    T-5, etc Transmissions!

    I couldn't agree more. I have a Tremec TK500 and now with my "breakin" miles done, I have been shifting like crazy. In my other stangs (stock t-5s or "world class" t-5s) I would always lift off of the throttle slightly between shifts but with the new Tremec in, the gas pedal is to the floor and...

    weight reduction...

    First let me say everyone has their own limit on what they see as a justifiable weight reduction. A fatboy, like myself, knows that we worked hard to get this size and spent a ton of money on some Good eatin'. We didn't do that for nothin'. :cheers: So while we may lose some of it, reluctantly...

    Two quick questions

    The heads on my coupe were o-ringed, and unless I was doing something wrong when I would pull the heads the o-ring in the gasket never seemed to be exactly in the groves in the head. just my .02 worth.

    New weight.

    Don't forget I removed a few items... (swaybar, strut tower brace, smog stuff and a few misc items). My tank was just below 1/4 on the first weigh in and it was just above the E on the second. I did forget to mention the removal of the spare tire and jack as well. Other then that the scales are...

    New weight.

    When I purchased my Mustang as a factory AODE car I weighed it with the only modafications done is removal of the air silencer and K&N which were already done. I weighed the car to get a baseline of what I weighed when I started modiying it. The car weighed 3,420lbs without me in it. I have...

    Tremec swap questions....

    I like the TK500, it is very nice, it feels/sounds smooth and has no vibration. I can't really compare it to a real 3550 as the one I had in my car for that week was junk. It was loud sounded like sand/grit was inside and vibrated like a washingmachine on spin cycle while out of balance...

    Why is powerdyne so much cheaper?

    I'm not disagreeing with HRT11 that powerdynes can make power, however "A" guy I know had one and it spent more time on the UPS truck going back and forth getting repaired and replaced then he had it on his car. That is of course just one example and a bad example can be given in every...

    Tremec swap questions....

    - Tremec stopped making the 3550 trannys, and replaced them with TK500's - The TK500's and 600's which replaced the TKO come with their own shifters that are supposed to be pretty good - I have heard (not for sure) that those shifters arent as good as they claim so to be safe buy an...

    When does the need for a fuel press. reg come into play?

    I would agree and say go ahead and get the regulator and gauge. At that point on my coupe I bought one and increased my pressure to 40. I didn't put it on a dyno but it seemed to help a little as my mph went up a hair. I was using a homemade ram air also. It's not something you are going to say...

    NEED ANSWERS QUICK ON WELDING THE INSIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL!!!!!

    Well my opinion is a little different then the rest. However I will agree that running a spool on the street can be tricky in tight turns for obvious reasons. The same can be said for a person running skinny's up front or a person removing the sway bar and running 90/10s. It all affects the...

    Whats a stock 94-95GT run in the 1/4

    I bought my car about 4 weeks ago and it had the air silencer removed and a K&N, everything else was stock. I weighed it and without me in it, it weighed 3420lbs with just under 1/4 tank of gas. I later checked the timing and it was at 8* btdc. The car had an AODE in it and ran a 10.012@ 73.29...

    Underdrives and Gears are about the 2 (cheap) best bangs for your buck imo Underdrives have been the first thing I have started with on my stangs.

    Pulled Over

    I was pulled over one time for doing 15mph over the speed limit. I asked the cop if he could make it 14 so my insurance wouldn't jump as high as it could. He said if you were going 14 mph over the speed limit then he would have. :scratch: :shrug:

    Would it defeat the purpose of underdrive pulleys if.....

    On my coupe I had the small race crank pulley and had major charging issues. I then bought the ASP (race crank altenator) pulley, which was used for when you had the super small race crank pulley, and it still didn't charge as good as I wanted it to. Then I changed to the regular underdrive...
