    Trick Flow Top End Kit user's, please step inside

    With the AOD, it made 255 RWHP. The dyno sheet I posted was with a T5Z running through a Centerforce DF clutch. I've heard that moving up the fuel pressure does nothing because the computer only looks at the 02's and MAF under WOT, and it will adjust the pulse width on the injectors to make...

    Trick Flow Top End Kit user's, please step inside

    Plugs are gapped at .045. Camshaft was set straight up. And if you compare my dyno sheet to the one posted by Trick Flow's in the Summit catalog, the two dyno curves are identical. They both show peak HP and TQ at the same RPM. I didn't expect 310 RWHP, but I'd sure expect it to be closer...

    Trick Flow Top End Kit user's, please step inside

    Keep in mind the AFR was measured at the tail pipes, after the cat's. Not sure if the cats would affect it or not though. Timing was at 18 degree's initial. Fuel Pressure regulator is stock(it was reading 39 psi with the vacuum disconnected last I looked). Spark plugs are Autolite 3924's(I...

    Here's the latest dyno sheet. From what I've read, I should be closer to 290 to 310 RWHP range.

    Trick Flow Top End Kit user's, please step inside

    I need to have my car tuned, but there isn't anyone locally that can do it. So those of you that have had a custom chip burned, who did it? I'd love to buy a TwEECer and do it myself, but I just don't have the time for the TwEECer's steep learning curve(I'm currently working on my Commercial...

    Anyone know how many quarts the T5 holds off the top of their head?

    What fluid are YOU using in your T5?

    Thank's for the replies. Keep 'em coming. On a side note, anyone know if you can fill the trans through the shifter opening(I currently have the shifter off, and it would be a whole lot easier to fill it that way)?

    What fluid are YOU using in your T5?

    Just getting a general concensus. I've tried regular ATF, Redline D4, Redline MTL, and now I'm using Royal Purple synthetic ATF. I liked the Redline MTL the best so far. What fluid are you using in your T5? :flag:

    Need speedo drive gear help

My question's are the new FMS gear has a flat side and a side that has a little bit of a lip on it. Which side goes towards the front? My book...

    285's out back?

    I have 275's on mine with 17x9 Cobra R's and FMS "B" springs(no quad shocks). No rubbing anywhere. 285's would easily fit on mine.:shrug:

    Measuring AFR with cats?

    How much do catalytic converters affect your measured air/fuel ratio? My last dyno session with a wideband showed my AFR around 14:1 during WOT. The dyno operator said I'm probably pretty close to where I should be because my cats will show the AFR as being leaner than it really is. Any truth to...

    School me on fan clutches

    When the fluid is cold in them, like when you first start the car, they'll be engaged until the fluid warms up a little. Normal. An easy way to check, is to try and spin the fan by hand. It should spin, but not more than a turn or two when the engine is off.

    Need some tuning advise

    So here's my situation: I just got my Trick Flow top end kit all finished and it has some minor driveability issues now. So I'd like to get it tuned. However, there isn't anyone local here that can do it. There is a shop that has a dyno and a wideband O2, but they are more into Imports and...

    T5 to T45 Swap??

    The T-45 is a POS anyway. I broke two in my Cobra in less than 8K miles. I broke the 1-2 shift fork in the first one. And then Ford warrantied it and put in a brand new T-45. 8000 miles later, I broke the 3-4 shift fork in it. And yes, that was with an aftermarket shifter. I have yet to break...

    Head gasket recommendations

    I'm doing my H/C/I this week. What does everyone recommend I run for head gaskets? It's a stock shortblock with Trick Flow Twisted Wedge heads and a 125-175 shot of nitrous for good measure.:D
