    NOS 05115, will my injectors keep up?

    I'm currently running a TFS top end kit(Street Heat heads, intake, stage 1 cam) on my stock bottom end with 24lb injectors. What's everyone's opinion on how high I can safely take the jetting before I run out of injector?

    Trick Flow Top End Kit user's, please step inside

    I need to have my car tuned, but there isn't anyone locally that can do it. So those of you that have had a custom chip burned, who did it? I'd love to buy a TwEECer and do it myself, but I just don't have the time for the TwEECer's steep learning curve(I'm currently working on my Commercial...

    What fluid are YOU using in your T5?

    Just getting a general concensus. I've tried regular ATF, Redline D4, Redline MTL, and now I'm using Royal Purple synthetic ATF. I liked the Redline MTL the best so far. What fluid are you using in your T5? :flag:

My question's are the new FMS gear has a flat side and a side that has a little bit of a lip on it. Which side goes towards the front? My book...

    Measuring AFR with cats?

    How much do catalytic converters affect your measured air/fuel ratio? My last dyno session with a wideband showed my AFR around 14:1 during WOT. The dyno operator said I'm probably pretty close to where I should be because my cats will show the AFR as being leaner than it really is. Any truth to...

    Need some tuning advise

    So here's my situation: I just got my Trick Flow top end kit all finished and it has some minor driveability issues now. So I'd like to get it tuned. However, there isn't anyone local here that can do it. There is a shop that has a dyno and a wideband O2, but they are more into Imports and...

    Head gasket recommendations

    I'm doing my H/C/I this week. What does everyone recommend I run for head gaskets? It's a stock shortblock with Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads and a 125-175 shot of nitrous for good measure.:D

    Need some recommendations for finishing my combo

    Well, it looks like the 40+ bottles of nitrous I've used has finally taken its toll on my head gaskets. As I have exhaust gases present in the coolant. So since they are coming off, I need some recommendations on what I should put back on in place of the stock stuff. I'd like to keep the stock...

    AOD to T-5 questions

    I'm starting to gather parts for the swap in my daily driven 89 LX. So far I have an FMS Super Duty T-5 transmission and a Steeda Tri-Ax shifter. What does everyone recommend for a clutch setup, a flywheel(aluminum or steel), a scattershield, and a cable and quadrant? Mods are in sig.

    Bottle Warmer + Cigarette Lighter

    Since my bottle is mounted(not really mounted, just sits there with a blanket holding the top up - I know not safest idea) right behind the passenger seat for ease of removal and access. I'd like to put a cigarette lighter plug on my bottle heater so I can remove the whole heater/harness...

    Fuel pressure questions

    I just got done putting in a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump and a rail mounted fuel pressure gauge. What's the fuel pressure supposed to be, and how do I check it? The reading's I have now are 33-34 psi while idleing, and 39-40 psi while idleing with the vacuum line removed from the regulator...

    255 Walbro + stock regulator = ?

    I'm getting ready to order a 255 gph Walbro for my NOS 05115 equipped 1989 LX. Can I use the stock regulator with this pump? :SNSign:

    Dry nitrous users please step inside

    Finally hooked up my NOS 05115 dry kit today. Went through a whole bottle, jetted at a 100 shot, in about an hour. :nice: Question: How much will the stock fuel pump support? 125, 150, 175? Keep in mind that I believe mine is the original 1989 pump.

    My 76mm C&L MAF and intake tube review

    I mainly ordered this to have a cleaner install for my NOS 05115 kit. But since C&L has such a bad rap on this site, I figured that I'd give a quick review. Install was a piece of cake. Swapped out my Moroso CAI in favor of the stock box with a panel K&N as well. Whole swap only took about...

    Actron or Autoxray?

    I'm looking to get a better scan tool than my little flashing light POS. It's gonna be primarily for my 89 LX, but I'd like to be able to read data on my 1997 Cherokee and 2006 Super Duty as well. So far I'm leaning towards the Actron CP9150 or the Autoxray 5000. Anyone have any experience with...

    Stalling on deceleration?

    My Mustang starting stalling yesterday at stoplights. It only does it in drive and when it's warm. Thankfully it refires right back up and idles. If I shift into neutral before I stop it stays running. The car seems to run fine other than at idle. No problems with accelleration or cruise, just...
