    Foxbody Mustang Cruise Control information, location, wiring diagrams

    On the "other site", there's a post about how to adjust the gain of the cruise control amplifier when a larger throttle body is used - any ideas on how to do this? Intuitively I think adding a resistor in series/parallel with the servo control circuit might accomplish this. What do you think?

    WTF!!!!!Broke my rear axle!

    Turbo Coupe rears are 8.8 traction lock with 3.55's with manual transmission, 3.73's with the automatic. They come with vented 4-lug rear disks as well - good deal if you want to stick with 4-lug.

    will shaved heads work with stock length pushrods?

    I was going to post "don't do it!" when you said you were going to assemble it without shims. Guess you figured that out already - lol.

    Ripped MATERIAL off clutch on pressure plate side?

    Based on my experience, the King Cobra will hold up to about 375 RWHP. I broke it when I got closer to 400 RWHP, then switched over to the Centerforce DF.

    355s vs. 373s

    3.08 to 3.55's = 15% change - pretty significant in my book.

    WHAT INJECTORS DO I NEED

    Oh fer cryin' out loud - glowing headers is not how you tune a car! And glowing at idle tells you nothing about whether your injectors are sized properly, only that your MAF may not match your injectors, is defective or your timing is way retarded.

    Yeah, Chris over at EECTuning mentioned that you were out of commision - I was searching for it too - are you planning on getting it back up with another provider?

    Edelbrock = good quality & fit. Chinese copy theft = bad. If I have a choice, I will pay the extra $ to support my fellow Americans. Anything to save a dollar is not for me. Eaton, Edelbrock, Moser, Probe, Comp Cams, Strange Engineering, Fluidampr, C&L, PMAS, Vortech, Accufab, Holley etc...

    It's "different" on top of "different" - I love it!

    WHAT INJECTORS DO I NEED

    I go with 36's or 42's - 30's ain't gonna cut it either.

    Cut heads .025 thousandths...do I need different pushrods?

    Whew! I knew I didn't smoke any crack tonight! :jaw:

    355s vs. 373s

    I had 3.73's until the differential blew up and damaged the gears as well. I was running out of gear at the track so I switched to 3.55's with the new differential. The difference is subtle at best, though I have noticed that 1st gear is somewhat more useful than before. I don't lack for torque...

    Kenne Bell on the 5.0??

    Gearbanger is doing a good job of describing what's involved in setting up the KB (and debunking some of the myths too.) I've been running a KB for 4 years and I really like it. I drive mostly on the street but take it to the track often enough to give me some cred at the track. I think 11's...

    WTF!? i'd probably kill this guy if i ever saw him...

    I didn't think Mustang's liked the taste of rice. Still, it gets high marks for uniqueness.

    New thoughts about the drive shaft vibration issue...please read

    Lowering the car reduces the driveshaft angles - doh! So much for what you "heard"! My vibration got better after lowering the car due to less DS angle - so there's that. It is possible to have the angles reduced too much which WILL lead to potential u-joint damage as the joints need to...

    GAS MPG ?? Acetone

    I tried the Acetone just for fun as I had some in the garage anyway. It had no effect at all on mileage in my PT cruiser that averages 26 MPG BTW. At 110 miles round trip it costs me about $13/day for gasoline :P BTW, who says only regular has ethanol in it? If it increases octane, why...

    Front poly control arms bushings worth it?

    Yikes, I've heard bad things about removing the spring isolators. The Fox cars are designed to use them - I would get some poly isolators in there.
