    Putting my car back to stock

    I am getting rid of my car so I can pick up my friends 93 LX which he bought brand new. I am taking all of my aftermarket parts off before it goes back to the leasing company. I have listed most of the stuff on ebay but if anyone here wants anything let me know and I will try to work something...

    Long Tube Headers 1-5/8 or 1-3/4?

    My car is NA now, but I hope to add a twin screw in the future. Should I go with the smaller primaries now to avoid loss of low end power, or should I suffer now in order to have the larger diameter when I go FI? I am leaning towards the 1-5/8 but I wan to know if anyone else has been through...

    FRPP Hot Rod Cams Installed

    I have been trying for months to get these cams and they are finally in. Gains are 47 RWHP and 22 RWTQ. These are a little inflated because the final pull was to 6200 and the baseline was only to 6000 rpms. The curve shows the hp still increasing at 6200. Needless to say I am thrilled about the...

    I need stock cam covers

    Anyone know where I can get a set of stock covers so I can paint them ahead of time and have them put on when my cams get installed next week? If anyone has their motor apart for some reason and would send me theirs, I could send mine back to replace them. My car only has 11,000 fair weather...

    Can my SCT 2 with 3 Brenspeed tunes be transferred to another car?

    I am having my car dyno tuned and will no longer be using the SCT tuner or my Brenspeed tunes. Can I just unload the Brenspeed tune from my car and then sell the tuner? I bought it with the C&L racer intake which I am keeping, is the tune specific to that intake? If anyone has bought a used one...

    LCA & Line-Lock Writeups

    :hail2: I just wanted to give a big thanks to Bigcat and Darkfire for doing such a good job with the instructions and photos for this stuff. :hail2: I love working on my car but don't have a ton of experience other than the basics and having you guys do the trial and error makes it possible me...

    Bleeding my brakes

    Can someone explain the procedure for bleeding the brakes. I will be doing my line locks tomorrow and I haven't worked on brakes in a long time. Is it different with ABS? Thanks.

    LCA setup

    I finally installed my J&M LCAs and relocation brackets, but I haven't put the wheels back on torqued everything yet because I am doing the PMP line locks first. What I want to know is which position most people have their LCAs at in the relocation brackets. I put mine in the upper hole as...

    Need some drag racing tips

    I have never run on a track before and I could use some help. I heard that Englishtown is opening soon and I am going to be pulling my car out within the next few weeks. It is a couple of hours away so I was hoping to get some tips from you guys before I make the trip. This does not include...

    What is the Battery Blanket for?

    Some of you might remember that my battery blanket was chewed by a mouse in the beginning of the winter. I am wondering if it is a big deal if I just get rid of it. I am assuming it is for protection from the cold but I wanted to make sure it is not there to protect the battery from engine heat...

    Is Hotpart.com reliable?

    I ordered J&M LCAs and relocation brackets from these guys about two weeks ago. They screwed up the order the first time when they processed my check card and took a few days to contact me to get it right. They charged my card for both parts but I just got the package and it only contains the...

    Muffler Install

    I put in my Flowmasters last night and I really would like to thank the engineer at Ford that designed the hangar brackets. I am not a mechanic by any means but I thought I would have had an easier time doing this. I was crying so loud that my wife thought I had Hillary Clinton in the garage. I...

    Help!!!...Please Look

    I have my car covered up in the garage for the winter and I pulled the cover off the other day to show someone the car and I noticed some of the material on the battery blanket is frayed. My first thought was that something is rubbing on it but I don't think that is the problem. Could it be a...

    Long Tube Header Install

    Any of you do-it-yourselfers installed longtubes yet? My car is laid up for the winter so I have plenty of time to do the job, and I like doing my mods myself when I can. Are there any special tools needed or any really tough parts to the install? I want to go with an offroad h-pipe, not an...

    New Cams....No Springs Required!

    Comp Cams has a new cam set for our cars that does not require new valve springs. Price on Brenspeed is $650. 20 RWHP gain peak, 31 RWHP at 6200 RPM. I called and they said it has a slight chop at idle. Install time is about 4 hours according to them. Apparently unless you are doing major...

    Looking for Winter Storage Tips

    In exactly one week from today the insurance on my Stang will be suspended for the winter :doh: :Damnit: :barf: :nonono: :( I am wondering what I should do to it before I throw the cover on it other than cleaning it up and putting some fuel stabilizer in it maybe. I also don't know if I...

    Tire Size for 18" Fanblades

    I would like to go wider but I am not sure what is best. Should I go with 255s all the way around, or can I go wider in the rear? I know that these rims aren't that wide so I was wondering what has been working, or not working out on these rims. I had a piece of metal puncture my tire on the...

    Super Snake...605hp and 12.5 quarter mile...WTF?

    I don't know a lot about drag racing but I was thinking that my car with bolt-ons would be in the low 13s, possibly high 12s with some weight reduction and good conditions. How in the world does a GT500 run 12.8 and a Super Snake run 12.5. I understand that they have a heavier motor and are...

    Late Model Mustang Club Show

    I am going to the LMMC show this weekend and I am possibly going to enter my car as well. I will be bringing my digital camera and I was wondering what would be the best way to post some pics. Some of you guys seem to be pretty knowledgable about this kind of thing. Later.
