    My Radiator Shell

    Chris you can buy the fake filler neck from speedway motors then get the wings or bone top with or without moto meter lots of choices.

    best timing for super charged engine

    Sounds like a bad a$$ mustang. Im a chevy guy but i do like the mustangs alot,except for the 95 my wife owns that i have to work on lol. I love the sound of them with flow masters,standard shift and throw in a turbo or supercharger man thats sweet and hard to beat. Thanks for the info on the gauge.

    best timing for super charged engine

    Will do. I was going to try to get mine done for it but after hearing of the entry fee ,and cost of gas for my truck with the trailer .We are just going to take my buddies 27 t roadster. That way we can split the cost of the entry fee and you get two admission tickets . Im about 1 hr from...
