    Does fuel tank baffle float?

    It's not a big deal.

    Tire ?

    I run a 275/60/15 on a 15x8 w/5.5 back spacing and it hits one tailpipe....it's tight. The 295 will probably rub the fender and rub the insides while turning. A 65 series tire would be like a big balloon. I would not recommend it.

    What to do with old gas?

    Feel free to put it in my Civic. It probably wouldn't make a difference....

    Supercharger question

    I'm with 90lxcoupe. The E cam is actually a very good power adder cam. As far as the blower is concerned, I would get rid of it. If you're not looking to go crazy a NOVI 1000 is a great little blower that can reliably put out 12psi. You can never go wrong with an S trim but please remember...

    best way to install gaskets?

    .....same here. Except I don't let the intake sit over night. Almost any automotive silicone will work....I like blue and black but ultra grey is good too. Just look on the package and will tell you what the intended uses are.

    RUNNING HOT

    How about the T-stat? I still say fan clutch.

    Tell me about these Holley heads I bought?

    I think the Holley's are an aluminum version of the Dart Windsor.....that's what I heard. That's a great head.

    Wet or Dry Kit for S/C

    A dry kit with 42lb injectors is a little sketchy. You will be under injected and looking for trouble. On the right day you could lean it out and take the motor and blower with it. I actually run a wet kit on my Lightning with 15lbs of boost and it works great to cool the intake charge. I use...

    RUNNING HOT

    Is there oil or grime around the fan clutch? If it was winter time I wouldn't be so sure but with the high temps that we've been seeing the incoming air hitting the radiator at highway speeds very well may not cool enough without the fan working properly- especially under load.

    I NEED HELP WITH INSTALLING MY TRICK FLOW MANIFOLD. SPACER, OR NO SPACER?

    All a spacer will do is make the intake runner longer....it kind of negates the reason for replacing the stocker...a shorter runner will make more power higher up on the rpm curve. I'm guessing that you are using a street heat right? No sense in using a spacer. Stock on stock speed density...

    computer chips are they worth it need help

    Chips are great for most cars but Fox's have such a simple computer that I feel that the only real benefit of chip is better drivability. As stated above, a car with no blower and relatively small injectors can get what it needs from manual adjustments.

    having trouble w/ the 5.0...HELP.

    +2 on the balancer. It may be seperating and causing a wobble. Especaiily at over 200k! That car is hard core!

    RUNNING HOT

    Sounds like the fan clutch. My brother in laws 93 was doing exactly what you described and I replaces his fan clutch and it runs perfect now. Get the heavy duty version. Without seeing the car I'm as positive as I could be. PS: I think that your co-workers are right.

    Loosing power @ WOT above 3000 RPM - need help

    ....just a shot in the dark but maybe you have an intermittent O2.

    I get heat even when the heat is turned off.

    You may look into seeing if the blend door is stuck open. That may cause your problem. there's a vacuum actuated dohickie in the ventilation system that occasionally sticks. If you pull the controls out you can see the vacuum lines. What I have done in the past is pulled the lines out and...

    wheel hop question

    A set of decent lowers should get rid of the wheel hop. I in no way want to engage anybody in an argument about quad shocks but there are a whole pile of cars that run 9's and 10's with a Megabite Jr lower arm and no quads on a 28 x10.50 or 26 x 10 MT ET drag slick. Usually it's the bushings...

    3.73 or 4.10

    3.73 is probably the best all around gear. Don't get me wrong, 4.10's are great on an NA car but if you already have 3.73's don't bother. Spend the money somewhere else. Besides, if you ever go to any type of power adder you will likely run out of gear with 4.10's.

    Mass Air Conversion help...

    Wow. This was a great thread. Lots of good info. I went on ebay and bought an entire main harness and computer. That way it's plug and play. My 87 is supercharged and came already converted to mass air but the guy hacked up all the wiring so badly that I just bought a new one. You can...

    C4 torque ratings

    My C4 has an 9 1/2 inch converter, 3800 rpm stall, and a transbrake- it can handle 800hp. A stock one could probably handle 300hp or so I would imagine

    Anderson Power Pipes

    Thanks Steve. It is for an SC'd app and I've seen the UPR pipe before but I'm afraid that it's a piece of crap hunk of plastic. Anybody ever use one? Half is half I guess.
