    People who have powdercoated front accessories come in

    I have a few questions: 1. Is it easy to take the alternator apart to coat the case? I searched and couldn't find very good info. 2. Can the water pump be coated? Does it matter that coating would get on the shaft where it meets the body? Any other input or things I should communicate to...

    AFR 165 pedestal rockers and valve cover options

    I'm fixing a blown head gasket right now and am thinking about getting some AFR 1472 (pedestal) just to ditch some weight, maybe get better head seal, and hopefully make the same power with a little lower boost. Right now I have GT40Ps with stock push rods and rockers. I'm using FRPP valve...

    Blown Head Gasket with pics

    Upon removal the HG wasn't as "blown" as I thought it would be (one cylinder and not even through metal ring). The entire passenger side gasket shows black deterioration at the top of all four cylinders. The driver’s side looks way better. Any ideas why they look so different and why the...

    New best!

    It was a near perfect day for the track and I managed a new best. First run I pretty much dropped the clutch at 3000 rpm and it bogged bad so the second run I did it at 4000 and same thing so on the third run I dropped it at 5000 and it hooked. I couldn't believe it. I've never been able to do...

    low speed fan not working

    I discovered today that I don't think my low speed fan is coming on. My tune has the set points changed. I think high is a like 194 and low I'm can't remember but I think it's like 185 or so. Here is the stupid question. Does the low speed fan typically run all the time when the car is up to...

    Finally got my turbo retuned - dyno numbers

    I finally got my car retuned and learned how much power I've had for the past 5 years. The HP is lower than I was expecting but not the torque. I found out my gauge may have been wrong for a few years. I've been thinking I'm at 15psi but it was only like 12. I would have pushed it more, but...

    valve cover breather and pcv advice

    So I have Ford racing valve covers and the breathes that come with them are pretty much worthless since they flow very little air and don't seal well at all. Im sick of oil getting on my headers. I'm think ill weld a Bing on each cover where the breather holes are but need some advice. I like...

    battery relocation question and opinions needed

    So I relocated my battery a few years ago and get crap for not having a shut off switch eveytime I go to the track. I was thinking about adding a switch this winter but when I started looking into it I found that I may have not done the relocation properly in the first place. I ran a wire...

    Bad news need some help ASAP-motor troubles

    So my buddy accidently put my car in second gear instead of fourth going about 60 or so and the tires locked up for a second and the revs shot up obviously until he quickly pushed the clutch back in. Now the motor seems to be running rough even at idle and there is also a shake to the whole...

    Turbo to 331???

    Hey everyone I haven't been posting much, but I thought I'd give an update on my car and talk about the possiblity of going NA. This July I blew a HG. I tore it down swapped both HG's and put it all back together. I had at least one spot on one HG where it was blown. So I get it all back...

    One step closer to the 10's (PICS)

    I finally got some 31 splines and associated parts along with a ds safety loop. One step closer to being able to safely run slicks. I went with strange c-clip axles and a cobra differential. Lakewood loop. I also went from 3.55's to 2.27's so I can get some more rpm in fourth. Trapping...

    I finally blew the T5!

    My T5 has sounded like a kenne Bell for a few weeks. So today I decided that if it is going to break, I might as well crank the boost up to around 16 psi and have fun while it lasts. Well I drove it all day and knew that it was only a matter of time. While taking someone for a ride a few...

    FloPro's RUNNING single turbo gts!!!

    I thought I'd start a new thread, since I've reached the point were I can drive my car, plus I don't know where the other thread went. For those who don't know the story, I got my tubo done and the first time I took it out, I came home on a flatbed. The next week I took the motor apart, put...

    I'm pissed about a circle track race!!! Gotta Vent

    Berlin Raceway in Marne MI was advertising an event called "Spectacular Drags", which consisted of drag racing two cars at a time around half of the 7/16 mile circle track. I must admit I was a little nervous, but it sound really fun and the winner could win 100 dollars and a trophy. I had...

    gt40p, TF stg.1, TF street heat done (pics)

    I just finished my gt40p install. The car drives perfect except for the fact that it won't idle yet. No bucking, missing or anything else. It wasn't responding to the throttle screw for some reason. I'm going to work on it later today. p.s. The cai is not 100% finished yet. Pics:
