    Considering purchasing a used s/c

    Hey all. I'm considering buying a used supercharger on corral.net. The guy has plenty of positive feedback with big ticket items and I'm going to use my credit card via paypal if I do it, so getting scammed isn't really one of my concerns. What I would like to know is what kind of questions I...

    If you ever read any of the comics, you are going to be seriously annoyed with whomever wrote this script. They pretty much just did whatever they wanted with the movie :nono:

    Can you be running rich but not have enough fuel volume?

    Trying to diagnose my high rpm dropoff. With the new engine, I upgraded to 30lb injectors, but have yet to install my new 255 fuel pump.

    Does this look like a fenderwell kit?

    I know that CAI won't do much more than dress-up an engine bay in most situations.

    New engine, A/F ratio is very rich, what are some common fixes or things to check?

    Title was a mouthful but it everything I want to know in a nutshell. Got the car on the dyno today and my A/F ratio was very very bad, in the 10's bad. Dropping the fuel pressure down to 34psi or so allowed me to jump into the 11's, but still very rich. Besides messing with the fuel pressure or...

    Parts store fan same as Ford OEM?

    I'm looking into replacing my fans and I was just curious if the parts store fan for a SN94-95 would be as powerful as the ones put on the car by Ford? I'm just curious cuz I can get one from Autozone new for $66, but I want to be sure it puts out the same CFMs that junkyard OEM ones do.

    Anyone have any mustang engine pics?
