    Torque Freaks dyno special $29.99 for 3 pulls

    $30 for three dyno pulls. $10 additional for A/F. I'm happy to see that there is some interest! We need more Domestics coming down to the shop! Seeing a Supra put down 700rwhp on stock internals is great but I LOVE the roar and the feel of a V8! Hope to see everyone down there soon...

    Who's running a CHP or a HPE (horsepower engineering) 347 shortblock?

    i'd say go for the CHP shortblock. that's a great price. i'm building a 347 from CHP. i had a local shop do most of the block work(i chased the threads and clearanced the cylinder bottoms for the stroker kit), and will have them balance the whole assembly once i decide on a...

    Deal of the Century???

    from my experience, when you have bent wheel, you have lots of other problems even though they may not be immediately apparent. suspension, differential, half shafts, shocks, etc. could all have small problems that, over time, turn into large problems. usually, they are large problems that...

    best tire size

    my first thought was... AS BIG AS WILL FIT! i just like huge rear tires. can't stand the look of same width front to rear on a rear drive or all wheel drive car. i have 275's on the rear of my 86 and they just look too small. will hopefully be stepping to 315's in a few weeks. 255 is...

    Fiberglass hatch??

    i agree with 92BlackGT, go with the hood instead. wrong end. need proper balance. stangs have enough trouble hooking the rears tires as it is. from what i've found though, the hatches run about $200 for the pin on and about $450 for the bolt on. then, you have to get the $100 lexan window...

    Anyone have their door locks rekeyed?

    i got a set from CSK autoparts for about $35 for my 86. came with glovebox, lock, doors, hatch and ignition, as well as a key. NAPA can get them too and they are incredibly easy to install on Mustangs. hope this helps and is not too late.
