    First time at track

    thats what I thought too. I wasn't happy with my 60ft times or the track prep at speedworld. I either spun or bogged almost everytime off the line. The 13.9 pass wasn't a bad launch but it definatly wasn't the best I could do. I felt I hooked up better on the street than the track. I think...

    First time at track

    Last night I drove the 200 miles to go run my car at speedworld near Phoenix, AZ. Directly after the drive I ran about 8 hot laps because I got there late and only had about an hour to race. Luckily there were not very many people there. It was about 95 degrees with 15% relitive humidity and...

    Air conditioning problems

    I just finished my PI swap a couple days ago and my AC hasn't worked since. I did some wire chasing under the hood. I chased the compressor wires to the engine harness disconnect. So after that I figured that it was low on coolant after being moved around a bunch (not disconnected). So I went to...

    Looking to sell my 90foxbody for an 99-04gt.. have some ?'s

    I was in your kind of situation about 6 months ago. I had worked on push rod engines a lot. I found a really good deal on a 96 GT and bought it. Later I found out that I could get about 50hp out of a PI swap. Like you I was intimidated to tear apart an OHC engine. And then if you don't get...

    POWER shifting

    First of all if you search for power shifting you'll come up with a lot of results with this same question. Just to answer your question power shifting is shifting without lifting your foot off the gas pedal.

    Pulled my engine this weekend

    Ya, its really tight in the engine compartment. I couldn't imagine doing a head swap with the engine in. Plus I'm doing a clutch at the same time. So does anybody know any more answers to any of my questions. :shrug:

    Pulled my engine this weekend

    I'm in the process of a P&P PI swap. I got the engine out on Saturday and put the new heads/cams in on Sunday. I lined everything up according to the "timing a 4.6". I turned the engine over by hand and everything fells right. I plan on dropping the engine back in next weekend. I've got a...

    Did 96 GT's and up have standard keyless entry?

    So what is the easiest way to convert a '96 GT to a keyless entry? Is putting an aftermarket alarm the easiest route?

    How important is tire rotation?

    Ya, it just evens out the wear of the front and rear tires so when it comes time to buy tires all 4 are worn out instead of the rears going bald before the fronts. I don't rotate my tires just for the fact that I don't like spending the money to buy 4 new tires at once. I just buy 2 tires at a...

    help me get around 300-350 hp

    You've also got to consider the base cost of a Z28 vs a '98 mustang GT. Take the extra money you would have spent on a Z28 and do a PI swap and some nitrous and watch the LS1 owners scratch their heads. :nice:

    I bet u don't know....

    Gears would be my guess. And yes the wining doesn't always start right after the gear install. What brand gears did you get? I've heard that everything exept the ford gears will wine. Other things to check - check to make sure the wheels are on tight - E-brake cable (maybe jammed or...

    4.6 Cams

    There are a couple articles around here about cam installs if you search for "cams". Cams are definetly worth the money, especially if you install them yourself. For $700 you can get some VT stage 2's and new valve springs and probably get about 25 to 30 horsepower out of it depending on what...

    a few ?'s on 97 Cobra's

    Wow, I just did a quick search on autotrader in my area and '96 to '98 cobras are really expensive. That sounds like a fair price. The cheapest one I found was 9k with 100k miles on it.

    a few ?'s on 97 Cobra's

    dealerships are always negotiable, even if its one of those "fair priced, no haggling" dealerships. I'd make an offer and look around at autotrader.com. Do some research on the average price of the car.

    valve springs

    You can leave them on but you need to find a way to keep the valves from falling into the cyliders when you take the keepers off. You can use an air compressor and pressurize the cylider you can buy a fitting that screws into the sparkplug hole, or put each piston at TDC before changing each...
