    dead cyl?

    buy a $30 compression tester and verify it yourslef or make them show you with thiers. If you have compression they are full of sh&t. as long as you have compression then it is usually ignition related. there are many causes of a dead cylinder though. 1. borken rings 2. burnt valves 3...

    Yokohama Tires

    I had the avs sports which is supposed be a step up from those I think and they were not that great new and sucked after about 10-12k. they were fine at first and then the traction just went away. the wet traction always was poor. they got so bad with about 30% tread left that I on wet I...

    Thinking of selling my new cams

    from what you have said it does not sound like you want to do the work so I would buy some vt stage 1's pay the shop the $180 and take you 20hp. you won't lose much money on the current setup.

    whats the purpose of a new rear end cover?

    well that is the whole purpose of the piece to beef up the drivetrain to be able to take the load if you ever happened to hook up. T/A makes the covers for ford so just buy the T/A cover as it is about $60 cheaper. if you think about the way energy is delivered through the pinion gear to...

    12.8s, reliability, cornering ability

    if all he wants is high 12's he won't have to beef up the rear or run gears if you goes with boost or spray.

    Thinking of selling my new cams

    you will need a tune as well so there is even more money. If you don't turn you own wrench cams are not a good mod $$$ to hp. $700 cams springs $1000 install $379 tune =$2079 for 25hp even if you found a place for $500 it is still pretty high. that is not worth it. so I would...

    I have the drag arms with the spherical bearings on each end. a tad bit of road noise with the rear seats down not much with them up. night and day difference in the feel of the car.

    12.8s, reliability, cornering ability

    all you need to run 12.8 and handle good is $$$. If doing it over again I would just buy the KB 9spi kit and the maximum motorsports road and track box. that is about 7k worth of stuff but that gives you a low 12sec on street rubber and a car that will just carve corners. I mean I paid...

    Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers

    Rear-end is STILL leaking after taking it back 3 different times!

    hmm I have switch over cars before. wonder If I got lucky or this is bs? I still don't think this would make gears fail. I have switched cars over before and have yet to drop a rear end. then again I pulled the cover and there would have only been a minute about of the 80-90 left. :shrug:

    trying to get weight of car down is impossible!!!

    why do you want the p-51 so bad if you are going boosted? is you shortblock forged right now? I mean you can be well over safe power levels on the platic intake. I saw a dyno with a novi 2k at like 600hp with stock intake, heads, and cams if I remeber right. it may have had a plenum though...

    trying to get weight of car down is impossible!!!

    I would agree if money is no object there are just trade offs to a daily driven car and wieght reduction one of them is cost the other is just reduced options and comfort. bikes have a wicked power to wieght ratio so you can't really use them as an example. I mean you can buy 9 second bikes...

    need help axle repair

    I think you would want one out of a 99-04 as the 94-98 have a different width but I am not sure if it is axle lenght only or the conrol arm mount points are differnt. For example I had a 66 chevelle you could use a 68-72 housing but it was a different width and required a difffernt wheel offset...

    trying to get weight of car down is impossible!!!

    okay my .02 on wieght if you going to boost is why? spend money on traction instead of weight reduction. I mean if you want to drop weight. 1. k-memeber 2. coilovers 3. forged wheels (smallest diameter that will fit 3. interior and truck deletes 4. lighter body panels? you start...

    Bullit vs. Mach1 Suspension? The same?

    If you look closer at that page you will see that just the bullitt kit with out the sway bar is over $400 as well. for some reason they sell the mach 1 shocks/struts/springs cheaper than the bullitt shocks/struts/springs. everybody is saying they are the same but ignoring the different part...

    Rear End Bearings - At home job for inexperienced?

    first off if one bearing is failing why not do them all why you in there. if you do all of the bearings it is pretty easy. if you get a long chunk of 1.5 in pipe you just run it through the housing and drive the axle bearings and seals out. takes about 10sec per side. it is redneck but it...

    I want to hook up in 1st...

    well you need 5 on 4.5 wheels not 4.75. the backspacing you want will depend on you wheel width as well. for example I have 18x10 but they have about 6" of backspacing. my .02 is pick a wheel width and tire size then post it in and have people help with the offset/backspacing number.
