    throttle body theory??

    hey how about we talk some throttle body sizes here so we can set the record straight about what size is needed when on an NA car? on a stock car, MAF flows 800 kg/hr or so @ WOT so 800 kg/hr after conversion = 375 cfm... that shows that a 55mm t-body would be okay.. so, another...

    does 1 3/4 hood clear 351W??

    I have two hood choices here, http://www.steeda.ca/catalogue_product_type.asp?id=530 Will the lower one clear a Victor EFI on 94 Vert motor mounts? I might consider solid drop mounts to drop it that 1/2 inch.. Thoughts? Thanks !

    36 pound injectors, few questions?

    well in piecing together my next project (F4TE roller 351W 393 stroker) and I'm trying to figure out my fuel requirements, so far I'm going to use the Tweecer to adjust the slopes to run 36 pound injectors at an almost near stock 40psi, and, and I'll likely have to upgrade my 190lph pump to a...

    dyno and tweecer results

    Just wanted to post my #'s, made 290 at the wheels last night at our local dyno.. I had a great time, especially tuning the car.. Was able to form the A/F curve to exactly how I would have wanted it, around 12.6:1 at torque peak leaning out from there.. power was strong to 6300 where it made...

    351 time?? need some advice guys..

    My 302 is totally done now (tweeced and everything) and I'm gonna take it to the track to fix that disgraceful 13.7@104.. but I'm seeing blue smoke in top end 3rd and 4th gears, and I know I'm low on compression.. So this winter, I could get a sportsman 302 block and build up a nice 306...

    how much head for a 327 stroker?

    I'm wondering if someone can help shed some light for me, I feel my heads flow a bit much for my current stock bottom 302, but I'm wondering if they would be a nice match for a mid-potency 327 stroker?? (nothing too wild, say 340 rwhp, 6200rpm redline).. my motor is burning oil and I'm ready...

    wierd problem, no gas smell with vacuum off..

    BUT, when I plug the vacuum back into the AFPR and the fuel pressure drops about 6psi at idle, the fuel smell comes back.. I unplug the vacuum line to the AFPR and the fuel pressure goes to 46 and it idles better, and the gas smell goes away.. STRANGE !! you'd think it would smell more like...

    Magnaflow rocks

    Just got magnaflow x-pipe, 2 cats, and straight-thru mufflers put in today, and wow the sound is better than ever.. the X-pipe sounds awesome at 3000rpm + and I've gained a lot of low-end torque back, without any Tweecer changes.. Also, my clothes don't smell like gas.. but anyone looking...

    guys with FMS AL Driveshaft + mad torque come in :)

    OK, can someone tell me why AFTER the motor swap and putting in the coil-over kit (and raising the rear 1/2 inch) does the driveshaft rub on the e-brake holder?? (and cut into the metal) I'm only putting down like 320-330 tq to the wheels or so, but still, some of you with superchargers and...

    goin' with magnaflow exhaust, tip suggestions?

    OK, I'm going to max out the bank account for the year and finish my motor properly with magnaflow catted x-pipe (custom for my longtubes), and their catback system (straigh-thru's).. now, the shop I'm doing this at has so many tips.. 2.5", 3", 3,5" rolled, non-rolled, straight cut, angled...

    engine bay pic, comments please (RC?), show me the bling !

    I'm thinking there's a few things I'd like to do to clean up this engine bay, and that's a new distributor (sitting down here), fixing up the rad support, maybe putting that plastic cover back on, and somehow making that power steering neck a nice colour and the brake fluid reserve.. any other...

    GET THEM.. they are absolutely sick.. got the Maximum motorsports setup, 375 pounders up front w/ stiffer cobra struts, and 225 springs out back w/ the sport shocks.. along with AL rack bushings, CC plates, ST-brace, and LCA's.. you wouldn't believe how much better a "mustang" can take...

    coil over install (maximum motorsports) question?

    Guys, we're putting in coil overs all around and the wierd thing is the spring is so short that if the car is lifted (or gets somehow airborn) the springs are loose and can move around, is this normal? just curious.. thanks a lot !

    engine crunching sound with more timing?

    this one is a wierd one, since I've put the heads/cam/intake/headers/lifters, etc in the stock bottom end, with the tweecer if I essentially run anymore than 28* total timing at lower rpm's the motor makes a really loud crunching sound.. you know how a motor kinda shakes, its almost like...

    cats on an off-road x/h/pro chamber?

    I have a off road h-pipe right now and two cats waiting to go on, my question is, can I buy a x pipe or pro-chamber and weld the cats in? is there enough room/length to do so? I could simply put cats on my h-pipe and I know that would work but while I'm after more hp the pro-chamber sounds...

    brakes squeel when cornering?

    I've searched and searched and I can't seem to find anything on this, but when I turn right hard the drivers side brakes squeel like crazy, every time I corner that way.. could this be a loose wheel / wheel bearing? the wheel is on tight to the 5 lugs.. so I have no clue.. tx !

    loud crunching sound under passenger floor?

    ever since I got the new motor in, there has been a loud crunching sound at low rpm's, under the passenger side only... you can't feel it as a driver but when I switched to let my friend drive boy was it loud, and it shook the seat a bit when nobody is sitting in it... what could this be...

    cfm flow of cats?

    I'm going to put cats on my car since it is quite loud and I've had a lot of looks, just waiting for the cops to bust me.. :D so, what I'm wondering, if right now my car is putting out 400cfm of exhaust flow per cylinder bank (estimate) how much does a catalytic converter flow?? I'm...
