Unit,
I'm going to ask you this with as much respect as I can muster...
"What the he#$ are you talking about?"
Like Mercury, I can't seem to find many threads at all started by you in this forum... so excuse me if I get a little miffed when you go ragging on our posters.
Just so you know there are a few HIGHLY intelligent members who post here frequently and try to answer questions when they can. So I guess I'm a ricer, as well as SD Wheeler, Mustang92, and many others....
I admit that I don't know much about the 5.0, but that isn't the engine that I deal with most of the time. I don't care If an engine is a push-rod 5.0, SOHC\DOHC 4.6, a rotary, or a steam locomotive... It all comes down to HP,TQ,weight, traction, gearing, and your power curve.... (and some fluid dynamics for you engineers...
)
I've been right next to and under my car every step of the way from a stock 15.3 timeslip to mid 12s. Intake\Heads disassembly\reassembly, pullies, nitrous, intercooler, the Procharger that leaked all into my induction setup....
TKO Tranny install... Man I guess I don't know a thing....
Mustang92 is one of the fastest N/A modular cobras out there... I guess he's just lucky...
SDWheeler set up a WHOLE NEW ported and polished head and intake kit for early modulars that will absolutely rape a 99-02 GT. I guess he just fell into that right?
These guys are just 2 of the many intelligent and knowledgable posters who frequent our board.
You've got to understand that the 5.0 has been around a long time and a LOT of folks know the 5.0 inside and out. It's just not the same with the modulars yet. There is a reason we have this forum, its to help those who need help. And lets face it, most new\uninitiated stang drivers are going to get a modular.
And to be honest, I'm glad the new folks come here. Post on the Corral and watch your post get buried. and if you think the IQs are dim here, I highly suggest you don't go to stangnet or Mustangworld....
I never said that ANY answer I gave to any question would always be correct. I'm not a mechanic, I'm not an engineer, I'm an old Navy squid who like to get dirty and go fast. But anyone who responds to a posted question does so because they want to HELP, if they didn't they just wouldn't respond.
I suggest you take any advice you deem bad and ignore it. (Just like every other forum on the internet)
I have the utmost respect for you Unit, but you just don't come onto this board and insult our posters. Its bad taste and doesn't help anyone or anything.
I hope you understand...
