    I don't like how they stink up the inside of the car at a standstill either.

    Wheels-Tires Who Runs Drag Radials On Pony Wheels?/what Do You Run Up Front?

    ive run a 245/50 on the front at about 3/8" lower than stock and they didn't rub at all. no spacers, nothing. on my ponies right now ive got the 245/50 nittos out back and my buddy that owns a tire shop put a 225/55 on the front because 'they fit right'. I wanted to do 245s again. I don't drive...

    T-5 Pita... Tremec Tko The Answer?

    many times shifting issues are also caused by improperly adjusted or worn out clutch. thin clutches are bad about making it really hard to get into gears. quite often a simple clutch replacement will make a trans feel like it shift like new if the internals aren't trashed. that being said, since...

    Why Boost Is Better Than Nitrous.

    I was at Kennedale about 15 years ago and one of my fellow racers was in front of me heating his bottle with a torch. I was a little nervous.

    Muffler And Cat Upgrade

    you run 2 full cats instead of that stupid 4 cat setup ford. $360 is less than a car payment on my wifes Toyota.if someone cant afford that every 5 years then maybe they should buy a bike instead of a performance car. Cats also wear out because of fuel mixtures richer than stoich. guess what...

    Easy replacement for stock cylinder heads

    if you run the EGR with boost you need to run a one way valve in the vacuum line to it or youll blow the diaphragm out and have a big ass vacuum leak. been there have the T shirt. its easier just to get rid of it, since your emissions are going to go way up anyway when you blow the cats out of...

    Muffler And Cat Upgrade

    even if cats don't last 5 years, who cares? buy another set if you have to. they aren't that expensive. car parts wear out.

    Coolant Question

    like I said above you may have to play around to find what works best. lets define the rate that is considered too fast. the coolant passages themselves are a restriction. If the coolant were traveling at too high of a rate to cool the engine it would still have a detonation problem because you...

    Coolant Question

    maybe something to do with the new cars having to run at around 210* in normal to cold weather in order to help burn off hydrocarbons to meet emissions standards. drove my 93 in 110* heat last summer and it never went over 190*.

    Coolant Question

    I would experiment with the given vehicle to see what makes it run coolest. In the DFW area I run a 160* or a restrictor and it runs 20-30* cooler than a 180*. and the 180s run cooler than the stock T stat. and that's in the summer. I do this to keep detonation at bay. Depending on the...

    408w Timing

    ive always had good luck running timing locked out. i go with what makes them fastest at the track. everyone wants a different amount of total, but they always seem to run better locked out. its a tuning tool. some may respond different depending on the combination.

    Coolant Question

    any coolant is fine as long as you flush the system. the 180 works well. i don't daily drive mine so i normally run a moroso restrictor, but right now i have a 160 in it. when its 105 here my car still runs about 160* with a 160 t stat or restrictor. normally between 140-150 in cooler weather...

    Coolant Question

    even with a stock 192* T-stat in the heat no more than 195. My car has always run about 10* less than whatever T stat was in it. the fact that it goes up to 240* before cooling down is a problem.

    408w Timing

    we run about 36* locked out on the 410 my buddy and I just built. around 14:1 compression and it starts fine. it runs vp 112 for fuel.

    Coolant Question

    that thing shouldn't run near that hot. I would look at starting with changing out the T stat and flushing the system. if it still runs hot I would look at radiator flow. it should not run that hot on the freeway with pleanty of airflow so im assuming the fan is ok.
