    performance down sides to rear sway bar?

    i was wondering if there are any types of driving where no rear sway bar is better? i have also been hearing from lots of people that a rear sway bar would cause too much stiffness in my 66 fastback. btw, i already upgraded the front to 1" with mydolene bushings and WOW what a difference

    problems with valvetrain, do i have to pull the head?

    ive had a tick come from the engine for quite some time, i thought it was rocker arm adjustment (too much play), so i adjusted the valves, but couldnt rid the noise. then i tried replacing a push rod which looked bent. later, i noticed that one rocker arm was sliding around on the valve and...

    Car audio- NOT CUSTOM AUTOSOUND

    i have the 6.5" kickpanels and like the looks of em, but i recommend a 5.25" speaker. the problem is thta speakers like enclosures behind them and its hard for a 6.5 to sound any good in the kickpanel of a mustang. there is not much air volume behind the speaker. get some good crisp 5.25...

    Tuning engine, what to do/how to know when you're done?

    no, i meant units of measurement for the same guage, mine shows psi on the boost side (above 0) and inches of mercury on the vaccum side (below 0). its just the standard i guess

    Tuning engine, what to do/how to know when you're done?

    yeah, a vacuum guage is a good investment plus, when youre done tuning it, you cant put in in your dash and watch the negative boost go wild and why cant they use the same units for boost AND vacuum? inches of mercury and then psi??????

    I'm getting some free turbos...

    well a turbo is laod dependant whereas the s/c is rpm dependant. running down the freeway without overdrive will be torture with a s/c, but a turbo wont be making much boost since hwy driving is a light load. turbos increase exponentially as the engine revs up, but the s/c has a constant...

    I'm getting some free turbos...

    first of all, the idea of using 8 turbos for each cylinder is completely inefficient. there would be too much loss in heat due to the fact that there is so much gap between exhaust pulses. if you do run turbos on the 289, run two. one is not very efficient for a v8, since there are two...

    How to get my 289 into the 13s

    I know guys with 289s that run 12s without NOS. One coupe that ran 12.8s had 3000stall, 4.11 gears, Alum. heads with 2.02 intakes, and a .500" cam. 3000 stall is a huge help to a reving engine, especially when the bottom end lacks torque. Even a 2200 stall would help a lot. Getting the right...
