    Anyone running Steeda Yella Terra 1.72 rockers?

    Part number ST-2028? Think there will be any issues with valve cover clearance? Anything else I may run into if I go with these? :shrug: Mods are in the sig. Thanks in advance. :hail2:

    Question for you guys with the bucking/surging/running rich problems...

    How many of you guys with this problem have removed the charcoal canister (and left the vent line open to the atmosphere)? What about the vacuum line to the EGR - have you guys removed that, too? I'm trying to rack my brain as to why the car runs really rich out of the blue and then...

    Any dyno days coming up soon?

    Just curious, as I'd like to get the new motor done. :nice: EDIT: In the NY/NJ area.

    Car going into "default"?

    A search for "default" turned up nothing of any use. I've had a VERY weird idle problem for what seems like forever now. I replaced my Pro-M 75mm bullet with a C&L 76mm meter because I was told it was the problem. The C&L didn't clear it up. It's doing the same thing again (I've posted...

    I know how you all LOVE these kinds of threads - HP/TQ estimates?

    I'll be getting the car dyno'ed (3 pulls with A/F) on November 14th at Crazy Horse Racing in NJ, thanks to a fellow member here. I know it still needs to be tuned the RIGHT way before any real numbers can be guessed. I guess I'm just curious what kind of numbers you all think this pig is...

    What are everyone's thoughts on Explorer intakes?

    I currently have a ported Explorer intake on the car. The upper was ported for a 70mm TB (I'm running a 65mm), and the lower's been ported to a Fel-Pro 1250. Now a friend of mine brought this up to me the other day... Seeing as how Explorers are made for low-end grunt, do you think this...

    Oil fill tube to throttle body line question..

    When removing the baffle inside the valve cover for roller rocker clearance, do you need to cap off both sides of that line, or is it ok to leave it hooked up? I ask because I was replacing gaskets over the weekend (stock lower intake gaskets and EGR spacer gasket) and noticed some oil on the...

    How much would this hurt performance?

    Ok, so when we put the motor in the car, my dumbass thought that Fel-Pro 1250 intake gaskets were readily available. Boy was I wrong. With that said, both the lower intake and heads are ported to that gasket. We had no choice but to use stock-sized gaskets to get the motor done. Also, the...

    A9S ECM?

    After reading through this site, trying to find some better info on the ECM I'm running, I see that's it's for a California mass air car. What did the California cars get (or not get) that make it different? And is this ECM the reason why I can't use the "engine" light to get codes? :shrug...

    Why is it so slow?

    Hey guys, long time, no post. I figured you guys here would be more of a help trying to tune a 5.0 than the Lincoln sites I go to. Anyways, I went to the track last night and I have to say I was more than a little disappointed in the car's performance and the times I got. Granted, the timing...

    Stock '90 flywheel - 28 or 50oz.? And how many teeth?

    I need to get a new flywheel to the guy building my motor so he can balance everything, but don't know which one I need..? It's a '90 302 block, for what it's worth. Thanks for any help.:nice:

    Those of you with A9S ECMs and a T-5, question for ya..

    Ok, over the weekend I converted my car to mass air with an A9S ECM and a C&L mass air meter. Before the conversion, between shifts, the idle would drop like normal. Now, the idle kind of "hangs up" between shifts and it's getting annoying. I've had issues with the IAC before where the idle...
