    2011 Connecting Rods

    Did anyone else read in 5.0 magazine where the Ford Engineers told the author of the article that the 5.0 wouldn't be able to handle forced induction due to the connecting rods? It said that basically they were strong enough to handle the power it had, but any sort of major increase and they...

    How TiVCT works

    That video was awesome. I already passed it around the office to all the car guys. :D I'm an engineer, so ingenuity like that makes me want to cream in my pants.

    Hurst Billet Shifter - Latest edition

    I have loved mine other than this buzzing. Hardly worth the difference to me since I only paid $100 for the Hurst Billet. :shrug:

    Suspension Making Scary Sounds... HELP!

    I know I have read people say that the UCA brace causes a squeaking noise because the holes for the bolts are too big.

    Watts Link or Rear Sway/UCA?

    Like I said, that is the way i was leaning. If I go watts link, I will be waiting until J&M comes out with theirs. They are in their second revision of their prototype according to the guy I talked to and hope to have it out some time in the spring I believe. Do you have a link to the bushings?

    Watts Link or Rear Sway/UCA?

    I am going to have a little bit of money after x-mas to play around with and I would really like to tighten up the rear end of my car. You can see my current mods in my sig and I love what the koni's in the rear have done in terms of tightness, but I still feel like it jerks away under hard...

    On a budget... Unfortunately

    I thought the general consensus was that most of our cars could handle around 430-450rwhp without altering much else? Any power over that may be a different story, but I know that there are a lot of people running those numbers on otherwise stock cars. Seems that is the power level that a lot...

    Metal Rattling Sound

    Honestly I did the foam route because it was $2 and for me in the long run, I trust a piece of foam more than I do the dealership removing, replacing a part and replacing the transmission which I think they had down for 5-6 hours of labor. Why risk it? There isn't anything wrong, it just...

    Mustang gt 4.6l supercharged

    You need to either have the thing dyno tuned or at the very least have one of the reputable tuners create you a tune that is specific for your supercharger. Brenspeed, Bamachips, etc. How did you buy a supercharger and install it without knowing what you needed for the computer?

    Tighten factory hood.

    I believe the stops are the only thing you can do outside of the pins. Within reason of course.

    Hurst Billet Shifter - Latest edition

    That just doesn't sound right man. I haven't replaced the tranny oil in mine and I don't have that issue at all either.

    time to replace the stock shocks

    Been there, done that. When I took my strut mounts to replace them, the one was completely split in half and all the little bearings fell out. I am thinking it might not have been designed to work like that.

    Anyone out there with a C/S?

    Most of the custom tuners can turn off the O2 sensors if you remove the cats. Brenspeed, Bamachips, VMP Tuning, etc...

    Bent a wheel, need help finding replacement

    Yeah, I call a couple of places locally to ask if they repaired rims and they all told me that it was impossible even though I know someone that has had it done. I am going to try to make some more calls today about it to see what can be done. This is one of those bad things about not living...

    I have the GT500 takeoffs and hit a pothole the other day coming around a curve when I guy was over the line and I had to swerve. So now I need a replacement. Anyone have any suggestions where the best place is to get just 1? Thanks
