    4.10 GEARS

    Just to take this a little further. Most shops that specialize in this kind of work obviousely have mechanics that dont do anything else and they may rebuild 20 a week. Now if you go to a ford dealership most of the guys in there maybe do 10 a month. Also it is usually half the labor cost as...

    4.10 GEARS

    Find a shop that specializes in rear ends and trannys. It will probably be half that or less.

    Puzzling transmission noise

    I had the same noise right up until the ToB grenaded. What happened on mine was when I replaced the clutch I bent the little spring retainer that holds the fork on the ball stud. It came loose and allowed the fork to ride just on the edge of the ball. The ToB was hitting the fingers of the...

    Dog bone

    Its the piece of rubber that extends from the stock airbox into the fender. I dont think you get much power out of it but it sounds better.

    Looking at timing with a DiabloSport Predator

    Mike wesley wrote in an article that he found a tenth or two. It will make a difference but to what degree I am not sure because personally I havent raced an auto mustang. IMO I think it is one of those things that by itself wont make a huge difference but if you couple that into a package it...

    Looking at timing with a DiabloSport Predator

    The reason the timing drops on the shifts is because with the fox body cars they had a ton of transmissions getting replaced under warranty so ford decided to incorporate a way to reduce the torque when it shifts. I think it was in 94 when they started retarding the timing during shifts.

    h/p gain

    There is no power gain but there will be a minute ET gain since the power isnt wasted in the motor turning in the mounts instead it will put more into the drivetrain.

    pi heads swap vs S/C

    If you can afford race gas high compression and forced induction go hand in hand to a point. Last winter I did the headswap and this spring I will be sporting VT stage ones and a 150 wet shot and of course a good tune. Its up to your wallet really. The initial cost of nitrous is cheaper but...

    easiest way to pull motor

    It takes me about 1.5-2 hrs to pull the motor and tranny. If you have an air compressor it makes life much much easier. This is the order I did mine in. 1. Drain the coolant and tranny fluid & unhook the battery. 2. Take the H-pipe out and remove the tranny crossmember and driveshaft and put...

    Is it safe for a Donut?

    You could do it and be fine. There are alot of cars running VW beetle tires as skinnys and run 130+. Passing tech at a good track wont be possible and running a mini spare as a race tire is just about as ricer as ricer gets. Buy some draglites or prostars if you have to run skinnys up front.

    Sugar/coke in gas tank will damage engine. Fact or Myth?

    Besides the fact that it wouldnt get very far in the system sugar doesnt dissolve in gasoline.

    Ram-Air

    Ram air on a car is not possible. You can put a scoop in the air to TRY to RAM air into the motor but it is not possible to compress air into a motor simply by driving through it.
