    Compucar nitrous sytem

    Anybody ever heard of compucar nitrous systems? They sell what seems like a nice wet kit for 5.0 mustangs and brand new its only $400. Just curious if anyone has dealt with them and knows anything about their kits at all? Thanks in advance.

    DOING HEAD SWAP AND HG REPLACEMENT, NEED SOME WISE INSIGHT

    claying the pistons is laying modeling clay on one of the pistons. Assemble the head and turn the motor over by hand. Remove the head and measure the clay and see how much clearance you have between the piston and the valve. Its pretty simple and works well.

    Future Upgrades... H/C/I.. Supercharger..??

    You will be fine with the stock block and a supercharger. As said above 500 rwhp seems to be about the limit for the stock block. If you keep it around 450 rwhp you will be fine. The thing with the H/C/I is that one day if you supercharge it with the H/C/I you will be able to make the...

    Whats next?

    Well I am a fan of turbo's myself. I did a custom twin turbo install on my 91 GT I use to have and nothing beats the power or sound of a turbo. I however would not go with another twin setup. Too much plumbing and not enough positive outcome from the twins. I would just go with a nice single...

    Hypertech I didn't know about. What do I do?

    I took the chip out and I can't seem to notice a difference. It almost seems to have better throttle response now with the chip out. I just pulled codes tonight before I came to work with the chip out and no code 15. YAY. I think I am gonna leave it out for a few days and see what I think...

    I need some serious help or something..

    If you didn't use teflon tape on the lower head bolts then this is your problem. The lower row of head bolts go into the water jacket and without the teflon tape you get a coolant leak. I can almost guarantee this is your problem. You might be able to get way with pulling the lower head bolts...

    eibach front drag springs

    If your going to go with drag springs I would think you would want the full set of 4 to be drag springs. They are designed for max weight transfer so the front will come up really hard and the back will squat really hard to get all that weight on the rear tires. Not running the drag springs in...

    I need some serious help or something..

    You could have a bad headgasket or TB gasket and it is ingesting coolant? I would check those first before you assume the block is cracked.

    Hypertech I didn't know about. What do I do?

    Ok. So I had a code 15 being thrown which is the KAM code for the computer saying the KAM is not working. This is either from not getting 12V or from a chip. I tore out the computer finally and guess what. I do have a hypertech chip. Its the standard Street runner chip Part #689021. It...

    constant 12V to ECU

    So I just took my ECU out and guess what I found? Yep. A hypertech chip. So I guess thats why I was getting my code 15 thrown and why it detonates if I don't use 93 octane fuel. Now, what should I do? Leave the chip or take it out and run the stock computer? Its the standard Street...

    Future Upgrades... H/C/I.. Supercharger..??

    It all depends on how you want to make power. If you want to go the blower route then as kevins89notch said a blower will make you a lot of power in stock trim. Some people like me would rather make decent numbers N/A as some find it more respectable but its all personal preference. Or you...

    Whats next?

    I think you would be just fine. In 88 the 5.0's have forged pistons so your fine. The weakest point of the motor currently would be the block itself. It seems that around 500 rwhp is when the blocks start to break. Thats why I said don't go over 475. If you want to be extra conservative...

    Whats next?

    If you have an unlimited amount of funds then I agree with you. Go ahead and boost it now via either supercharger or turbo. While you are in the process of breaking it go ahead and build yourself another motor. A low compression 331 or 347 and after the stock motor goes put that new motor in...

    Clutch Issue... Help!!

    Could possibly be the clutch cable. The cable inside the sheath can get gummed up and not want to slide properly, escpecially if it sees a lot of heat. This will cause a stiff cable. Do you have the stock plastic quadrant? I am not 100% on this but I if you do have the stock quadrant still...

    Future Upgrades... H/C/I.. Supercharger..??

    whoops. Guess I was a little off on the price. Pretty close though. As others will tell you the AFR heads are nice too but with the TFS you get everything you need to do the swap which is a + in my book.

    Future Upgrades... H/C/I.. Supercharger..??

    My first H/C/I setup I used was the complete TFS setup. It comes with the TW heads, TFS stage 1 cam, TFS lower and upper intake, trickflow 1.6 roller rockers, new timing gear set and chain, new pushrods, complete gasket set, and TFS valve covers. The setup through summint is 2345.00 for the...
