N/A Mustang will do alright, i mean mine isnt anything crazy, pretty mild setup by todays standards, and i went 11.82@112 with timing pulled out of it for spray. Depending on what ya do Paul, ya could have a pretty nice setup there, plus you dont have to deal with boost, or running out of bottle all the time. Just get it tuned once and your done…

i’ve seen built big port heads for around 2000-2500 if not more haha
a big port head is a head out of a 97-99.5 audi a4 1.8t iirc and out of a 98-99.5 passat 1.8t.

no they are tough to come by these days. bare castings go for like 700 used., cams are like 1000, valves, springs, retainers and lifters, all said and done its like 3000$
then youve got to either buy new oem bolts, or get ARP bolts for it so thats another 200bucks or so. then you need an intake manifold for it, and in order to get the RIGHT one, i would have to change IC piping around for it.

Definately getting a tune this time around. I wanted to this year but mechanical issues prevented that.
I heard some Mustang tuner is going to be using Redlines shop sometime in the spring to tune Mustangs. Matt told me that.

Yeah we had sloths heads checked and such at that Napa. And double check who is doing the tuning at Redline, because some “tuner” tuned Cobra Joes car, and it misses HARD at like 5K…

Yeah theyre probably alot more familar with domestic v8’s than imports.
Tom (1stgen) on here knows his VW shit though.

The heads are getting checked really good and so are the valves to see if one or more are bent.
I really dont have any info about the tuner. Somebody Matt knows told him about it. Im sure he’ll get more details.
Some tuner also told Joe his car is the fastest Cobra he’s seen or something like that. That alone makes me wonder about that tuner.

I didnt remember the exact wording of it. I just knew it wasnt the fastest Cobra around.
