    Man its been a while since I have posted and all has been well with the 5.0 until now. About a year ago I chased down a misfire that ended up being a bad pickup in the distribuator. At the time I replaced plugs, cap and rotor, wires, coil, new distributor and put heat boots on the plug...

    What Supercharger or Turbo for 94-95 GT

    I saw a ford racing FRPP Supercharger 6# satin (M-6066-B50) for the 94-95 but it says it can not be used on the convertible. None of the other brands say NOT for a convertible. Whats the difference between a vert and a hardtop up front?

    What Supercharger or Turbo for 94-95 GT

    I am ready to take it to the next level and add a supercharger or turbo. I wanted to do the junkyard turbo but it is to much of a PITA on a SN95. What is the cheapest supercharger/turbo for 94-95? I know they have limits with the hyper pistons as well. How much boost can I get away...

    equal length short headers or long?

    I did the equal length shortys with x-pipe and flows all at the same time. All of my power is now at 3000-5500. Now its like riding my 2stroke 250 dirtbike(power is on or off). I got those plug boot condoms to keep the wires from burning up. I will have to say the car sounds unreal with...

    2 stupid gauge questions...

    The test light thing that HISSIN50 suggests on each fuse might be the way to do it. Both vac/boost and fuel pressure gauges are electric. The vac/boost gauge uses a map sensor(looks like a GM one) with a sample tube that you T into a vacum line. The fuel pressuge gauge has a sensor that...

    Should I gut my stock MAF?

    I have read so many posts about gutting the stock MAF. The posts are both good and bad. I, like all, am looking to free some power up. I have done all the exhaust work and want to start on the intake side. I am not pinging yet and really don't want to. All the posts I have seen argue...

    Bearing retainer question???

    I have a 94-05 gt and just got a new T5 for it. The input shaft bearing retainer on the new T5 is a little different. My old one and the new one are the same length meaning the retainer stops at the same point as the old one and the input shaft has the same length as the old one. But the new...

    Where can I get a NEW 95-94 T5

    I have been looking all over for a new T5 for my 94-95 GT Vert. I can not find one anywhere. I see lots of NEW 87-93 T5's for $1,100 but no 94-95's. I wasted my mainshaft, 1st and 2nd gears. After I got the prices on mainshaft, gears and a syncro/rebuild/bearing kit I am just better off...
