    Hurst Billet Competition Plus Shifter

    I'm looking into a new shifter for my mustang and from what I can tell, the Hurst Billet Competition Plus Shifter has the most bang for its buck. Anyone have any opinions about this one or which one may be better. Keep in mind, Ford Racings shifter is more expensive and looks to be a hurst...

    HOT ROD CAMS HELP!

    :flag: I've had my hot rod cams installed for about a year and a half now, and have consistently had the same problem of hanging rpms. It has come to my attention recently that it could be a vacuum line problem, i.e. there could be a knicked line in there somewhere that's causing the engine...

    SALEEN SUSPENSION KIT & CAMBER BOLTS

    I recently installed the saleen suspension kit on my car, then I had Les Schwab align the car. Once they brought it back close to factory specs there was a noticeable negative camber on the front wheels. They tell me I need camber plates, which they say cost 345 for the set, but I talked to...

Also, the kit I...

    How many Motor Mounts do I need?

    Can someone please let me know how many motor mounts I'll need for my mustang? My hot rods cams really make the engine shake, audibly and noticeably so. I was thinking that motor mounts would at least dampen this effect. Will one set of Steedas motor mounts work? or do I need more? thanks.

    Hot Rod Cams frustrations: Can Anybody Help?!

    Not too recently now I bought and installed a set of the modular 3v hot rod cams from Ford Racing. I had Ford do the install and a tuner do the dyno (using SCT software)...since the install and tuning, I've been getting what can only be described as "hanging rpms"...immediately when I drove...

    Dealer incentives..is it worth it?

    With the economy the way it is, and with dealer incentives piling up..has anyone given any thought to trading in their mustangs for new mustangs like the GT500 or the Roush mustang....if you've been on a dealer's lot in California anytime recently you've probably seen roushes going for less than...

    rear end gear ?

    Look at the axle cover in the middle of the rear axle...that will tell you what you're working with...also, and i'm unsure about this, but you might be able to check the door jam sticker for that info... that being said, it's likely a 3.23 gear ratio (maybe even a 3.53)...however if you're...

    CompCams Question

    alright thanks guys I appreciate the help...I guess my main concern was the spring upgrade, which after long debate with myself I've decided to get away from the spring req'd setup..that being said, if I'm not going for the springs or phaser upgrades, why not get a FRPP part instead..all the...

    CompCams Question

    I'm trying to get my new cam choice pinned down...many people say just to go with the CompCams StageII NSR (no springs required)...but all the research I do keeps leading me back to the StageII VSR (valve springs required)....I'm wondering if anyone's had any experience with either of these...

    Do 4.10s make 1st gear useless?

    only do the install if you know what you're doing...get the kit with the new bearing if you do it yourself...just remember, there are quite a few things that can go wrong if you don't do the install right (i.e. 50-50 chance you're gonna break something upon pulling the differential apart)...if...
