    Sugar/coke in gas tank will damage engine. Fact or Myth?

    This would be a good one for MYTHBUSTERS, someone should write them. :D edit: I have taken it upon myself and I have writtem Myth Buster w/ this question. They have a lot of stupid question that are asked on there website.

    supercharger question

    Every engine is different. Like stated previously, it is hit or miss. I have a 7psi pulley on my KB w/ no intercooler and I have logged about 5000miles and have had 0 problems. I do lean into the gas quite often, it is so much fun and addicting. My next step before I do anything else is...

    supercharger question

    That awsome dude. I would think if you had an intercooler that using a 9-10psi pulley would be no thang. I of course have to cast a vote for the KB, I have a 7psi pulley and am quite impressed. One day I will upgrade to the 9psi IC kit, but for now, I can only afford what I have. It...

    installed T/A, so what does pinging sound like again?

    On my 2001 GT, it is knock sensor equipped. When I installed my Kenne Bell supercharger if it had to have one, otherwise you have to get one. I am not sure on the years though.

    Has anyone seen...

    If you are looking for a cheap CAI that fits. I bought one from racing_guys off ebay. They were fast and all the necessary parts were there. I paid like $35 for it. But do not expect any power gains, infact, when I put my S/C on, I actually lost power. It did look nice though, and it changed...

    installed T/A, so what does pinging sound like again?

    The pinging is preignition. When your piston comes up for the compression storke and the spark plug ignites the gas, you want a nice even burn across the top of the piston. pinging, detonation, pre-ignition are all the same and what happens is that you create to much compression and the...

    360 HP on a GT with...?

    This quote is icing on the cake, I have never heard of too much power. :D If you can burn your tires at the end of the longest straight away, then you have enough power, or, you need to work on your suspension. I vote for the latter. :spot: And what is this talk about not getting...

    Manual tranny not staying in reverse

    It sound like you have a bent shift fork. Because reverse is set up differently than other gears (farther reach and throw), you would realize this before any other gears. I had a 89 Dodge pickup that would do this, this was after many hours of beating the hell out of it though. I just had to...

    installed T/A, so what does pinging sound like again?

    Just try using a higher octane and see if it goes away. If you did nothing but change the exhaust, it should not be pinging. I sound like you are hearing the exhaust leak, this can sound a lot like a knock. I doubt you have pinging if you haven't changed any timing or added any boost. But if...

    Steeda Tri-X vs Stock GT Shifter

    I will be easier to hit those three gears because there is less throw. And I agree that it is night and day. It is so short and precise. Fells like it is supposed to. :D

    Changing front brake pads

    I wouldn't get them turned if you aren't getting any pulsating in the breaks. You use a C-clamp or a channel locks to compress the piston back in on the caliper and put some silicone on the back of the pad were is meets the caliper so it doesn't squeak, this is where a lot of squeeking comes...

    Fully synthetic Mobile 1, Prestone in the radiator, and whatever came w/ the car from the factory for everything else. I had some rearend work done awhile back and they put back in what ever kind came out.

    Tires r Gone :(

    If it is $346 for a set of 4 that is really cheap, but if that is per tire :owned: Tirerack will have the best deals you will find, unless you can get discount thru a business or something of the sort. Good luck, burning tires are fun though. I had Perelli on my 1st Mustang (85 5.0 HO...

    New owner... Suggestions

    It is called a twin screw (Kenne Bell), short throw shifter, and exhaust. I would stay away from the CAI unless you are going for looks, but you could lose some performance, I know I did with mine. And congradulations on the stang. As for gears, a lot of people do them, but I feel the 3:27...

    Car starts without the chip, but with chip in, antitheft comes on and won't start

    I had the same problem when I installed my Kenne Bell chip. You have to get the terminals down to a copper color. I had to do a lot of sanding then I used some alcohol to clean them off ( and some to make me feel better :D ). Hope this helps. And make sure that the Super chip is even the...
