    I want to get rid of the retard between shifts!!

    The time has come for tuning! Well, I know there are several functions I have to work on, but for christ sake, I wanna get rid of the timing retard (hanging idle) between shifts, most of all:bang: .. I guess P.M.S. is easier for learning, so... does it eliminate this? Or should I stick with...

    By all means, get AFR165 heads!

    :jaw: By all means, get those heads!! Let me start from the begining... I finished install on december, and I had some problems with rockers and valve covers, easily solved. My mechanic then suggested me to drive for some days, giving some time for the EEC IV to "learn" new patterns and to let...

    Original tri-bars 17" wheels will clear cobra/bullit 13" brakes?

    I´ll upgrade to 13" front and 12" rear brakes, and have to know if my stock 17" wheels will clear them. If someone has any info, please just let me know asap. (I can´t afford new wheels...)

    bullit suspension:Does it come with swaybar bushings?

    :shrug: While I was searching I´ve learned the Bullit swaybars have diferent diameters (front 28mm rear 23mmm), compared to 30mmm e 25 for our SN95 cars (please correct me if I´m wrong). I couldn´t find those bushings, and as far as I know they must be replaced when changing swaybars. What do I...

    bullit suspension: offset front bushings and different swaybar bushings?

    bullit suspension: offset front bushings and different swaybar bushings? sorry!!! :shrug: I´m planning also front and rear bushings replacement, and since the car will drop a little, do I need offset front bushings? And since the Bullit swaybars diameters are different than our SN95, do I need...

    o2 extensions for LTs

    I can buy either BBK or MAC, right? (does anybody know of another brand, maybe?). Can it be for 79-93 models, or it has to be for 94-95 only? (AT C-F-M I´ve found only o2 extension sets for 79-93) Thanks for any replies.

    AFR165 users: answer asap!!

    Sorry to ask you such a silly question, however, there´s a correct side for the heads (a head for the driver side and another for the passenger side), or they can be installed at any side. Is there an identification or number on these heads to diifferentiate them? Thanks for any info

    AFR165 heads arrived! No comparison...

    I was comparing the engineering development on these heads (AFR165)with my p-heads, and simply there´s no comparison. The ducts flow smoothly and are HUGE! Besides, the weight is ridiculously low. I still didn´t measure the valve coils specifications but they´re double with damper. Some small...

    BBK short o/r h-pipe for LTs are the same for SN95 and Fox stangs?

    I´m looking for my model (SN95) and about every performance shop has the 79-93 short h-pipes. Can it be used on my car (I´m buying BBKs ceramic LT). One more question, please: Do these headers fit ok on AFR165? Thanks a lot.

    long tube headers or performer manifold?

    :shrug: I´m about to install my AFR165, and together with my existing combo, what would bring more benefits in terms of hp, torque and SOTP, a LT exhaust or a performer intake (considering I got a cobra manifold slightly polished and ported, a XE270HR cam and MAC unequal p-headers, see...

    brand new performer manifold has all needed hardware?

    I´m leaning toward the edelbrock performer (I ordered AFR165 heads to go with), and would like to know if it comes as a complete kit (all the gaskets, nuts, bolts,etc, included), and where to buy (it´s NA at summit). As I need the elbow adapter for 94-95, the part has gaskets included? Also in...

    What valve springs for AFR 165? (AFR users!)

    :shrug: If you´ve upgraded your springs, what brand and specifications are you using? Even though my cam (XE270HR) with .512 lift and cobra intake won´t support too much beyond 5800rpm (if so), I think it´ll be safer if I had upgraded valves (another mod I´m thinkin is 1.7 rr). It´s not in my...

    What plugs for AFR165?

    I´m ordering the 60cc AFR165, so what plugs you AFR165 users got? The same autolites recomended on AFR site? Sorry, it has probably been answered before, but I swear I searched and haven´t found any thread... I should place an order tomorrow, I really appreciate if any blessed soul could clear...

    New(?) aluminum Dart heads flowing 260!!

    I´ve heard (Ford muscle magazine) about Dart aluminum heads, for street small block, at 170cc and 1.94 1.60 valves, flowing [email protected]. Is it for real? Anybody has flowing charts or any experience with those heads? These are bolt-on heads? Maybe a better and cheaper alternative to the famed...

    knocking from valve covers

    While I was cruising and making some runs (not overrevving), after a stop I noticed the car idled terribly and there was a knocking sound from apparently the driver side valve cover. Pretending it wasn´t anything serious, I turned off the car and checked for spark plugs wires disconected, or...

    Will MAC p-headers fit AFR165 or Edelbrock heads?

    I´m using MAC P-headers, and intend to replace the heads (AFR or new EDDy´s, didn´t make up my mind yet, accept suggestions) but wouldn´t like to spend on new headers. Thanks for any info! :shrug:

    numbers on the revised Edelbrock heads

    :shrug: I´ve been searching for convincing flow numbers or revised articles on magazines, and on a lot of sites, but all I read is "should equal the AFR´s", or "better than before" and blablabla. I´m changing my heads and unless proved otherwise, I´ll get the AFR´s, however costing $300 more...

    new heads:new edelbrocks, AFR165 or Trick Flow?

    :shrug: I´m considering new aluminum heads, and my nominees are the ones listed above. My first choice is the new Edelbrock (as soon as I get to know new flow and horsepower graph comparison), followed by the AFR165 (probably one of the best to my knowledge). I want to keep my previous mods (and...
