    Thinking bad EEC. Can someone confirm?

    Do you have a scan tool? If you have a can of choke cleaner, couple shots down the intake and see if it starts and dies. That will let you know if the injectors just aren't pulsing. If you do have a scan tool, see if it reads rpm readings while cranking. Also, what year and engine are you...

    Thinking bad EEC. Can someone confirm?

    Well that is usually a last ditch effort. It's really difficult to tell if it is bad. Does it start and die? Is it fuel or fire? Questions that have to be answered first. Have you checked for dtc's or are you just going by the cel? Too many variables to take an expensive guess so far...

    frame questions. It is bent?

    Alright. There are adjustable upper arms that might get you there but not sure. The trick is gonna be to loosen everything else and adjust it on the alignment rack. And hope for enough adjustment. $200 from American muscle. There are adjustable lower arms but they require coilover kits because...

    frame questions. It is bent?

    What you have is a solid rear end turned to the left a bit. Causing it to dog walk some. I believe that your right rear wheel is a little more forward than the left. Easiest way I believe it to replace the lower arms that connect from your rear end to the torque boxes with adjustable ones. Or...

    frame questions. It is bent?

    Also, i believe that there are adjustable lower arms that can take care of that also.

    frame questions. It is bent?

    So your rear end is a little crooked. What year stang is it? You may be able to just loosen the trailing arms at the rear end and frame and try and slide it some. The torque boxes will give after some time also. You may be able to cheat it some without a frame pull. I would check the mounting...

    hellion twin turbo advice?

    It's great to have pride in a build. This guy seems to be on a budget though. Easiest and cheapest route to that kind of hp is to buy one close to that already. When buying, a modded car is usually about the same price as a stocker. I bought one already modded and still have put over $4k in it...

    hellion twin turbo advice?

    Honestly this is probably my best advise I can give you. Trade up to a cobra. If you want a twin turbo car, and are on a budget, buy a built cobra. They are always for sale. By the time your gt is built to handle that type of power, the trade would have been a lot cheaper. I bought mine already...

    I got the front wheel shimmy!

    Nope. Not far at all depending how bad the shimmy is. Depending on what wheels it is, see if they will dynamic balance instead of static balancing them. My guy will use stick on weights on the inside as close up to the wheel face as possible. If they only weight the backside of the wheel(static...

    I got the front wheel shimmy!

    If you have a shimmy at a certain speed in a 10mph range, it's a wheel balance issue. Bring it somewhere else to get the wheels balanced. Alignment will not fix a shimmy. Only other thing would be a driveshaft balance issue or possibly a problem with your rotors.

    Supercharger Question

    Just depends what type of blower you are looking for. Twin screws will boost up a lot quicker. Centrifugal may have a bit more lag. Either should boost some way before WOT.

    is 29,000 miles too many?

    I bought mine already modded. For the price mine was going for there is no way I could spend that much more on mods. I've got receipts for over $15k worth of mods done by the previous owner. It was modded the way I wanted so why not. No problems so far. Well worth buying it already done in my book.

    Please help!!! At wits end

    Alright. First things first. Test light clamped to ground. Key to run. Pull the a/c relay. Test for 2 hot leads. Should have power to 2 terminals. It looks to be called the wot cut out relay.

    Please help!!! At wits end

    You really need a wiring schematic. If you can find one and post it, I can help you. See if you can find one. Otherwise it's just a guessing game. I would say first is to find the compressor relay and jump it. Should have two hot pins, one ground, and one lead to the comp.

    Michelin v Bridgestone which one??

    Michelin makes a better tire. Although you get what you pay for with Michelin. If you're pricing tires, the bridgestone may be better than the equal priced Michelin. If that makes sense. Top line stones are not as good as top line michelins. Both great tires though.

    Looking to get back into the game after 4 years

    If it makes you feel any better, I payed almost $25k on my cobra. Only a year newer.

    Looking to get back into the game after 4 years

    Seems a little steep on the price but, when you figure the mods and the price of a low mile stang. Guess not that bad. I would probably shop around a bit just to see what similar ones go for. $7-8k seems good for a clean stocker around here. Just depends on what it's worth to you. Are the...

    is 29,000 miles too many?

    For that money. I would buy a terminator or spend a little bit more and buy a used gt500.
