    Hello All I installed a T5 from my old 93 stang into my 65 a couple years ago. I went with a cable clutch, but have had difficulty with routing it because of my headers and it has melted. I'm thinking I'd like to switch to a hydraulic. Can anyone provide me a website or instructions for...

    Fuel pressure?

    I bought a Holley mechanical fuel pump recently that is too much pressure for my carb. I bought a regulator for the needed adjustment. The question is, if I decide later to add a larger cfm carb will I need to increase fuel pressure or is this unrelated? I know different carbs may need...

    Do I need to port my new intake?

    I will probably be adding an Edelbrock Air Gap intake to my setup. Will I need to port it to get maximum performance out of my heads, etc.? I'm learning as I go with this build and based on my limited experience, I can't imagine that the intake will mate perfectly to my heads and give top...

    I'm looking to buy a supercharger. Any recommendations? Paxton? I see that Paxton claims 35%-55% increase properly tuned. Anyone here have this and get this kind of HP? How much $$$ do these go for? Would this work well with my setup? I only have 100 miles on the rebuild now, but I think...

    Hey guys/gals I have Probe 1.6 roller rockers that I've been "attempting" to adjust. I bring the #1 cylinder to TDC (I know it's TDC 1 and not 6 cause I feel a gust of air on the up stroke over #1 plug and can see the piston at the top) and adjust both rockers. I adjust by moving the push...
