I've seen too many stupid guys do the mounting and balancing at the tire shops here. If it isn't a wheel/tire from a regular car, they don't know what to do. I worry about them damaging the rims. I had the same problems when I ran big tires on my lifted Jeep.

When I got the price quote from Summit yesterday, the guy said they could mount & balance the fronts (skinnies) but not the back tires. He said they can't do it because MT recommends tubes with ET Streets and I wasn't buying tubes. I don't want tubes. I know plenty of guys with ET's and no...

Is there any other good mail-order place besides Summit or Jeg's that sells that stuff?

Clean out your PM's por favor.

Bump. I've been wondering the exact same thing. My longtube swap is about 2-3 months off though.

Got my Romac balancer from Ed Curtis. Seems to be perfect for my mild 331.

Damn this guy. I thought he was long gone. And WTF is wrong with eBay. I sent them an email or two saying how much of a fraud this guy was...and I'm sure I wasn't the only person to do so. Why are they still letting him lie about his POS car???

:D Of course I'm not offended. I put the air freshener thing in my sig for a laugh. I always figured since everyone was so serious about the mods in their sigs, that maybe I should lighten mine up a bit. BTW strawberry made the car ping a little bit, so I switched back to vanilla and it...

What psi should I run for the street? I'm not super concerned about the best launch or whatnot. I just want a good air pressure for the street that will help these tires last as long as possible. Thanks!

There is a dude in town with an 87-93 with a toploader. I have no idea how or why he did it though. Just know that it's possible and been done before.

Yep. I used to have a '73 fullsize Blazer with an SM465 4-speed...with the granny gear. I have a steel plate and a bunch of screws in my left ankle, so when I got tired of using the clutch, I just wouldn't. Always amazed my friends.

It depends what you've done to the rest of your car...how much power you're laying down. If you're not that fast yet, put that $150 in the motor. The choice was easy for me. The next time I go to the track, I'm launching in 1st gear on nitrous...and it's a 331. I need a good rear suspension...

They aren't necessary, but it's easier to do both at the same time. Lose cornering performance with better control arms? I wouldn't worry about that. Just get the street bushings and not the spherical race ones. They're easy to put in...the old ones are a bitch to get out. :D

I wish Courtney would just hurry up and pose in Playboy or Maxim or my bedroom. She makes all the naughty thoughts happen. Err...so uh that K-member looks pretty good too.

It is a very long and horrible story concerning my 5.0 for the last 9 months. Here is the short version that pertains to my questions: The mechanic friend of mine who was to do a H/C/I swap on my car bolted everything on and started the car...WITHOUT cleaning the upper intake...which had been...

I think my situation is very close to yours. I consider myself to be a real good friend of this guy...not just "this dude I work with." We hang out outside of work, go to the dragstrip, etc. He hooks up a lot of his friends for free or next to nothing. I told him when I dropped my car off...

My Mustang is over at one of my friend's garages right now. He agreed to do some work on it...some stuff that I either didn't have the tools to do, or didn't know how to do. He's a fulltime mechanic and does top notch work...also a diehard Mustang guy. He's cool as crap about it too...which...

I didn't even realize something like that was available. Sounds like a good compromise. What companies make the step longtube like you mention?

Current combo includes Edelbrock intake, FTI cam, AFR 165 heads, etc. With Mac 1 5/8 shorties, offroad H-pipe and 2.5 inch exhaust all the way back(Terminator mufflers). Are those headers choking my motor? Would it be beneficial to move up to 1 3/4 tube headers or even long tubes? I also...
