Changing the fluid will help, but the only thing that really fixed this problem for me was an aftermarket clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster. Had problems with my '03 (even grenaded a tranny!) until I put a Steeda quadrant and adjuster in it. I tried changing the fluid first, but it didn't...

Not fishy, just a strong runner. I'm sure there is a little difference between different dynos, but my ex-'03 Cobra made 421 rwhp SAE with nothing more than a Bassani catback off a '99 Cobra and a UPR CAI. Besides some dynos being more optimistic than others, some cars just seem to run better. I...

Edelbrock makes a Performer intake specifically for 5.0L EFI trucks. :flag:

Yeah, I would just do a head swap on your car to the '99+ (PI) heads. They will actually raise your compression quite a bit. I remember an article where they did this and made more power with a '96-'98 GT with just the head swap than a stock '99+ GT because '99+s have lower compression pistons...

I'm running 10 psi with a Procharger D1SC (intercooled) on a 10:1 motor. We originally set the car up for spray but switched it to the blower. 534 rwhp with a RICH tune. :nice: I would say you could easily run 6 psi without an intercooler with a safe tune. You could always buy the base Vortech...

I've got 17x9" Cobra Rs on my '92 with 275/40R17 Nittos all the way around and they fit just fine. There is a VERY slight rub on the inside sidewall of the front tires at full steering lock (nothing to even worry about). You may have slight issues with the rears. Mine rub a little bit on the...

It's probably just the antenna. Driving by a radio station won't help you pick up the signal because generally radio stations send a signal to a transmitter site miles away that amplifies the signal over a broader range. Check to make sure that your antenna is connected first. If it is, then...

You could do a Lentech AOD. I have one in my '89 LX coupe and I'm pretty happy with it. My car made 534 rwhp and it's held up really well. I ordered mine with the full manual valvebody, overdrive, and transbrake. It actually had the automatic valvebody at first, but we encountered a few problems...

I bought a '79 Bronco a couple of months ago and it came with glasspacks (surprise, surprise). I've always hated the sound and I think it's embarassing to drive. When you buy cheap mufflers, that's what you get. Cheap mufflers. They are LOUD and do nothing but kackle and pop. To me glasspacks...

:shrug: I couldn't believe the numbers myself when we first dynoed it with the blower. My compression is probably higher than your friend's car and my Procharger is intercooled. Other than that I don't know why there's such a big difference. I wish I had the cam specs handy because it...

500 rwhp should be fairly easy with a blown 331. My '89 Coupe has the following: -Stock block bored .030 (306 ci) -Forged steel crank -Stock rods -Forged flat top pistons (about 10:1, originally the car was set up for nitrous) -Out-of-the-box TFS Twisted Wedge heads -Really mild custom...

What did you torque the intake bolts to? I have one on my '89 Coupe and have experienced no problems. From what I understand it is one of the best street/strip intakes on the market...

Same problem here. After my X-pipe and header install my MAC catback was rubbing on the inside of the rear tires. Well, I put it on a lift and carefully adjusted everything until I had about 2" of clearance from the tires and spent quite a bit of time lining the tailpipes up. I was all proud of...

I have BBK equal lengths on my '92 convertible. They were a little bit of a pain to squeeze in, but it wasn't too bad. The instructions mentioned that I may have to lift the passenger side of the motor, but I got away without doing so. It may vary from car to car. Most aftermarket headers come...

I too was debating this in my head for the longest time. I think I've decided I'm going to do an S-Trim because it is tried and true and $1k cheaper. I was leaning towards the KB for a while because I have yet to see another one in my area, but I wasn't too impressed with Kenne Bell's technical...

Awesome :nice: . The transbrake stopped working at one point, but they sent me a whole new valve body and solenoid and everything under warranty. Also, if the tranny gets hot enough it won't shift into overdrive. Other than that I don't really have any complaints. Last time we dynoed the car it...

Josh, Did the miss happen right after you installed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, or has it always been there?

If I were you I'd either run the 255/50R15s or the 235/60R15s. With a 275 on a 7" rim you will probably get less of a contact patch than with a 235.

I run 17x9s with 275/40R17s all the way around on my '92 LX Vert. One of the fronts (the driver's side I think, I can't remember) rubs ever so slightly at full lock. I'm running OE Concepts Cobra Rs and Nitto 555 tires. Nittos are smaller than most other brands in the same size, so a different...

'89 is probably considered the 'best' year because it was the first year for mass air and airbags weren't introduced until '90 (therefore '89s are a tad bit lighter and they have tilt steering wheels). LX 5.0 coupes are the strongest and lightest, GT convertibles are the heaviest. Automatics are...
