    Gear swap...

    I specified the gear ratio when I bought my superchip a couple months ago, along with the 80mm MAF. It doesnt affect my speedometer, I think its just for the shift points through the transmission. I might take everything apart today since I dont work til tomorrow and add a shim to see if the...

    Gear swap...

    I havent gotten the driveshaft, ext. tail housing, or the speedo gear; Ill probably start on all that next month. I'll be checking out that shop next month also if the noise persists. Ive got a feeling it will involve the bearings since I had no grease to pack them, only the gear oil to get...

    NPI to PI swap kits...

    Im looking at a couple sites online who offer a complete bolt-on kit with built heads, intake manifold, and all related parts neccessary to do the job. I hear patriot had some issues with their head internals going south, who else offers kits like this, preferably with headwork and...

    best plenum?

    I have a hand ported factory plenum with a accufab 75mm TB on it, I think Im going to get the matching plenum later on as the money comes in. As I recall someone (MM&FF?) did a test and found the Accufab 70mm TB and matching plenum made the most power.

    Crossroads..

    3.73's is what I would do, you wouldnt feel much from 3.55's and 4.10's would probably be a little over the edge for a daily driver. 3.73's have been popular forever, and theres a reason why. Just thinking about it already has me smelling gear oil again...

    Gear swap...

    Job is finished, although when I took it around for a test drive it began howling after it warmed up, and only when I let up off the gas and let it coast. Hopefully it will go away, if it doesnt by the time the 500 mile break-in is up then Ill take it to a shop and have things fixed/replaced as...

    Gear swap...

    I started last night and got down to the diff, this morning I pulled the diff and found I did not have the right tool to get the pinion gear out. Now I need to go to the store and get a BFH, not like my deadblow but something solid steel to knock the bastard out. For anybody out there doing...

    Turbo vs. Supercharger?

    Theres a ton of superchargers out there for v8's, making them a cheaper and more reliable source of FI to your motor...there isnt much on the market for turbo setups on stangs making them more expensive and there isnt much R&D out for many of the turbos, Id suggest go supercharger unless you...

    My stock cats are toast! Need advice on H or X pipe, please!

    Go grab a x-pipe with cats and install o2 eliminators, many states only check obd sensors to see if theyre tripped, if they dont sniff the pipe then they wont have anything to suspect when they run a check on your system if they ever go bad again.

    Long Tubes vs. Equal Lengths

    Id rather run long tubes anyday over any other headers, I also want to run cat's to keep my car somewhat emmissions legal. Too bad SLP doesnt make any long tube headers or a x pipe to go along with that catback for the 5.0 stangs.

    Front Suspension Setups

    This is starting from stock, Im building a new car. Im looking at a couple 5 link setups now, havent decided there either. Maximum Motorsports doesnt look that bad either, $4000 for a full front and rear package, not a bad deal...

    351 intake options...

    I might go with the trick flow, its the best flowing from the box so Im told, still gonna get the lower port matched to the afr heads.

    Front Suspension Setups

    Chromemoly is a must this time, I checked griggs, I dont know if I wanna fork $2500 for a front end, Im already spending that much on a t56 swap and about the same for a 9" rear.

    Can I install lowering springs myself?

    Thoe flat part of the spring goes up, the open coil part goes down, and the doughnut looking isolator goes on the top side, dunno about the piece of metal, spare parts I guess. :D

    HP question for all you Techy's

    They said that it added about 100hp, which is a rough number, given that most drivetrains suck about 25-30% of the power, the power gained to the wheels would be more like 70hp. But, if you swap that onto a crate motor that is built with higher flowing heads and intake, the blower would be able...

    351 intake options...

    I want to run a 351w short block with some afr 185's and a ATI psc-1 blower, I was thinking the other day though, that if the 351 block has a taller deck height wouldnt that space the heads farther apart? And since most intake manifolds like the Holley systemax one Im looking at are made for a...
