    Brakes Car Dives When Braking

    So just as the title states. The harder I brake, the harder it dives right. Seems to me a few years back my buddies fox had this issue and it turned out to be a bad piston (sticking I think) in the caliper. Any thoughts or ideas?

    Anyone have anything positive/negative to say about them? I want a stock fiberglass hood and they seem to be the only place I can find one. I searched but didnt have any luck. What sayeth ye? My other preference would be the small 1.5 Cervini's Fiberglass hood. Thoughts and opinions welcome.

    Suspension Problems

    Mostly self created but let me run down what I've done and what I want out of my car(93 gt) I had a coupe at one time and ran drag springs with Lakewood 90/10s on the front no sway bar. The wheels were stock ponies. Many people said that suspension would be murder on the street but I never had...

    Sct Bama Tuning

    I have gone about as far performance wise as I wish too on my current build. Besides mainly maintenance stuff and some paint and body which I am leaving to the experts. So, will the tune help add anything power wise? I don't have any drivability issues so it wouldn't be for that.

    Supercharger Gurus

    I'm going to run the vortech v-3 at 6lbs of boost. I need to know what extras I will need to finish the install. Will a 190lph fuel pump be enough? Will I need a wideband? With the boost that low will I need a tune? If I need it tuned what tuning device should I go with? And so on, etc...

    Roadside emmisions testing

    Who's run into these? What is your take on them? I saw one here in north Texas for the first time this morning. I think its kinda crappy if you have an inspection sticker. Seems just another way for the Government to take away our freedoms. Meanwhile lobbyist companies pump disgusting amounts of...

    BBK Longtubes hitting steering shaft

    I know this has been discussed before but I couldnt find a definative answer. When I had stock heads the shaft cleared the longtubes by a few millimeters. Now that I've gone to GT40P's it rubs. I just need a few millimeters again for it to clear, anyone have any suggestions?

    Injector Gurus Halp

    I have a set of orange top labeled python. Can anyone tell me what lb injectors these are? I have a GT40P Head Cobra intake stock cam and at idle it runs rough and backfires. When I put load on the engine it smooths out. The plugs seem fuel soaked so I'm wondering if the injectors are to blame...

    Help on GT40P/Cobra intake install

    I've finally got everything back together but the engine is not wanting to idle. Running rich and popping. I tried setting TDC at number 1 and adjusting the dizzy twice. No codes and the motor has new 02 sensors/ACT/EGT. Seems like the backfire is only coming from the right side. Its a 1993 GT...

    Nitrous Talk

    After going back and forth on what type of power adder I want I decided to do Nitrous. I'm not new to nitrous per se, just new to spraying foxbodies. I had a Nitrous Express system on my SRT-4 and it really woke the car up. I might still supercharge the stang at a later date. So, I have some...

    Nitrous guys

    What shot can I safely run on the stock internals? Are you running dry or wet shots? I am thinking of trading my current car in and getting back into a mustang (used to drive a 5.0 coupe) S197 and want to throw my nitrous kit on the stang. Any help would be appreciated. :nice:
