    Longtube Headers?

    I do not believe that BBK Longtube headers will fit with an AODE. I think MAC makes a set that will and Pacesetter says theirs will.

    Longtube Headers?

    Long tube headers will certainly outperform shorties... But they can be a major PITA to put in. If you are doing the exhaust, I would recommend biting the bullet and spending the money and doing the extra work to put the longtubes in. It is worth it IMHO... Of course, if you have an AODE...

    Auto Transmission questions

    With 101 K miles and a soon to be pulled engine, I think you would be foolish to not rebuild the tranny / get a new one / whatever. For around $1,000 you can have a completely bulletproof setup that doesn't rely on pour in bandaid... I would not add parts (shift kit) to a tranny that you seem...

    Pic of my neck post-surgery... The hole on the left under the tape is where the JP drain was... The cut in the middle below the gauze is where they peeled the skin back to shave the bone fragments off of my sternum to graft into my vertebrae... I have x-rays of my spine with the titanium...

    A post a day......

    Yup Yup. One of the reasons I bought it was this post. My Hitachi 50" Ultravision LCD dropped the cooling fans and won't turn on. First breakdown in 6 years, so I am not complaining too much. Gonna take a while to get parts, so the kids will have a sweet upgrade from the 35" Sony CRT they...

    Supercharger Opinions!!!!

    You are really comparing apples to oranges when you compare a roots-type blower (KB) with a centrifugal blower (Vortech). The KB produces pretty much max boost immediately. So, the torque curve looks like a nice straight line. As soon as you get in the throttle, it is there. The Vortech...

    A post a day......

    I found out the other day I have to have surgery on my neck. Three herniated discs. Two are coming out and getting replaced with some bone from my sternum. Then some sweet titanium plates will be screwed into my vertebrae to hold everything in place while the sternum bone grafts to the...

    rough idle

    Always a good idea to start with the tune-up. Gives you a good baseline to work from. Don't forget to clean the MAF while you are doing that. Also, just because there is no CEL does not mean that there is not a stored trouble code. I would pull the codes too just to check. Finally, with a...

    A post a day......

    I would drive the Marauder. Here's why I think it failed to catch on: The Grand Marquis competed with the Buick Park Avenue mostly. I just don't think the Park Avenue crowd is the one that would cross-shop to a Marauder. And, it was never independently marketed as best I can tell. So, the...

    You should all move to Michigan (if you can get jobs)... I can get you five acres, 3,000 sq ft, 5 beds, 4 baths, sweet multi-level deck, on a bluff overlooking 1,200 feet of water frontage on the grand river for right around 300,000...three outbuildings including a three car detached with hoist...

    It was a beautiful morning out, so I naturally had the windows down and the radio up on the way to work this a.m... I smoked a skunk doing about 50 mph and I swear that sucker had extra stink...just went out to my car at lunch time and the tire still reeks...but, it could just be that the smell...

    How much power is bumping the timing really worth?

    You know, that is something that bugs me about just about every new car... Why in God's name would I spend some insane amount of money an an M3, for example, and then have to see the muffler??? It just looks tacked on to me...like the appearance from the back was an afterthought...

    Check this sweet ride, racing tires and all

    This guy's problem is that he makes the classic mistake of attempting to sound like he knows what he is talking about when he doesn't... How do you call it a Cobra, list it with a V-6, and then describe it as a 289??? Anyone? He should saved some money on the racing stripes and race tires and...
