    Been a while since I've had my supercharged '93 5.0 hatch and sadly not getting another Mustang but instead a late 80's F-150 with a 5.0 V8. Just wanted to check in here to see a) what differences there were between the motor in the Mustang and the F-150, b) what I should know about carburetor...

    Beware of this potential scammer: jaques mice - [email protected]

    Long story short, this guy started out kind of shady and refused to answer some relevant questions (his mailing address, his stangnet username since he found the ad in our classifieds), along with his trying to harass me into selling him the gears...not to mention his "shipping agent"...makes...

    Need some opinions (of the technical type) on my setup and options

    Alright, some may recall I installed a Paxton Novi 1000 supercharger setup. A lot of various problems followed, not directly caused by the s/c but from the install process, etc. At this point, due to financial concerns and generally not being happy with the setup, I am thinking of selling...

    Anyone else have problems with Nov 06 issue of MM&FF?

    I just bought MM&FF and was just doing a quick skim through it when I realized pages 67-98 are in the magazine twice AND pages 99-131 are completely missing! :shrug: Has anyone else experienced this for this issue? Or did I get the one screwed up print job? I emailed their customer...

    Summit Racing battery relo. box - How to make track legal?

    So I bought the Summit Racing battery relocation kit a LONG time ago...never got around to returning it when I found it was not track legal. So, is there any way to make it track legal in a hatchback? Any mods to the box, running a vent tube, etc? At the very least, what wires are...

    Anyone have 'stang stickers on their daily driver?

    So although my Subie has no issues taking most little ricey cars...there are still others who talk crap with their cars (revs, cutting me off, etc). So, in order to let the camaro, SUV, and even certain rich-boy Mustang owners know that if they want a fairer fight (or more likely in my favor...

    "Rev Limiter" feeling @ ~2500 RPM w/ Blower Installed

    I installed my Paxton Novi 1000 supercharger last weekend and after hunting down some oil leaks, got it running. I am posting the problem here because I think the problem has to do with a non-blower specific part - that and no one seems to care in the supercharger forums here. Present setup...

    Where the hell do I get this part: 3/8" x 18 NPT tap

    Installing my Paxton Novi 1000 and the installation manual says to use a 3/8" x 18 NPT tap (not provided with parts). Where do I buy this? Advance Auto had a kit with a 3/8-16 in it and Lowe's has kits and individual parts with 3/8-16 in them. Can't install the oil line without this...

    KOER Codes 94 44 (searched)

    Well, I figured since I spent the money on the code scanner last summer and never used it (found the surging idle problem by quick trial and error), I would go ahead and spend the few minutes to run the codes to see if any problems are present before I go about the supercharger install next...

    I was looking at what needs to be plugged in terms of vacuum lines (just did smog removal) and realized there is one cracked partially from the connector pictured above to the EGR valve off of the throttle body. What size is the stock vacuum hose? I see there are numerous sizes at Advance...

    Your thoughts on DynoJet WideBand Commander (searched)

    Searched and saw one person liked it...but nothing else referencing it. Since none of the widebands (not even the one Anderson Ford Motorsports sells) is actually read and utilized by the PMS, I want one that can do standalone data logging yet have an easy to read display. I bought the...

    What gauges? What pod?

    Supercharging in 2 weeks. I need some gauges! I have it narrowed down to 3: Fuel Pressure, Boost, Air/Fuel Ratio (from Wideband). I think I will just do a fuel pressure gauge next to the new adjustable regulator. So that gets it down to 2. I have read about t-ing into the vacuum line...

    Quick plug check: Normal wear or High Speed Glazing?

    I thought I would check a plug while I was under the hood removing A/C system. I compared it to the Haynes manual and to me it looks like a hint of high speed glazing. I took some good close up pics for opinions. They are Bosch Platinums (dropping them when I do the blower, so no worries) if...
