    Cam gurus, or anyone with a trained eye, help me out with my cams...

    It doesn't seem like rust...its like a brown bump. Most of the black marks on the journals rubbed out with enough effort, some have a slight ridge on them that can hardly be felt with the fingernail. What really concerns me is the deep scratch on pic three, I fear that spoils the set of cams...

    Cam gurus, or anyone with a trained eye, help me out with my cams...

    This is bad right? That last one, the red arrow points to some brown blemish on the lobe. Overall, the lobes look clean except for the ones pictured in the third and fourth image. The journals of the cams however, look burnt. One cam has every journal but one marked up, the...

    How does a cams LSA affect idle?

    Bah, forgot to mention, after you subtract the LSA, multiply the number by two and that gives the degrees of overlap.

    How does a cams LSA affect idle?

    Valve overlap can be calculated by adding intake and exhaust advertised duration, dividing that by four, then subtracting the LSA. So LSA DOES play a huge role in the idle quality of a cam. Make sure you use advertised duration, not @.05"! Hope this helps. :)

    Is this the best Price?

    N/A applications don't need the adapters. Just use the NPI intake gaskets.

    lower your car 1 to 2 inches

    Thats even more ghetto than cut springs. Besides, I don't think they would work because we don't have coilovers.

    Is this the best Price?

    At that price you're not to far away from a complete headswap or a FRPP intake that will bolt right on without adapters. I wouldn't pull the trigger on that deal if I were you. That kit is really for the blower guys, are you planning on a turbo/supercharger?

    R-1/Tenzo Racing seats on Ebay

    I purchased them without the logos. I modified the stock seat mounting hardware to work with the new seats, drilling new holes in the rails as well as the "feet" of the stock brackets. The feet had to be drilled because the distance between bolt holes side to side on the bottom of the R1s...

    R-1/Tenzo Racing seats on Ebay

    No logo'd R1s. Yeah they were cheap, but they were exactly what I was looking for. Almost a year later and the wear protectors on the bolsters are showing no signs of giving up the fight.

    97BlackSteed, could you go into more detail about the new coolent line that you mentioned in your write up? How much was it and do you have a part number?

    Opinion Poll

    A Pros: More powerful. Cons: Stock block is the "fuse" in this situation (not good). B Pros: Cheaper, smoother, shock factor. Cons: Won't hit 450rwhp on stock internals, you'd have to install a bunch of new wiring (I hate wiring). That being said, if it was my car, I'd do option A...

    rear control arm

    The upper and lower control arms are in place to limit the front to back, and side to side movement of the rear axle. Here's a diagram: (Taken from http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/t_suspension.htm)

    DOHC Head options for 5.4, educate me please!!

    Well, the way I see it, you have four options: 99,01 Cobra head: Optimized for a n/a 4.6L application, it features well matched intake and exhaust ports. Navigator head: Similar to the 99,01 cobra, the intake port is visably larger to feed the additional cubes of the 5.4L. 03...

    Automatic transmission problems

    Absolutely. I also suffered at the hands of the dreaded tranny shudder, changed out the fluid, and 3k+ miles later I'm still shudder free.

    Automatic transmission problems

    In the 2+ years I've been reading stangnet, this is the most ridiculous comment I've ever witnessed.
