    Installing my tranny cooler Friday, any tips?

    You'll have to supply more info. What cooler? The race B&M doesn't have an install kit. What are you using for lines... rubber or steel?

    How Often Should You Tune Up The Stang?

    Is it your daily driver? I only drive mine in the summer so I get about 7000 miles on it. I change the cap, rotor, and plugs every year. Wires every two. I'll be running nitrous this year, so I might change the plugs more often.

    AC and Smog Delete(where to find them)

    Hey, how's that setup for belt slip. It's exactly what I have now but haven't fired it yet (winter). I used to have the UPR setup that moved the tensioner to the drivers side, but it would squeel like a pig when I had any kind of load on the 3G.

    Front spring install

    Did my drag launch kit last weekend. I cut a full coil off and it sits perfect. You may want to do the same. To get the tie rod off the spindle just whack the spindle with a hammer. Release the castle nut on the tie rod a few threads and then whack the spindle a few good ones. The rod...

    Whats a better choice, turbo or supercharger?

    Turbo wins hands down. It's not even a choice in my mind. No pulleys to change for different boost levels, no belts to slip, no lost power to run the turbo.

    Where did everyone learn this stuff??

    I was into cars back in highschool. Took automotives in school. I would have to say that magazines were my best source though. I had boxes and boxes of car magazines. I also worked in the shop at a Honda dealership for a few years, learned a lot there. I got into Mustangs one summer when I...

    Open end LOCKING lug nuts for Draglites??

    Yeah, it's more for the tech guys... with open ends and studs sticking through it's very obvious that you meet requirements. Better than having to pull a lugnut off to prove the stud is long enough.

    Open end LOCKING lug nuts for Draglites??

    This is not true. The stud must extend the width of the stud into the hex portion of the lugnut. So, a 1/2" stud, as on our cars, must extend 1/2" into the hex of the lug nut. Draglites use a long shank, plus a washer, then the hex portion, so they require long studs. Acorn style lugnuts...

    How good is msd ignition?

    As Heckon4whls pointed out... on a chassis dyno you will see no gains from an MSD on a stock or mildly modded motor with a properly functioning factory ignition. You need to increase cylinder pressures to see any benefit.

    Lug Nut question

    Depends on the wheels being used and the length of the studs. They'll still be 1/2"X20. The options then are open end or closed end and shank or acorn style.

    Thanks. Do you know if I'd still be track legal doing it this way?

    Open end LOCKING lug nuts for Draglites??

    Can't seem to find anyone that manufactures open end locking lug nuts that are shank style for my Draglites. Anyone know if they're made? McGard has nothing on their website for open end...

    front spring stuck

    Very odd. Mine broke when I pried 'em out. They were a little rusty ;)

    Front spring install, right and wrong LOL

    Depends on the method you're using. If you unbolt the arm from the k-member then you don't need the compressor. I use the internal spring compressor to compress the spring. Then use aircraft cable and turnbuckles to hold the tension so I can remove the compressor outside the car. Saves a...

    Eibach Drag-Launch Springs....

    You're comparing apples and oranges. The drag launch kit is not a lowering kit. The prolines and sportlines are. The drag kit will ride nicely, the lowering kits will ride much harder in comparison. Do you want to drag race or corner? Most people cut a coil out of the drag launch kit. If...

    to stroke or not to stroke

    That kit seems decently priced. I wouldn't worry about running a 331 with stock stuff, it will still make more power than a 302.
