    Bored at work yesterday...

    So I decided to create a turbocharger calculator. Unfortunately, I can't get to any google docs or the like to link the excel file to you (stupid websense), but I have a screenshot and will be doing exactly as stated above once I get home from work today. It all started as me doing...

    Nitrous oxide questions

    All right, so I've decided to go the cheap way for all that extra horsepower. Basically my car has a good amount of miles on it, has no resale value, and right now I just want to run it with a crapload of power until the motor detonates or I get some real cash, in either case prompting me to get...

    Ricey or no?

    My mustang, over the years, has come in contact with some unfortunate bumps and bruises and it's about that time to replace the hood and bumpers, with a complete repaint. I was looking at a few different options to make her stand out, but unfortunately most body kits out there for mustangs are...

    Idle problem

    My car idles all funky-like. I've cleaned the IAC up, and due to recent info I've found, it can't be anything getting clogged in the IAC anyways (or EGR, or any vacuum line for that matter) as it's a repeating, exact pattern as shown in my lovely picture. Also noted is my bank 1 upstream O2...

    Head gasket? MAF? Need some Mustang tech help :)

    So I've been having this problem for a while with cold starts... My vehicle is in a garage usually, however about 3 weeks ago I left it in a parking lot. (cold temperatures... Michigan) The next morning when I started it, the car idled immediately at ~500 RPM, no throttle response, and seeming...

    Seafoam issues...

    This may sound silly, but I can never get the seafoam to burn copious amounts of smoke.. I put 1/3rd of the can into the crankcase, 1/3rd in the fuel tank and 1/3rd through the PCV valve, disconnecting the PCV valve and letting it run into the intake, while the car is on and idling with a...

    Conv Top Install

    How hard is it to install a convertible top on a '99 Mustang? I figure I need a new one and I found some good ones for around 300 bucks... a hair amount less than the 1 grand the shops want around here to install a new one... I've got a Haynes manual, but haven't looked quite yet at how to put...

    Car dies sometimes when idling.

    It's not every single time, but about once every day or two, when I downshift into second and come to a stop, the tac just keeps on going down and the car stalls. I've also, sice getting the car, slways seen it go to 750 RPMs, then jump to 1k, then go back to 750 when idling, just keep tossing...

    How much PSI?

    If I were to acquire a forged stroker kit, upgraded heads, and stage 2 VT cams, possibly some suspension... how much PSI could I safely run with a KB intercooled?

    Rattling driving me CRAZY

    Alright so I just installed my new beautiful MAC H-pipe 2 days ago, and yesterday I hear this rattling.... it's a very high-pitched and fast rattle, like a thin piece of metal, maybe some sort of flange... and it's coming from around the starter. I plan to take a flashlight to it while someones...

    Loud humming when turning right...

    T'is what I hear, and it kind of squeaks (not the tires) when I turn going ~5mph... Power steering pump? Time for fluid change? Also I have a friend with an SVT Focus and when he floors it and shifts (any gear) it feels as if theres power but it's being retarded by something... it'll...

    Thinking about a Ford 347 smallblock swap...

    I've got a '99 GT. I figure I dont want a supercharger, as my car's got some good miles on it and I'm afraid it might detonate... plus I'd be starting with 0 miles on a crate. And I can get a Turnkey 347 stroker smallblock for around $3600, question is would the install utterly kill me and want...
