    First time at the track not as good as I had hoped

    With a 306 cu putting down 231RWHP my 65's best time out of six runs was this: R/T... 0.250 60'...1.937 330...5.728 1/8...8.930 MPH...77.36 1000...11.710 1/4...14.081 MPH...95.28 That does it, I'm getting that 408 this year.

    408W from the Engine Factory or Keith Kraft?

    I've looked at about a half dozen crate engine builders and have narrowed it down to two. They both are about the same price. Which is the better one? The one from the Engine Factory I would have them sub with the Vic Jr heads and intake and a larger cam. Engine Factory 408W crate Keith...

    I want to drive like a 19-year-old girl

    Well, this girl anyway. My goal is set up my car exactly like this one. This is 19 year old Missy Westerman's car. She class races it at Sears Point, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Bakersfield and so on. It's a mild looking 66 Mustang with a 9" rear-end, sub frame connectors and all sorts...

    Which long tube header for 351W swap?

    I know Heddman and Hooker both make 351W long tube swap headers for a '65, but which model(s) will work with my set up? I have a T5 with MustangSteve cable clutch. I have power steering too.

    How does an engine make a car unstreetable?

    I'll be shopping for a new engine next year for my '65. I want max horsepower and so I'm even considering a blown stroker. But is there a limit as to how much horsepower I can have before the car isn't streetable? What makes a car unstreetable, is it traction problems?

    Cons of deep stroking a 351W?

    It seems that 408W is the max some people are willing to take it. What is the problem with stroking beyond that like 427? Does it have something to do with the wrist pin? Maybe someone can explain.

    Who's having turkducken tomorrow?

    I've never had it. How is it? Do you just shove a chicken inside a duck then the stuffed duck inside the turkey?

    First dyno today. Disappointed

    Only 231rwh and 253rwtq. I know that translates into 300 flywheel hp but still I thought it would be more for a 306 roller block, Edelbrock RPM heads, Weiand Stealth intake, 650 Holley DP, 2.5" Magnaflow. I do have PS and AC though. Oh well, time to start saving for that 418 stroker crate...

    Car or 401K?

    The "car or college?" thread got me thinking. Is anyone sacrificing 401K contributions to pay for their car?

    Manual or auto better for drag racing?

    A friend of mine who has about 5 drag cars told be that an automatic is better for drag racing because of the quicker shifts. Agree? Disagree?

    Anyone running 2.5" exhaust through a 65-66 GT style valence?

    I originally was planning 3" but may just get 2.5" for simplicity. Anyone know of fitment issues running 2.5" pipes out the valence?

    Anyone have Magnaflow 3" system on a '65-66?

    Just wondering is everything fits right or will I have problems after the mufflers?

    Where to buy Amsoil?

    I've heard Amsoil is the ****zle. Where can I buy it locally? We have a NAPA, AutoZone, Advance Discount Auto, PepBoys, and a CarQuest.

    Vacuum accessories with forced induction?

    I had a mechanic friend tell me that if I put a supercharger on my car that I could still use my power brakes because my intake would still have a vacuum. That didn't sound right to me, but I didn't want to argue with him because he's been building racecars for 20 years and he's also very...

    What's this 9-inch rear end worth?

    It's from a '67 or later Ford, it fits 65-66 Mustangs, but is a little wide. Open differential, highway gears, 28-spline, small bearing, drum brakes, needs new center gasket and axle seals. A friend said it's only worth about 50-75 dollars. What do you think?

    Anyone using the Ford rear disc kit from Currie?

    At $459 it's half the price of other kits. Does anyone know how it performs? http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestore/ProductsRE.aspx?id=1229 http://www.mustangandfords.com/howto/28733/

    Pypes or Magnaflow?

    I want to get a new exhaust system with x-pipe for my 65 with full length headers. I've heard good things about Magnaflow, but what about Pypes?
