    What temp is too hot?

    What temp is too hot? - Think I'm overheating. I installed gauges and a supercharger a couple months ago. Never really knew what tempterature my car was really running before that, so I have no idea what I should expect to see now. While it was cool, the car stayed between 180-205 degrees...

    Anything I can do about the chips in my paint?

    My hood is just about completely covered in rock chips from more than seven years and 126,000 miles of daily driving. Short of getting a new paint job (which admittedly, I need anyways), is there anything I can do to make it not look quite so bad?

    D-1SC installed!

    It was a bumpy ride, but my D-1SC is finally installed, and she got tuned by Manny at HPP this afternoon. She put down 473 RWHP and 422 RWTQ. That's a little more than I was trying to get, and considering that my shortblock is stock I'm going to have to be a little gentle. :nice: Here's my...

    What is this connector for?

    What is this wiring harness for? We we thinking of taking it out because it's partially in the way of my ProCharger intake, but we weren't sure if it needed to be located there or not. When you pull it out of the radiator shroud, it's got a strange-looking green cylinder in it. Can this be...

    Ford GT Fuel Pump: Fuel Pressure all over the place?

    I just installed a Ford GT (supercar) fuel pump into my 2002 Mutang GT in preparation for my ProCharger which goes on in a week or two. With my stock fuel pump, I saw the typical 39-43 PSI of fuel pressure, which would drop sharply to around 25 PSI when I left off and then punched the gas...

    What kind of injectors do I need?

    I'm going to be buying a set of 60-lb. injectors for my 2002 Mustang GT which is getting ProCharged in a week or two, but I'm a little confused as to what type I need to get. I've read about EV1 and EV6 injectors and Jetronic/Minitimer and USCAR connectors, but I'm not sure what I have/need or...

    Upstream Oxygen Sensors - On with open loop tune?

    A couple years back I started having problems with my upstream oxygen sensors. The circuit they were on kept blowing its 20A fuse under the dash. Sometimes this wouldn't happen for a few days, and sometimes it would happen as soon as I turned the key to ON before even starting the car, but...

    Gauges Installed

    Took me a total of about 12 hours with the help of a friend, but I finally finished installing my gauges this week. They are Boost, Fuel Pressure, and Water Temperature from the Autometer Sport-Comp II Pro Control series of gauges. Please pardon the dirty engine bay. I haven't had a chance...

    FOR SALE: TR-3650 Transmission (Dallas, TX)

    This transmission came off my 2002 Mustang GT. It works fine, except that the synchros for 4th and Reverse don't work too well any more. There is some oxidation on the input shaft, but nothing that can't be easily cleaned up. Some new synchros and this transmission will work great. Still...

    Custom stainless brake lines from DynoSpeed Racing

    Just posting this to show someone the difference between the Russell stainless steel rear brake lines and the custom lines I got from DynoSpeed Racing. :nice: The DynoSpeed lines are the installed ones with the round banjo fitting in the attached photo. The Russell line is the one that has...

    Replaced my MGW shifter with the Steeda Tri-Ax

    Given everything I've read on these forums, what I've just done is contrary to what many people on here have recommended. I now count myself among the few who can claim to have tried more than one shifter on this car, and in fact, this is technically the 5th shifter my car has seen (stock and...

    P1151 - Bank 2 Lean

    I've been having my fair share of codes lately from a short I experienced recently. I believe I finally have all that worked out, but after 4 days of no SES light, this code popped up again this evening. My fix 4 days ago was to re-seal (as best as I could) the 2 slip joints on my LT headers...

    Head Swap - Anything else I need to know?

    I'm getting ready to put Fox Lake stage 2 heads on my car, and I want to make sure I have all my bases covered. I'll be referencing this thread, this thread, and my Haynes manual for some misc. info as needed. The general plan is to remove and reinstall the engine with the transmission and...

    Ridiculous race - I lost bad...really bad.

    So I went out to the 1/4 mile at the Texas Motorplex yesterday. Ran a new best 60', 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile, so it was a pretty good day. My second to last run I was lined up to run against some old Camaro who looked to be a 10 or 11 second car. Well, he ended up getting towed off the track...

    Broke a stud. How to replace?

    So last time I went to the track, I broke a wheel stud when I was removing my slicks. (How, I have NO idea.) How does one go about replacing these? Is it possible to do so without removing the axle? I would hope all I need to do is take the wheel and brake caliper off, then tap the stud out...
