    I want to go turbo!?

    They pretty much summed it up. It'd be hard for me to justify spending all the dough on a turbo + supporting mods, for such a small gain you'll get. Unless an aftermarket block is in the near future. With the 9:1 pistons, and 6psi, you would prolly make ~550whp. Who knows, it might last...

    I want to go turbo!?

    I would run the 9:1 piston. Your problem will be making too much power. Stock headed cars are making 400rwhp on 10psi. A H/C/I stroker will start pushing the limits of your block real quick. You may only get to run 5 or 6 lbs. On3 performance makes a nice kit for the money. If you want...

    bad idle,out of ideas

    What are the actual code #'s? Try spraying carb cleaner near all your vacuum hoses to check for leaks. What's your base idle set at? A lot of e cam cars need to idle around 900. When you swapped maf sensors, did you put another used one in? Try cleaning the meter. Also. With a cone...

    Head Boost ??

    Is this a dss shortblock or something? The main girdle won't do much but increase the chances of saving an expensive rotating assembly when the block let's loose. With the 10:1 I would just run a bigger wet shot on a intake spacer kit or something.

    About to lower my hatch... any suggestions?

    As far as air tools go. An impact comes in handy for dis-assembly. But I don't think any are required. Just like any other lowered car. It will depend on exhaust combo, and fitment at the headers (longtubes) and cat back. I've got a lot of clearance for as low as my car is. But that's only...

    I think my engine is TOAST! H/G? *vid*

    Depending on how severe a head gasket us blown, you'll push water out of the radiator with the cap off. Are you noticing the coolant level dropping with runtime? If the plug is oil fouling, I wouldn't suspect a head gasket. Like mustang5l5 said. Start on #4 and do a compression test.

    About to lower my hatch... any suggestions?

    Not using the isolaters isn't a big deal. I'm not running any on my car, and it doesn't squeak and groan.

    You talking about the tps box? Is there room on the back side of the strut tower?

    Any goals as far as power goes?

    Vid of car finally running!

    They are a little lopy. But the open longtubes really intensifies it.

    How paranoid are y'all about your Stang getting stolen?

    I worry more about my daily getting stolen ('00 civic si) then my fox. The mustang is gated. If they want it. They'll have to ask my psycho Labrador. He's not the social type. Lol.

    Car won't hold idle

    I've got it idling at 1,000 right now, no real change aside from it surging a little longer until it dies. I think I'm good on my dist., but I'll double check. Next up would be valve lash I guess. I'm using trick flow's 1.6's and the supplied pushrods. So are you just leaving the vacuum...

    Car won't hold idle

    Thanks to jrichker's persistent advice to change the lower intake gaskets, I did so. I found nothing out of the ordinary wrong. I put in the new gaskets, put everything back together. And guess what. It STILL doesn't run worth a ****! So that was a great waste of a Saturday and $60. What...

    Car won't hold idle

    Not bad enough to pull the lower. Im trying to eliminate any other possibility, so I don't pull it for no reason. Because I hate doing it with a passion.

    Car won't hold idle

    Update: Just out of curiosity, I pulled a plugged line off my vacuum tree, and the car runs fine. What would be causes for a car to run better with a big vacuum leak? I figured it was because of the extra air. So I opened the bridge between the ports on the IAC like suggested for cammed cars...

    2.73 rear gear

    Not to mention 2.73's lay lots of rubber down with the extra wheel speed. ;)

    Car won't hold idle

    At this point, it could be a possibility. I popped a head gasket with the T70 on the stock longblock right before doing the h/c/i. I do seem to have a lot of positive pressure out of my valve cover breather. (PCV blocked off). I'll have to do a compression test tomorrow and see what I come up with.

    Car won't hold idle

    Zero lash and then a half turn, with the valve closed.

    Car won't hold idle

    Well that was short lived, started the car this morning. Same old ****. I've got an idle AFR of ~14.5-15.0. Huge idle surge, and horrible drive ability. If this doesn't get resolved in the next month. I'm selling this piece of crap. It's been 9 months and $4,000 and i've only put 25 miles on...
