32V HEMI JR.

Yup Im from SoCal. The GN is long gone. Turbo blew out. Replaced it but when it fried, it sent enough debris through the motor to destroy it. I lost the rings in 1 cylinder, then parked it and ended up selling it for close to nothing to some kid. That GN sounds like a freak!

Whats up Mike!

I dont know what made me look, but a thread for old timers? Any of you codgers remember me?

Yeah mine is over in louisiana. I asked the guy to sell it back to me and he wont. I'm wondering what he did to it though. he says he just got a new dyno tune and made 300rwhp and the guy was saying its so much stronger than most 99's....I asked what he did to it, to make it lose so much hp? I made 322rwhp and 314rwhp in the configuration it was in when it left...what a mistake..

Whats up guys. "Still" into the porsche thing? Never knew you ever started....last we talked you were into BMW's n stuff like that. I found some old thread somewhere saying you were going to sell the 99...take it that never happened?

Whats up bitches! Just kidding...sort of. I miss you guys. Lets continue where we left off....insulting each other, cursing and making death threats. Do they allow that here anymore?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whats up guys? Been a long time since the good ole days when this site was the best around. Good memories...Whatever happened to Mike Lovrich (transman) and norm and oliver and all u dudes? Anyway, I thought Id throw this out there even though the traffic seems non existent. We need to bring this place back to life! I think the site started dying when it started getting policed and everyone lost thier sense of humor. Insults and threats were critical for the life of this forum. Ive been on hiatus for awhile due to work commitments and Im open again to doing up intakes or whatever again. Anyone who isnt familiar with my work, should be able to find old threads. Typically there is a 2-3 week turnaround and the cost is $300 shipped for 99-01 cobra/mach 1 intakes. Gains of 15rwhp were common on 4V motors with an opened up intake path (MAF, intake tube, K&N, and exhaust mods). I gained 17rwhp personally. Short runner intakes arent on the menu given the amount of money and time needed to make them. I'm also free to port other intakes like 2V and 03-04 as well as aviator. Cost for those are dependent on the work desired. Thanks! Brent

In 5.0, or 5.0 mustangs and superfords? He told me it was the latter, and he gave me a shout-out for the intake work. Ive gotta find this magazine, but the pickens are pretty slim around here. As far as the pulley fiasco goes, I was on the other end of an AIM session with Ollie, when he was trying to figure out how to do his pulleys. I had to leave for awhile, and when I came back, he said he was still having issues. I said, "I hope you have the right pulley puller, and you're not using one of those small ones that will drive the nose into the threads and rip them out". He responded with an "Oh fuck God no!" He had done what i hoped he hadnt. I blame it on my boss who made me leave the computer for a couple hours. Sorry Ollie, wish I couldve advised you in time. You surely have come a LONG way, and we're all very proud of where you are today. Congrats!

Years ago, this was a huge problem that destroyed alot of cobra engines. Im afraid yours is probably gone as well. If you would have done a search on all the mustang boards, you would have seen MANY threads on the subject. People all ended up with scored cylinder walls, shot rings, broken ringlands, etc. It basically came down to this. Because of extremely poor quality control, the mac longtubes were filled with weld slag, weld remnants and all sorts of abrasive stuff...basically dirt or sand. You fire the motor up, and all the crap finds its way into your intake manifold through the EGR and eats your motor alive. I never did buy that excuse though, because most of the intakes have alot of oil built up in the lower plenum, which would catch most of this stuff. I believe the vacuum created in the headers during engine braking, as well as some of the resonant pulses were carrying this crap right into the cylinders. The flow isnt always in 1 direction. Anyway, I had the macs on mine, but mine were used and came off of a cobra that had already been eaten alive. It had been consuming so much oil that all the primaries were coated about 1/8" thick with carbon when I bought them. I hoped that because all that crap had already been blown out, that my engine wouldnt get shot. I flushed all the tubes with carb cleaner, hosed them out, blew them out with compressed air, and even took a die grinder to the primary entries. There was ALOT of weld sticks and junk in there when I started, but when I was done, they were ok. My engine never did get destroyed, but the quality did suck and they were prone to warping and creating exhaust leaks. i went through about 9 exhaust combos. By far the best combo was stock exhaust manifolds with a tightly sealed dr. gas x-pipe and a magnaflow catback. It sounded incredible and was faster that it was with the longtubes. Sorry to hear about your engine troubles. Off topic: why do I have only 3 posts? I was one of the biggest posters on here.

Last time I talked to transman was on AIM about a year and a half ago. He was still deep into the turbo diesel scene. I imagine he still is. How has everyone been?

Damn where is the pulse? How you fags been? :D Where is Oli, and when is his car going to be in 5.0 magazine?
