    your car has 170hp and its carbureted. An SVO makes quite a bit more power, those widebody mclarens are badass cars though, show us some pictures.

    Help: My N/A 2.3L is dangerously slow - What are some cheap mods?

    I drive this in dallas traffic every day, and it is SO slow, its actually dangerous, I've almost kill myself pulling into traffic a few times. Being aggressive is a prerequisite around here, and my 2.3L is so damn slow its hilarious. It has a full roller valvetrain with an FMS cam, what can I...

    In the process of building up a beasty 2.3L - any ideas on power output to expect?

    I'm a big 5.0 guy, so the 2.3l's are new to me, every night I read up and try to get accomidated to how these motors respond to mods and what mods seem to be the most effective. Unlike 5.0's, no one around here has any experience with 2.3l's so everything I learn is from the internet and my own...

    In the process of building up a beasty 2.3L - any ideas on power output to expect?

    I'm going to be doing the following to my 88 TC engine. I'm purchasing a RPM Machine rebuild w/ forged lightened pistons, manley rods, clevite 77 bearings, all the good stuff. I will be using a ported iron head, stinger tubular header, T3/T4 hybrid turbo, 40Bob 65mm complete Intake, and 2.5"...

    very high miles...5.0 vs 4.6

    While I was a ford technician, I had the opportunity to experience many high mileage 5.0's and 4.6's. The honest truth is, they are both good engines, but I've never seen any 4.6L last as long as a 5.0. 4.6L modular motors suffer from timing chain tensioner wear, which is normally the first...

    Reinforcing the factory seats

    Has anyone in here got a link to reinforce the factory seat frames? I picked up a set of perfect frames and I'd like to go to work with the welder, but I remember seeing some article on where and how to weld them so they are stiffer. Anyone have any experience with this or any links?

    Inching closer...any tricks to break 300 RWHP?

    a blower will give you roughly 100rwhp at ~6psi, from my extensive experience, your motor breathes well enough, its blower time bud.

    Anyone heard this blow off valve before??

    longer turbo life, and maintaining boost is your performance gain :).

    Anyone heard this blow off valve before??

    venting to atmosphere causes metered air to get expelled, meaning yes the motor runs rich for a moment, however from what I've gathered and seen, its not really a big issue as long as you get the right kind of bov.

    AWD fox?

    an AWD fox has been made. They used a 97 Explorer 5.0 w/ 4wd. They swapped in a viscous clutch system for the AWD and ditched the gears, the k member was totally custom, and so were the CV's. It was a late model hatch, but if I remember it was astronomically expensive.
