    Homemade oil cooler

    Oil temps:shrug: Don't have gauge. But my oil gets dirty reeeaaaal quick in the summer, plus I spent a lot of time in traffic, I figured summertime temps hovering around 100F it wouldn't be a bad idea. I got a Hayden sandwich plate adapter that has a bimetallic spring, for thermostatic control...

    Does tire size effect gears?

    Man you people must work for tire stores of manufacturers!:D The first gear on a 3:73 car is waaaaaay too short for daily drivers, and that's with my T5-Z, which has higher(or is it lower:D Micheal?) 2.95 first gear, it still pretty much strips the thread of the tires on any spirited take off...

    Engine Tech: How to improve efficiency?

    MYount coming strong :hail2: . Good info on the direct injection and HCCI. What about the BMW "infinitely variable intake length or something?" Is it true and if so how come nobody made a polymer (plastic) intake with variable intake length runners for Mustangs??? There may be a few lb-ft of...

    Engine Tech: How to improve efficiency?

    Yeah, but diesels run out of steam at like 1500 rpm, :D w/o turbos they are nothing..........How about direct gasoline injection, infinitely variable valve timing and intake manifold length a la BMW 7 series?

    What intake is this?

    hmmmmm, if the price is right I may try the upper for a little more topend

    What intake is this?

    Not to hijack the thread, yes it is indeed Professional Products Typhoon Intake, rpm range 1500-6500, knockoff of Eddie. Will this upper fit Edelbrock Performer lower? Who sells these the cheapest?

    T5 Fluid

    WTF, dude? :shrug: . Now I call :bs: , the only thing AOD is good for is dead lift competition, I got a serious back strain and a possible hernia from moving that chunk of iron around. Unless of course, you are kidding, aren't you? :p PS: My tranny shifts somewhat hard, much harded than I...

    T5 Fluid

    Help......help rest me easy at night....I put in Redline MTL fluid in my new T5, afterwards, I realized that instructions called for ATF, and the bottle said that although it does cover ATF viscosity range, you should use Redline ATF D4 when it calls for ATF :shock: . My tranny does shift a...
