    Build Thread 1978 Mercury Cyclone. The pig is in the pen.

    Considering I last left off at page 198 and it's now page 204 I figured it would be done by now :stick: Kidding aside, the car is seriously turning out to be an incredible piece! Nicely done Mike, can't wait to see the finished product

    Progress Thread Project 2015 Gt: Waiting For New Go Fast Parts

    So the 2015 is finally done and waiting to be tuned with the 3.15 blower pulley and long tube headers. I even drove it down the driveway last night! Part of the reason it has taken so long is most of my time recently has been spent working on this hoagie:

    Exhaust Or Tune

    I personally like the Corsa exhaust on these cars. I would opt for the exhaust first and then the tune in my opinion

    So all in all we had a stellar weekend! After only 3 passes we had a career best 4.98 pass. We then followed that up with a pass Saturday night that was soooo epic. 1.17 60' 4.99@140 to the 1/8th all while riding a 300+ foot wheelie and pedaling the car. I will get a link to the video here...

    Rotational Torque And Weight Transfer = Manual Transmission Shift Issues

    The shifter is mounted to the body, not the transmission... I have seen most of the issues clear up with a shifter such as bartons that is mounted directly to the trans. This does however increase NVH

    '16 Gt Problems With Bama Tune

    Personal opinion disclaimer* The following opinion is all mine :) Bama in my personal first hand experience is lack luster. They do not put forward the time and effort as some of the other tuners. I am not surprised to hear your results, I have heard the same story and worse in many cases...

    Eibach Sportlines Or H&r Super Sport Springs For S550 ?

    I prefer the H&R springs over Eibach personally. The sport lines are a bit too low for my liking. I had a set and sold them

    Paint and Body Hood Flexing Over 50mph

    This isn't an uncommon complaint with these cars. I would visit your dealer to see if they can adjust the bump stops under the hood to take the flex out.

    Oil Pump Gears Or Harmonic Balancer?

    No way! It's about 600$ in parts and the motor will be solid as a rock afterwards. The crate motors for the most part still have the same Achilles heel with the sprocket. If you're doing headers and all that at the same time it will cut down on some of the labor. Honestly, the oil pump...
