    Can I do this myself? Trying to save money..

    Nah, the drag launch kit comes with all 4. I dunno, if i'm gonna have to spend money on jack and jackstands and risk death (ok so maybe that one can be avoided) i might just ask my mechanic what he charges first. I guess that would be the smart way...Thanks for all tips, keep em coming if...

    Can I do this myself? Trying to save money..

    cool so i guess the only things i'll need to pick up are a spring compressor and jackstands (we have an impact wrench already). Can someone point me in the direction of a good spring compressor to buy? I dont need anything fancy, just something that'll do the job and keep me safe as this might...

    Can I do this myself? Trying to save money..

    Mods: I wasn't sure if this was considered tech so if its not, i'm sorry, please move it :) So, Yesterday i got my springs, struts, and subframes in. In a few days i'll be getting my upper and lower control arms as well as my shocks. I was planning on taking it to a shop and spending...

    Question about stock '93 5.0

    The published figures for the 1993 model were lower than the previous years (87-92). However, these figures reflect only the fact that Ford changed its rating system, not actual output. Thus, in reality, it has the same output as previous years yet is rated lower. I think the published figure...

    Raced a vette...traction questions

    What kind of tire? Those lowering springs certainly wont help matters, but with a good tire (drag radial) and the control arms i think you might be ok. You'll probably just have to go do some testing to be sure.

    Input Shaft Bearing? Aweful noise..and not T/O.

    Ok guys i really have to figure out what is up with my car. Ever since i've had it (since about last may) if i'm sitting in nuetral and do not have the clutch pushed in, i hear this whinning noise..like wirring. Fairly loud, if i walk across the yard i can hear it along with the exhaust...

    hahahahahahaha.....Classic. -GM p.s. yeah i'd just try some way to put them in the back, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Maybe it'll help traction or something heh.

    Spend $5,000 to modify this car...

    So exactly how fast do you want it? How much money will go to motor and how much to suspension? It will be easier to answer then.

    Why do some guys combos just run so great??

    From what i've read and heard, elevation makes a HUGE difference. Also some people just have factory freaks. Some have done tons of weight reduction, etc etc. Lots of factors like that...weight, driver, weather, elevation, maybe they forgot to list something etc. Hope when i get to go to the...

    Am i doing the right thing? (suspension first)

    Oh and by the way, cleanLX, those times are amazing! Man that car is light...When you say other wise factory origional...i'm assuming you mean just power and drive wise right? What all did you do to lighten it? I think i might go hardcore with mine and pull my mp3 player, speakers and...

    Am i doing the right thing? (suspension first)

    Ok, thanks so much to everyone for the replies. I've decided to go ahead and get it all. Here is my logic: If i dont do it now and i buy bolt ons and h/c/i or boost it, then i'm gonna spin until i get some suspension mods. I'd hate to tell people i have h/c/i and be running 13s just...

    This must be the wrong CAI!!!

    it looks like a MAC cai but i'm sure most brands look alike. Looks like maybe someone took a mac kit and improperly installed it or tried to use one from the wrong model of car.

    Are 24# injectors necessary for this?

    thanks a lot for the replies. Yeah i realize iwill need a recalibrated maf for the 24s which is one of the reasons i'm asking. I do plan on getting an AFPR so i guess i'll be ok. However if i come across a good deal i might pick em up. Thanks again, and any more replies are appreciated as...

    Hey guys now that i''ve decided on my suspension setup (i'll be ordering in a week or two!!!! Solid mid/low 13s here i come!) i'm working on a list of bolt ons/small performance upgrades to buy. My plans for the car are this: It'll have full drag suspension and all the usual bolt ons and...

    Best way to spend 3 grand on motor???

    I guess it all depends on what you're wanting to do. I think a GT40 crate motor goes for slightly over 3000, rated around 345hp i think. Going that way would give you a high quality, brand new motor, already putting out some nice numbers. OR, if it isn't a huge deal to you to have a brand new...
