So far I like about a tenth of the 'mods' you're doing with your car. Everything under the hood looks good, but why would you take styling advice from Bootsy Collins?


oh, you know, it's the SPF 1500 style sunroof...cuts down even more on the U.V. rays, so he can't get any more fried! :shakeass:
Well, at least the car is probably a big hit in the July Fourth parades and such...

That was not even more than 1 days tip money so like i really care just wanted to see what it looked like for 2+ years got a few extra dollars and did it.

Can't sit around all day thinking about what this might look like just gotta try it. I never look out the sunroof anyway so the stripes don't bother me at all.

At least more mods on my car means less time i have to get myself into trouble and 1 step closer to the car being done.

Thank you someone understands the car when i got it was white with blue pinstripes and little small surface rust spots showing up everywhere slowly.

The more mods the more i takecare of the car and don't want to sell it or wreck it or just forget all about it all together.

when the car was on the lift for the trans-cooler the lift broke and sprayed tranny fuild all over the drivers side took a mini lift and some stacking of stuff to get my car down. My mechanic was nice enough not to write out a ticket i still paid him since the car was not messed up and i got a free car wash so there still is nice people in this world. Paint is staying next car i will paint like a Blue angel or A-10 Tank killer or yellow with black stripes and 03 cobra rims i got more ideas those just seem to be the ones that stand out.

FYI - Amarillo info:

Did you ever get a wideband?  Is there a shop in Ol' Yeller that dyno tunes?

Have you considered putting a TC nose on the car?  Just a thought, you could run a single stripe from the nose over the car.  You could do the same thing with two stripes, but a single stripe might work better with what you're trying to do.

A TFS stage 2 with:

What heads?
What size valves?
What valve springs?
What is the WOT shift point RPM's?


Judging by your sig, you need quite a bit of other supporting hardware not only to effectively run that cam, but to run it at all!

BTW, 3000 stall or more....  NOTHING LESS!!  I'd go 32-3400.

If you don't want to upgrade that other stuff don't bother with that Stage 2 cam.....

Stock E7 heads got a stock AOD and 2200 stall for now and it was only $50 and i got to get the head gaskets upgraded before i install the vortech S-Trim and i will get the transmission rebulit before i swap the cam.

next year i am going to save up for this

new Boss 302 block
AFR 185cc heads
1.7 roller rockers
Steeda Cam #20
canton racing oil pan
all steel forged everything
12-16psi vortech pulley
SCT chip and tune

So as far as that trick flow stage 2 cam goes only be used for about 10-16months then i am going to sell my 306 bottom end with the cam and whatever else i don't need. Also i had like 75dollars in change laying around the house and its not like i don't own 700+ video games so i thought i might as well buy a nice cam in good shape for $50 hell i still will have money left over after i go to the bank.

a boss 302 is also a stroked 4.6 basically... I see no reason for you to throw out your motor in trade for a mod...

unless your gonna make way over 400hp it'd just be a waste of time...

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

?????

You're thinking of the Aussie motors we were discussing in the other thread, maybe?

The first Boss 302's were windsor block V8's.  The new Boss 302 blocks from Ford are pushrod blocks that cost over $1700.  It IS a waste unless you're going north of 400+ RWHP, I dare say 500...550 with a motor plate.
