    I want to get rid of the retard between shifts!!

    Hanging idle, that´s correct. I meant retard of the ignition point . Sorry for not making myself clear, my english is not very good, besides having little knowledge on mechanics; I live in another country (Brazil). But I just love V8s and musclecar in general..

    I want to get rid of the retard between shifts!!

    :nice: Grady, thanks a lot. I was thinking about and have been reading a lot of forums on the Tweecer lately; you make things seem a lot easier, so I will get one. I have reading yor posts along the years and you maybe don´t remember helping me a lot on my upgrades. Not wrong with studying, I...

    I want to get rid of the retard between shifts!!

    The time has come for tuning! Well, I know there are several functions I have to work on, but for christ sake, I wanna get rid of the timing retard (hanging idle) between shifts, most of all:bang: .. I guess P.M.S. is easier for learning, so... does it eliminate this? Or should I stick with...

    Heads/Cam for a 95 gt, any ideas?

    Save yourself the headache and get the AFR's :lol: Definetely! I went initially the GT40p route, and while the combo (see my sig previous and now) generated very good results, I almost couldn´t sleep for 2 years until I put the AFR165 heads on.. And my feelings were right, quite a...

    By all means, get AFR165 heads!

    10*? Get that timing to 18* asap!! :lol: Yes ], I agree, it made a lot of diference, but no small gain came from the higher fuel pressure and volume, too. Aluminum heads can take a lot of "abuse" before they start pinging, thanks to greater heat dissipation. Just be aware to go from 2°...

    By all means, get AFR165 heads!

    :jaw: By all means, get those heads!! Let me start from the begining... I finished install on december, and I had some problems with rockers and valve covers, easily solved. My mechanic then suggested me to drive for some days, giving some time for the EEC IV to "learn" new patterns and to let...

    Original tri-bars 17" wheels will clear cobra/bullit 13" brakes?

    I really hope you´re right. I´d like to keep my car as stock as possible (except for engine and suspension mods :D )

    Original tri-bars 17" wheels will clear cobra/bullit 13" brakes?

    I´ll upgrade to 13" front and 12" rear brakes, and have to know if my stock 17" wheels will clear them. If someone has any info, please just let me know asap. (I can´t afford new wheels...)

    bullit suspension:Does it come with swaybar bushings?

    :shrug: While I was searching I´ve learned the Bullit swaybars have diferent diameters (front 28mm rear 23mmm), compared to 30mmm e 25 for our SN95 cars (please correct me if I´m wrong). I couldn´t find those bushings, and as far as I know they must be replaced when changing swaybars. What do I...

    bullit suspension: offset front bushings and different swaybar bushings?

    bullit suspension: offset front bushings and different swaybar bushings? sorry!!! :shrug: I´m planning also front and rear bushings replacement, and since the car will drop a little, do I need offset front bushings? And since the Bullit swaybars diameters are different than our SN95, do I need...

    ford racing supercharger ??

    I´m not an expert, you see, but I´d like to add some comments. A valid point is that you pay for brand new parts, and guaranteed by Ford. If it generates 20-30% more power (is it correct?), it´s not that bad for the value, considering a Vortech is over 3k (however it may have more margin for...

    o2 extensions for LTs

    I can buy either BBK or MAC, right? (does anybody know of another brand, maybe?). Can it be for 79-93 models, or it has to be for 94-95 only? (AT C-F-M I´ve found only o2 extension sets for 79-93) Thanks for any replies.

    Stock Intake

    I bought the AFR165 too, and as I would do some port work on the heads (along with my cobra intake - gasket match, intake ports match, etc), and it´ll take a while, now I´m using temporarily my stock intake. Considering my previous upgrade (see my sig), man, do this intake have low down...
