    stopleak in a t5?

    I just did my T-5 about a month ago. I had never done a manual tranny before and I would say it was way easy to do. Its very simple. I also put a king cobra clutch kit in. If its time to get a rebuild; I used Astro Performance Warehouse, they have free shipping on all parts. They have a...

    351w Swap 1990

    351 in summit I was looking at the 351w in the summit catalog. I know it has a higher deck are there any other differences? Does everything from a 302 block bolt on to a 351? Does the stock 302 wiring work with the 351? Are they harder to tune than the 302?

    They are unbelievable. They sent me the wrong parts and tell me its my fault. Im going through small claims court with it. What I dont understand is why would they not take the parts back?

    I Was Owned By Ls1

    The sad truth is most Mustang owners cant drive, and dont know how to mod their cars, therefore, they have to bolt on all the go fast parts to run the times. I dont know how many H/C/I cars I have beat who should be going much faster. Again I cant control how slow other people go. Its...

    I always thought the advantage was the 6 spd chevy uses. What is the gear ratio in the 6spd LS1? I drove a Sentra SER specv with a 6spd and it felt like just that, 6 forward gears. When I shifted it into 6th it didnt feel like a OD gear. What im trying to say, would the Fox bodied car hold up...

    Fox bodied 302's were old technology by the time the LS1 came on the scene. Ford should have came out with the factory SC long ago.

    I would take the $8,000 and put it down on a 2003 or 04 cobra. I would then go and hunt down Z06's. :D

    Shopping for new 5spd

    Installed the new cltch and trans. I just installed a king cobra clutch kit and installed a rebuilt t-5 trans. I love the new clutch. I can chirp third without even pushing the engine past 4000 rpms. Second gear snaps my head back. I guess my old parts were really shot to hell. I got the...

    emmision tube removal questions

    How much HP for smog removal? Im going to be installing thumper heads soon and was doing a search to see if its worth it to take out the smog tubes and put in the thermactor plugs in the heads. How much HP will I gain? Is it worth it? The tight engine bay doesnt bother me much.
