    Kenne Bell 1.7l kit getting installed, what clutch?

    If it's a sprung clutch disc I don't see how it's harsh. I too have a spec stg. 3 on my MR2 (350whp) and it is daily driven and feels great. I've narrowed them down between the SPEC stg. 3, ACT, or the Centerforce DF. Of those three which would be best? I've owned a centerforce before...

    Going shopping, need brands

    Thats what I keep telling him too! It's going to be an entirely different animal! This is mainly going to be mainly a street car but him and I will occasionally go to the track. I will probably drive it the first couple times down the quarter and see what it's got. If he wanted to auto...

    Going shopping, need brands

    lol yes those are very very nice! ;) He does want to go supercharged or turbo'd but not right now. I'm thinking in a year or so when this power gets boring to him. :) Price range is around $5000 for right now, goals I said above and don't see the relevance of my age for this matter but I...

    Going shopping, need brands

    Eh, kinda wanted to stay NA for the moment. If he goes with forced induction it will either be a twin screw or a turbo. Centrifigals suck in my opinion as they are horribly inefficiant and have turbo-like lag. I've driven a centrifigal sc mustang and didn't like the feel of the power delivey...

    Going shopping, need brands

    Oh and there are other goodies to go on the car but I got those covered. When it's finished we will post pics and a video to go with it. Hopefully even a time slip and dyno sheet. Lastly, would you guys recommend an ignition upgrade such as the MSD 6al etc?

    Sick Buildup, Wisemen welcome

    Running mid to low 12's is not very difficult with a 5.0 engine concidering the mods. I would not consider it a "sick" build. I mean my mods in my siggy are extensive somewhat but I wouldn't considere it heavily modded just. I can hit low 12's with my mod too. How much horsepower are you...

    too bad I am not going to be able to experience this weather in my mustang for much too longer because she is going into hybernation before the first snow flake.

    One good thing about winter....

    Is the cold weather. It help tremendous amounts on my car and the power output. My car pulls hard as it is but with it colder out (40's etc) it's a whole new car. It's damn fast and I love it :) One interesting side note. I drove my car for about an hour on the highway and when I got...

    owner's manual says 5w-30 or 10w-30?

    A couple question regarding tuning and exhaust fitment

    Yeah I would of course reburn it I was just unsure of the compatability of it. Alright I will reword my question, what do you think would be a good set up for my car given the mods? Thanks! Josh

    A couple question regarding tuning and exhaust fitment

    Hi Guys, I have a '95 GT and the mods are fairly extensive (mods in sig) but one thing I am worried about is there is not tune beside the one done by the previous owner to get a good idle with the cam setup. Now, I have the oportunity to pick up a dyno chip (he was unsure of the brand)...
