    What's the difference between blower cams and n/a cams?

    Just a general note to answer the original question: Blower cams typically have lower overlap to reduce the amount of raw fuel mixture being pushed out through the open exhaust valve by the pressurized intake charge during the intake stroke. They usually compensate for the resulting lower...

    Maybe he's from the Great White North and the price and budget are in Canadian $'s?

    After market seats

    A little over $1200 for the pair after brackets, sliders, and shipping. These were pretty much the basic configuration for this seat, though-- they have leather available, internal heating and cooling packages, and other options for really big bucks if you want to pay more. It was also a group...

    After market seats

    Recaros Recaros, purchased from On-Track Performance in a group purchase here two years ago. These are the "Style" model in Black Cloth with Black "Artista" cloth contrasting panels. They aren't quite all-out racing buckets but have deep, adjustable bolsters and hold you in very securely...

    Price check on Recaros and Accufab?

    One Recaro Dealer I got my Recaros through a group purchase here at Stangnet a couple years ago now. The vendor was On-Track Performance Solutions (http://www.recaro-seats.com/) The price seemed fair at the group purchase rate, and the seats came delivered with all the correct adapters...

    Yes on both counts. I'm 6'5" tall and about 280lbs, and they work for me. I do usually have the side bolsters most of the way out, at nearly the widest possible setting. Legroom is much improved. I couldn't get my knees under the steering wheel comfortably with the stock seat, but with the...

    Recaros in My GT I couldn't stand the stock GT seats, so I replaced them with these Recaros. I have to say it's a night and day difference, from pure crap to near perfection. They were a bit pricey, I'd do it again in an instant. These are the "Style" model from Recaro, in Black Artista...

    Hot Rod /Motor Trend Threads In here

    Why all this whining about the lack of a 6 speed? It doesn't matter one jot with a fat flat torque curve. 5 gears forward is plenty for any car with more than 500 rpms of powerband to work with. An RSX might need it, a V-8 powered car should not. In fact 4 works pretty well, too. I've had...

    ATI vs. KB

    There is a vacuum-operated bypass valve that only closes when the vacuum approaches 0. When open, no air is pressurized by the supercharger and there are minimal pumping losses. When you open the throttle, the manifold vacuum goes to 0 and the bypass closes. Then the supercharger begins to...

    Definitely a panhard bar in the rear suspension according to that spec sheet. Finally some lateral axle location!

    need info on a eaon supercharger

    What we really need now is a manifold for the GT's that will use the '03 Cobra blower. That's the key part that is missing. With the wide availability of that Eaton supercharger from Ford or junkyards or people who have swapped them out for other blowers, it seems like a great way to boost a...
