    Forced Induction Vortech With Out P/s.,ac,and Smog ?

    you might have to run a smog pump elim pulley like this http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/LRS-9486BL/79-95-Mustang-50L-Smog-Pump-Eliminator , but other than that its fine because the blower runs off of its own belt and the serpentine system still uses its own belt. the fox stuff is not...

    60ft Time Help

    I didn't even catch that is was the 275/60. it definatly needs a 26" tire, and probably at least a 3.73. that would help a bunch. I still think its laying down a bunch on the big end in mph from 1/8 to 1/4. I would check the valvesprings at full open and see how far they are away from coil bind...

    60ft Time Help

    are the springs correct for the cam? did you check the installed height and shim them correctly to get them .060-.080 from coil bind? if that intake is small like a cobra/gt40 that could be what is hurting it. those intakes are good for 500-600, if they are ported and running boost or nitrous...

    60ft Time Help

    at 83mph in the 1/8 I would expect it to pick up more on the back half. like 103-104. I think id put more gear/better converter in it. it seems to be laying over after the 1/8th. I would expect it to go very low 13s with that kind of 1/8th mile ET and mph. is the lower intake on those explorers...

    93 Fox Gt Vin # Too High?

    the VINs were assigned by when the car was ordered, not built. mine was ordered in early july of 93 so it has a 205xxx, but it wasn't built until Aug 6 according to my Marti Report. are you sure your car wasn't built in Aug of 92 with that VIN?

    Forced Induction Will A Turbo Effect Mileage?

    my 93 actually gained 2mpg on the highway with the turbo technology kit when the motor was stock back in the mid 90s. and that was after I went from a 3.08 to a 3.55 gear and I upped from stock injectors to 30s.

    Carb Tuning Issues

    does it have a power valve? if not that could be why it has so much jet on the secondary side. Stock jetting in my AED 750 HO modified is 72 on the primary side with a power valve and 84s on the secondary side with no power valve. it could be an air bleed issue too. I would call demon and get...

    What's The Right Cam???

    all the fast naturally aspirated cars run stock cams with 1.7 rockers....... or not. if the right cam doesn't pick one up you have other issues. those who say larger than stock cams don't help should also subscribe to the hypothesis that aftermarket heads don't do anything either because...

    Buy Complete Or Piece By Piece A Short Block

    the problem is if you specify a certain compression and they are using a shelf piston, you are gonna get whatever brand has the required dish, and if its a garbage piston then you have problems. if you want a specific piston, you are stuck with what they offer for shelf unless you want to go...

    if you ran a dish it would drop the compression a lot. with the 64cc chamber, if you had a typical flat top with 5cc valve reliefs, a fel pro 9333 that's .047 you would be at 11.5:1. with a typical 19cc dish you'd be at 10.1:1 with a .039 FP 1011-2. with the 22cc dish which is the another...

    with flatop and a 4" stroke with a 64cc chamber you are going to be in the mid to high 11:1 range. depending on your cam and timing you may or may not be able to run pump gas. your HG thickness will also effect it.

    I know for a fact AD performance does a great job. I started dealing with them a dozen years ago and have never had a problem. in the past 18 years ive seen shortblocks from all the places, and all have their occasional problems. I would either do AD, or since you are in CA get a CHP shortblock...

    Is My Main Bearings Within Specs?

    i go by the rule .001 per inch of journal diameter. if it were a cleveland or windsor main i would want more like .003 for the cleveland and about .0005 more for a windsor. but on a 2.25 302 main, id let .002 eat if its just gonna be a street motor. id like to see .0025, but i dont think you are...
