    Dyno run Blahs

    That's only half true about the cable. It doesn't have a "kick-down" cable in the literal sense, but it does have a TV cable. If someone messed with that cable, it's likely that it's not right. Here is a cheesy, but accurate video on how to adjust it. YouTube - Ford AOD TV cable...

    Simple 2 part question

    If the PCV gets plugged, the pressure will relieve itself to your throttle body through that tube that goes from the TB to the filler neck on your valve cover. Normally, that's the fresh air intake for your crankcase, to replace the air sucked out of the crankcase through the PCV. If for...

    Car won't restart hot!!

    Your symptoms sound like flooding. Starts great cold, won't start hot by cranking but it will start hot with a push-start, Wet plugs, spraying starting fluid doesn't help. If you floor the gas pedal while cranking, the computer (I didn't read the whole thread line by line, just did some...

    331,347 or 363 strocker?

    Hey that's a good point about the degrees of rotation to a 90 degree angle between the crank arm and the rod. I had never thought about that. You're right, with a longer crank arm, you reach that point sooner, which means you reach it at a higher cylinder pressure. I would think that would...

    331,347 or 363 strocker?

    Really? I didn't know the stock ratio was 1.7 on a pushrod 5.0, for some reason I always thought it was 1.6, but maybe that's just because that's the ratio I see more often. I've always wondered if it's better to try to get your lift at the cam lobe or through the rocker ratio. I'm thinking...

    331,347 or 363 strocker?

    Not really. You run a higher piston velocity with a greater stroke. More distance (greater stroke) in the same amount of time (rpms) requires more speed. The greater the velocity the greater the inertia to overcome and the greater stress against the rod and crank (that missle called the...

    EGR

    So, with the EGR installed, and no lines hooked up to it at all, you're getting a squealing sound? As far as real world net effect of it not being installed, your light throttle mpg will go down, and the emissions under the same condition will go up. Those are the only effects.

    Dyno run Blahs

    It will absolutely affect power. It may not necessarily make you run rich, that depends on if it was leaking because the pintle couldn't seat due to carbon buildup or other causes, and the position sensor indicated to the computer the position of the valve. Anyway, recirculated exhaust...

    Nitrous, who is running it?

    I did back when it wasn't very expensive. I've run a 100 dry shot on two stock 5.0s. They're a lot of fun, but ultimately I'd rather a power adder that's always there or a motor that makes the power naturally. Many states have laws prohibiting NO2 on the street, and if there is a system...

    95 GT problem

    Just because only one suggestion has been given, I would also recommend taking a look at the ignition switch block on the steering column. Sometimes they come loose, and you'll have a situation identical to someone turning the key off and then back on while you're driving.

    Supercharger or HCI

    A supercharger will get you there before HCI will, however dropping and stiffening your suspension is hurting you if you're looking for a faster 1/4. You're going to have low 12 second power before you find low 12 second traction. Is the best time at the strip what you're really after or is...

    bad battery but it will hold a charge

    This is probably someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. But to give the benefit of the doubt, it may be showing 12 volts but dropping too far under load. It shouldn't get under 10 volts or so under load. If the battery had not been properly charged however any testing is invalid.

    5.0 forced induction help

    All things being as equal as possible when comparing apples to oranges, a turbo will make more power because a turbo is more efficient than a supercharger. A single turbo is more efficient than twin turbos and therefore has more power potential. A good turbo setup tends to cost more than a...

    Noise & Vibration out of T5 in low speed/high torque situations

    That's a tough one without hearing it or feeling it yourself honestly. I don't think you're going to get much more than some guesses on the board. I will say that it doesn't sound like anything driveshaft, clutch, or flywheel related. It may be that you're getting some pinging if you're...

    Can I use a fox smog pump?

    As the title asks, can I use a fox smog pump in a 94? What I'm really looking to know is if it will physically bolt up *and* not give me any belt alignment trouble. Fiddling with the hoses is no problem. Thanks! :flag:
