    Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected Mustangs

    Maybe I am missing something regarding the NOID light. I have been to the local parts stores and check the usual online places. No one that I can find has any NOID lights that connect to the fuel injector harness. Do you have a place to get them or am I wrong about them plugging into the FI...

    2001 Bullitt, vortech installation question...

    Hey everyone, I'm working on putting a vortech supercharger back on a 2001 Bullitt mustang. The supercharger itself blocks the idler pulley for the serpentine belt. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and how they got the serpentine belt on? I tried using a pry bar, and several other...

    anybody here own a G35?

    I'm the exact same way. theres a girl in my school with a black coupe and it's such a hot car (and girl too lol). Ever since I saw it I've wanted one more than any other car. I think its probably the coolest moderately priced luxury car out there. 300hp, RWD, and a 6 speed stick= awesome. too...

    mustang vs. S2000 ? 1/4 mi.

    how fast is an s2000 in the quarter mile? Ive heard bad things about NSX's in the 1/4 mile and I was wondering if s2000's are the same way. They seem fast but I was wondering if one could put up a good race against my mustang or would I get burned?

    new gears...will they affect speedometer?

    Im doing a ton of rear end work on my car (3.73 gears, install kit, trac.-lok rebuild kit). I havent changed the speedometer gear yet. Will the gears throw off my speedometer calibration? If yes, how will it read? Will the MPH on the gauge be higher or lower than it actually is, and by how much...

    where can I find nice door sill plates?

    Hey I'm looking for some nice billet door sill plates for an 87 gt vert. So far I've only seen them for sale from UPR products but I've heard bad things about them so I'd rather order them from someplace else. I even checked ebay and couldnt find anything (I'd rather not get them from ebay...

    Dragstrip newbie

    well its a convertible so it's pretty heavy. Plus I've still got the stock gears and I probably suck at driving haha. But I think realistically I'll probably be in the low 15's. Anyone know how strict the tech inspections are at these things? I dont want to drive 2 hours and find out my car's...

    ported stock heads with speed density?

    alright I'm wondering if i could port my stock cylinder heads a little bit without converting to mass air and still run ok. I could probably get a good deal on the porting job from my boss but I don't want my car to run like garbage. It already has a trick flow street intake so i dont want to...

    swap meet score! now what?

    I picked up a kenny brown strut tower brace at a drag race yesterday for $10. It didn't come with instructions though so I have a few questions. Is there anything I should watch out for when I drill the holes? How to I get the nuts onto the bolts in the firewall? I'm not sure how to get access...

    anyone know about valve lapping?

    i work in a race engine shop and we usually lap the valves on new sets of heads because most heads "out of the box" don't have a good valve job. Some companies like AFR and a few others are good. A good valve cut will have an even appearance all around the valve seat. Bad cuts are "shadowy"...

    Full length sub frames on a convertible question

    a lot of people take the reinforcing plates off once they get subframe connectors. I just cut about an inch or so off of them and welded the plates to the side of my subframe connectors on the front, and took the back ones off. i have the connectors from maximum motorsports though, not steeda...

    BBK LT's Chrome vs Ceramic

    I bought the BBK unequal length headers this winter. when i got them, two bolts were crooked, had to have summit send out a package of ARP's to replace the ones BBK sent. After they were installed, i put 300 miles on the car and both gaskets blew out and started leaking like crazy. This is not...
