I own a 4.0l 210 hp mustang. what are the pors and cons of replacing this engine with a a) GT 500 hp engine or b) any other mustang engine powerful than my current one? if so where can i get more details about this like price and other options.
Also I have a 93 volvo w/ B230 engine, can i replace it with something more powerful? if so what can i replace with?
Also tell me about the 4.8l interceptor engines that are being sold online. Thank you
Thanks.

The Volvo is the same deal...it's not a car worth modifying because you'd have to do something really radical.
You might look into supercharging or turbocharging the V6:
Here's a link for that:

That should boost you up to perhaps 275HP or so or maybe more, depending on what you do, and should cost under $3,000.

Any tips?
Seriously though, slotted rotors are not at all needed unless you are at a decent level of racing.

Any suggestions?
Also, what do I need to know about the wear issue on pads...I assume that slotted rotors wear down pads quicker?
Well in that case go for drilled and slotted. Slotted rotors provide zero extra braking when used in a non-race situation. For bling factor they are great for the street, but do not kid yourself into thinking they actually will help on the street.
As for wear, they will grind down your pads quicker and cannot be resurfaced, which are both downsides to using them on the street.

Also...I am looking for a billet grille for my 08, but no one seems to have one. I have checked all the most obvious places...any recommendations? I am looking for an upper and lower set like Trenz offers.
PS...I have an image of what I want, but I do not know how to post it here.
