    Flywheel Help.

    When you remove the flywheel, take a careful look at it. Mine definitely had hot spots and stress cracks. I too wanted to do a simple resurface to save money, but realized it wasn't worth it. If you have stress cracks, resurfacing the flywheel makes them non-visible (assuming they are surface...

    Throwout Bearing Question

    Ok, hopefully we can settle something with this thread. I just did a clutch job on my car, got it all back together. I ASSUMED the throwout bearing is not supposed to contact the pressure plate at all times, therefore so it doesn't spin 100% of the time, thus increasing its service life...

    Engine Looking For A Mean N/a Recipe

    You'll get a lot of different opinions on this, some including don't waste the $. Simple, yet effective: stock block, cobra crank, forged rods (stock Coyote as mentioned, or MMR makes a very affordable forged I-beam rated for 700ish), good set of pistons with reliefs (allowing for a larger cam...

    Clutch Or Trans?

    If the clutch fork is wobbling, the input shaft is either bent, or the shaft, clutch disk or pressure plate are not lined up properly, or the flywheel is warped. Get it fixed ASAP, if something is out of balance it can come apart with some serious force.

    What Tire Pressure Are You Guys Running?

    Usually 36-38psi up front (245/45/17) and 32-34psi out back (315 Sumitomos) and they honestly would wear better at 28-30psi.

    How To Wake Up An Old Gt?

    Nothing wrong with that. The good thing about a gear install is that it's very easy to knock all that out at once since everything has to come apart anyway to properly install a set of gears. Your looking at anywhere from $140-$180ish for the gears, about $120 for a full bearing kit plus...

    How To Wake Up An Old Gt?

    Definitely gears... if you do, get a full rebuild kit and replace all the bearings (including axle bearings) and rebuild the limited slip as well. Lots go with 4.10's, lots go with 3.73's. Either is fine depending on what you like. If you do a lot of highway driving, 3.73's are more kind to...

    Clutch Making A Whoosing Sound

    That's a throwout bearing on it's last legs. Mine did that and eventually seized. Was it a FRPP TOB or the clutch brand TOB? I'd yank it, replace it with an FRPP unit and do the pilot bearing while you're in there.

    Changing Transmission Tailshaft Seal?

    Got a replacement seal, old one doesn't want to come out easy. Any tips/tricks? I've heard you can use a flathead, but can't seem to find a spot to get leverage.

    99 Gt Swapped With 05 Interceptor

    In the Mustang, it should make identical power. The power reduction in the CV engine comes from the intake, exhaust and tune. Internally they are the same.

    2008 E-250 4.6

    6 or 8 bolt crank? I don't know if they still used 8-bolt Windsors for the truck/van 2v's up until that point or not. Internally it should be pretty much the same as a GT 2v... power difference comes from the intake manifolds, exhaust system and computer tuning.

    Does Anyone Know Why Exhaust Prices Have Shot Up?

    Basic reasons: 1: Demand. The car scene is growing. People want the parts and are willing to pay for them. The companies know this, and if they have a strong following/reputation, they can raise the prices and not lose customers. 2: Materials costs and shipping. Where a company gets its...

    New Track Videos

    Dude, awesome. Our cars ran nearly identical times (similar 60'... 1.93 here) and identical MPH on a 100 shot. That's awesome. Sweet runs... mine definitely ran a lot harder on a 125 shot. Clutch couldn't handle it so I had the same ET but gained around 2mph.

    Prw Flywheels? Reccomend Me A Flywheel!

    Is that by chance Brother's Performance? If so, can you shed some light about the Brother's brand flywheel? From what I've gathered it's made by PRW as well, but less expensive.
