    2002, 3.73 Gear?

    I have the fortune of finding someone that has a 3.73 gear set out of a 2002 GT, and will sell them to me for $25. I have an 85 GT with a 8.8 rear. Will the ring and pinion from the 8.8 out of the 2002 fit in an older rear end? I assume it will. That the only thing that is different is the...

    Who's painted there headers???? come on it!!!!

    If you don't have to sandblast them, clean them with acitone. Nothing cleans metal quicker. Won't leave a film. Paint will stick good. Will you be driving the car in the winter? Paint will only last so long. Since they are shorties you may get a couple years before the paint is gone.

    86+ headers on 85 GT

    I have a complete 86 exhaust system on my 85. All I needed was the double hump cross member. All the existing hangers for the car were used. And the heads are different, but the exhaust ports are the same, thats why you can interchange headers. Make sure when you install the trans crossmember...

    helmet required for 1/4 mile?

    IHRA and NHRA tracks will require you to have a helmut. I believe the D/S rule stated by Mav. is NHRA. For sure if you're running slicks. My local track is no longer sanctioned, but they still require a helmut. New NHRA rules this spring have moved the cage rule down to 11.49. I think this is in...

    Alternator Question

    I didn't have this charging problem until I installed the electric fan. I'm thinking of changing the alternator pulley, if that doesn't work, having the alt. rebuilt to around 160 amp. Just found out about a guy in my area that does that for the local PD, FD and EMT's for their vehicles...

    Alternator Question

    Last summer I installed underdrives and a 100 amp alt. on my 85 GT. This winter I installed an electric fan that pulls about 13amps. I've noticed at idle the volts go down to 10.5 to 11. The other night after a 3 hour drive with about an hour stuck in a construction zone I notice a white...

    Too Loud?

    It will only be loud when you get on it. Just make sure when your cruising around town you keep your foot out of it. Get on it when it calls for it.

    good exaust set up

    I agree with most of what you said. His exhaust will be somewhat raspy, however most comparisons have shown more horsepower results with the X-pipe. I run Bassani equal length shorties with bassani O/R X-pipes and Magnaflow cat-backs and definitely noticed an increase in power. I even saw a...

    Caliper question

    Took the MC cap off and pulled out fluid so it wouldn't splash over. I have the tool that pushes the piston back, no luck. Used the block of wood and c-clamp, no dice. Tried a large screw driver with the old pads in, nope. I exhausted every trick I knew of, thats when I get on the board and...

    Caliper question

    Threw on a new set of rotors on my 85 GT. When I get to the calipers I can't get the caliper piston to push back. If anything its pushed out more. Any secrets to moving a stubborn piston or do I need new calipers. They are the original calipers, but with only 67,000 miles.

    quad shocks?

    If you had them you'd know. From the side of your car look over the rear tire. You'll see it mounted from the chassis to the suspension. They're useless if you have decent aftermarket control arms. Also, if you are going with wider tires and rims you will have to take them off in order for the...

    best gears to use for street/strip for c4

    The 3.55's will definitely be more highway friendly. I get 22 MPH with 3.55's, but I do have a 5-spd. After I run at the track I always wish I had gone with the 3.73's. I always feel I have power left over at the end of the run. I usually go through the traps at around 5000 R's. It all depends...

    Differental oil?

    I've heard the same thing. I know my F-350 and Mustang rear ends are much quieter with the thick stuff. The gears also look great after much use.

    Help..Who has a Holley Carb on there Heads and Cam 302's?

    I agree with Marine 2003. The 750 is to much carb for the 302. I had this argument with a friend last summer, so to put it to rest, we took my car to the track. I made two passes with the 650 I currently run and made two passes with a 750 my friend brought with. I lost 4/10ths of a second on...
