    Before and after under hood pics *DUW*

    I did do a lot of mods at once, one thing always leads to another what can you do:shrug: I love the CSR water pump. I am running an afco rad, black magic fan, and I have no thermostat, it has been gutted, and I can beat the car all day long in the NM heat and it never exceeds 180 ever. I could...

    Before and after under hood pics *DUW*

    I had a lot of time to play with it. The motor was out of the car for a year for unforseen difficulties, the long story I mentioned. I have no idea what it will run, I have not raced it yet. I still have to get the roll bar installed, and get the car tuned on the dyno. I hope to run it very...

    Before and after under hood pics *DUW*

    The gt-40 intake was pained the same time the car was, it turned out nice, but it was holding the car's performance back. The brake lines are still there, I just painted them so they blend in. Thank guys:nice:

    Before and after under hood pics *DUW*

    Before After Pulled the motor to make a few changes (very long story) and to install the k-member, so I thought I would clean up the engine bay. I started to fill all the holes, but that takes for ever. Believe or not, I just sprayed it myself with cans of spray on bed liner...

    which injectors? 24# or 30#

    I think you would be safer with 30's.

    Is my car going to be a dog?

    Whats the elevation in Michigan? Phoenix is around 1200' and HOT!. I say if you tune all the hp out of it and drive it like you stole it, you should be 12.1-12.2, even with some more weight, because I believe Michigan is around sea level and better colder air. Good luck with your combo, and...

    Is my car going to be a dog?

    My old set up in my coupe was really close to your setup and my best time in Phoenix AZ with no tuning in the computer and my first time driving it was a [email protected] 1.66 60' on E.T streets, and I drove it there from NM at 20mpg. The only difference I see is mine is a coupe 3020lbs 5sp, 10.5:1...

    I am also using the UPR kit. Fitment was good, no problems so far. I am also using their caster/camber plates, they are really nice pieces. I do believe you need them with there coilover kit.

    Going from 2.73's to 3.90's, so excited I can't wait!!!

    You are going to have a blast. I remember when I went from 2.73's to 3.73, and like everyone else is saying, its the biggest SOTP mod. Driving the car will be much more enjoyable. And you should be fine in the 1/4. I know lots of guys with mods close to yours with 4.10's doing fine.

    Livernois heads or Patriot Stage II heads

    My friend just did the patriot stage 2 heads with the comp 270 cams with really good results. No dyno or track time numbers yet, but I drove it, and I don't think I will be racing him any time soon in my Mach 1. His car is an 03 GT with all the bolt ons. His car runs smooth and idles really...

    I have an MGW in my Mach, and a Pro 5.0 in my 88, and there is no comparison, MGW rules over Pro 5.0.

    Mach 1 What would you do?

    Well there is nothing wrong with having your dream, if you can store the 92 somewhere safe, then it really does not matter how much time it take to finish it, or money for that matter, because thats what you want. I would never try to discurage someone from completing a dream, but take my...

    Mach 1 What would you do?

    Well I am some what on the other end of your situation. I have a 88 5.0 almost where you want your 92 to be some day, and let me tell you that it has taken me 6 years and more money then I paid for my Mach 1 to get it that way. If you have a really good place to store the 92 so it does not get...
