    Richmond or FMS?

    i had richmond gears in my last stang and they whined a little, but im going with FMS gears in this stang, partly becuase im doing the install myself and the FMS gears are suppose to be a direct swap in, using the same shims and all, jsut easier for the novice mechanic.

    what size tire for 10 holes

    its a 15 inch rim, will a 235/60/15 be too large, or will a 235/50/15 be too small. the car is lowered, so a 50 will not give me enough ride hight to make it over bumps.

    How to convert to a roller block??

    i believe crane cams make a Retrofit Lifters. All you do is drop them in from what i understand. They are around $400 for a set, but you just drop them in and use the hydrolic cam of your choice. Key word here, I BELIEVE this is how it works.

    I broke the lugnut key, now what???

    you can do it acouple ways if you dont have the key. First you can weld a nut on the locking nut and just take a rachet and breaker bar to it. If you can weld do it yourself, if not, a shop wont charge that much to weld a nut on the locking nut. Or you can get the next smallest size of socket...

    WTF my mustang acting like a 4 year old

    ckeck your fuel filter, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. You might not be getting a clean amount of fuel or a spark to your engine, that will make it run rough. Ckeck timing too, it cant hurt.

    coolant leak, but not heater core? help.

    its probably a bad hose or something like that. Where you think the leak is comming from, go ahead and pull the hose and inspect if for hole, cracks, ect. Make sure all clamps are on securely. If its an external coolant leak it is most likely a hose.

    Whats a better choice, turbo or supercharger?

    go turboed. Everyone has a supercharger strapped to their mustang. Get a turbo, it makes more power and i like the sound of hearing a big turbo spool up then the blow off valve kicks in. Do something different. Yes a turbo set up will cost more adn it will be more to tune and it makes more...

    Steel input shaft retainer; needs shims?

    did you place the shim inside or on the outside of the bearing race. You should slide the bearing race out of the bearing retainer and place the shim. If one is too tight and the other is to loose, you need a different shim. If you have a dial indicator. Attach it to the tailhousing shaft...
