    Trouble shooting a 5.0 stroked engine

    I have a project kit car that I am using the drive train from a 92 Mustang 5.0. Engine has been stroker to 347. I used a wiring harness diet that eliminates all the unused components such as AC, EGR, Smog etc. This is still on the stock A9L computer. Been told car should run fine and also...

    Reprogram the 5.0 computer

    Yeah I need to do that because after looking @ C&L site it depends on the mm size whether tube matches. Might be as simple as that. If it mathes correctly then I will go from there.

    Reprogram the 5.0 computer

    I bought the C&L MAF & Ford 30# injectors from same person that was to have been matched and on same car. If I remember right the air meter in the C&L is a violet color. About the color of this smiley. :(

    Reprogram the 5.0 computer

    I have a kit car that I used a 92 Mustang 5.0 drivetrain. I eliminated all the polution stuff. I had it stroked to a 347, 30# injectors, larger cam, etc. I have the stock tune and it runs but very rich. Is there a way to send in the computer and have it reflashed with a mild tune to run on...

    351 cam in a 347 stroker.

    If I did not have this one already in hand, but trying to use this one. Edited: Edelbrock just sent me a correction email saying the comment about using a 351 dizzy was wrong and to use the 302.

    351 cam in a 347 stroker.

    I am planning on running this cam in a 347 stroker for a Cobra kit car. It specifies a 351W but I have read cams will interchange without problems. I am concerned about the distributor. Mallory stated the gears were the same size but Edelbrock told me I needed to run a 351W dizzy. But the...

    Traction Control button reset??

    Let me give you the background for my question. I have a co-worker that has an AWD Audi TT that was claiming on red light to red light he was beating a Z06. His car is stock and mainly claiming because of his AWD he was getting better traction. So he claimed he could beat me also. My 07 GT...

    Zoomer Axle Backs.. Anyone use?

    These look and sound a lot like Corsa's but a little cheaper. Anyone ever use them? They seem to sound a little quieter than Corsa with lower tone. I compared to the Corsa website sound clips. http://www.zoomersexhaust.com/vehicle_ford_gt.asp If you have seen or used please comment.

    Disappointed with new California Special

    Where did you get 3-4k more? The package is only 1895 which includes the 18" polished wheels. Take that out of the price and you paid 1k for the interior and front and rear fascia. Sure some dealers are trying to make people pay more for a limited run but there are a lot that are not. I paid...

    Went to track today! timeslips inside!

    Maybe when he looked down it had already slowed down a little or maybe he just told me an estimate. What is the rpm's of the car at that speed? And what gears are you running? Also if you have a tune it might have reprogrammed the stock limiter?

    Went to track today! timeslips inside!

    So concensus is to stay with third? What about the stock rev limiter. It hits around 100 in third doesn't it? I have not hit it myself but my brother said mine (when I let him drive it) hit 100 when the limiter shut the engine down.
