No you do not need a new water pump I dont think I would let that guy work on my car, you will get about 8 hp not enough to notice but every little bit helps, I put them on my GT and had no problems.

You don't need a new water pump and from what I'v heard it is very easy to intall so I'd just do it yourself and not waste the money by having someone else do it. Spend some time with your baby and learn about her...

It's not a install for the first-timer though. It can be frustrating. No parts necessary.

I know it's not easy, but it can be done by a first timer. It is def. a job to save your money on by not having to take it in.

Kubball is right, spend some time with your baby, no telling what you'll learn about her.. the way to a womans heart is through knowing her every inch...

Polished? holy crap, who is gonna see it anyway? black is beautiful. plus cheaper... 10 hp for two hundred bucks... about like a CAI but a little cheaper than most of what you guys paid.

They are next on the list after installing the new suspension this weekend.

krafty,

thank you much on the link. thats exactly what Im gonna order.
http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=186

now, what about what stonemonk said. He's telling me that his pulleys cause :
"gauge lights will go off my a/c or heat will slow down in the winter the car wuld somtimes not start in the mornings".

can this be a result of poor installation, perhaps maybe cuz he has an older model, or is this just something to expect from this upgrade. I live in NY and it gets cold here in winter, i cant have the car not starting on me. thats a NO NO.

any comments. anyone else have these issues or whats the deal. thanx again fellaz.

your both right, Krafy and Kubball. If i get them, ill install them myself and learn more about my baby as you guys say.
