    Muffler Question

    I have Spintechs Pro Street's, the louder of the two (Sportsmans are the quieter) I really like the sound of them. They are the only set of mufflers I have ever had, but I would say they are kinda like Flowmasters. But alot better, they drone very little do not sound so metallic, and they are...

    Anyone else w/ ripped hurst shifter boot???

    Yes Kerpal you can use the Hurst shifter stick kit on other shifters. I have mine running to a Pro 5.0 that shifts just as sweet as can be. The only thing that was slightly off was the stock bolts were too long so I had to shim them with washers, but it was no big deal.

    Garbage gas mileage, 10mpg

    My car is pretty well stock (mods in sig) and all I really get is city mileage, and it sucks. I usually get about 12 mpg. I took a highway trip the other day and I think I got around 18 mpg or so. Anyway I just had a total brain fart. :bang: Last summer when we put in my autometer gauges...

    Got a set of slicks do I need subframes????

    I picked up a set of 26x10.5 et streets at the NMRA Joilet race, and I was wondering how bad I need a set of subframes. I really think I do, from what all I have ever heard you need them when using slicks. My dad says that I dont need them and the slicks wont even hook that well. I think he...

    Serious Info Needed On Subframe Install

    Ok here's the deal, I picked up a set of D&D subframe connectors for 60 bucks at the Joliet NMRA race. Real nice heavy duty quality looking pieces I might add. No shops in my area are wanting or are able to do this. I know that you need a drive on rack for the body to be right when you...

    1/8th mile times

    My previous best was 9.3 @ around 74-75. I just recently got 3.73 gears and full rebuilt posi, and it dropped to 9.6's. But i think that was just because it was a horrible night at the track. No one could hook and I was the president of that club. OMG I could not believe it if I went WOT in...

    87-93 5.0's, does the rear brakes function under braking?

    Haha fox brakes what a joke. More like 80% front 0% rear. Seriously the brake setups on our cars SUCK. They were overpowered and underbraked from the factory and Ford knew it too. I experianced this one night when i had to slam my brakes at 130+ mph. Lets just say it toasted the front tires...

    H/C/I done!!

    Looking at that third picture it looks like you forgot to drain the coolant out before you took the heads off. I hope you have changed the oil, it would def. not be good to have coolant in the oil. Also how do you like the Typhoon intake I have been told it is more of an upper RPM intake...
