    Update on my 5.0L :)

    Well, since I last posted.. I have taken out the motor, had it cleaned, honed to 306 cu at a machine shop and pretty much 50-60% done rebuiilding the motor to how I like. I've pretty much decided on my intake, which is going to be Holley Systemax II or a Edelbrock RPM Performer II, both seem to...

    5.0L V8 vs Rx-8?

    All I wanted to know if it would go FASTER.. lol My friend just thinks its faster overall, I don't think hes too smart however... the 5.0L weighs roughly the same as a RX-8, has more torque stock, less horsepower obviously.. I wouldn't doubt 1/4 mile times would be faster, I believe he...

    5.0L V8 vs Rx-8?

    I'd like to know who'd beat each other OFF the line... I know the RX-8 has 280horses roughly and like 168 torque haha.

    NOT a question about BEST EXHAUST

    I've been looking around, and like someone said.. best exhaust is really your own preference. I've chosen Magnaflow, seems to be the best choice for me at least.. I've chosen their cat-back exhaust system, but I'm left with headers/muffler decision. I think I'm going to go all magnaflow...

    My '88 LX a complete redo?

    I've already put aside roughly $50.00 for new underwear.. so I should be good on the pants wetting scenario... I agree, maybe forged internals isn't the exact way to go for now. I will shoot for intake, exhaust, heads, headers, cams.. uhhh and I'm pretty sure I'm missing something. Thanks...

    GUESS WHO *******S

    umm 408 is a member, and mob is another one... i dunno how often you participate on the forums, but SN95 302 has been talking crap throughout the forums... perhaps use your brain before passing such quick judgment?

    My '88 LX a complete redo?

    Thanks for the comments, I'm relatively good with cars.. but I'm embarassed to say I am rather stupid when it comes to some basic terms.. Well, $3-4k is definitely what I'm going for right now.. I can't exactly remember what a stroker kit does, something about being able to fit more...

    Calling all AOD guys, Shift Points??

    I've got some ideas for your unbreakable trannies :P 1. Put it in D and drive it to around 45-60mph and then pop it into reverse a couple times... 2. Put it into 1st gear and just rev the **** out of the engine, then pop it into reverse.. That should fix your unbreakable problem quite...

    My '88 LX a complete redo?

    I love my car, I came from an '92 Toyota Tercel [lol my dads] to a '88 LX 5.0L V8.. I just love it.. and trust me.. I scare myself sometimes with the power. Basically, I want more power.. I want to get at least into the 300 horsepower range for the first phase of my complete restoration...
