they can push over 1200 hp, my goal for mine is 1000hp, another 5-6 thousand $ and i should hit it

my talon hero john shepard is pushing 1300hp and running the 1/4 in 7.7sec at 190mph with full interior


here is a link to a vid of his car

Lets see....

I have a 02 lighning, 02 supercrew, 00 zx12r, 97 mark vii, 86 big block f250, 67 fairlane, and I think that is it right now. Lightning is black, supercrew is white, bike is red, lincoln is white and the fairlane is in pieces. I had a few mustangs and few other lincolns and a big body 78 bronco, but those are gone. Had about half a dozen bikes in the same number of years. Full size cars are work, just getting them to drive right everyday can be a challenge. Never had a new car, too cheap for that...

Every vehicle listed so far are all nice rides !

I whole heartedly agree to a point, I can easliy afford new but I'm old school. My method of thinking has always ben that anybody can finance a sweet ride, but building one yourself is the way to go. The other side of the coin is; I have restored,painted,customized at least 13-14 personal cars/trucks over the last 25years and I have sworn to myself that my Jeep is the last. To much dam work,I'm buying new next time ! I'd rather have payments than break my nutz at home.

I'm not a dodge expert, but I believe you can tune that injection system a bit (chip, programmer?) to compensate for the headers, cam, and rockers you'd need to get about 300hp at the crank. If you want more like 400hp, I'd swap in a 360 with aftermarket heads, and troll the dodge forums for what you'd have to do with the fuel injection system to support that power ie injectors, tuning etc. The easy way out would be to just swap to a carb, but there are drawbacks there too with emissions, possibly mileage, etc.

Personally I'd go in stages. headers shouldn't require any tuning and will give a noticable 15+hp increase alone and possibly better mileage. Supposedly roller rockers add another 10+hp on those engines. A mild cam that won't kill low end torque or mileage on top of these parts = 20+hp. Tuning the injection system for all these bolt ons should be another 10-20hp and shouldn't be needed until you do the cam swap.

Daily Driver:
'97 Mazda Protege LX. 1.5L DOHC I-4, 5 spd, K&N filter, KYB GR-2 struts, performance radiator (not needed, but the stock one leaked and this was cheap), Bosch cap, rotor, and wires, NGK Iridium IX plugs, and 40+ MPG in the summer. These are old pics, but the best i have. I ditched those hideous hub caps and got some Ford Escort wheels for it, looks much better now.




Fun Car/Toy:
'02 Ford Mustang GT. 4.6L SOHC V-8, 5 speed, Steeda short-throw shifter w/ Bullitt shift handle, boot, and ring, Steeda adjustable timing pulley, K&N CAI, C&L 80mm MAF, Magnaflow catback (stock manifolds, cats, H-pipe, etc.), Steeda UDP kit (put Ford pulley back on the alternator, Steeda pulley was causing alternator problems), Mach 1 chin spoiler, Bullitt pedals. Stock suspension but it rides and handles a ton better than the Mazda

These are the AutoTrader pics, don't have any good ones of my own yet. The side windows are tinted at 25%, the rear at 35%, and it has SpeedHui white-faced gauges now.





And the incredible noise it makes:

I need to get a better exhaust vid, that was taken cold and I didn't want to rev the piss out of a cold engine.

EDIT: The question that's really got me right now is: Do I want a Barrett M95 or should I pull the engine (still under 100k miles, just) and have it completely rebuilt and tricked out. The Barrett is about $4,000 and with that much money I could get 500HP or so

Nice rigs you guys.
Jeff I swear I saw that photo of the LR in a magazine somewhere. That's cool, looks like it would be an advertisement if it has the advertisement.

Magman I know just how you feel!

I was ready to poke fun at you Sullie for not having any photos of your stang. Then I found that I don't have but a handful of mine

These are the best pics I found. The receeding hairline in the car is a friend.

Pretty much stock 65 mustang, 289, AT, MS, MB, MW, MS, ML It manual everything except for hte Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Even the wiper fluid is manually pumped from a windex bottle from behind my seat. No rust to speak of. Cowl leaks a little common problem but not easy to fix. A friend rebuilt the motor for me last year. I tackeled a carb rebuild a month ago. I had myself talking into it being hard but wasn't bad and made a big improvement.


Some of you that have noticed my "A Horse's Ass" avitar will recognize last winters picture. I wasn't saying I was a Horses As. The picture is of A horse's ass..

[JThiessen]

If my pic was used in a magazine, I should be getting royalty checks sometime soon!

That 'stang of yours is gonna be worth some serious money - I love those stock ones. (I love the windex bottle washers!)

I think it fits you as well Guy. You are an ass. Not in a bad way, just an ass. I am an ass too. My friends keep telling me that. I laugh at them, as that is the best they can come up with. A bunch of halfwits, not much fun for the sarcastic pimp. But they buy me drinks, and ask my advice, so I guess they like me. I never give them very good advice, but I do drink the drinks, and smile when they call me an ass. So I guess they feel good cause they have a razor sharp-witted friend who enjoys their company (mainly the drinks) and gives them (shitty) advice. At least all of the girls we hang around are attractive, gives me something to look at while I drink free drinks and dole out worthless advice.

When you have a superiority complex it is next to impossible. People tell me I have a complex anyways, but I just think I am superior. Not superior to everyone, just about 99% of the people I have met, seen or heard about. This forum is pretty good though, not too many dumbasses (you know who you are).

I can appreciate that, Most people are just stupid by nature. Commom sense is a luxury most people can't seem to afford regardless of their finacial situation ?

The STi has a nice trick up its sleeve with the DCCD...





The little thumb wheel adjusts the torque & you see the current setting displayed between the fuel & temp gauges...here's a borrowed explanation - I'm being lazy...

"The driver makes adjustments to torque distribution in the manual mode via the console-mounted control wheel or entrusts distribution decisions to the DCCD control module through the automatic mode, the ratio of front/rear torque distribution can vary from 35 percent front/65 percent rear to 50 percent front/50 percent rear.

In automatic mode, DCCD varies torque according to input indicating acceleration, deceleration, cornering force and wheel slippage. In manual mode, the driver selects from six stages of center-differential lock-up. The more lock-up, the greater the torque directed to the front wheels – up to the 50 percent front/50 percent rear ratio. Mechanical limited-slip front and rear differentials enhance the system’s effectiveness"
