    Beginning mods...

    Obviously all those parts will work best when put together.... understood. My point was that if I had $800-$1000 to spend what part of that bundle would/should I put together first? I tried to lay that plan out initially... my bad. No to gears, no to NOS. Heads or...

    Beginning mods...

    Hey... thanks for your time guys! So would the consensus be that nice aluminum heads/cam working with the stock intake and TB would be better than stock heads/cam with aftermarket intake and TB? I've considered the gears.... I just don't want to go that route. Thanks though. I have all...

    Beginning mods...

    Every other month I read thru a ton of existing threads on combo choices and suggestions. I especially read the ones with low budgets because that's where I'm at. The truth is there are plenty of options that are all viable. I've looked at power adders and just don't feel comfortable with...

    Block plate needed

    Huge thanks! CJ had it... $23, free shipping! Unfortunately I wasn't able to catch the Summit plate before it was shipped. So I'll end up paying the ground shipping to send it back. Still saved me $50. That's nice. ;)

    Block plate needed

    Anyone know where else to get one? Summit has one, part number PA26445, for $70. And I'm not going to pick one out of a yard. But I may call one to see if they have one already I suppose.

    Diagnosing a Clutch Problem... help.

    Yeah that's sound somewhat familiar. I'm a big guy... so maybe I'll do that when I get home in case I break something. Ha. I'm pretty much going with the idea the clutch needs to be replaced. If the cable was being stretched... wouldn't that mean the longer cable is allowing the clutch to...

    Diagnosing a Clutch Problem... help.

    Yep... depends on what day of the week it was built too, hey?? ha ha. Anyhow.. a little bit of an edit (I just took it to lunch and back). The pedal engages more at the top than towards the floor. I'm not sure how this effects anything. Is there a way to adjust the factory setting...

    Diagnosing a Clutch Problem... help.

    I have a stock 92' 5.0. Late last year on a few occasions it seemed as though I may be losing a clutch. It would slip on hard pulls... meaning the rpms increase wouldn't match the speed increase properly. The car went into storage with nothing done about it. I've had it out for about a month...

    Broken Exhaust stud... dang

    Exactly.... the fact it isn't leaking will likely delay the fix. But like someone else noted it will probably leak eventually. Who knows... I'll wait for a nice summer night with nothing else to do and decide to crack a few beers while listening to the radio and fix it. Still... I...

    Broken Exhaust stud... dang

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Much appreciated. Unfortunately I do not have welder skills. Is the stud screwed into the flange from the top side? Or is it pressed into the flange with splines? The stud is still sticking out at least an inch from the flange where it broke. I was...

    Broken Exhaust stud... dang

    I'm taking off the factory mid pipe with cats last night and the last nut of the four that hold it to the manifolds is not coming off. I sprayed it with everything and finally it broke. For some reason I get over the fact I'm screwed and continue with the install. I put the new pipe on...

    Am I screwed??

    Yeah, I messed with it more last night. It's not going to fit. When the panhard install is complete and I drive the car that will ultimately make the decision for me. If the performance is such I can't live without the panhard bar then I'll cope with the exhaust in the best way I can find...

    Am I screwed??

    Dang... So I started the install on my MM panhard bar last night. I just don't see how my Bassani pipes are going to clear. I don't know if I should start banging on pieces and massaging them to fit (which they may not and then I'll just have beat up parts) or say screw it and dump the...

    shock/strut settings

    I have a set of Tokico adjustable shocks and struts. They have the nice little dial settings that you can simply adjust with a flat head screw driver. I decided I wanted to play with them and noticed that all four are set to "3" on a scale of 1 to 5. Could someone save me the time of chasing...

    Vortech V-3 Supercharger

    Thanks for the tip. Although you seem to dispise the Vortech now... would happen to still be able to advise what injectors or MAF you'd recommend? And is that a specific fuel pump that most places would have on a the shelf...ie like Summit? Tune is a must..... very understandable...

    Vortech V-3 Supercharger

    Exactly... I got nuthin right now!! Now I just need to search around to get tips on install and to find out what else I need to get to make this a great addition. I'm seeing injectors and a larger volume fuel pump so far? No mention of a larger throttle body or mass air being ESSENTIAL...

    Vortech V-3 Supercharger

    So let's see.... 350hp with mods... 275hp on a stock set up. If I tweak it a bit and land in the middle... say 300ish.... that would be perfect on a three thousand pound car. thanks for the feedback.

    Vortech V-3 Supercharger

    V-1 SC trim.... the 5-6psi version Who's got one and how pleased have you been? I understand there will be a lot of people coming in here and saying the 5-6psi isn't enough.... but really.. it's probably just right. I'm not building a race car. I just want a decent upgrade and retain the...

    1.7 rockers or cam?

    Thanks fellas... I think I'll do the gears. And I really need to put in the sub frame connectors. I think I'll go ahead with the panhard bar right away as well. We'll see... I'll save the TB and intake swap for next spring when I have a few dollars more. Pulleys and alt. swap make...

    1.7 rockers or cam?

    Okay... I spent the sixty minute minimum doing my due diligence to search for answers on this subject. Now I'm posting a new thread. It seems as though most people are doing both the cam and the rockers.... but it seems as though it's not really needed. They're doing the same thing roughly...
