Hey! Mr.70MACH1OWNER how much HP gains do you think the long tube headers got you?.....Hey! after reading your post about you running around sticking your magnet on everything at breespeed! you got me paranoid I went out and put a magnet to my new FRPP Stingers there all T304 SS, man I'm going to quit reading your posts your scaring the **** out of me...
Also took the Stang for a spin, the motor mounts resolved my steering shaft rub on the header....
Also took the Stang for a spin, the motor mounts resolved my steering shaft rub on the header....It's tough to say about the headers in my case. I would think no more than 10 hp max. Since I was already running the off road pipe on the last dyno pull in Oct. Brent told me in the fall that longtubes are worth about 20 hp from a stock car. But half of that comes from removing the cats and half from the longtubes. Good to hear about the rub going away. Larry in going to get a set in the next few weeks because he has the same rub on his longtubes.

In your case...I would think the silver tinsel to match your dash. It didn't look like it came in carbon fiber.

Are you thinking of changing wheels?
Or are you speaking of cams, longtubes and driveshaft? If so that's more like 2 K! It has not been 48 hrs since my last mod and I am worried that I am out of N/A mods. Other than breaking the engine apart going stroked or porting the heads I can't think of anything else to do to the engine. Have I peaked while staying N/A?

Scott, you can always do a GT500 throttlebody, MSD coil-on-plug connectors, and a TCI torque converter. Add to that some rear-end gears and you'll be set. And you know that ported heads are an easy swap.......

I really didn't think any throttle body would help me that much at my level. Why would the GT500 TB be any better than the BBK that Ben put on?
