    smoke

    A samll amopunt of smoke I wouldn't worry about. I've seen it before, but it's never been a lot. Just usually when I shut the car down, and pop the cap off, so I don't know about if you rev it up.

    what kinda gains with long tubes??

    Ha! Starter removal, I'm lucky to get the friggin things in with the T56. For future reference, lay them in BEFORE you drop in the motor. I have to pull them to replace the clutch too. FUN!

    How do C-clip Eleminators work?

    A friend of mine had them on an old car he had, and was running into leaky seals a lot he said. And he said everytime he changes them, he had to replace the "wedding band ring" he called it. I never saw it, but just doesn't sound like fun to me. I know it's a lot safer, but I dunno. By the...

    suspension questions

    The control arms from Mac aren't bad, and neither are the ones off Ebay. I've had both, and they are both fine. If you want to get rid of the butt drag, I recommend the motorsports springs. I have them on my car now (cuz of a need for tire clearance), and the car rides low in the front, and...

    My 2 pod required drilling, but I thought that the 3 pod was a complete replacement part. Sound right?

    supercharger or twin turbo

    As far as absolute power, turbos will outpower a blower. But that's only if you have the right ones. I'm not a big turbo buff, but I'm wondering why in the world you'd want to run that much friggin boost anyway. If it's a race car only, then I could see that, but a streetcar would run better...

    Question about Camshaft Pulley

    Alrigtht, I'm gonna take it that you're new to cars, cuz the bottom pulley is your CRANKSHAFT pulley, not cam pulley. And the pulley bolts to the harmonic balancer, not directly to the crank. The large bolt that I think you're talking about holds the balancer on the crank. The four allen head...

    91 gt guage cover removal

    You have to pull the gauge cluster out, and then you can remove the cover. It's not hard, they are just held on with screws.

    More than likely, yes. The rear main on the 5.0's is notorious for leaking.

    2.3 to 5.0 swap, i got a question

    Gonna be a big job to swap from and injected car to a carb. I did it, and it was a big job, except I stayed injected. Same year to same year, and it's something I'm not too sure I'll do anytime again soon. And honestly, the 79 5.0 is all but the same undercarriagewise as you 89. The hardest...

    anyone heard dynomax race bullets?????

    There was a drag car at the strip one time that had them with no dumps, just stopped under the car, and it was AWFUL loud at wot. I'm just to the point where I get sick of listening to my car drone all the time, so I go drive my Focus. But again, this was an all out drag car, and it was loud...

    Question on a bolt

    you could probably score one from the hardware store. Doesn't have to be anything special, just make sure it's the right size and thread.

    Maybe it's my clutch, maybe it's something else...

    Swap out the clutch and quadrant. I know you don't want too, but it only wears the clutch out faster to keep driving it that way. I just kinda accept changing clutches more than others do, thats why we have Stangs:P

    Hood flew open....Damage

    I've had the stock latch fail, but the safetty latch caught it luckily. I think I read this somewhere on another thread. Hoodpins save lives. I'm not a big fan of the look of them, but forget getting your car messed up an account of some analness. Hoodpins forever. PS- I did see a ricer...

    Want 17's Can my 92' Have Them?

    I have 17's with 255/40's out back and 235/45's up front. No problem up front, but the back I had to roll the fender lips, but I have sn95 rear rake setup tho. After I use up the rears, I plan on stepping up to 275's.

    Whats your Gas Mileage for those with a lot of HP

    I go about 150ish miles before I fill up. Usually around 13mpg. But I did set a new low of 11 just the other day YEAH! Thank god for the Focus. 34mpg, but it only has about 135 hp.

    I run the stage 2 and i love it. Great power all over the band. If you are truly going 347 tho, I may go ahead and get the stage 3.

    Car needs throttle open to start sometimes?

    My car does that sometimes too. Usually when it's hot. But I just floor it and it starts, so no biggie. My combo pulls to about 6600, but it's really singing by then. My guess it that you intake is stopping you from goin any higher.
