    A3m Ecu

    Just bought a 89 GT motor complete (stock) and took the wiring harness and computer. My last car had the A9L ECU, this car had the A3M. I'm curious what is the difference between the two? My current car is giving a code that basically says the ECU is smoked and I was going to swap this into...

    Back In The Saddle Again!!

    It's been four stangless years until now! Just picked up a 93 notch (was on my list of must own cars). Given how clean it is, I could overlook the porno red interior (can be changed). I liken it to sitting in your favorite recliner at home..........sitting behind the wheel feels like being...

    Chassis Dyno #'s-vs- Track #'s

    I'm very curious about my chassis dyno #'s. I'm having an awfull hard time believing them. I had my 418 dynoed on an engine dyno, and once in the car on the chassis dyno, #'s in sig. My track times however tell a different story. Going by weight to mph the car had to be making somewhere...

    Track Times (finally)!!!!

    Finally made it to the track. Never let the car cool, right from the 70 mile trip, through tech and into the lanes, passes were 8 minutes apart. First pass I was nervous as hell, first time at the track with this combo, missed 2nd and hit the rev-limiter every shift but was impressed with the...

    After all the roadblocks and a little heartache the car is running again. After the starter cooked I was very irritated but took the car apart again. Now with a new hi-tourqe starter, one gauge wire upgrades, and a new dry cell battery I took it out again. It was running rough, pulled the...
