    Guy harassing me on Youtube about gearing... He's wrong.

    Please take a look at my video and the responses he makes. He's calling me a liar about the gearing in my car and about the power it makes... He claims to have a 94 gt with a 2.73 gear. He claims he redlines at 30 mph in 1st ... 60 mph in 2nd and 90 mph in 3rd. No way in hell he has a 2.73...

    Gears ~ 3.55's or 3.73's? and a mph question...

    Right now I'm running 2.73's....1st and 2nd gear are ok since the car is pretty fast with the mods it has. But 3rd gear is just way too long and 4th and 5th are real sluggish. I wouldn't be drag racing the car much if at all, so which is the better gear for everyday street use? I know they...

    What kind of performance heads do I have?

    The guy I bought it from a year ago said they were Cobra heads. So I always figured they were heads off of a 93-95 Cobra. I wanted to change the spark plugs so I bought a set of plugs that fit a 93-95 Cobra head. And stupid me, I bought the plugs before I took the old ones out so I didn't...

    Check engine light burned out? Need help...

    My Stang passed the emissions pre-test just fine but I guess my check engine light doesn't come on when I start the car and then go off after a few seconds like it is supposed to. It doesn't come on at all. So, in order to pass emissions they are making me fix this. Is it just a small bulb...

    Amazing 1/3 scale Ferrari racecar.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3NVJ4pEFuY It would be cool if someone made a Fox like this, to get that classic 5.0 sound in miniature fashion. :)

    Best spark plugs and gap for my 5.0?

    Need recommendations for a new clutch. Many ?'s

    Basically, I am wondering if I should get a stock replacement or an aftermarket performance clutch. My car has about 250-275 rwhp, so obviously I am leaning heavily towards a performance clutch, but I have some questions... How much power is the stock replacement clutch rated at? How much $...

    Help me identify this vibration...

    Basically, when the car is in neutral (5-speed) at idle, the car vibrates. The rpms are 800-1000. But, if you push in the clutch and put into 1st gear, there is no vibration. What is this most likely?

    Need an opinion/diagnosis. Eng./Tran./Clutch issue

    Basically, the car has a noticeable vibration in neutral (5 sp. manual). And no, it's not the normal vibration from the V8. But, when you push in the clutch and put it in 1st gear and keep holding in the clutch, the vibration goes away. Also, the car stumbles/shakes pretty bad when trying to...

    Some mechanical and maintenence ?'s

    When I start my car when it's cold, it idles nicely at about 750 rpms. I let it warm up 5 mins and start driving. As soon as I come to a stop, the idle is now at 1,000-1,100 rpms and any time I stop after that, that's where it idles. If I drive it hard then come to a stop, the idle surges...

    Gears and top speeds...

    My speedo doesn't work and I have a 2.73 gear and it's a 5-speed. Was just curious what the maximum speeds were in each gear (1-5) with a 6k redline. And I realize that it would be impossible to get to the max speed in 5th without a ton of horsepower, but just curious to know. :lol: And...
