    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    I've had the control arms for about 2,000 miles and about 15 runs at the track. I don't think the bushings can handle the 500 hp I'm throwing at them. For cost reasons, I'm going to order just the bushings for now. However, I'm probably going to switch up to the MM XD lowers as they are...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    Well I just got the car off the lift and discovered some distubing damage! All of my bushings are shot! The lower control arm bushings took it the worst. One of them is actually in half. The other one is close to gone too. The upper control arm bushings are in the best shape, but they are on...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    trinity... Awesome exlpanation and it totally makes sense... I am going to head over to my shop this weekend and throw it on the lift. I'll let everyone know my results... The car definitely has rear-steer under accelleration and then snaps back when releasing the gas. With the amount of power...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    My mechanic advised me that the quad shocks won't cause that dramatic of a "push / pull" during on/off accelleration, but I think your right... I'll bet since he removed them (not sure why), it put that additional side-to-side stress on the control arm bushings and wore them out... I'm going to...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    Upper and Lower control arms have been replaced "MAC". Eiback Pro-kit springs and shocks.. Everything else is stock... I did replace the gear with a 3:73 (ring / pinion), but otherwise, no changes... It seems to be getting worse as I drive more and more... We removed the quad shocks as well...

    What is loose? Torque steer?!

    When I hit the gas, my car pulls to the right... As soon as I get off the gas, it makes a dramatic correction and almost throws me into on-coming traffic... Even when I accelerate slightly, I can feel it... What should I check?

    I'm Baaaacckkkkk!!

    Yeah, once again, it's been a long time since I've been on this site due to the car being in hibernation for the winter. Well, spring is almost here and I think it's time for wheels. Since its been so long since I even visited any Mustang wheel sites, I have no clue what the "best" wheel site...

    315/35/17's

    I am getting 315's with my 18" FR500's (10"). What Aspect Ratio am I looking for? 30? 315/30/18? I have the MAC cat back on my car and removed the quad shocks long ago.

    Fr500's Finally On! BF GOOdy's KDW NT, lots of PICs

    Very nice... That should save me about $2,000. I was going with the SSR GT3's until I saw these wheels. I may have to make a purchase..

    Fr500's Finally On! BF GOOdy's KDW NT, lots of PICs

    They really are some gorgeous wheels... Does anyone have pictures of those on a 95-98 body? I am seriously considering a set.

    Update on the body work *pics*

    Yo dude... Your going to get your balls busted by the cops for not having a front tag. I hope your prepared for that. I can't even get my car tinted without getting pulled over. Jersey sucks with that crap...

    Tuned 2Vs: What's your ignition timing at?

    For comparison, I am blown with 15 pounds of boost and methanol injected. My timing is set through the computer at 18o... When I was N/A I was at 24-26o....

    Time for new brakes... What are your favorite?!

    Help me with my research here. I originally was going to pick up the Baer Eradispeed kit for the front and back, but don't want to commit until I hear your opinions on any other brands that may either save me some money, or might perform a bit better.

    I'm baaaaaacckkkkkk... Blew my head gasket

    OK... I did some research on the intake manifold and it looks a bit like the Mach 1 intake. Do I need to replace the alternator and modify the top of the engine like the Mach 1 intake, or is it a direct replacement to my piece of crap plastic PI intake?

    I'm baaaaaacckkkkkk... Blew my head gasket

    Well, it turns out that I just blew a heater hose. However, I am still ordering the heads. I was originally considering the MPH 2.5 heads since the seem to have the best every day driveability. So, I'll also do a bit of research on the trickflow intake as well. Thanks!

    I'm baaaaaacckkkkkk... Blew my head gasket

    So, now that I have a reason to remove the heads, which new heads should I get. I am also changing the intake manifold. I am going full bore this time. I have PI heads now... Still pushing about 500 to the wheels (before the head gasket went on me). I haven't done much research lately. Any...

    Pro 5.0 vs. MGW short throw shifter

    I do have a TKO 600 tranny though. Does MGW make the handles for that? I believe I am going to order one tomorrow. Thanks for all your information guys. I actually bought my Pro 5.0 before MGW even made shifters. I am ready for a change.
