    347 vs 331 debate

    I've heard contrasting opinions on this one. The general consensus, of the people I hear from, seem to say that due to the stroke and bore ratio of a 347, it's not as reliable for extended mileage, as in street applications. And that a 331 stroker is more reliable over long-term. But I also...

    Miss/exhaust backfire

    It's been forever and a day since I've been on the boards...forgot that I was even a member. Anyways I've been having persistent issues with this combination since it went together, its an intermittent misfire (all operating states except WOT) combined with random, severe power-loss and exhaust...

    Help with DTC's?

    So I scanned my car after a check engine light came on and got 4 codes. The light stayed on while the car was running, but when shut off and restarted it went out and hasn't come back. It came on shortly after doing a WOT 1-2-3 pull with ~6300 rpm shift points. Codes are: 29, 34, 41, and...

    DRONING GONE!

    I never thought I'd say this...but I've succumb to glasspacks. I noticed, running open X, that the car had very little of the droning that's driven me insane from BOTH the Flows and the Spintechs. I mean it wasn't just a normal slight drone...it was a BLASTING, BANGING, EARBLEEDING drone...

    2.3 NA Power??

    My buddy has a 93 LX vert with an N/A 2.3 liter and stock auto trans.... He's wanting to do an N/A buildup on it because he's an AutoX freak, and for whatever reason, doesn't want to put a more powerful motor in there....and he refuses to do a 5.0 swap...mostly for weight reasons. But...

    Quad shocks...?

    Am I the only one who doesn't have these, doesn't know what they are, or what they look like? I'm just curious..been looking to put some Weld rims on the back with some substantially wider tires.......and on all the tire threads I'm seeing, I'm seeing mention of hitting the quad shocks.. I...

    Weld wheel size?

    I just sold my motorcycle, so I'm getting a transmission soon and will need some real traction to turn some good times..... I've got factory pony wheels...16x7, 4 lug. My first question is, what's the lug pattern? 4 x ____? And also...what's the biggest I can run with what backspacing...

    Best supercharger?

    I'm on a limited budget but I've been looking around at cheap supers for the Mustang.. Which one do you guys prefer? If you could please explain why...like reliability, maintenance, power gains, etc... Right now I'm leaning heavily towards the Powerdyne because it's on sale at Jegs :D

    Spintech muffler problems?

    Ok, for the past 2 months or so now, the sound of my Spintech Pro Streets have been getting progressively worse. My exhaust system is: equal-length shorty headers, an off-road X pipe, a pair of Spintech Pro Streets, and angled turndowns. It used to sound muscle-car like..like everyone's...

    Cold engine operating problems

    When the car is cold, the motor will idle very eratically for a minute if I put it in gear to soon or change the throttle input around a lot... It basically wants to be left alone to warm up.. Also, if I'm on the gas a little bit when it's still cold, and suddenly back off the gas, it will...

    EGR on Performer RPM heads?

    The specs on my Edel. Performer RPM heads say they are non-EGR heads...however I still have my EGR system connected and it SEEMS to be operating. At least when I disconnect the wiring connector to the EGR valve, the car feels noticeably rougher on throttle changes. I've been thinking about...

    Injectors/MAF Calibration

    I've always understood that all MAF's were calibrated to injector size. So that if you want to swap your fuel injectors, you also have to swap your MAF. I just heard on another board, someone said that all Ford MAF's are calibrated the same...and that the injector calibration is in the...

    Cheap ways for more power

    Ok guys...this August, I'm putting the car up on a chassis dyno. Thing is, I need a new transmission...always have, still do..it's robbing serious power. I'm running 13.7's at 104 mph with this tranny....and I'm looking to put out some decent dyno numbers, to give me an idea of what to expect...

    Widest rims I can run?

    I work at a tire place and I can get tires wicked cheap....50% off all Michelines, Uniroyals, and Pirellis...and 10% over cost on everything else. Plus, I can get rims 10% over wholesale also.. I'm running stock Pony wheels right now, but I want to buy some Weld draglights. What I'm mainly...

    KOEO code 32

    So what is this mystery code? I used the Autozone scanner to pull it and their database doesnt have Code 32 listed. Yes, I'm sure I've read it right. Read PLENTY of trouble codes before... Can anyone fill me in? Only other codes I'm getting are 11 at KOEO, which is normal....and 41 and...

    Diagnostic codes dont make sense

    I've been getting a Check Engine light on when I'm driving lately. At first, it seemed correlated to me running the car low on gas. However, the other day it did it with a half tank, and the light would not go out any time I put load on the engine. So, I went into Autozone and borrowed their...

    Synthetic, and why didnt I do it sooner?!

    I just converted my car over to Mobil 1 10w30 today, running my trusty FL-1a filter and a pair of magnetic drain plugs... The motor's got maybe 10k on it, not much at all.... I have to say, I'm entirely impressed driving it with the synthetic for the first time. I've never noticed any power...

    O2 codes at open loop??

    The other day I got in the car to leave from work and made it around the block before a Check Engine light came on. It would go out for one or two seconds, then come on. Mostly under acceleration. I pulled into the Autozone because for one of their free diagnostics (dont want to buy a code...

    Spintech mufflers?

    I'm getting real real tired of my Flows, and I've heard TONS of good reviews about Spintech mufflers, but have never really HEARD one in person, or heard a good sound sample. The Spintech site's sound clips are all screwed up so it only plays about 2 seconds. First off, do any of you guys have...

    K&N + Aftermarket MAF problems?

    Ive heard about this happening before but wanted to get opinions. Starting about a week ago, my car started running strange. Before now, it had just occasionally backfired or missed maybe once in 3 or 4 days....not often at all. Now all of a sudden it has started to lose power....it's...
