    GT500 Lowering Springs and Exhaust input Please!

    I have the Ford Racing Stingers as well. I was always a flow master guy. Have them on my fox but I figured I needed something different. They have a great sound but not overly obnoxious.They do drone pretty bad when you are cruising on the highway. I don't mind it until I go on a long trip,then...

    Stinky Stang

    Tune sounds good. I will start there and see how that goes. If that doesn,t help maybee I will look into cats. Can anybody back up bcam347 with the aftermarket cats with no smog pump? All I have read on here is if you run cats you need the smog pumps.

    Stinky Stang

    Ever since I purchased My 89 Notch 2 years ago it has had a rich smelling exhast smell. Had no cats when I bought it. Last year I redid the engine bay so of course I ripped out all the smog to make it look pretty. I also got rid of the EGR. While the engine was out I did gt40 heads and...

    SCT 3 bank chip

    Was wondering if anyone was running the SCT 3 bank chip? I think thats what they call it. American muscle sells it for $270 with 3 tunes. All the ratings on their site seem to be good. I have heard mixed reactions about Bama Tuning. Just wanted to get some feedback from members that are running it.

    Power Rack on UPR K Member Clerance Issues

    Just got back from the auto parts store. It looks like I got the wrong rack. Crossing my fingers. Another question. I got some poly motor mounts that dont look like they will fit unless I cut the tabs off the back of the mounts. Just wondering if anyone has run into the same problem?

    Power Rack on UPR K Member Clerance Issues

    Thanks. I will get some.Here I thought the bushings were not a big deal and the bumpsteer was a must. As you can tell this is my first time doing a Tubular K member and coil over.

    Power Rack on UPR K Member Clerance Issues

    I will go shopping for a different rack. That sounds like the easiest plan. I never had the old rack on this K frame. I just figured while I had the thing ripped apart I would replace the rack and rebuild the pump. Maybee I screwed up. Nothing I do is ever easy.

    Power Rack on UPR K Member Clerance Issues

    I lied. It is a Fenco 2.5 turn rack. Auto Zone carries a 2.25 rack. Maybee I will try that next.

    Power Rack on UPR K Member Clerance Issues

    I got the K memeber brand new in Nov. The rack I got is an advanced Auto reman. It is 2.25 turn rack. maybee I will try the 2.5 turn rack and see if that canges anything. I checked to see if offset bushings would help.No luck.

    Oil Pump Priming

    I installed a new oem oil pump and buttoned up the pan and then read that you need to prime the pump before installing. Just wondering if it will pull it with a drill primer with no oil in the pump or do I need to pull the pan off and fill the pump with oil?

    Pypes h-pipe with converters

    Equal length headers are still a shorty header like your gt40p headers so it should fit your car.Hopefully someone will back me up on this.This pipe is like $350.00 brand new so if its in good shape I think $150.00 is a good deal.

    GT40 valve job

    Well it could be more than $100.00. I really dont know what is included in a full valve job. I dont want to spend a ton of money on cast iron heads. I just wanted them to cut the seats and I was going to lapp the valves in and install the valves myself. He said he got $6.00 per seat. Maybee this...
