    Blowing fuses... need serious help!

    My 98 GT decided not to start one day. I brought it to the dealer who said it was the security system. They got it out of theft mode and it still wouldn't start. Then they said it was the fuel pump, so I swapped this out myself to save over $400. The car's still blowing a 20 amp fuse located in...

    C-springs installed (pic)

    I got my C-springs installed - what an improvement over stock! Here's a pic of the finished product. They ride really nice. I was afraid they would be too stiff, but they're not at all.

    Which cam for this combo?

    Help me decide on a cam. I just put a deposit on a 306 long block. Which cam will work best with Performer RPM heads? No emissions testing in FL, so I'm not concerned with it being 'street legal'. So far the E-cam and the Trick Flow Stage 1 has been recommended. Which cam would you guys use? I'm...

    I thought I had 3.73's... maybe I don't?

    I went out yesterday to confirm my gear ratio using my new C2 tach and one of those signs along the road that tells you how fast you're driving. I don't have a speedo right now, it's at Brother's Performance being calibrated for my new 140mph face. Anyway, I was told my car has 3.73's, but after...

    Help me decide on cam, TB, intake, injectors

    I'm looking at a new 306 w/ Performer RPM heads. I'm also going to get either a Novi 1000, or 2000. I'm needing help picking out some parts. Throttle body... 65mm, or 70mm? Which cam would work best with these heads? What size injectors... 24lb, or 30lb? Would I be better off matching these...

    Rebuild and a blower?

    I was thinking about getting a new motor (331 Stroker), but it's just too much money. So, instead I'm thinking of having my 302 rebuilt w/ forged pistons and adding a blower... maybe a Novi 2000. What do you guys think... is this a good idea?

    Draglites flexing/making noise?

    Anyone ever heard of this before? I have an annoying tick coming from one of my wheels. Two different people have told me it's the Weld wheel. They said it's a two piece wheel, so it flexes, thus making the annoying tick. Is this true?

    Buying throttle body - what all do I need?

    I'm looking at either the Edelbrock, or Ford Racing 65mm TB. Are there any other parts I need to make the swap besides a 67mm EGR spacer? Thanks!

    Removed quad-shocks, hearing a knocking sound.

    I removed my quad shocks 3 weeks ago, now I'm hearing a knocking sound coming from the driver side rear tire. I only hear the noise when weight is applied to that side of the car (turning right, additional passengers), or when I hit a dip/bump in the road. I had my wife and brother in the car...
