    My Car is Messed Up!!!!!!!!

    I noticed you have the zex nitrous kit which I assume still uses signal from the tps sensor to activate. It is possible that it is causing problems with your tps sensor and that is the idle problem, or it could also be a dirty idle air control. Check your tps with the key on and see if your...

    How do you guys usually launch at the track?

    I use the clutch to hold my car in place. It takes some practice to hold it still but it is more effective for me in launching. Then once the lights start to come down it's 5500rpm and off the clutch I come.

    broke the t-stat housing, help!!?

    They are all basically the same on the 5.0 mustang. Just go to the local parts house and pick up a new one. Most aftermarket ones are cast steel so if you want it to keep looking good then you need to add a little aluminum paint to it but it is not as prone to cracking like the factory...

    Clunking from front, anybody have ideas??

    It is between the yoke that slips into the tailshaft of the trans and the driveshaft it's self. There is also one at the back of the driveshaft between the shaft and flange that bolts to the pinion gear.

    Stall Converter

    Ok here is a quick little torque converter/auto trans tech. In order for a car to come to a stop and it not stall the engine you have to somehow disconnect the trans from the motor. This is what a clutch is for in a manual car. Well a auto trans uses a torque converter do do this. Basically a...

    Help im Having a Problem

    Well my vote is on detonation since it does it when it's hot and you are also flooring it. It can be several things that cause it. One is too much initial timing, the other is not enough octane in your gas. There are other things that will cause it but those are the two basic causes...

    392x autolite plug question

    The GT-40 iron heads do not use a 3924 plug or any variation of heat range on that plug. They use the autolite 764. There is a reason that they will not fit. The 764 plug is a taper seat plug like the stock autolite 24-25 plugs but it's a little longer. The 3924-3924 is a gasket seat plug and...

    Finally taking the car to the track!

    Yea I have gone 7.8's and 7.9's at 88mph several times but the 60ft's are not there. The best was a 1.86 60ft and that is about .2 off from what they should be. Hopefully the extra suspension will help drop the 60ft times.

    Finally taking the car to the track!

    Stuff I should have done a long time ago. I added subframe connectors, steeda adjustable upper control arms, lower control arms, replaced all bushings with new urethane ones, and added torque boxes. This along with the adjustable shocks and struts that are already on the car should make it...

    Finally taking the car to the track!

    Not sure if I should have put this in tech but decided it was safe here. I finally got around to working out all the bugs on the car and added some suspension parts to try and get the car to hook and tomorrow is a test and tune at a local 1/8h track and I am headed down to see if I can get the...

    how big of a shot can i use...?

    I ran that kit for years and run a 150 shot all the time on a stock bottom end with no problems. I used a 190lph fuel pump with 24# injectors and about 10deg of timing on 93 octane gas and never had any detonation or backfires.

    Nitrous Installation

    No pics but when I had it on the car I took out my plastic in the wheel well and mounted everything in the inner fender and then covered the line that went to the intake and the nozzle with a piece of vacuum line so when you looked at it everything looked like it was a normal vacuum line.

    What does this go to??????

    I think that is part of the ac system. I do not have it on my car anymore so I cant go look at it but if I remember correctly I took it off when I removed my ac. Is it connected to anything under the car?
