Default noob here

hey guys hows it going? my name is kevin and i am from rochester, ny. i have always wanted a mustang when i was a kid and i finally picked one up. i found a 1995 cobra svt for 4500 but talked the guy down to 3500 and i drove her off. a couple quirks that need to get fixed up overall a decent car. only had 2 previous owners both 70 year old guys. i am new to fords since i always been a import guy. i had plenty of civics n/a and boosted, econo-box toyotas and i recently went domestic. i also have a 2004 saturn ion redline that i am currently building since i blew the piston skirt doh! but anyways ill deff have alot of questions and hope you guys can help me out with out too much bashing hah. well lets see how this goes.

thanks for the warm welcome guys. yeah i know how other guys my age treat their cars so i know how to shop. sucks im still stuck in the 14 second range still i have plans for this car once my ion redline is done. im just waiting on the timing chain tensioner then i can set timing then she is all done!

so far the supporting mods i have for my ion are: diamond forged pistons, eagle rods, arp headstuds, cometic hg. my go fast mods are: 2.8 pulley, 60# injectors, cobalt addiction header, cobalt addiction 2.5" catless dp, and hptuner. before she went boom she dyno'd 242 whp. with just the pulley, injectors, and tune. not to shabby for a saturn haha. i want to supercharge the stang and see how it goes from there but idk since winters in new york kinda suck and she is my winter beater too.

From what I've gathered (stuff like this piques my attention) it is her and she's about to be married. Figures right.

Edit: Oh yeah, and welcome to the forums. Also enjoy your newly found torque!
