After I put my new shortblock in my supercharged 5.0, it would smoke after I let off the gas, especially after more aggressive throttle. Turned out to be a bad PCV Valve. Changed it out, now all is fine.

Congrats! Looks like a nice clean car. Do some nice heads (AFRs) and a good intake and cam and you will probably make as much or more power than my Kenne Bell 1.5 set-up with plain GT40P heads and and E303 type cam. My car makes 328rwhp/384rwtq SAE and is a lot of fun on the street. My last 5.0...

I daily my GTR all year round, I have Winter tires on it after October. It is quick enough to handle most of those monsters, especially from a dig. With the mods it is a solid mid-high 10 second car @ 130 The Foxbody is for when I want to drive something a little more raucous.

Thanks, I gotta drive it work one day next week.

Bought the car in March of 2016. It needed paint and rims. In October the car overheated and cracked the block. I had a new short block put in, freshened up the heads, and did a new clutch. Just this month I did new paint and wheels/tires. Nittos all around, Nitto 555R DRs 275/40/17 out back...

The previous owner did this and told me it was safe, my bad. I have my buddy who is excellent and will dyno it and tune it, his wife works for me. Nice business perk. He did my 03 Cobra to 492rwhp SAE way back when. Will find out soon

That is why my buddy will check it out. It really needs a switch chip, car has Nitrous which would be a different tune than without Nitrous.

Easy enough, I've been away from fox bodies for a while. My buddy has a mobile dyno and does dyno-tuning. I will just do all at once.

That is the problem, I don't know.

I definitely thought it should come out harder, at least 1.8-1.9, that alone would drop the times to low 13s. I also thought the mph would be a bit higher, more like 104. I think a tune should help. I do worry about the pinging I heard somewhere around 1/2-3/4 track on the second pass. The...

Ran the 87 for the first time today (Easter Sunday) in nice 60 degree air right off the highway. 327 stroker with H/C/I, Built AOD, 3200 stall, 4.10s, MT DRs. Not bad, 13.5@102 on a 2.0 60', car should launch harder? I think the tune is set up for Nitrous which I disconnected, needs to be...

UncleMeat - When I still had my Novi 2000 Blown 2v GT, I ran a modded WRX on the street. He dumped the clutch at 5500rpm and jumped way ahead from the start, but by the top of 1st beginning of 2nd I screamed by him. :owned: Of course me having an automatic helped a bit, with my new 03...

My car was up to 385rwhp/371rwtq SAE on my automatic 2000 GT and I had a total of 12K miles blown in 1 year when the #1 Piston decided to go. Total miles on car were 33K. The automatic sucks down 5% so this would be like 405rwhp on a stick car. The Ford dealer told me the Piston was not...

Sir Hacksalot - Gearheads are still gearheads regardless of their age. Cobra owners are almost always gearheads and modify their cars. I just turned 40. I would love a new Cobra and would mod the living heck out of it, but a health problem might not allow me to drive a stick on a...

I have been supercharged for a year and currently run 13# of intercooled boost with a Novi 2000 and Paxton intercooler. After 12000 miles my #1 piston took a dump, but the rods are fine. My car is 3 years old and has a total of 33000 miles. The 4.6 engine is perfect for naturally aspirated...

Keep searching, you can easily find a clean Vert out there for $4000-$6000 if you want. Mu buddy just sold a 90 Vert (2 owner car) with 100,000 miles on it, new top, new leather seats, and original decent paint for $4000. It was an automatic GT. I bought my 90 LX Vert for $8500 ( new top...

I always thought you could buy a scattershield as a safety precaution to protect you if your clutch decided to come up throught the floorboard. Also, a driveshaft safety loop is added insurance in case your driveshaft snaps and decides to turn your car in to a 2 ton polevault stick. I wish...

If I had to do it all over again: I would either go for the stock Vortech SQ kit that comes with 38# injectors, 255lph fuel pump, and a computer chip. (Do not use their tune, request a blank chip) I would then get a powerpipe, 90mm Lmaf, and a dyno-tune to go with it and with a little luck...

That is AWESOME! :) I love the fact that just bolting on the blower gets you almost 400rwhp and over 400rwtq and with minor mods you have 425rwhp+, and that torque curve is :nice: I wish I had low end torque during normal cruising, it must feel great getting shoved back in the seat all the...

I know where you are coming from. I bought my 2000 GT with 19K miles on it for $19000 + tax = $20,000 back in 12/02. Trade in value over the summer of 2003 was $12,000. I also have spent $10,000 in modifications = $30,000. My stock shortblock finally quit and if Ford doesn't replace...
