    question

    its not the shifter. its the power shifting that goes along with it that we all do... aftermarket shifters with the stop ring on them that stops you from overshifting actually saves your tranny by taking stress off the shifter forks

    Help wanted - Edelbrock Supercharger

    jpplaw its not the extra torque hurting your gears. lower numerical gears ie 331 are actually stronger than say 410s. the higher the number the smaller your pinion gear becomes. now with that said. i had 410s put in my 05 by my friend who has been doing rear and tranny work for almost...

    Throwing codes now after being towed! Help PLEASE!

    you need a new tune. its not just the 02sensors being turned off. its how much more the engine is breathing now. you need a new tune for just about everything you do to these cars besides axle back mufflers.

    Granatelli TB

    so ive heard. thats why im going with the gt 500 tb. id like to buy the ford racing gt500 part but i can justify 560 bucks. looks nice all polished up though. i prefer that a part makes people look at my taillights rather than under my hood if ya know what i mean

    Heading to the strip, advice needed

    youll need a helmet. if the car isnt tuned for the nitrous leave it off . launch it around 2500 or so or youll just blow the tires off of it. if it starts wheel hopping let out the throttle or your driveshaft could become your passenger which is never a good thing

    what modds do i need to get my s197 to run 13.0s

    sparta with the mph you are running you would be well into the 12 second range. i wouldnt tell someone they dont need tires to go 13.0 just cuz you are doing it. you could probably been going 13.0 with less of the mods you have if you put a drag radial under your car and took a true advantage of...
