    Suggestions to gain low-end torque

    I was going to mention trying an aluminum drive shaft but see you already have one. Other than 4.10's, I guess you could try 3.90's. Some have complained about gear whine but others say they're fine. Without doing gears or possibly trying a different tune with your current mods it looks like...

    1973 Aluminum slotted wheels

    Thanks for the info so far guys. So is there any demand/value for these? As mentioned before I know most guys run Magnums now. I do plan on cleaning these up and selling them however I don't want to get ripped off by some guy that is just going to turn around and sell them for more (and not...

    opinion of shifters

    I had a Pro 5.0 in a 95 GTS and I can tell you the quality was top notch. It was built very well. You are also able to change handles on it or make a custom one to fit your application better. Roush also has a shifter (not sure on quality) that sits back and offers a lot more of a traditional...

    1973 Aluminum slotted wheels

    I ran into a pair (only two) of 1973 ford aluminum wheels. They are the ones that were optional on the 73 mach 1's 14X7 maybe 14x6. Anyways they were taken off of a wrecked 73 mach 1 with the center caps. Just wondering if these are available repro now or if they have any value? I know most...

    Ford 3V intake manifold

    Noticed Ford racing has this officially available (M9424-463V) for $600. Looks great, cheaper than the C&L but has anybody seen numbers on either FI or NA applications?

    LTs Pypes or Mac?

    Anybody know if the prochamber is much of a gain over a traditional off road X pipe? Seems like it is an easy way to save $200 by staying with just an X. One last thing, are you able to keep either the Macs or Pypes in place for a clutch change?

    LTs Pypes or Mac?

    Car sounds great, ViperNuge!. Is another 15rwhp from the LTs realistic?

    LTs Pypes or Mac?

    Have been doing some research on which LT headers to get and have narrowed it down to these two, I would like to hear some of your thoughts. Most of the old threads knock pypes for fitment, but I understand those issues have been resolved. So Pypes with an off road X pipe or Mac with an off...

    Cost for Hot Rods + tune

    Mine are the stage II comp cams and it was 4.5 hours for install. I was paying 100 an hour for labor in my area (not sure what it is in yours). As for a tune I bought the cams from Brenspeed so I just ran one of their e-mail tunes, and have not had a problem. I probably haven't got all of the...

    Another exhaust Q?

    Just looking at exhaust options and I am wondering if I go with JBA shorties (I already know the advantage to long tubes, I've read the forum enough!) matched up with a prochamber will I be making as much or close to as much as long tubes with a regular h or x pipe? I know the prochamber made...

    aftermarket hoods

    I have had great luck with Cervinis when it has come to fit and finish on their fiberglass hoods. I do not have hood pins and have drove the car for three + years without any problems or vibrations.

    Christmas comes late!

    I have the NSR Comp Cams II from Brenspeed and spent a lot of time looking into doing it myself. However in the end with Ford refusing to sell me the required valve spring compressor and timing wedge I got a shop to do it for me. You should look into this problem of getting the required tools...

    3.90 Gears

    Pro 5.0 makes 3.90 gears and I have never heard anything bad about their gears. They were supposed to be lighter and stronger. I know that Mustang and Fast Fords magazine used them in one of their project cars, but who knows maybe Pro 5.0 helped sponsor the build. The company usually has a...

    Saving old tunes?

    Thanks Wraith413. I should have clarified as well, that my question was concerning old e-mail tunes. I just didn't want to lose them in case I have problems with the new ones or change something back for the winter. I will try your suggestion out soon.

    Saving old tunes?

    Wraith 413 would you be able to tell me how to do that? I just had a guy from SCT e-mail me and tell me that I would not be able to get my custom tunes off of the tuner and save them. Thanks.

    Saving old tunes?

    I will be uploading a new e-mail tune from Brenspeed for my stage II cams shortly and I am wondering if we are able to pull our old tunes off and save them on our computers? My tuner is an SCT X3 Thanks.

    NSR Comp Cam Installation/Instructions

    Just wondering if anyone has a link to good instructions on doing such an install? I have searched numerous times and all I seem to find are installs requiring springs. For the NSR cams I have read conflicting info regarding the need of a spring compressor. Do you need one or not? If you...

    Octane Boost

    I just thought I would see if it would work if you had your 91 or 93 tune and you were out on the road and the only gas stations around carried 87 or 89, that adding the octane boost would get you by if you did not have your tuner with you.

    Octane Boost

    Just wondering if anybody here runs Octane boost regularly, or if it is helpful when switching tunes, say 87 to 91 or 93? Some of the bottles are now saying they will bump you 6 full octane numbers (60 points). Just wondering if it is worth the money especially when I have heard that some...

    45 Series or 55 series tires

    Thanks for all of the comments. I have decided to stick with the stock size of tires until I (possibly) change to larger wheels in the future.
