    Slicks + highway, how dangerous?

    I want to go to the track in the morning and i live about 1 hour from the track. i was wondering if it is ok to drive on the highway with them. if so, should i run a higher tire pressure, like 30psi or somthing?

    well i thought the lincolns did not have H.O. motors/(cam)... anyway. your question is pretty broad. you need colder plugs, you need to take 2 * of timing out for ever 50hp you want to spray. buy a nitrous kit and follow the directions. im not sure exactly you want to know. search the...

    somebody shoot me!

    i know a guy who was running 8.90's in the 1/4 with a 347 and a stock 302 distibutor. he advised me never to waste my money on an expensive distro... I mean his car was fast but dont you think it would be quicker if he invested the$200-$300 on a better unit? all i know is he was fast with the...

    comp polymers + N20?

    I know this intake hurts low end power and is not recomended for boost. but do you think it would be safe/effective to use this intake paired with a 100hp dry setup? my car has trouble hooking up on the street so it might be cool if i could lose a little grunt on the bottem end while making...

    was the 88 gt available with a 140mph speedo?

    yeh thats when i had it inspected in MA. like i said before the car was from NY and the title did not list the miles like the MASS ones do. i guess they dont even check the miles at NY inspection stations? that makes it kinda easy for someone to roll back the miles without anyone knowing...

    was the 88 gt available with a 140mph speedo?

    thanks. i just checked and it does not say "certified calibration". its pretty ****ty that i just realized this now. i guess it is very possible that my 65k mustang is actually a 175k car. that just makes my day, can you detect the sarcasm?:mad: thanks for the info though, i guess my...

    was the 88 gt available with a 140mph speedo?

    SO..... what the heck. do you have any way of kowing (or prooving) that your hatch came fresh out of the factory with the 140mph speedometer? "LtDavis It wasn't until late '89 when Ford started using 140 speedos, all '90-'93 5.0s had them " ^ if thats a solid fact then i am gonna have to...

    was the 88 gt available with a 140mph speedo?

    ok so now the question is: can the speedo be converted from 85 to 140 without swapping the odometer? all i care about is if the miles are incorrect. the car is realy clean and in great condition but its strating to burn one leggers instead of posi, and my check oil light comes on A LOT! I...

    was the 88 gt available with a 140mph speedo?

    the reason i ask is because my 1988 gt has a 140mph speedo in it and i thought the 88's still had 85mph speedos in them. if so does this mean all the gauges (INCLUDING MY ODOMETER) is not origional? the odometer reads 65,000 orig miles, it would suck to find out that ive been screwed over...
