    Pulling engine...what should I replace?

    I'm going to be pulling the engine out of my '88 LX auto this winter. I have a huge amount of oild buildup throughout the engine and transmission. I know I have to replace the valve cover gaskets, but while I'm at it, should I replace all gaskets? What other items should I fix/replace while the...

    26" vs 28" ET Street Drag Tires

    I have the opportunity to buy a slightly used set of 28x10.5 M/T ET Street Drag Tires (not the drag radials) that are mounted on 16" v6 rims. I understand typically everyone here uses 26" tall tires. This deal is almost too good to pass up and I am wondering what is the difference in performance...

    10.5" vs 11" clutch/flywheel, which one???

    What is the benefit from going from a 11" flywheel/clutch to a 10.5"??? I need a new clutch, so while I'm at it, I'm going to get a new flywheel. So should I stay at 11" or drop down to 10.5". BTW, my car sees the drag strip about 10-15 times a year and I drive it pretty hard. Thanks for...

    Flywheel help...

    I need a new clutch in my '02. I am buying a McLeod Stage II clutch, 11", organic face. Through the research that I have done it is suggested to get a new flywheel while replacing the clutch, so I am. I don't want to get aluminum, so I am going to stay steel. My question is...is there any...

    Clutch automatically adjusted...now too high

    I was out Friday night doing some burnouts with a set of old tires. After I was done I noticed the clutch pedal now grabs way up high. All I have to do is push down on the clutch about 2" and the clutch disengages. Before, the cluch disengaged about 1/2 way to the floor. How can I set the...

    99 GT Flywheel...6 or 8 bolt? A buddy of mine has a '99 GT and needs a new clutch, and while he's at it, he wants to replace the flywheel too. Does it have a 6 or 8 bolt crank? Also, what would you suggest for a flywheel?

    Any negatives about running 10.5" rear wheels?

    I am about a phone call away from ordering a set of 17x9 and 17x10.5 black bullitts for my stang. Are there any reasons for not going with 10.5" rims in the rear. In other words, are there any negaive opinions about running such a wide rear tire. I have 315/35/17 tires ready for the new rims.

    02-04 JLT owners w/ Predator or SCT...need your help w/ test

    I don't know if anyone has tried this, but I would like to see if the CAI really gets a cooler air out of the fender than having the RAI in the engine. With that, I need help from all of you that have a 02-04 w/ JLT CAI or RAI and a Predator or SCT tuners w/ datalogging capabilities...(I chose...

I have been thinking about adding some color to my otherwise completely charcole interior by adding the 35th anniv. bezel, brushed shift-knob, shifter ring, and possibly painting the door handle inserts silver. I was hoping some of you that...

    I just installed a set of Maximum Motorsports LCA's last week. I took the car out this weekend to go to a car show and I noticed I now have a vibration from about 65mph and up. The vibration only occurs when I let off the gas and stops after the car begins to coast; but while under load, the...

    MT ET Street Radials on steel rims???

    I'm tight on money and really need a set of DR's. I am looking at getting a set of 275/50/15 MT ET Street radials mounted on a 15x8 rim. I am wondering if I am able to mount those on a 15x8 steel rim? I will save up money for some Welds, but in the mean time, will a steel rim be ok to use?

    K&N Typhoon intake...so hot it burns the hand

    I got a K&N Typhoon intake from a buddy of mine about a month ago. I notice that after driving for a long time, the intake is so hot that if you touch it, it will literally burn your hand. My question is, is this heat hurting my HP more than the intake helping? In other words, I know I got a...
