    need help setting firewall adjuster

    Make sure the cable tension isn't too tight. One test is that you should be able to pull out the cable out from the firewall -it should only take about 20lbs of foce to pull out the cable about a thickness of a penny. If the cable is tight like a guitar string, there will be less clutch...

    Those with aftermarket seats, chime in

    I recently put my stock drivers seat back in, and drove around. I couldn't stand the soft mushy feeling, and the way you slide around during turns. It actually made the car's handling feel a lot worse than it actually is. I couldn't wait to get the race back in there.

    03-04 Cobra tank in a GT -can I do this myself?

    Well, I got it done. I got stuck trying to disconnect the fuel line connection at the hat. It wouldn't budge so I disconnected it at the fuel filter, and left it connected at the hat. That part was a PITA. Next, I got stuck on the new evap assembly. On the new assembly I bought...

    03-04 Cobra tank in a GT -can I do this myself?

    I found this write up http://www.moddedmustangs.com/2003-2...pump-swap.html I'll try to follow it. Hopefully he didn't leave anything out. But one thing different is that I have dual focus pumps. Are there any special modifications that have to be made to the Cobra tank to accomodate them?

    03-04 Cobra tank in a GT -can I do this myself?

    I'm bogging off my launch at the track (fuel sloshing around) unless I have a 1/2 tank or more. So I decided to buy a baffled 03-04 cobra tank, as well as all the evap parts. I never dropped a fuel tank before, or installed/messed around with fuel pumps. I have dual focus pumps in there...

    Clutch getting install by shop today

    About 500 miles of stop/go is usually recommended. 5th gear on the highway doesn't count. That's what they say, but I think most people cheat. Some go to the drag strip the very next day.

    Review: Mcleod Dual Friction Clutch

    Walt at Promotion recommended 500 miles, which is what I did. Also, those 500 miles were mostly heavy stop and go traffic, not 5th gear highway cruises.

    Review: Mcleod Dual Friction Clutch

    Update: Cable tension was set too tight, that's why the clutch was slipping so badly. I feel kind of stupid for trusting the shop to have properly adjusted the cable. After properly adjusting it, I did my 2nd gear burnout test again (its still raining here). The clutch slipped for about...

    Review: Mcleod Dual Friction Clutch

    This is the single dual friction disk, not the infamous Mcleod twin disk Has anyone tried this clutch? I bought this clutch, along with an Anderson Hi Rev PP, Ford TOB, and Al flywheel from Promotion. A guy there named Walt seemed very experienced and knowledgeable, and recommended the...

    Bogging off the launch with w/ twin Focus pumps...stock GT tank related?

    Yes, I'm having the hesistation during shifting as well, but I didn't think it was related to the initial bog off the line. Since the shifting problem is a little off-topic, I PM'd you regarding that issue

    Bogging off the launch with w/ twin Focus pumps...stock GT tank related?

    by "modified", do you mean the FPDM wiring? Because that's been done already. Well Don, I'd like to bring the car to your shop, but you are 400 miles away. Is it possible for me to email you the ll3 file fom my tune, and you can modify the correct parameters and email it back? Or do you...

    Bogging off the launch with w/ twin Focus pumps...stock GT tank related?

    After my longtube install, I was at 100% duty cycle on my Cobra pumps and my A/F was leaning out after 5200 rpms. So I switched over to dual focus pumps with a wire mod. Now, after retuning I'm at 80% duty cycle and A/F back to normal (11.5-12:1). However I'm noticing a new problem: When I...

    Help me diagnose my drag results.

    My MPH trend charts zig-zag up and down like that because of the weather. Probably when it gets cold again, your MPH will go back up. But 5 mph seems a little extreme at your power level. I get 5 mph variation between cold and hot weather, but I'm making 440 rwhp. Percentage-wise, 5 mph...

    MGW shifter

    I just put this thing on. My initial impressions were very positive. Very solid, precise shifts. No noise. It feels like I have a new transmission. However, when it comes to shifting fast, I think its slowing me down. With the stock shifter, each shift was over in one quick throw. But...

    No gain with LTs on a blown 2v -suggestions?

    I have stock cams. Interesting thought nonetheless.

    No gain with LTs on a blown 2v -suggestions?

    Yeah I'm gonna do that, but I'll be shaking my head the whole time confused over this boost vs airflow thing.

    No gain with LTs on a blown 2v -suggestions?

    Yes it was dynoed. But the "before dyno" was from 3 years ago -the last time Kauffmans tuned it. Since then, the only change was a gear swap (3.73-> 4.10s). The "after dyno" was immediately after the longtube install. After tuning to the same A/F and timing, it showed about 15 rwhp/15 rwtq...

    No gain with LTs on a blown 2v -suggestions?

    Less boost because less restriction and more airflow. More airflow should give more power, but it doesn't. That's the mystery I'm trying to understand.

    0-110 mph acceleration in a blown 2v

    I've beaten a lot of KB cobras at the dragstrip. They usually trap 1-2 mph though.
