Joe when it's all said and done i'm going to take this tight virgin mustang to the track just to quiet down all the car show haters !

Psshht..Lou doesn't even remember how to shift a stick car...

[9redfox3]

Ok guys another question... Do I buy the Stage-8 Locking Header Bolts or use the ones that came with the new bbk headers? You know they say about this vibration thing coming loose? Those are like $42 bucks ! Thanks

How do you like doing mods to the car? gets a little crazy sometimes huh? It's a good way to meet people and learn a lot about your car also. With all the parts you have upgraded you should be really happy with the end result, Good luck.

[stang540]

Your going to need a,good upper/lower intake too

[need4spd90]

cobra/gt40 intake i'd assume is the plan?

250 at the tires should be no problem

[9redfox3]

Whoops ! 93 cobra intakes that our at Todd's "stang79" house waiting to get powder coated I think smoke gray glassbeaded than ? I let the colors up to him this man does great work and is very good at what he does and too me it's the most important part of this build because I want everything to look clean and nice for the cars shows ! The 50 more hp that the build will bring is just a bonus not important it's "detailing" i'm looking for with the hood open.That's the cherry on the top !

[stang79]

its gonna be clean looking for sure

Todd you work speaks for it self not even worried my friend ! Thanks

Here's a pic of the water neck Todd powdercoated for me, he also removed all the casting lines and smoothed it...It's these little things that are going to make the engine look nice !

[9redfox3]

Guys where can I get some cap covers for the upper and lower intake bolts looking to buy the kit for better detailing ? Thanks

only thing is the long bolts for the upper wont work with the cobra intake i dont think..

[9redfox3]

I think i'm going to buy these ! Now Lou my question to you they offer the choice of 6 or 12 point bolts Which do you prefer for the build or doesn't it matter? Joe also going to ask them about the longer bolts for the cobra upper intake.. Thanks Joe
