    Oregon DEQ and Headers

    I sure would like to run Long Tubes but I have to take the car through DEQ. Any of you have any experience with this? On pre 1996 cars, I know they use mirrors and check for cats. That's what they did on mine last time. Do they fail you if they see the LTs? Thanks, B

    EEC + 180* T-Stat + Cold Weather = Bad Cat Conv

    Gentlemen, I've recently moved from the heat of Texas to the rain and cold of the Northwest. Since getting here, my gas mileage has plummeted (18 --> 13 mpg in city). I eventually burned out a catalytic converter (Magna flow Hi-Flo Cat).:notnice: I suspected that my T-Stat was stuck...

    M5400-A - Finally got one!

    Well, it's going to be a good X-mas! The Bullitt suspension packages are no longer on back order. The best deal I have found is $479.99 including shipping from re-performance.com. He doesn't have it listed on his page. I had to shoot him an email and ask if he stocked it in and he said...

    Car Carrier dude backed my car into the ground

    Get this! I'm transferring from Texas to Oregon so the company is paying to move my stuff. The Friday before I loaded my 94 GT onto the car carrier, I had installed a Stainless Steel Bassani Catted X-Pipe and welded in two new borla mufflers into the stock catback. So, I arrive to get my...

    Bad luck with the Mr. Gasket Thermostat

    Hey Guys, It's warming up here in Texas so I decided to change out my stock Thermo for a 180 HiPo Mr. Gasket. First, it does appear to be a quality unit. I drilled a hole at the 12 o'clock like suggested in other threads. I then went to put it in and it seemed to not fit correctly. It...

    Hey Gang, Just wanted to let you guys know that you have been a huge help with modding my 94 GT. I asked you guys about suspension for a corner carver and got some great tips. My full length subframes, Bullitt suspension, MM caster/camber plates, and MM LCAs are almost done. Phase II is...

    Size of openings MAF-->TB-->Intake?

    Hey guys, I got to thinking if it's important to match the size of the Intake opening to your TB, for example, a 70 mm TB to an Edelbrock Performer 5.0 (70 mm, I think), then why is not as important to match the MAF to the TB? Stock MAF for our cars is 70mm. Wouldn't it make since to match...

    Suspension on High Mileage Daily Driver

    Hey Gang, Here's the deal! I have a completely stock 94 GT with 115K miles. This is a daily driver and it's time to put some money into it (El mustango :nice: ). I am never going to take this car to the drag strip, nor do I plan on breaking world records in the slalom. Picture cruising...
