    Need help still can't get this thing to run right....(long)

    maybe that's why your plugs are white. i always thought that the plugs should be a little brown, not wet though. you're running lean then right?

    Rear end Question

    a spring from an F150 is a good idea. also, you want to shim the clutch packs as tight as you can, enough that you can just barely get them spider gears back in. if you ask me, it's alot easier to do if you have the differential out of the car, and it only takes an extra 10 minutes to get it...

    Went to the track today....

    nice mph, not bad times either for a non prepped track. with the mods you have planned, along with a prepped track, you might be pretty close to an 11 sec slip. you should be able to get that 60' down to a high 1.6 with the power you have.

    Rear end Question

    definatly put the shims and bearing caps back where you got them from. keep them marked, don't get them mixed up. the caps are side specific and the shims were what each side needed for correct adjustment. also, don't forget that the caps have arrows on them that need to face out. you...

    is 26x10 ET Drag too much tire for my combo?

    i already have that video. the one with the killer bees in the background. that's definatly alot longer of a burnout than i usually do. i plan on doing it like that my next time out, which is going to be at the SSOTN Nats on Nov. 13th.

    is 26x10 ET Drag too much tire for my combo?

    actually, i've never really tried below 11 psi. also, i usually just spin the tires until i see a some smoke and then let off the brake. i'll try your counting method, that should heat them up a little more. i never really shut down while still spinning either, they always chirp a little...

    is 26x10 ET Drag too much tire for my combo?

    care to tell me how you are pulling those 60's? :D my next time out, i'm going to burn the hell out of the ET Streets and see if that helps. i'm not thinking of changing tires so i shift after the 60'. i am thinking of changing to an ET Drag for the added traction and consistancy. either...

    is 26x10 ET Drag too much tire for my combo?

    i honestly don't know if i'm shifting before the 60' marker. but i do have two crappy videos of the car, and it looks like i'm shifting right at it which you're right, could be affecting my 60'. so, maybe i actually would be low 1.7 if i didn't have to shift. :shrug: i always stage deep...

    is 26x10 ET Drag too much tire for my combo?

    are those hoosiers full slicks? i know my 1.78 isn't too bad, but it's just not good enough for me. to this day, i don't see how the hell you guys are pulling those kinds of short times. but, i hope i can get closer.

    is 26x10 ET Drag too much tire for my combo?

    currently i'm running 27x10.5 ET Streets, but i want a better 60's. My best is a 1.78, but it's not very consistant at all. I cross the line ~5500 rpm according to the factory tach which may be off a little. I'm thinking of getting ET Drags and i have a friend selling 26x10.5's. Do you think...

    Only guys "with" 430 gears come in!

    60 mph is ~2100 rpms. 70 mph i'm taching ~2450 rpms. 80 mph is ~2800 rpms. of course, right now i run 275-60-15's in the back, which are 28" tall. i'm thinking of changing to a slightly smaller tire sometime though because they do rub. it still wouldn't be too bad on the highway with a...

    Broken differential shim

    just go to your local ford dealer, i bet they have a bunch of shims laying around. take a dial indicator with you if possible. your shim was probably weak and that's why it broke. the guys at my local ford dealer are pretty cool people. they let me rifle through there box of shims and even...

    How to get in/lbs reading on gears?

    sounds like you need to find a friend to borrow a torque wrench from. as a last resort, measure preload with your hand. it should not be loose, yet it should not be tight. you should be able to rotate it with very little effort, but you should not really be able to spin it and it keeps on...

    i take it a stock cat H-pipe from 87-93 won't fit 94 and 95?

    good point. not sure, because after all, they are basically the same motor.

    i take it a stock cat H-pipe from 87-93 won't fit 94 and 95?

    anyone know for sure. my friend might be looking at a 95gt. it has an off road H-pipe and he'll need to get emmissions done. i still have my old stock cat H-pipe hanging in the garage and wondering if it would bolt up without much problem.

    3.73's to 4.10 possibly 4.30...is that too much gear for a 5.0L?

    where do you make peak power at? sounds like you want to raise the trap rpm's? i think you would benefit running a 4.10 gear. pretty sure you would run out of gear with the 4.30's. i don't have a problem running 4.30 because i don't have as much power as you do. with my 27" et streets, i...

    REAR END EXPERTS PLEASE HELP!!

    i don't think that you need a new pinion nut, just make sure to use some blue locktight. i've reused pinion nuts before without a problem. you won't need a new crush collar either since you have yet to crush it. just thought i would tell you since i'm not sure i really specified earlier, when...

    REAR END EXPERTS PLEASE HELP!!

    let me get this straight, you did not get the differential in yet right? and you have slop in the pinion gear? did you tighten the pinion nut to a certain psi? don't bother tightening the nut to a certain psi, tigthen it to where you just bairly have slop in the pinion gear. then go very...
