    Whats up with the X Cam?

    Have fun driving around town with a cam that doesn't come into play until 3500 rpm's. About a week of that and you'll be pulling it. Save the headache and buy the right cam now. I run a Crane 2040 which has the same spec's as the E-cam and it was still making power at 6000 rpm's the last time I...

    Turbonatore Questions ?

    The turbonator is definitely aimed at the ricer crowd. We Mustang owners should know better.

    wheel studs

    No you don't bang them in. If you have an impact wrench then you can pull them through with that. Just use a little WD40 on the knerl and put a couple of washer on the other side. (brake side) Finger tighten down a lug nut on the washers making sure the stud is straight, (Nut flat side down)...

    Carb Jetting

    I need to hear from some carb guys. Last weekend I was at the track for some test and tuning. I was rejetting my 650 after every couple passes and pulling plugs. After my last pass I pulled the number 2 plug and it finally looked like I had the right burn. Plug was nice and tan. Figuring I had...

    More Help Needed for H-Pipe Install

    Instead of bending and welding just take the whole thermactor system off along with the smog pump. Either get a smaller fan belt to bypass the pump or get a smog delete pulley. Also, you will need two thermactor plugs for the back of the heads. Trickflow makes these. If you order from Summit...

    just installed 4:10's and cant get any traction at the track!!!!!!

    Is it hot there? How was the track prepped? Plenty of VHT? I couldn't hook for the life of me last Sunday and I run 3.55's with 275/50 BFG DR's. The outside temp was 97 degree, which made the track like butter. Also, stock suspension + 4.10's = spinnnnnnn.

    Severe wheel hop from 89 GT....quad shocks?

    New quad shocks would help, but you would probably be better off getting some new aftermarket control arms. I run BBK upper and lower and pulled my quad shocks and have no wheel hop.

    Opinions on the Proform electric fan

    I have the Proform fan. No problems yet. If your choice is between the Proform and the Black Magic, go with the Proform, It is the exact same fan. Right down to the word for word instructions.

    How hot is too hot?

    On average mine runs 190. In the worst case in a traffic jam in 90 degree heat it has climbed to 210. 230 is way to high. Whats the radiator look like? Not a bad idea to install a new water pump and t-stat. Maybe now is the time to ditch the old fan a go with an electric.

    Should I Trade Or Walk Away!

    I would think 13.5.1 will need racing fuel. It does have all the good stuff though.

    Battle Box install

    I understand that I bolt them in. However, all I have read about the installation is they should also be welded. Doesn't sound to tough for the lower install, maybe the uppers might be difficult. Tried to PM Rick91GT but his mail box is full. Also set an E-Mail to his business and personal...

    What are good Edelbrock heads?

    Depends .... Do you need to pass emmisions? I run the emmision legal Edelbrock 60739 heads and was told by a tech at Ford Racing that they flow better the the Y303 head. You might want to look into AFR or TrickFlow. I know Trickflow makes an emmisions legal head that can us bigger valves (2.02)...

    Removing/Installing Axle Studs

    It all depends on if the studs and new axles are stock or hardened. As far as removing the old ones. You still should be able to pound them out with a hammer. If the new studs and axles are hardened you will probably have to have them pressed in. If the axles are stock you can pull the studs...

    Battle Box install

    I'm finally going to get around to installing the upper and lower torque box reinforcement on my 85 GT. Is this a very difficult installation? Or should I have a shop do it? I prefer to do all the work on the car myself but don't have a welder. A couple shops have given me quotes but I feel they...
