Bad Boys of the 4.6 Section
This is my 1998 Ford Mustang GT. I purchased this car from a good friend of mine, which has also had several mustangs in the past. It started out just like every other Mustang GT on the road today, but don’t they all! Among the first additions to the car was a mild face lift that included a Cobra R hood, Cobra front valance, Steeda street wing, stars & stripes flag pony, a set of smoked headlights and corners, a little vinyl, and a set of 2K Cobra R wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 275/40/ZR17’s. After doing research about the Steeda Performance Company, I decided that was the ticket for me. After adding the basic bolt-on’s (under-drive pulleys, Steeda Cold Air intake, FRPP 70mm TB, & Screamin’ Demon coil packs), some machine work was needed to optimize these accessories. After some gasket matching and de-burring the intake was reassembled. Next, it was time for some suspension work. First came a set of Eibach Pro springs, full length tubular sub-frame connectors welded in, Steeda X2 ball joint kit, Steed HD rear sway bar, and Steeda HD upper rear control arms. Now it was time for my ride to have some growl to it. Installed was a stainless steel Magnaflow 2.5” exhaust with stainless steel X-Pipe, exiting 3” stainless Magnaflow laser-engraved tips. Next on the list were a Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter with Steeda rubber grip shift ****, King Cobra Clutch pack, and Steeda firewall adjustable clutch cable kit. Also, a Cobra rear-end with stock gear ratios. As far as electronics, I installed a Custom Tuned Diablo chip, Autometer Phantom air to fuel ratio and fuel pressure gauges in pillar gauge pod, & Electro Luminescent white face gauge kit. I also have a Steeda strut tower brace, billet aluminum fuel pressure regulator and, 24# injectors to install, but waiting on Steeda 4 bolt caster camber plates and high flow fuel rails to come in. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on the future upgrades and pics. Chad G. Dothan, Al.
