    Dyno Numbers in!

    Well I dropped my car off with Jeff from All Ford Performance on Tuesday, then picked it up yesterday. My car would idle like crap whenever I started it up (whether warm or cold), and it smoked a lot when I started it up also. I also asked Jeff to dyno it. Well now it idles great and doesn't...

    blue smoke at startup

    Yes they were brand new. Still have less than 600 miles on them. I thought when the valve seals leaked the car only smoked when you left it in a low gear going down a hill (using compression to slow it down). That is what my car used to do with the stock heads. Now it just smokes when I start it...

    blue smoke at startup

    Ok well I guess that makes sense. Thanks for your help. Guess I have nothing to worry about now. I was getting worried that my motor was in really bad shape. I guess I'll still do a compression test and see if its good enough for a supercharger. Thanks again!

    blue smoke at startup

    Just wondering what it means when the car blows blue smoke when its first started up? That is the only time it smokes by the way. It never used to smoke like this before I did the H/C/I. Any ideas? The car also leaks oil now, which it also never did before. But the oil leaking isn't really a...

    120K mustang boosted=shrapnel?

    They thought they blew a head gasket, turned out the stock head bolts just stretched. They put the SC on when the car had 135k I think. Only reason I remember that is because my car had the exact same miles on it when I read that article, which made me start thinking of putting on an SC. Now my...

    Timing chain set??

    If you're buying the Street Heat or Track Heat Trick Flow package they send you a Summit timing set. If you're going to be buying one then I don't know what to recommend.

    93gt, 58cc heads, 10 psi... Am I retarded?

    I talked to someone who had AFR 165's and a Novi 1000 with stock pulley who made like 430whp. I think that was with 7psi or so. I think you will be fine with 8psi. You also have hypereautic pistons though, so that makes it more dangerous. Good luck!

    Pro-M question- install problem! *pics*

    Yea I really don't like having to remove my fenderwell CAI, but I like your idea. I'm going to head over to Home Depot tomorrow and see what they have. If nothing else, I will just get what I need to mount it, but if I can make my own powerpipe to put the MAF in the fenderwell, I will try. I...

    Pro-M question- install problem! *pics*

    It's better to have a bigger MAF than throttle body. Aside from that, Pro-M's are supposed to be better than C&L meters. Ed Curtis suggested an 80mm mass air meter and a 75mm throttle body, so thats what I'm going with. I really don't feel like arguing over this though. Thanks for the help!

    Pro-M question- install problem! *pics*

    Yea I was looking at those. Too bad they are like $230. That is a ripoff for a 16" piece of steel with two rubber grommets. Maybe I'll go to Home Depot and see if I can make my own out of plastic, or at least something for the time being until I can afford a powerpipe. Thanks for the help!

    Pro-M question- install problem! *pics*

    Well I just got my 80mm Pro-M in the mail. I've been running a 73mm C&L for the last couple weeks, and today I went to try to install the Pro-M and noticed some problems. I've been using a Mac fenderwell cold air intake for awhile and the Pro-M comes with a filter attached to it, here's a pic...

    Novi 1000, to buy or not to buy...

    Do not order from Superchargers4less, they screwed up my Novi 1000 order so many times it's not even funny. First the moron there sent it from Paxton to HIS house rather than MY house (don't ask how or why), then he let it sit in his garage for like 2 weeks before trying to mail it to me. After...

    Help with rear tire size. Please read. Need traction!

    He was talking about 245's on a 7" wheel. As in 7" wide. Most 17's are 8 or 9" wide so 275 will work for them.

    Selecting the right Throttle Body

    The Trick Flow intakes have a 75mm throttle body opening, so I went with a 75mm throttle body and EGR spacer. Everyone said I would lose low end, but I drove it for awhile with the stock throttle body, then installed the 75mm and noticed no loss in torque but a huge gain in horsepower. Everyone...

    intake spacer question

    Had the same problem. Except I am running a Trick Flow Street Heat intake and a Kirban AFPR. The EGR valve kept bumping against the fuel regulator. Needed to get a spacer. I would assume it adds a few horses. If you feel the intake it is actually very noticeably cooler than it used to be. And...

    Trick Flow H/C/I installed- now idle problems!

    You have your fuel pressure set at 42psi? Is that with the vacuum line attached? I was told to set mine to 32-34psi with vac. Just wondering if mine is safe. Thanks.

    Trick Flow H/C/I installed- now idle problems!

    Well I somehow got the idle to stay at around 800-850rpms. It sometimes drops lower when I come to a stop, but only to like 700-750 and then comes back up. Not enough for it to die. The only problem now is whenever I start it up. Doesn't matter if the car's been sitting for an hour or a minute...
