    H2O pump & fan help/suggestions...

    I've been thinking about picking up an electric water pump and a good fan(s). The Houston heat is killer in the summer and I'd like to keep my car as cool as possible and maybe pick up an hp or two. I'm looking for some suggestions or possibly a good place to purchase them from. I currently...

    finalizing my nitrous decision...help me out!

    I started with a dry shot, converted to wet, and then went with a direct port setup. With the dry shot on my stock shortblock I made 364/422. With my first built shortblock I converted to a wet shot and made 513/556 on a 200 shot. On the first run through the gears it backfired and blew my...

    Desperately need help with detonation problems

    Well its running great now. I made a trip to the shop this morning to have it closely looked at. When I got there he told me he wanted to try something first....swapping my TR6s for some TR8 iridium plugs($$$). I drove it around for a while and it ran great, and was even able to bump my...

    which stroker and why?

    Had I known more about the big bores, I might have gotten one instead of my stroker, but most likely the 324, lol. When I had a 347 in my last stang I had always heard about how unreliable a stroker was and now hear it as well with my modular, though I'll agree the modular doesn't look as...

    how much spray can the plastic intake take?

    I'd say you could get away with a 150 shot tuned properly and spraying at 3500+. I can tell you from experience that a 200 shot won't work. On the dyno it looked perfect but in the real world my intake blew to pieces the first time I ran it through the gears(racing a 427 C5). If you want a...

    Best Street Tire

    I've run nittos for about 5 years and last year swapped to the bfgs. The bfgs hook a good amount better but don't last at all. I also never had any issues driving in the rain with my nittos but the bfgs are a complete nightmare. Being a street car, I'll be going back to nittos real soon.

    99 KB GT or a 03/04 Cobra?

    I'm in the exact same boat as you. My car is starting to age and I'd love to have a sonic blue cobra. I'm either going to turbo mine, or get a cobra this summer and use the money I sell my car for to mod the cobra:shrug: However, you're in a better position than I, starting off basically...

    Got a Stroker?

    I've always heard the whole, "strokers" are bad thing. I was told the same thing with my 89 that had a 347 and was daily driven. Now on paper, the "issue" of strokers seems very possible, especially with the modulars. However, I have never actually heard of one breaking down due to its stroke...

    Thanks, right now its making 325+rwhp na and about 530/650 on the gas. Peak numbers are definately nice but I just love how it peaks early and stays flat past 6k.

    Bullitt Intake Port and Polish

    Mine is extrude honed. Many people argue against the bullit for na purposes but mine was well worth it. With most curves cars peak and then drop off. Mine peaks around 4900 and doesn't drop off till past 6. This is a dyno of a run before I installed the stroker....

    Fix your Slow dropping/hanging RPMs

    My experience.....on my last built shortblock I had an iac delete. With my stroker the tuner requested I keep it. Like many others with cams, I was experiencing my car stalling. With this part my car no longer dies. It also sounds ten times better. The only down side I have noticed is that...

    Desperately need help with detonation problems

    On my last shortblock with 10.5:1 compression I ran around 27 degrees of timing. I had my new shortblock installed in June and it was tuned at 26 degrees. I then started having problems with it pinging once it came up to full temp. I figured the heat of the summer was the problem and bought a...

    Pics of 315/35's

    If I can run 315s on an 11" rim with no issues, I see no reason why you would have problems with a 10.5.

    Passenger rear sagging 1"

    I lost a bolt somehow in my passenger side upper control arm a while back and couldn't get an oem replacement bolt. I installed one as close as possible but there was alittle play. It ended up making the hole larger. I had it fixed by having a washer welded in. Anyway, my passenger rear is...

    Got a Stroker?

    I just dynoed mine last week. It made alittle over 325rwhp with 23-24 degrees of timing and a 12.8 air/fuel. Had I gone with 10.5:1 compression and more aggressive tuning I'm sure it would have been more around 340rwhp.

    Nitto 555 vs. BFG KDW *FIGHT!*

    I've been running the nittos for years and just recently swapped to the bfgs. The bfgs hook alot better but won't last a year. I usually get new nittos every year but the bfgs won't even make it that long. Also, being my car is daily driven, the bfgs are a nightmare even in light rain. I've...

    Timing issues/help

    On my last shortblock at 10.5:1 compression I use to run 27-28 degrees of total timing. Now with my new shortblock I'm running 10:1 with one tune at 25 and the other at 20 total timing. At 25 degrees of timing my car will ping once it gets up to temp, no matter how it is outside. Happens...

    VT head question

    I have almost the exact setup. You'll see around 330rwhp na unfortunately. For running bigger shots, I don't know of any safer kits than the nozzle. I blew my intake to pieces running a 200 shot on a single nozzle.
