    why 620's over stock springs

    As has been said, it's to limit suspension travel. However, what wasn't addressed is you want to limit suspension travel due to the unfavorable stock suspension geometry of our cars. In simple terms, when your suspension compresses, positive instead of negative camber is induced on the outside...

    interesting air induction idea????

    As reenmachine said, it is. However, IMHO, I have doubts as to how effective it would be. Considering the distance between the base of the windsheild and the edge of the hood, it looks like you'd have to be moving pretty fast in order for it to build enough pressure for a cowl hood to work...

    interesting air induction idea????

    Check out this article from Ford Muscle. It wouldn't be too tough to fab up something similar to what they have here.

    electric fuel pump

    Check out this link to Century Performance. I know others have pissed on this link in the past, but this brings some tech versus their WAG. As far as electric pumps being too loud, use a gerotor style pump and you'll barely be able to hear it over your engine. The other thing to...

    best price on vintage wheel works wheels?

    Sorry, don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. What size wheels are you thinking of getting? Also, do you know how much the wheel weighs? I'm going to get something similar for my car in 17's. I'm considering either the Vintage Wheels or the Ford Bullitt style. Tire Rack has...

    Unique Performance Coilovers

    You do realize that Uniques coil-over is basically the same as TCP's. They started producing their own version of the coil-over when TCP was in the toilet.

    Boyd Coddington...American Hot Rod

    Rumor has it that Charley the body/paint guy bailed and is now working for Chip Foose. Can't believe the guy put up with Boyd's crap for as long as he did.

    Got my new brakes in...WOW!

    Bingo. From the infamous TCP thread on that big-meanie-head forum ;): All I know is when I'm ready to do this for real, Preston's mail box is going to be very full. He's an incredible wealth of information and loves to share what he knows. Thanks again Chris. And thanks for the link. I've...

    Got my new brakes in...WOW!

    When properly setup, large brakes should have less of a tendency to lock up because it's easier to modulate the brakes. Sure, if you were to spike the brakes, the larger rotors would probably lock up the wheels faster than smaller rotors, but if you're spiking the brakes, you might want to...

    Got my new brakes in...WOW!

    TCP used CNC brakes (www.cncbrakes.com) on their racecar as well. I don't know exactly which set they were using, but they were BIG manhole size rotors with the 6-piston calipers. Terry could drive deeper and brake later than just about anyone. They were also using some kind of fluid...

    To sway or not to sway?

    Without driving your car, knowing what suspension components you have, or knowing your driving style, telling you to install or not install a rear sway bar is a moot point. Before you do anything, you should understand exactly what's happening underneath your car. Read Herb Adams' Chassis...

    Ballast resistor question

    The only thing I'd double check is to see if that resistor says 9 or .9. Is there a part number on the resistor? Maybe then you could look it up to get the correct value as you're right, 9 ohms is overkill. Or, you could always give Crane a call, they should have the answer.

    Mustang Plus!! What's The Deal!!!

    Report them to eBay. I believe it falls under "Seller Non-Performance" policy http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/transaction-non-performance.html Basically, they're violating #1 "Not delivering an item for which payment was accepted." I believe if they receive 3 of these complaints...

    Bullitt vendors with custom backspacing?

    Do you know what your scrub radius is with those spacers? I've been wanting to get a set of those wheels, but if it compromises the scrub radius, then I might just buy custom offset wheels.

    switching to an electric fuel pump

    allcarfan, I was just asking an honest question. You said you didn't think the site was very accurate, yet you did not elaborate as to why. Then, you ask if the chart that BlueMonster65 posted was backwards because volume dropped as pressure increased. Not trying to start anything, but I...
