    Help with Hydroboost leak?

    Possibly the master cylinder? Sometimes the reservoir gets pushed around and leaned on and this can make them leak, they are pretty much just a couple of "o" rings.

    Suspension Options

    The Eibach kit, depending on which ones can be a little hard, you might want to try some HR springs that are progressively wound and they seem to work well on the street. I would stay with the constant wound springs for consistency in a track car though. FWIW I found that by using the Steeda X2...

    Clutch change help

    Remove the trans and get it out of the way, although as I recall, you can bolt the trans and bell up together, I prefer to unbolt them and do it separately. This will also allow the engine to rock back a little on it's mounts and allow a little more clearance. I'm thinking 9/16 , 5/8 or maybe 14...

    I want to supercharge my stang

    I work on a Grand Am Continental series team, we ordered up some hoods for the race car and didn't end up using any of them since they were too heavy. we stayed with the stock aluminum hood. The carbon hoods that were light flexed too much and tried to cave in, especially at tracks like Daytona...

    I want to supercharge my stang

    Fair enough, but don't forget that a large portion of that weight is in front of the front axle, this was one reason I looked into the KB instead of the other types. Front end weight is bad, front end weight in front of the front axle is very bad. So in this case the KB would be preferred over...

    I want to supercharge my stang

    most decent looking "carbon fiber" street hoods are built over fiberglass anyway, and they usually weigh more than the stock hood True, horsepower is good, at some point I intend to do the upgrade myself, but besides those 10 pounds of hardware,you have the weight of the water, say ..two...

    I want to supercharge my stang

    I've been running a Kenne Bell 6psi, no intercooler for over 5 years now, about 35K miles. I decided on a non intercooler because you're about to put a crapload of weight right on the nose of your car which srsly effects the handling. The KB at least puts the weight a little farther back. I will...

    best rear diff and axles combo...

    There is no best, it depends on what you use the car for. Highway only when mileage is important then 3.27 would be a good choice. if you live on the highway but you still want some decent acceleration then something like a 3.55, if you go to the drags then something like a 4.10 (depending on...

    Steering rack bushings?

    IMO stockers, probably because I'm an old guy and don't like the vibration in the steering wheel. If the car is lowered, get the longer steeda ball joints and the bump steer kit rather than the offset rack bushing.
