Just hard to believe that there could be that much difference between one and the other for the price. _____________________________ She''''s for sale, I found a new project.

I'm a college student and anywhere i can cut corners and still get the results i want/need is greatly appreciated. trying to get my car to the 500hp level asap without spending to much. Probably do the JLT cold air and an acufab TB n Spacer. Easy bolts on that, unless im wrong should put me damn close to that 500 hp number. lol only 32 hp left b4 i hit that number haha _____________________________ 2003 Cobra Vert Black on Black on Black :) 2.8 Pulley Steeda CAI Bassanni X-Pipe Flowmaster Exhaust Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Steeda Adj Clutch 468 RwHP (in reply to baino) Post #: 3

I kept overheating on freeway whenever racing from my gears and now whenever I drive on freeway it lowers temp significantly. I would go as far as saying 25%+ _____________________________ 1996 gt with 4v swap , Visteon racing radiator, BBK coldair, Flowtech x pipe ,Steeda side exhaust, spec stage II , Nitto NT-01''s and motive 4.30''s 282 Rwhp 274Rwtq (in reply to Blownsvt) Post #: 7

Ya that was what I figured also, but there was a similar post on another forum and the person was asking about the radiator.  I just wanted to make sure. _____________________________ 2003 Cobra: jlt intake/accufab sbtb/steeda tri-ax/upr offroad x/magnaflow catback/irs brace/H&R sports/2.80 pulley & idler/Amazon tune 2006 Mustang GT: whipple supercharger/longtube headers/offroad h-pipe/magnaflow exhaust/4.10s/ custom dyno tune SOLD (in reply to Blownsvt) Post #: 9
