    Will This Exhaust Support 750rwhp On A Boosted Motor?

    When I was looking at doing a 525ish hp n/a 306 build, someone very knowledgeable(and well known) was recommending 1-3/4" headers min. (1-7/8" if top end was more important) and full 3" exhaust. You're looking to make over 200hp's more, and "forcing" even more atmosphere into the equation. So...

    Found This Car?

    she's pretty alright... pretty scary... wonder why the guy wants to unload it after just one year of ownership... betting the last year was a nightmare of stranded cruises and towing bills.

    T-5 Shifter

    Always heard the Pro5 base with Steeda handle was the cat's meow. I like my Hurst Billet with long handle, but admit to never trying anything else. Seems a lot of hype around the MGW (something like that). If I were to try any other shifter, it would be the Pro5 with either the Steeda handle or...

    Stop Saying Car Exhausts Need Back Pressure

    Currently, F150 w/ 3.5 ecoboost... work truck, rubber floors etc., construction special. But, I'll never forgive myself for selling my '69 F250 factory 390 truck... with that 390 warmed up and at 398cu.in. and the C6 worked over a little... loved that truck.

    Stop Saying Car Exhausts Need Back Pressure

    Not the way I understand it, nor the way the video described it. You are describing resistance in you explanation, not back pressure, otherwise, agree. Yes, not to be confused with resistance tho... and velocity is more dependent upon diameter of exhaust pipe. The back pressure you describe...

    Gear Drives!!!

    I was always told that gear drives were never relevant... something to do with harmonics. C'n'L got a bad rap thru internet myths. First thing my tuner asked was "you don't have a ProM do you?" when I told him no, have a C'n'L I was waiting for the lecture and was quite surprised when he was...

    Looks At This Car On Craigslist

    I don't know... even the radio and plug wires are stock... Someone will pay 10,500, no doubt in my mind, so, offering 7500 is a bit jackolantern in my book. Let's be honest, 10,500 is not much money when looking at car prices today, and to find a 5.0 that is stock (reliable) is getting harder...

    I've had some truely POS cars in my days, oddly, the first "nice" car i every bought I ended up hating the most. '89 Beretta GT... got swindled by the salesman who talked me out the the Turbo Coupe I went to look at. After a few months I realized this was not the car for me, but, also realized...

    Stop Saying Car Exhausts Need Back Pressure

    Well, they do benifit from back pressure, what folks cannot understand is that back pressure is not resistance, it's actually the exact opposite. That, is the amazing thing... even tho thoroughly explained in the video, youtube comments kept using the term "back pressure" when they were actually...

    Exhaust Options

    Out the fender, for a street car goes right along with mullets, flatbills with the stickers on 'em and bro-dozers. At some point we all look back and say "WTF were we thinking?"

    Lowered Street Foxbody...torque Arm Yes Or No?

    I'm no suspension expert, but, I though running a panhard bar and upper arms was a recipe for bind... ?? Works in my solid axle jeep because the upper arms are not "triangulated". Learn me.

    Progress Thread Grover: Window motor replacement & OEM rebuild

    pretty cool... 16 years later and it's in your name. 20lbs of boost yanked, guess that should do it. Pro3i... what ever happened to them? I got the same rear lowers, and, Kevin $ was recommending them back in the day. (coincidentally, that was also 2002).

    Winter

    automatic or standard? I'll run the DR's on the street, where I'm not dumping the clutch at 6k rpms, but, at the track no thanks. DR's are way too violent with a typical street oriented clutch in a standard at the track. At the track they either; 1. spin and do not recover, which is fine for...
