my buddy that does alot of drag racing, but doesn't know mustangs really said that when you do engine work the stock one wont be good enough... never heard this to be true with our stangs... but maybe in general, he has been drag racing for a while. Any insight anyone?

im surprised that no one noticed my dual oil caps!

when i got the heads i received new valve covers too, so i used one new and one of my old ones so oil fillups go twice as fast?? probably not, but i like doing this...

Asking someone to add a little oil to my car. If they do not notice there is two caps and start filling up with one, I yell in a panic and say "what are you doing, thats the wrong fill cap you are using!!!!"

thanks, just bought a new OEM one online, unfortunately it will not be here by Easter... Looks like I'm saying at school for Easter instead of home with the folks

Plus i can't drive it around with it like this and i really really want to drive it! I drove it to a parking spot and it had LOADS more power in the low end, as in i just push the pedal a hair and my shoulders get pushed back! I CAN'T wait to get this fixed and get a chance to get on it!


PS: in one of the early pictures on the first page, you can see a neon being worked on in the back ground, he removed the muffler and has a straight pipe... He asked me how it sounded, and i almost laughed. However, I'm polite and said that was "good" (killed me inside). He then said that it was louder then mine, i smiled and said lets start mine up and see... (missing mid pipe ) He changed his mind quickly.

Oh, the reason for the mid pipe being off was becuase i noticed on my mac O/R h there was a lip on the cross over section. Like someone cut a small hole in the two straight pipes going back and welded two small sections across... I dremeled down the lip til it was flush with the cross over. Anyone else notice this on their mid pipes?

DAMN, I noticed them before I read this post! I was thinking, "uhh why does he have 2 oil fill ports???" You should go to a quick lube place and watch their reaction.
