    What is up with my timing????

    That's the stock pointer for yeah. You'll have to find out where your real TDC is and not where the pointer says it is. Mine showed 22* intial with spout out. After I found my TDC. It was actually 18* I was running with aluminum heads.

    BEST HEADS

    There's no magic brand of head that will get you those numbers. Go ahead, buy the little AFR's, but you'll be dissapointed when you still don't make the numbers you want. I've seen plenty of 165's just under 300rwhp. Why you ask, because it's about cross section, intake selection, rpm range...

    PLEASE HELP! BAD VIBRATION!

    Here's a thought. Check your bump steer linkage in the front. Look for blown out bushing. Check the motor for twist by measuring it in the engine bay. A missaligned crossmember maybe another factor.

    mexicano block!!

    They didn't make a roller mexican block with the high nickel content. Just a heads up on that.

    Do I need a by-pass valve?

    That trapped pressure over time will damage the compressor and bearings from backpressure. Doesn't matter how much boost. Boost is boost and it will put strain on the compressor, turbo or supercharger.

    valve noise

    What's your H,C,I combo? Are your heads stud or pedistal? I went to stud mount and some good roller rocker arms. I had to remove my baffle on the passenger side like everyone else. On the driver side I have the a tink, tink sound of the rocker arms barely touching the valve cover. I've...

    http://sbftech.com/index.php/topic,57.0.html With the 1.7 rocker arms and that cam you may need longer pushrods. http://sbftech.com/index.php/topic,61.0.html Rban must of gave you a good deal on those parts. Good catch! Nice parts and no more then 400miles on them.

    Engine Oil Leak from Lower Intake! It seemed like it?

    connect your pcv valve into the hole! also, if it's pooring out, you may have forgot to put in the baffle for the lower intake.

    NEW MUSTANG IN THE STABLE! ***PIX INSIDE****

    408 turbo gets my vote. Unless you can fork up the money for a dart block.

    My turbo kit came in. Turbo is rather small, but it'll work.

    I love to hear those babies spool up!

    6-9psi superchargers, which one? vote!

    None of the above. Save your money and do it right. Procharger with the air to air cooler. Self contained oiling system. Best power and customer service. That or go single 80-90mm turbo.

    Help with Powerdyne 9psi kit

    I was expecting to see a little bit less but not only 5psi. I did measure the pulley and it is 2.95. So I think I might try a quick run without the bypass valve to see if I get more boost. Would doing this damage the internal belt even if it was for only one first gear run?

    Help with Powerdyne 9psi kit

    I have edelbrock rpm head, RPM II intake and a stage one cam. Full exhaust and still only getting 4-5psi of boost. The belt is tight, I'm leaning towards the bosch bypass valve. But, I still need to measure the pulley, which I did when I first got it but forgot what I measured it at. I think it...

    New Fuel Pump Install Question

    Dry priming will kill your new pump. They are design for the fuel pump through the assembly. When it runs out of fuel and is kept running, it will over heat and cause the armature to go bad. Besides, how can you hear the pump prime the fuel without any fuel.

    welding in O2 bungs.

    Anywhere above 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. Too low and moisture will ruin your O2's.

    My car sounds like a 747 on take off...HELP!!

    If it was doing this before all the new stuff including the gear install. I would check all of the mounts and bolts. Could be that during a load placed on the engine/drivetrian a bad missalignment of the components could cause a whine through the drive line. Press in the clutch and the load is...

    Help with Powerdyne 9psi kit

    First off, I had underdrive pullies when I bought the car so when I installed the supercharger I had to use the underdrive water pump pulley. Now I have a over heating problem! Any ways around this? Second problem is I'm only seeing 5psi of boost from a 9psi pulley. Anyone have any idea's as to...

    powerdyne install issues

    I posted in the power adder section but no responses so I figured I'd get faster responses here. Powerdyne problems I am currently installing my powerdyne kit and have ran into a few problems. 1- the aluminum discharger tube is too long. 2- I don't have a smog pump so now my alternator has...

    car falls on face in 3rd gear

    Fourth gear in a T5 is 1:1 ratio. I would say the swap would be worth it but a supercharger install would also be worth it to. I would go with the T5. The extra ratio will help out the times but the launch will be less consistant with the T5 because of the closer gear ratio. But, you do get the...
