    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Made ~340rwhp on the dyno on a smaller shot and ran 12.02@114mph. Changed the pills since then. So, ~370+ rwhp on spray now, as it sits, but I think theres another 20 rwhp in tuning. And, 450 - 500 rwhp somewhere in the future on the next build.

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Torque Steer: I noticed last week that black jack's rear is torque steering. When on the throttle, I have to correct the steer by maybe 5 degrees in the steering wheel, and when I get back out of it, I have to go back the other way. So, I climbed under the car and looked at everything in the...

    MT ET street R bias

    Sounds like a plan. Torque box reinforcements soon, then I'll order the stiff sidewall 26s.

    Upgrading to SN95 steering rack

    The boys in Charlotte have Father Time again for paint correction. I asked them to address the burned boot & PS fluid leak from the rack, and they just HMU with it's leaking internally. So, and I don't know if I was smart or dumb for this, but I nabbed this Ford-reman'd 99+ rack off of Ebay...

    Post pics of how your foxbody currently sits

    Hell, I'm trying to make it through a week with cousins & uncles, and miss the peace and solitude of my home. Kids and dogs are chaos machines.

    Considering widening my rear wheels, would like to verify my thoughts on fitment

    Learnin' somethin' new every day. Didn't have to fit the wheels on Grover with the TA & PHB.

    Considering widening my rear wheels, would like to verify my thoughts on fitment

    Did someone mention 6.5" backspacing is about right in a 10?

    Considering widening my rear wheels, would like to verify my thoughts on fitment

    275s on a 9" wheel are fine. On a 10" wheel works, too. From what I gather, the more square the better the traction in a straight line and the corners. So, you're not wrong for wanting to do it, even if a bit obsessive, but hey... that's called having a hobby.

    Mustang5L5’s progress thread - Rear window fun

    R12 was awesome. I miss it, but early on Black Jack did amazingly well with R-134 until I screwed things up trying to learn A/C. After the pickup truck hit me and crumpled the hatch a bit, I took an insurance pay out and started looking for a replacement hatch, rather than straightening...

    Low RPM jerking

    E303 bucks at 1,400 and below. This may be somewhat tuneable, as I've had it where I could lope along lower when I played around with things, but after more adjustments, it's bucking there and lower again. If you're at 1,500 RPM and above, then I'd say you're probably right about your concerns.

    MT ET street R bias

    Back ttt. When I was interested before, it was for Father Time, and I did end up with the MT stiffwall 28"x11.5W , on 15" beadlock wheels. Still don't have any real seat time, but that's about to change. Father Time is basically ready to go, and I'm hoping to get it out on those tires, this...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    M/T recommends a stiff wall slick for stick cars, heavier cars, and high powered cars. That's what I got for Father Time, because it'll make 1100 rwhp. On Black Jack, I'm actually thinking soft sidewall is the way to go. Black Jack may eventually push 500 rwhp, but right now it's making well...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Back from school: I'm back from what  should be my last for-credit academic environment in the Army, and hopefully ever. If I never see the inside of a classroom again, it'll be too soon. Anyways, I traveled back & forth on the 400-mile round trip 4 times, and other than a minor coolant leak...

    Progress Thread Jewel Green street/strip 92 LX progress thread

    I'm not using a drag pan. I'll be using the T-sump style road race oriented pan. That said, I would play around with that, watching data logs on my oil pressure to make sure it never loses any.

    Progress Thread Jewel Green street/strip 92 LX progress thread

    Sweet update! Glad the heart work went well and you got through the tough months. I'm planning a t-sump canton pan in my next build with a windage tray and crank scraper. Did you do a scraper, too?
