    Need new gaskets and....? going turbo soon

    Been there done that =) 9333pt-1's are what I have run and have had good luck with them. They usually only blow right before something catastrophic happens, and I would rather have a blown gasket than a collection of rod and cap pieces laying in my oil pan. FWIW - the most boost I was able to...

    how do i hook up my boost controller with a TT

    I think its a ball and spring type and is meant to go inline with the vaccum hose from the turbo to the wastegate side port. Those were made basically to take a stock boosted DSM - and let them turn up the boost manually. -Jason

    how do i hook up my boost controller with a TT

    There are a few different ways to attach the controller. I think what you are trying to do here is use the controller as a diverter. Meaning you would want to attach a single vaccum line from the mainfold to the inlet side of the controller, then the outlet side would have a t attached, and...

    Anyone running Iridium spark plugs on a supercharged motor?

    :bs: indeed I would highly disagree with that comment. I have NGK TR7IX iridiums in my car right now (2 ranges colder than stock), and also tried a set of Autolites from Napa that were only a single range colder. I used both while tuning my car (meaning I had to pull and clean the plugs a...

    GT40 HEAD BOLTS

    "Regular" gt-40 heads such as those that come from the factory on a 93-95 cobra have 1/2 inch holes, while the block has 7/16's holes. You will need the insert washers if you want to do it right. 154-3605's I believe. -Jason

    What does it take to run with the 03/04 cobra

    Around here its an escalation of power. One person gets a ported 04 cobra, then someone does turbo to beat him, then someone else does a dart block turbo, then dart block 427 stroker twin turbos. It never ends really. ;) No matter what you do, someone somewhere will likely pull along side you...

    Snow performance methanol kit?

    Its not too hard to make your own. 1. A hobbs switch 2. bottle for the mix. 3. Water lines. 4. Nitrous nozzle. 5. An old fuel pump Grant you, it wont have the spiffy MAF voltage based ramp up like most kits offer, but it will also be a couple hundred bucks cheaper. All depends on your...

    Tire help!!

    Its not _always_ just tire model either though. For instance -a lot of my traction problems comes just from really crappy weight transfer. The rear of my car is gutted out no carpet, spare tire, speakers etc. and I have the added weight of 120lbs worth of turbo and intercooler up front, AND...

    oil pressure sending unit

    Its a special socket called an "oil pressure sending unit socket" - seriously. I wanna say its 1-1/4 but I dont recall offhand. I bought mine at NAPA but you can rent them from advance auto too I think. Its just a deep 6 point socket since Ford went out of their way to cut the corners off the...

    How fast is too fast for a street car? *SERIOUS DISCUSSION*

    Just my 2 cents... On 15psi in 4th gear on street tires on the freeway - I can break the tires loose easily. Not terribly fun unless you just like scaring the crap out of people in the passenger seat IMO ;) I turn it down to 10psi now just to make it 'usable' power - 493hp is what I was...

    Blowing out spark? What to gap my plugs at? (Miss at higher RPM's)

    Here is a vote against the (autolite) norm from me - NGK TR7IX Iridium plugs. Gapped at .36! 2 ranges colder than stock. On gt-40 iron heads, with NO ignition mods whatsoever - they didnt blow out till 12psi @4500 rpms and with the MSD, I ran 15psi all the way to 5400 without a hiccup. Keep...

    Tire help!!

    I ran the Nitto Drag radials in the rear on 17's and didnt really have too many issues with them as a daily driver tire. Just have to be cautious in the rain. I have 285/35/18 555 Nitto streets all around on my car now and hate them. They do last a LONG time, but in exchange they are very hard...

    BRAIDED STAINLESS RADIATOR HOSES?

    Unless your radiator has aluminum tanks and you can have a real -AN fittings brazed or welded on - you will have to stick with the faux looking ones with the stainless covers and the clip on ends that look like AN fittings. Summit sells the slip on stainless hose covers and the clamp covers...

    ford racing hood pins are rusting!

    Let me clarify for you. I was asking for anyone who knew where I could find 100% stainless steel torsion pins with 100% stainless steel torsion rings, preferably created with 300 series non-magnetic stainless steel. i.e ones that wont rust - as was indicated by the nature and concerns mentioned...

    ford racing hood pins are rusting!

    Wait a sec. The whole thing or the torsion pins? My Ford pins rusted almost immediately - but it was only the torsion pin ring and I agree - it looks like ass. I just sand them down with a dremel and zoop them up. not perfect, but better than the rust look. If anyone knows who makes ALL...
