear that up please...

 

gears can be the #1 mod....but you still have to match them to the engine. typical ford ohv engines(fox body era 5 liter) stop pulling right around 5400rpm. so leaving the engine mostly stock, and slapping 4.11's in the rear, will give you one helluva holeshot, but you're gonna run outta engine up top.

 

YEP!!! This is what I think my problem is in 3rd and 4th. I'd like 4.56s through 2nd then go to 3.55s in 3rd and 4th.

 

Well they need it to yank off the line, I've never known them to have good top end n/a. Of course maybe that's because everyone puts the gears in them?

 

Then I guess Lazerlemon did a good jod for out running a Mach with a more favorable gear.
Everyone packs gear in them because it makes up for not having much torque. Then they run out of steam up top because they don't have much power either.

 

i don't know. i've not driven a 4.6 hard at all. if they're like the ohv fords, they stop pulling around 5400rpm. that sucks. it'd be ok with 3.73's, but any higher. and you'll run outta engine.

to be honest, virtually the ONLY thing i like about the 4.6 engine line, is that i made a lot of money off of them in the shop. they had a lot of stupid problems early on. used to develop vacuum leaks, burn oil, lose coil packs........that's what i liked about them.
i never wanted a mustang with one of those engines....and to be honest, i never liked the mustang, or the camaro of that generation. but at least the camaro was fast, even if it was fudly looking.

on a side note, i got into the gt a little tonight, playing with a mercedes.....the engine was still pulling strong passing 6500rpm.

 

Absolutely! Now had the driver of the Mach been a good one it would have made for a hell of a video!
