    Why does my car top out at 120????

    What you are describing is exactly what happens when you have stock gearing and a stock or near-stock engine. The wind resistance gets pretty high at those speeds and your car simply doesn't have enough power to push itself any faster against the wind with those gears. It does. MORE POWER...

    AFR's are on! Happy as a pig in...er, uh, dung!

    Thanks for all the kind words and advice, guys. Joe and Paul, I appreciate the recommendations; I'll check into those shops when I'm ready for a tune. Vib, you're too much man...LOL. Actually Ed and I were going out for steak & shrimp next week. You could bring the Heineken if your car was...

    Bet you can't do this...

    Bah, nothing some super glue won't fix. Just put a lil' dab in there, squeeze both pieces of the driveshaft together, and wrap her up with some duct tape. Good as new! :D

    AFR's are on! Happy as a pig in...er, uh, dung!

    HUH?!? Are you kiddin'? I made the thread in 5.0 Talk about NEVER wanting to sell my Stang. Remember, I got rid of the Miata w/the Jackson Ricing supercharger. ;) There are none of either nearby. Bristol is 2 - 2 1/2 hours away, and I may take it there after I get my suspension mods...

    AFR's are on! Happy as a pig in...er, uh, dung!

    Now I see what all the hype is over with aluminum heads. Jeez! The ONLY things in my combo that changed were the heads, MAF, and injectors...everything else was left alone. The car pulls very noticeably harder now, especially midrange and up top. Not sure what I gained on the low end...

    Mequires NXT Wax - Results

    You know, I heard someone else say that NXT doesn't last that long. But on the bottle, it claims to be their longest-lasting wax ever. Anyone else have a comment on the durability of NXT? I don't care how good the shine is--if it doesn't last 2 weeks it's definitely not worth $15 a bottle.

    Got in a small agrument with parents.

    Summit sells them. I was told Ford Racing and Trick Flow make complete engine gasket sets. Perhaps Fel-Pro does too... P.S. Ya don't have to display your signature each time you post--takes up a lot of room. There was a sticky a while back and the mods asked that we just display our sig...

    Notebook Computers... which one?

    Alienware makes great PC's that are really fast, but they are extremely expensive. They are definitely near the bottom of the "price to performance ratio" totem pole. There is a guy that hangs out in the House of Pain that spent $3,500 on a P4 3.06 GHz PC that I could have built for 1/2 the...

    Why does my car top out at 120????

    You're absolutely right; I have 4.10's and I can hit 130mph but that's about it. I was just kidding in my first post. ;) I figured it was either some kind of limiter on the AODE cars, or just sucky stock gearing.

    Got in a small agrument with parents.

    Glad to hear it man! I've seen you talk about ordering that crate motor in several threads and I just thought you could do so much better for the $$$. Not only are you getting a DSS block with FORGED internals for your future blower, you'll be making more power than that GT40 crate motor for...

    Got in a small agrument with parents.

    Exactly. If I my engine went tomorrow and the funds were available (like he apparently has) you better damn well believe a 331 or 347 is going into the engine bay, not a 302!! For the price of the GT40 crate motor you could get a nice stroker setup and make way more power in the end. If he...

    Got in a small agrument with parents.

    Were they going to BUY you a newer car, or just help you get one (as in cosign for the loan or help with the payments)? Because if they were going to just go out and buy you a 99-02 GT or a 96-98 Cobra, I would have been very tempted to go that route. You could have gotten a 99+ GT, thrown a...

    Why does my car top out at 120????

    Do you have 4.10's? If so, that would explain it, LOL... What were your RPM's at when you were crusing at 120? Also, did the needle on the tach just get to a certain point and slowly come to a stop, or did it "bounce" back down like it kept hitting a limiter?

    Need a new clutch soon...should I go King Cobra or Spec Stage I?

    Thanks bud, it will be a little while before I buy one (I'm gonna wait until mine is nearly gone) but I'll let ya know how the Stage II is when I get it. :) Really? I thought one of the reasons that LS1's and 03 Cobras were able to maintain decent gas mileage is due to their 6-speed...

    Need a new clutch soon...should I go King Cobra or Spec Stage I?

    Well guys, I think I'll just go with a SPEC Stage II. After doing some more research, I've heard just enough bad things about the Centerforce and King Cobra to keep me from getting them. Don't get me wrong, I've read a lot of good things too, but I've heard less negative things about the SPEC...

    She caught on fire today :(

    I had a similar experience in Nov. 2002 except it wasn't caused by my fuse box. Still not sure to this day, but I think it might have been the alternator. :notnice: And I didn't get to extinguish it because I was pulling a dead kid out of the road. :( Some of you may remember the story.

    Notebook Computers... which one?

    Dells are a pretty sure bet, but Sony Vaios are nice too. I had and recently sold a Dell P3 lappy and it was a great lappy.

    Pics of My Paxton, Post your Power Adder.

    Oh well, I had to try. I wish you would bring your VibrantRed butt up here and mod mine. I don't have any tools and it would have been nice to save the money on the AFR install. Oh, and there's a guy down there with a Tremec 3550 that's returning his car to stock. He wants a T5 + cash for...

    Need a new clutch soon...should I go King Cobra or Spec Stage I?

    Thanks for the info guys. I really don't know which way to go with this. Some people are telling me to go with the King Cobra and others are saying SPEC Stage II. I'm kind of afraid to put a really strong clutch in there with my T5, because a guy on the 94/95 forums recently put in a SPEC...
