Just installed some Ford Racing Spark Plug wires and Iridium plugs, flushed the engine with some Royal Purple Synthetic oil and have run so far one bottle of Lucas Oil Fuel Injection cleaner
I'll give ya a ring on the intake ;)

And do you realize that just in plugs, wires, and oil alone you've probably raised your horsepower 3-7 at the crank :D

I do like a full exhaust, and I am very interested in the cold air kit you have, powder coated Ford Racing Blue please.

True the underdrive pulley makes a huge difference... And you know Joe if you wanna go cold air, I could get one made for you and powder coated in whatever color you like ;)
And if you're looking to do exhaust, don't skimp by overlooking the headers, cause without them you wont see any serious gains.

[quote="cargodz"]Well there's all kinds a goodies for the 4.6ltrs... So no question on the ability of making her fast :D
I'm not a huge Ford fan, but I have nothing against them... I just believe that Fords are great for Ford People and I'm not a Ford Person so I think they just don't like me owning them LOL.
The only real downside I can see to it is that is a drop top... weighs a bit more than the hardtop and not good for SPL as you loose to much through the top LOL :p
And I would imagine our friend Joe here will only let that plastic interior go for so long before mods are being put in place ]


I have already started thinking about mods, and you are right, the plastics are not fun. Squeeky everywhere. I won't be competing with this car in SQ comps, it will be a fun daily driver and a sweet sounding drop top. that is all I plan on doing with that car. first on the agenda is pulleys and a cold air kit, then lowering springs then full off-road exhaust with long tube headers.

After all that is in place, I will go for sound system.

GT 4.6L 2V 5-speed. I like it muchness

Looks good to me. Is it a 6 or 8?

Wow, thanks for raining on my parade. Actually, this car will be my daily transportation to and from work, and I will actually build it up to show, but once it is paid off, I will be purchasing a Challenger R/T 6sp...but that is a few years down the road.

Also this car is a one owner car, and it only has 109k miles, for 10yrs old, that is quite the deal. Clean CarFax...it is one very nice lil car...has normal 10yr wear and tear, but, overall, it is quite nice. And ready for a twin turbo kit Michael. LOL.

That's actually kinda old now :) . I didn't like the quality of the interior on those years tho, I think it was made with the wrong type of plastics.
