    Clutch Recommendations

    If you want a soft clutch, I would look into this McLeod Racing - New Products for 2011 Suppose to be a good fit and finish product, then you can fun any clutch you really want. I have heard good things about RAM, Mcleod, Centerforce and the clutch I run a Luke ProGold (racing division).

    max hp and tq???

    For the heads are they ported like you want, because they will cost about 500 to 800 to have a local shop port them. Or about $1200 on a trade in program. For timing parts do you have the Romeo? Because the 5.4 is a Windsor block and they have pressed on timing gears they you can not use on...

    clutch noise video

    What I mean is if i have the radio off and start to engage the clutch and add pre-load to the drive train under excessive load such as starting on a hill. When I release the clutch right after engaging, I can hear the u-joints in the drive shaft unload. Its hard to hear if you are not looking...

    clutch noise video

    Is this a new clutch or is it stock original, I ask because maybe your Pressure plate is going bad. I had a fidanza 2.1 clutch that had a bad pressure plate when I bought it and it made weird engagement noises. The banging you hear, is it when you push the clutch in and the engine is under...

    T45 problem - Please Help diagnose

    I got my T45 rebuilt with HD parts for $900 out the door. It shifts differently though then before it was rebuilt, much more positive gear changes. It has gotten easier to shift over time (reduced stiffness) as I put more miles on the car (about 3500 since rebuild). I wanted to rebuild it so i...

    clutch noise video

    If you had the clutch adjusted too tight, the TOB will be constantly riding on the pressure plate fingers, which wears it out rather quickly. You want approx 1/4" space between the TOB and the pressure plate fingers when the clutch is fully released. You say you can spin it freely, but how...

    SFC's

    MM told me when I talked to them that the install should take around 2 to 3 hours. Depending what the shop rate is, the money can start adding up. Plus would you rather someone rush on the install or take their time and do it right?

    SFC's

    The shop that will be doing the install quoted me $150 to $200 for the entire job. That was rather low, most shops wanted $150 a side.

    Weird noise in exhaust

    Why are you running an 8 rib pulley when the rest is 6 rib? You know that the belt is still slipping a ton right? To get the advantage of an 8 rib traction you must run all 8 rib pulleys. Belt looks a little worn too, probably from slipping. If I were you, I would sell the 8 rib pulley and get...

    Weird noise in exhaust

    I call it a ricer number because 18lbs of boost sounds cool and if you were making 18lbs of boost you would be in the low 700 hp range, which you are not(dyno sheet need to prove it) A non-intercooled setup like you have, running "18lbs" of boost, would be a blow torch into your engine. Do...

    Detailing 101

    Paste wax vs. liquid wax, which do you all prefer? I am a paste wax fan, since I apply by hand, no money for power tools. I have tried liquid (cheap stuff) and don't like it as much.

    2011 V6s are gonna piss me off I know it

    I payed $6500 out the door on my car, a bone stock highly optioned 2000 Gt with 81K on the clock. The dealer wanted 10K, told him I would give him half that and we worked up to $6500. He got the car as a trade in for $5500. So he made money and I saved money. Deals are out there. Back on topic...
