Just curious, what kind of quarter mile times did you run with either car?

Routs I really enjoyed your post. Kind of brings me back too. If I may add to it- I think why 5.0's have such a reputation is there are so few stock ones out there. I remember a lot of Camaro owners saying "You never know what you are pulling up next to with a 5.0." It could be a 13 second...

I have to say I think it is the ultimate compliment to compare the latest Mustang to the legendary 5.0. The 5.0 is almost a household name and it was the benchmark by which other muscle cars were compared to back in the day. I'll never forget the first time I saw a brand new 1985 GT in a parking...

Thinking about a Proform myself. Anyone??????? :shrug:

Thanks for the feedback, I been searching earlier and I cant seem to find anything. My issue with the Clutch switch on my car (86 GT) is that it isn't hot unless the keyswitch is on start (not run). Or thats my understanding of how it works. It seems to me if I put 12V+ to that switch the...

Anyone put a micro switch on your clutch pedal? I am trying to wire up a 2 step for my 5 speed GT. I need a switch for the launch rpm limiter. If you put a switch on the clutch pedal, how did you do it? Or did someone get the stock clutch switch to work? Help please!, Gears

You do not put thread sealant on brake line fittings, correct? Thanks in advance, Gears

Thanks for the quick reply KMatch! I will do that. I am bending the new brake lines right now. I really appreciate the help! Gears

I'm installing a line lock on my 86 GT. Right now, I have it mounted pretty high up on the driver's side fender. It looks to be positioned higher than the Master cylinder. Am I going to have problems with air trapped in the line after bleeding? Thanks for your advice, Gears

I was looking at that light! I like it too. I decided to buy a Mallory 865 igniton box its built in 2 step to help with the launch. Thats what I wanted the shift light for. Thanks for all the replies, Gears

Thanks for the advice Cobra! Looks like the Hurst for me. Did you need a special kit to fit the Hurst Roll Control or would I be better off fabbing it myself? I was wondering if anyone has used the Raptor shift light? Anyone use the dual mode model? Thanks, Gears

Thanks JerryD for the info!

Thanks for all the replies. Any more expert opinons out there! I am hoping to order today. Thanks again, Gears

I want to buy a shift light only for my 86 GT. Which one do you guys like? I am kinda looking for one to launch on at the track. No pills for me by the way. Also I want a Line lock too. What brand do you like. Do I need any extra parts? Thanks ahead of time, I'm - :Track: Gears

The more I look around, it seems I keep coming back to TFS. I maybe anal, but I really dont like the way the streat heat intake looks. ??? Gears

Thats a neat combo you have there. If this car wasn't a cruiser I would almost do that exact build up. My only issue with the 165s is future upgrades. I mean, if I added a power adder two years from now, would they work for me? Have you heard of someone using 185s with a mild cam and intake...

Thanks for all replies!!! It seems Rick knows his stuff from what I see. I think the N-51 is too much for me. I am thinking the N-41 is too much actually. I kinda like the N-412 but I dont have any opinions on it. Gears

I am looking to buy new Heads/Cam/Intake for my 86 GT. It will be going on a 306. I have Mass Air / T-5 /3.73s. I do not want to change my rear gear now or in the future (I like my current cruise rpm). I want the car to be a cruiser that will go to the track ocassionally (4 times a year?)...

Thanks for your reply Cobra912. I do have one of those thermostats installed. For those who have similar pressure problems: I solved my system pressure problem by installing another rubber gasket to the bottom of my old radiator cap. I bought a large rubber fender washer, and cut some of the...

No my flange isnt bent. It is a very stout piece. It looks like it was machined from billet. I've had mine in the car way too long also to return it also. I bought this radiator because it was supposed to be almost a drop in. The funny thing is I heard that the Griffin radiators needed the...
