    head gasket installation

    2002 - Don't have to touch the radiator unless you're throwing a cam in. If it's your first time, make sure you label everything (Bolts/hoses/wires and everything). It'll make the job soooo much easier. Might want a friend to help you get the heads back in place if you have the stockers...

    Nothing goes as planned!!!!

    I know how ya feel. When I started my HCI project, i told myself it'd be done in 4-5 days, no problem. A stripped hole here, a gas leak there, broken regulators, and now im finally driving it 5 months later lol. It sucks, but it's sooo worth it when you got it running juuust right. Goodluck man...

    making most of my set up

    All I know is that when I put a 70mm TB on my basically stock engine, it felt like there was alot less power off the line compared to the stocker. I ended up throwing on the 65 and itdid feel stronger. However, I can't give any dyno numbers comparing them but by the ol' SOTP meter, I know I...

    making most of my set up

    Yeah, stick to a 65mm or 70mm untill you're running big numbers. Just going to hurt ya otherwise. 24#ers will be fine on your stock engine, though you might want to buy a regulator also.

    Is this hurtin my cars performance??

    You really shouldnt have to go larger than 2.5" mid-pipe and catback unless you're well over 400hp. I seriously doubt you have 4" openings on your muffler, but you may be loosing alittle with the 3" tips. I say just open up the intake side of your engine and you'll get that power back.

    underdrive pulley question

    Most pop off with alittle patience. You will need to use a puller on the power steering pump though. I thiiink thats the only one you need the puller for. It shouldn't be very hard, assuming noone used loc-tight on the friggin PS pulley like the dip****s who worked on my car last lol. Good luck...

    How desireable do you think 94-95 GT/Cobra's will be in the future?

    After a certain amount of years, no car has to pass emmisions. 20 years old or somthing i think...atleast in CT. I don't think it has to do with the plate.

    Removing and installing injectors

    Just pull them out. Do it gently so the o-rings aren't damaged, but they should come out with little effort.

    New can question

    I just pulled out the stock cam and am about to install my TF stage one. With the cam, came two small (about 1/4-1/2 inch long) dowels. What are these for? The stock cam has what looks to be one of the same dowels already in it, but the new cam does not. What am I supposed to do with them? They...
