    New '20 GT, doesn't spin the tires, normal?

    1st gear, let out clutch and roll about 5mph, then floor it. Track mode, launch control off. No wheel spin? What is wrong with this thing? My old 88 notch would have smoked the tires and gone nowhere, and it was close to bone stock. These sure are different. Maybe it is the awesome 235 wide tires...

    The Drone stops here.

    I have seen constant threads here over the years on how to stop the drone. Most want good sound without the annoying drone at a steady speed. This is a pic of the underside of a 2003 GT with 1 chamber flows installed. This view is from right behind the passenger rear tire, up on front of...

    MM torque arm installed, good enough?

    There is a big Delrin bushing on the front of the Torque arm. It goes into a reciever in the cross-member that is added between the subframes behind the tranny cross-member. MM says the rear of the bushing must be flush with the rear of the receiver tube opening on the cross-memeber. Mine has...

    MGW installed, couple of questions

    Overall I am happy with it, I havent driven the car alot, but enough to say I wont regret it. I havent driven a car with an aftermaket shifter before, so enough said. I got the blue handle too, so the shifts are quite short and very positive. The springs are very strong and there is no way I...

    Moroso drag springs and Lakewood 50/50?

    How is this going to ride on the street? I ordered this stuff yesterday, but my card got declined. Now I have a chance to think a bit more. Jegs says that both of these items are not for street use, but I am not worried about that. I want to know what my ride height will be like and if they will...

    Are these Eibach drag springs? Please help.Pic.

    I got these used from a guy who said they were marked, and I cant find any markings on them. I am guessing maybe they are progressive rate, because the top coils are 3/8" and the bottom ones are 1/2". They are 13" tall, and have eight coils. From the color of them, I would say Eibach, but I want...

    Coilovers installed, where do I set ride height?

    This is a street/strip application. For you guys with coilovers and drag struts, where did you set you ride height? And how did you arrive at the final ride height. I just figure I will play around with it for a week or two before I get my alignment. The front wheels look straight and the car...

    MM coilover and Tokico, No dust covers?

    The UPS guy dropped off the kit yesterday. I have read the instructions for installation 3 times. The only thing I am not clear on is the dust covers. In the CC plate installation instructions, they say to re-use your old dust covers, unless you are installing Bilsteins, which come with their...

    More advice wanted on coil-over conversion.

    I am getting ready to order the MM front coil-overs with Tokico 5way adj. drag shocks. I will ask MM, but will there be any clearance issues with my front tires. I have 245/50/16's on ponies up there. I know I need some skinnies, but $980 for front suspension, is all I can afford right now...

    Saw some red plugs, what does that mean?

    I read the plugs and I have not seen anything like this. They are red, the electodes and the metal prong that is the ground the arc jumps to. They are some bosch platinum+4's, I know they suck. He put a FP in it today and get this. He returned the plugs for a refund. Lifetime guarantee. Got a...

    Sick of low-riding. Which drag springs do I get?

    I want a smooth ride and dont have the cash for coil-overs, so which drag springs should I buy. They are similar in price, but which ones are best for street driving. It may go to the track once a month or so, but its a daily driver still. I am getting MM subframes/w the seat braces. Soon I will...

    Easy? What is FP for a manual pump and carb?

    This is not a stang, but it has a 600cfm edelbrock carb. and a manual pump. I have measured the FP, but I want to see what some of you think it should be. The motor is pinging, I am thinking low FP may be the cause. It has gotten gradually worse, and no work was done to the car. The car is not...

    I give up, I have seached stangnet, corral and google and yahoo. I really want the Walbro. I read Holley and BBk are Walbro, but the ones I have found dont come with a strainer. I would love a sender too, cause my fuel guage doesnt work. If you know tell me where I can get this stuff. The...
