I figured I’d give the track one last shot in the Fall this year and try to take advantage of the cool air to get some better times. Last time out in July I had a best of 12.84 @ 108.96. Unfortunately, it seemed a warm and humid front decided to hit the Midwest this weekend and it was in the...

This story kind of goes back to April right after I got my Heads/Cam done. I raced a friend’s 2002 WS6 with Gears/Cat-back/Lid and a few other simple bolt-ons on the street. He had gone a best of 13.0 @ 108 in this car. We went from every conceivable speed (including a dig) and he beat me...

After 5 years I’ve finally decided to stop relying on the inaccurate stock instrumentation. I wired up a shift light a few months ago so I now know where to accurately shift. My next step is to get some better monitoring gauges. I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to start out with a...

Little Background: Went this weekend to the NMRA Event at Route 66 in Joliet, IL. Cruised up there for the day with my stang and a few buddies with their cars too. Had a good time there...will most likely hit it up next year as well. Racing was basically wrapped up there by 5pm so we...

Good weekend…got my car on the dyno Friday night and then took it to the race track Saturday as the weather held out for once. This was a long time coming as I did the heads/cam back in early March and have wanted to get numbers for it since that time. Before I get into the Dyno figures and...

I just installed my shift light in preparation for going to the track this weekend. I set it to 6000rpm and took it out. The light comes on between 5700-5800rpm going by the stock tach. This is no surprise as I know the stocker can be inaccurate. Here's the weird thing. I set the shift...

Have been wanting to relocate my MAF/Filter into the inner fender for awhile to take advantage of the cool air there. Didn't want to go to a cold-air kit as I still wanted to incorporate my Pro-M 77 housing and not mess with one of the Bullet MAF etc... Current setup was just the Pro-M 77...

I'm hiding and rearranging some wires for my current little project I"m messing with. In putting the MAF in the inner fender, the MAF wire to connect it to the housing is about 2 inches too short...if I plug it in, the same problem goes for the ACT plug since they split off the same main...

My AFR/FTI Combo has been up and running for almost 8 weeks now...I have been absolutely DYING to get it to the track. Dyno numbers are all nice and pretty, but track times are what I'm about. Well...one of the car clubs I've been a member of for years since I was in College had rented out...

Stupid question, but my Haynes manual doesn't show crap and a search didn't provide any good info. I got the bottom cushion out by pushing back on the two tabs. Now for the seat backs...I took out the two 10mm bolts on either side of the bottom, but then I was told to just lift up and...

I was thinking of pulling my out, but I want to make sure it doesn't serve a better purpose like keeping the heat down in the engine bay or something etc... I have no interference right now with it which I know is the main reason people pull them, but it is just plain ugly and parts of it are...

Just bought a new set of the FMS plug wires to replace the set I had bought over 4 years ago. Set came with wires One through Eight and then two other wires not labeled. One was a short wire just long enough to reach our ignition coil location on SN95 cars, the other was longer to reach near...

Either my factory tach is way off or I have no rev limiter. Took her out today to find out where the rev limiter is just so I know what happens when I hit it. Figured this would be a good thing if I would be shifting at 6200rpm with a stock limiter set at 6250rpm. I have yet to ever touch...

.....and as of right now, it's not quite fast enough to take out this guy: 2002 WS6 T/A 6spd w/Bolt-Ons Here's the story: That car is my best friend's...it has Whisper Lid, Borla Exhaust, 4.10's, Shifter, All Free Mods, Hypertech Programmer, and Nitto Drag Radials. He has taken it to...

Ok...I knew after the install of the AFR/FTI stuff went so smoothly, something eventually had to give me troubles. I've put the first 60 miles on it this week and she is running very strong...so that is good, but I have had some annoying issues come up as well. The issues: - Car still...

Trying to adjust my idle. I did it using the screw on the left...but then I was told there's another way and someone mentioned something about a "plug". I have circled this white plug with an arrow going to it. If you pull that plug out, there looks to be a screw in it...what does that do...

Ok...this is gonna be long. :) Dial-up warning too is now in effect. Completed the entire thing this weekend...in fact, pretty much started really tearing into it Friday night at around 6pm, worked on it until 4am...slept a few hours and then we got back on it at about 9:30am and I was...

Ahh...I've taken a perfect good engine...realiable, consitent, and decently fast (mid 13's)...and I'm tearing it down to install a combo that most likely will be unrealiable, inconsistent, with lots of idle and driveability problems. Why oh why??? Oh wait...I know...because it will be worth...

Only a few more days now!!! This coming weekend, I am pulling my motor and totally changing the personality of my car. Will be installing: FTI AFR 165's, FTI Cam, Scorpion 1.6 RR's, BBK Longtubes/H-Pipe, Romac Balancer, Timing Set, Pushrods, SPEC Stage 2 Clutch, UPR Quadrant & Firewall...

Ok…I am doing a headswap in a couple weeks and have been told time and time again that the 1.6 Scorpion RR’s I will be purchasing will not fit under the SN95 Valve Covers. No surprise here. So…I picked up a set of Fox Body Valve covers which I’m told will work fine. Then I come to find out...
