    I need a new trans to replace my stock one...and suggestions?

    Your t-45 is rated to handle 365ft-lbs which is pretty impressive for what it is, a stock mustang cobra or f-body t-56 is 440, a tko500 is rated at 500, the tko600 is rated at 650 and the viper spec t-56 (magnum)/Tremec 6060 is 750. You can figure on a 20% over-engineering cushion for each of...

    I need a new trans to replace my stock one...and suggestions?

    If neither of those trannies will cut it for you, then you are looking at an aftermarket t-56 as the best manual left. But you might want to a consider built automatic as well. My Viper spec t-56 is rated at 750 ft-lbs, so you definitely would have room to grow with one of those units. I got...

    Can't decide, please help

    I am assuming that you are trying to decide between the kennebell 2.1 (or 2.6) and ANY centrifugal, because you didn't specify which vortech you wanted to use. Vortech, Paxton, and Procharger make different models of superchargers that can cover everything from 350-1200 horsepower in completely...

    Gas mileage on supercharged stangs???

    If it's all highway miles, I can get better than 30, in town around 23. Thats assuming I don't get on it at all. On a track, I'll burn a tank in one night of test and tune. If all you do is red light stomp, rinse and repeat, you are going to get horrible results. Your engine needs X amount...

    What do you think of these mods?

    MidnightDriver - if I may make a suggestion, go with upgrades that you can build upon. Power Adders Heads, Cam, Intake Manifold, gears, headers and tunes are the real performers. Most bolt-ons are offer nothing on stock engines but bling and bragging. Despite what many people say, the 2V...

    02 GT - Maf Housing Cracked

    Kilgore Trout is correct, it is an air straightener. Until you put a supercharger or turbo on your car, it will not be any restriction. There are plenty of other restrictions that more than make up for any potential restriction of the MAF screen. The MAF screen is used to minimize the...

    Gosh DARN IT!! Problem with my new "used" T56

    Yeah, everyone is saying the tranny, so i won't add to that topic, but the possibility that it might be something else shouldn't be overlooked. If you just added that spec +3 and flywheel, there is the possibility you bent the firewall at the orifice that the cable runs through into the...

    Decrease in gas mileage =[

    With the temperature dropping over the last month, i can think of at least 3 reasons. 1. Colder environment means unless you have added air, your tire pressure will be lower, resulting in lost fuel economy through increased rolling resistance 2. Colder environment means air is denser...

    Oil Consumption

    You need an oil separator. The kit connects to your pcv hose. Costs around $100.

    Injector colors

    BfB is correct, there is no difference between the 19# and 21# injectors (I think they are actually 23#), they're the same Bosch injector. The flow rating, which is given by Ford at a fuel pressure of 44 psi (or somewhere around that), was changed based on the change from return style systems...

    Fuse keeps blowing

    If the fuse continues to blow, then there is a short. It might be wiring, it may be something else. I actually had a dime somehow get stuck in the bottom of my lighter/power port and it took me two weeks to figure it out. There is a second fuse panel under the dash on the left just to the...

    PI Swap AND Forced Induction - Need legitimate technical advice

    Given your list of mods, you are right at the limit of what all the little bolt-ons can do, anything more is gonna be expensive just like you said. Given that you are ready to spend some serious coin, you should do it right so you only have to do it once. What I am gonna tell you may not be...

    1996 Mustang

    Fuel first, you can gap your plugs down to prevent fire blow-out. If you are staying under 450RWHP you are probably safe with 42# injectors, beyond that up to 600RWHP I would use a 60# set. Any bigger and you need to go with a stand alone system such as FAST to support big injectors which...

    1996 Mustang

    Your peak lift is not going to affect whether you need to flycut your pistons, it will be the amount of duration involved that will determine that. Contact your cam manufacturer and ask if they know if you need to flycut your pistons. In any case either you or your engine builder should...

    New wheels installed...steering seems off? **Continued thread merged in here**

    TO SALEENGT2001, MAYBE YOU SHOULD RE-READ MY POST. I didn't say a wider tire will move centerline, I said if you change the profile - i.e. the overal height of the tire, that will change the location of the centerline of the tire. You are effectively moving where the tire reaches the ground...

    New wheels installed...steering seems off? **Continued thread merged in here**

    You really should get an alignment, anytime you change the wheel/tire profile drastically or add any new suspension components like new struts and shocks. Your symptoms could be caused by any number of possibilities, which need to be corrected. 1. Your overall tire profile could have...

    Spark Plug Question

    Platinum plugs are used as oem because they last longer than copper plugs. This gives them better long term emissions, and allows for a much greater period between plug replacement. You should replace copper plugs at least every two years, while platinums are usually rated for at least 60K...

    Cams for Vortech in CA

    Maybe you should re-read mine. I never spoke about doing the install. I just said the cost of the components would be about the same as putting the cams in. Absolutely the install if done at a shop, will be expensive. I am sure he knows that, and I never implied otherwise. I never said...
