    Ground pounder suspension...

    tom is correct... the more force you are putting on them the more you need to step into at the very least delrin if not a complete spherical joint like he listed above. GP systems are nothing great, but can be usable under near stock conditions. i have read a handfull of threads about people...

    Rear control arm differences and bushings

    you can get replacement bushings from the maker of the LCA... more the likely steeda. MM, SS, granatelli, and i believe metco all use tube LCAs... while steeda i think is one of, if not the only, company that uses square tubing. secondly, if its an aftermarket LCA i seriously doubt its...

    4v combos

    that sounds about right... the guys over at SVT performance suggest FR500 or type R heads, comp cams, ported intake (or fr500 if you have the cash), billett flow TB, JLT or Demolet CAI, and full basani exhaust with a good tune for over 400 to the ground. if you dont want to piece your car...

    Drag suspension

    thats about it. you can also go for drag springs if you want. but metco uppers and MM lowers would be good with the lakewoods. for mild, thats about it. Torinalth

    What exactly is porting an Eaton????

    porting an eaton does several things, but the main one is to increase inside displacement and shape/round the entry and exit areas of the blower to limit turbulance in the blower housing. doing this increases the cases flow rate and allows for better power... kinda like porting heads. you...

    Steering drift problem

    bearings go out anywhere from 70k on.... mine started at around 95k but putting it off till i pay off my new laptop. i'd also look into the bushing in the steering shaft to see if its gone bad and is allowing for slop in the steering. other options would be tie rod ends for sure... and...

    Suspension Tech's/Guru's Advice and Help

    honestly i dont understand the use of the 5 link... i was heavily looking into it at first, when i realized its just a slight correction for the UCA setup, and an attachment to the differential.... all in all a good theory, but way too many moving pieces for me to be comfortable with. short...

    Transmission Possibilities (What would you do?)

    do yourself a favor and get a TKO... dont bother with a T5, t45, or god forbid the 3650... get a good, proven, strong, highly recommended tranny from the start... TKO would be lowest i go with. my 3650 is getting harder and harder to shift... synchros are going out and the forks are not too...

    Which 13" rotors!?!??!?!

    you prolly talked to josh at SS, great guy to deal with. ask him if he has any promotions running for brakes (he always does) and see if you can knock off 10-20 bucks (or free shipping) Ask him who builds his rotots... i think its the same guys that make power slot to be honest. Josh has...

    4.6 cobra conversion

    the GT block can be used, but you will need to alter the oil runners i believe. and a 5.4... well... completely different animal. any 5.4 or 4.6 can and will bolt to a T56 (assuming you have the ford bell housing from tremec [also assuming you are using tremec]). if going with a...

    Educate me on 4.6L turbo systems

    and what do collector plates do for you? not seeing how this will eliminate emissions testing... or are you just saying you dont haev it in your area. and KB cars will pass, sure, as they dont screw with anything exhaust side. I've been toying with this idea my self, but have been reluctant...

    not a pro, but some insight. as stated NPI are the 96-98 PI are from 99-04. the difference is the heads, cams, and intake manifold. the NPI setup made 225 HP and 305 Tq, while the PI put down 260/300. the heads were redone to allow more flow numbers, cams reground for more duration, and the...
