    Best power adder for HOT weather??

    any centri blower will be good for you...the boost doesn't come in till around 2800-3000 rpms so if your just cruisin round town it's like it's not even there. if you want to keep your temps low go for a fmic or meth injection. before my intercooler my meth kept up pretty well. in the dead of...

    Cant get the parking brake cable back on the caliper! Grrrr

    yea it can be a pita to put back on. you can relieve the tension by taking cable off right at the pull lever but it's not neccassary. it just takes some patients and a good technique to get them back on. try grabbing the end of the cable with some vice grip pliers and then taking a...

    Hypothetical 4.6L swap in a 4th gen F-body

    i may be wrong but like already stated...the mod motor is HUGE!! because the cams are above the motor it makes it alot wider. i dont think it's physically possible to fit that motor into an F-body. and the MAIN reason people swap the LS1 or any 350 for that matter into other cars is the cost...

    Tick but no VROOM please help.

    yup sounds like a starter. not the easiest job to do...one of the starter bolts is a real bear to get out if you dont have the proper tools (swivel sockets, extensions, etc.) i may get some heat for this but do yourself a favor and dont buy an auto zone starter. it may be just be where i live...

    PI Cam Swap Problems; Please Help

    same problem here....this is what i did and it worked great. take out a couple of the top bolts that hold on the timing cover. then have a buddy gently pry the timing cover away with a screwdriver and the cam pulley will slip right over. really it may sound bad but the amount of "pryage" is...

    Any Alignment Specialists/Former Mechanics in here...

    no it's not. the camber being off that slight amount(and that is a slight amount) is not going to do anthing as far as bump steer. now you still want your camber around -.5 as already stated, but you really should invest in a bumpsteer kit as well. the rules of an alignment are the car will...

    Need help fast ** easy problem **

    ok....first off that code is for the drivers side rear o2 sensor. bank one is always the side with the number one cylinder and on our cars that is the passenger side. that code is set on a stock car when the rear o2 reads rich for too long. this means that the cat is not effectivly burning...

    Cobra Brake Upgrade

    call up stang suspension or go to their website and get their stainless lines for 94-98 cobra. i went through the same dilemma as you this winter. oh and the line fitting the screws into the hose is a different size for driver and passenger side. make sure to get stainless lines though...

    vortech pulley swap

    it "should" come off easily, and it probably will. mine though, was a PITA. it took a good 20-30 min of slowly prying on it from different angles for it to finally come off. after i got it off i put some anti-seize on the shaft as to help not have that problem again.

    Clutch is gone???

    i just had the same problem you had except mine was worse. i was driving and all of a sudden my clutch pedal was gone and i couldn't shift into any gear unless the car was turned off. i thought it was my cable as well. i had it towed to my shop and to my bad luck it wasn't the cable at all...
