    HELP intake mani leaks

    Well the manifold doesnt leak out. There is coolant going inside the manifold from somewhere. And there is oil in the coolant. I can see the oil in the overflow tank. It is also shooting out coolant of the overflow. The car wont start. Im thinking the head gaskets blew. And this is a 97 Crown...

    Nitto NT555's

    I dont think you will ever have good traction w/ a street tire. There are alot of DRs out there that are good for driving on the street. I always wanted some nitto drs so I got some and they blow a$$. I cant get traction on the street or especially at the track. But they were used. I will be...

    HELP intake mani leaks

    I have a 97 crown victoria that just blew the plastic intake manifold apart right by the alternator. I got the aftermarket one and installed it. Then it was really hard to start, and there was air pressurizing the coolant ( exhaust maybe?). I took the mani off and there was coolant in some of...

    Supercharging a 347

    Im not trying to be an a$$, but how do you know they arnt reliable? Ive heard a million stories about people destroying hypers w/ nitrous. I think if you know what you are doing and get it tuned right they should hold up. My dad is a sales rep for speed pro and Keith Black. He has been around...

    Supercharging a 347

    Im thinking of running a zex wet kit. I think this would be the safest kit. Also I want to run the MSD SCI box w/ nitrous retard. I will definatly get it tuned before I use it. Im thinking of running 75-100 shot. I really want to get into the low 12s high 11s. I guess the supercharger will...

    Who has painted their own car?

    If I were you I would do a 2 stage system (base/clear). It just lasts longer and looks better. DuPont, PPG, Sikkens they are all good brands. I would recomend using DuPont because they have mixing instructions on the side of the can. As for the body work. I would use air tools ( DA and/or air...

    Someone pissed me off and now i wanna sell my Mustang

    Umm ya I owned a twin turbo Vr-4 at the track the other day. I even out launched him. Im thinking they are pretty slow.:owned: What you need to do is save up some money, and find an old explorer engine. They have decent heads and intake. Slap in a cam and get some gears. He wont be laughing...

    New Track times: Good/Bad

    Wow, those times are nuts. My car doesnt even come close to that, lol. You must have a lot of practice. Ive only been to the track a total of 5 times. I'd be very proud of those times if i were you. :nice:

    Help with supercharger...

    I would get a new bypass valve for it. You wont lose much money even if thats not the problem. Check all of the vac. lines and make sure there is no leaks. You will lose hp and it will most likely run worse w/ leaky vac lines. Maybe check the idle screw. It may have shaken loose and not allowing...

    347 dyno numbers low?

    Well I guess I will have to wait and see what it does after I put the new parts on. I think it should be good afterwards. I let you guys know the outcome on Tuesday. Thanks. Aaron

    347 dyno numbers low?

    Actually, the engine burned a quart in about 1000 miles. Im putting the new flywheel and balancer in on monday. It shouldnt shake then and should be fine. If it continues to burn oil after 5k miles I will probably pull the engine back out and rebuild it. If it continues to shake, should I have...

    347 dyno numbers low?

    The people who built my engine have built hundreds of engines. They do alot of stock cars, and love to work on fords. They never balanced the engine. They said that the parts should already be balanced. I dont know about the cam, but im pretty sure they put it in the right way. If the engine...

    347 dyno numbers low?

    Ya, my dad got all of my parts wholesale. I told him to tell them to pay for my labor but no. I adjusted those damn rockers like 3 times, but they could still be too tight. Its not fun taking the upper manifold off everytime I have to take the rocker covers off. I had my dads friends put the...

    changing struts/shocks

    Yes, air tools are a must for me. I would be lost with out them. You should be able to get all of the nuts off with out air tools, except the top strut nut. The whole thing just spins if you use a wrench or rachet. Also if the struts have never been off of the car expect the bolts to be pretty...
