    Longtube Headers vs. Shorties

    There was a header comparo in one of the mags a while ago... forget which one. But, it was a fairly well built motor.. Actually on the upper RPM band 1 5/8" equal shorties are basically equal to most longtubes [the recent mag test] on the HP numbers... Low RPM torque is a whole different...

    Stock plug gap with 6AL box

    Wow, gapped em all .060" and wow.. spins 1st, 2nd, hooking but sideways all through 3rd now and a good chirp going into 4th, everytime. :banana: Well.. Not really, but it does seem a bit more throttle responsive when you step into it... the gaps were all over the place [1 was .043....]...

    Stock plug gap with 6AL box

    Did a search and for some reason didn't find what I was looking for. Have stock motorcraft plugs. Ign consists of Motorcraft cap, rotor, Ford Racing 9mm wires, stock coil, MSD 6AL. I know stock Gap is around .054 - .056. Can I go .060" with the 6AL? I have it gapped at stock now, and my...

    Best Headers for a 90 GT w/ AOD ?

    Stock ones. Port the welds out of the openings where they bolt up to the heads. Stock headers are good up to about 280 HP. A guy on here that goes by the name Micheal Yount has a mildly built 5.0 in a Volvo, and went from stock headers to Motorsport 1 5/8" shorties I believe, and he lost...

    tb breather , valve cover fiasco ??

    That is pretty stange. You'd think it would work the same as the stock setup. Whatever you do make sure the crankcase has some way to breathe... The PCV is pullling vacuum in the crankcase, but it needs to have a way to replace the air thats being pulled via the PCV, and thats what the TB to...

    Will a new tranny mount cure my problem??

    I'd be surprised if the mount fixes it unless yours is broke. Because my buddys 86 GT [Whitescones on PerformanceShop BB] has 3.73s [we jus put em in - car will be mid 13s now..] and the stock 260000 KM orig tranny mount and no real vibes at all up to 5300 RPM really... :shrug: He's getting a...

    What Fluid to run in my T5

    I'm going to get told I am crazy and my tranny will blow up by some, but I run the Redline MTL in mine. I bought this T5-Z in August 2002. Put it in with regular ATF, then changed it out at about 1500 KMs. NOTCHY is an understatement. Put in Mobil 1 synthetic ATF, for a couple thousand...

    Synth 5W30 & higher miles. Worth the 5 HP?

    I agree, just that I have heard for instance... after a cooldown at the track, the 5W 30 is thinner and when you go up to the box, burnout, then stage and make a pass, the thinner oil thats not yet up to full operating temp, is what gives the few extra HP. I'll likely just buy the same ol'...

    Synth 5W30 & higher miles. Worth the 5 HP?

    Doing my oil change in a few.... I am heading to the track [finally] 1 more time this weekend to take one last stab at the 12.80-12.90s with stock engine.... I think it'll do it too, as long as its not hot as heck out. I switched from the C&L 73 back to the bored stocker and my funny...

    Need muffler info asap...

    Had a Dyno Max Super Turbo cat back on my car when I bought it. Muffs were rotting so I removed them and kept the flow tubes and tails, and had straight pipes put in place of the muffs. With cats oon the car back then it sounded ok... Now I have the off road X pipe, and a borrowed set...

    Can I got 13's???

    On the Nittos, i'd say... 1.9xx - 2.10 60s, & 13.70-80s @ anywhere from 101-103 MPH. Don't rev the engine [if its stock heads/intake/cam] much past 51-5200 RPM [thats where they are done pulling] and make your upshifts nice and quick [or powershift] and you'll be there... Full drag slicks...

    How fast with stock cam and a 1.7 RR?

    I bought the AFRs [165s] from a place in Blenheim Ontario Called Westside Performance. I called the place about heads and just asked what he had in stock. He said he had Edelbrock Performers [$1774 CDN/pair], Windsor Junior Lites [$1470 CDN/pair], and the AFR 165 and 185s. The 165s were $1995...
