    Dyno results

    Well I was a tad bit dissapointed in the numbers but I left alot on the table with fuel(way too lean) and timming. I also know the exhaust set up is a tad to small for the engine size. I could probably pull another 10rwhp w/ just adding fuel so a FPR will be next on the list of things to get...

    351w going in, need help on hood, mounts

    I have a 351w going in. I'am using a 7quart Canton pan so that means I can't use drop mounts. I'am using a TFS track heat intake. I'am thinking of having it shaved down a bit to fit better. I'd like to get it under at the MOST 2 1/2 cowl hood. Can I use ANY hood that has a 2.5'' cowl, like a...

    Sloppy Steering, HELP!

    Lowering Springs or Drag Springs, Help Me Decide

    I would like to get a set of lowering springs but I'am afraid it will cost me too much at the track. How harmful are lowering springs when trying to get the most out of your car at the track? Right now I don't have traction problems, I use ET Streets on a mild setup. Once my 351w goes in, it...

    New 1/4 times, I'am impressed.

    My previous best was a 1.9 60' 13.9@97 mph. This was with bullet mufflers, H pipe, gt40 intake, e cam, timming at 10* on tire, stock gear/heads. That's on an OK time. I made a few adjustments and let her rip. I put in a 180 deg thermostat(car was running really cool, love it), upped the...

    Help With Short Belt Size!!(not the usual)

    Hey I know I need a 70.5'' belt to run my crank, waterpump, alt, and A/C. Don't ask, that's just the way I'am going to route it for the track, then switch back to my normal belt when I'am done. I'am bypassing the smog and p/s. The tools at the auto parts stores don't understand anything...

    Will I have to cut my chrome tails off?

    I just put the chrome tail pipes on my coupe. It rides on 245/50/16's right now. It doesn't rub but it probably will if the tires got any bigger. I'am going to put on a set of ET Streets 26x10.5x16. You think I would have to cut the tails off so they don't rub the tire? I sure hope not, I just...

    What CC are GT40's chambers.

    Hey I recently bought some GT40's that were from a marine application from some one claiming they were 64cc heads. I kinda thought the 64cc was stock chamber size but I looked at the chamber and it doesn't look like theres a lot of room to equal 64cc. Might be 58cc. Anyway you can check by eye...

    Tach Install Question

    Hey, I'am going to put in a 5'' Autometer tach on the passanger side of the drivers side dash board. Anyways, I have an aftermarket coil (MSD Blaster) I think and was told NOT to install the tach wire into an aftermarket coil for some reason, this true? Said it would burn the tach out quick. So...

    Which is easier swap, 5 Speed to Auto or 4 cyl to V8?

    Seems like slim pickings on Mustangs around my area. I'am kinda picky and the good ones I want are either auto or 4 cylinder. I would want a v8 5 speed of course, just wondering if it's worth it doing either swap and which one is the 'easier' one.
