    Are 90/10s overkill?

    I drove many years with 90/10's and skinnies (and front sway bar off), never had any problems. But I drive like I'm driving Miss Daisy around :D This was not my only vehicle though, and I tried not to drive it in bad weather. For a daily driver, I'd rather not have skinnies, the sway bar would...

    Why does my gas mileage suck?

    Say huh? You're gonna have a bigger fuel system on a blown car, and that's always hurt mpg from what I've seen. Boost and low end aren't happening with a s-trim. And how is the motor constantly turning a blower going to make anything more efficient? :shrug:

    What Fluid is in your T5?

    I thought I had read something like that awhile back in a MM&FF or 5.0 magazine....but then I thought that could have just been my active imagination at work again :p

    What Fluid is in your T5?

    Well no 2.95 gearset, so no ZT5. Ah I'll have a glide and a turbo'd big block in it before long anyway :p

    What Fluid is in your T5?

    I did a little searching and still couldn't find if a "Z" T5 could come with the 3.35 gearset. I had a Z in another car and I could definitely tell the difference in 1st and 5th....my new car doesn't have those gear ratios. It shifts ok, not the best I felt. Don't know what fluid is in it...

    Fuel Pressure for 24lb Injectors.

    I've seen very similar motors like different fp's. I started at 45 and worked down. Think I ended up around 40, but another friend's car ran best around 35. We just went by trak times (mostly mph) to set them.

    Back up lights don't work

    I think part of the wiring that plugs in to the driver side of the T5 has to do with the reverse lights. May just check to see if everything is plugged in if you already haven't.

    What Fluid is in your T5?

    Well there is one more store I can check. One store could get Royal Purple synth ATF, and I think the other may have Mobile 1 synth ATF. BTW, on a side note, and ps....do all "Z" T5's have the 2.95 gearset? I know this car I just got doesn't have the 2.95 just from the feel of it, but it's...

    What Fluid is in your T5?

    After reading good things on this forum about Redline D4, I tried to find some locally today....no luck. Are there any other fluids anyone has tried that they think are comparable? Maybe just any synthetic ATF?

    C & L: thoughts and a question

    I must have got the "non suck" model since I never hurt anything with 600+ hp on a stock block with cheap ole Fel Pro's HG's (1101's or whatever they're called)....even while detonating the thing like a dumbass a few times :doh: Now my buddy used the same meter on practically an identical...

    What All Do i need to convert to R134

    That's what my buddy did to my car, been fine for 4 years. He said he used different o-rings, but that may part of the adapter fittings....don't know my ac very well :p

    Aod's With 3:73 Gears?

    You'll get a little less gas milage with 4.10's, but more out of the hole power. I;d find out what factory gear you have (there's a tag on the center section of the axle, or the door has a tag and you'd look for a letter under "AX"....for example, M under AX is a 2.73). And this is assuming the...

    whys my car so slow?

    So you're saying you ran with stock fuel system (pump and injectors), but with the intake? Hard to say how those heads will perform....porting can really screw up heads of not done properly.

    6.5's in door of 89 GT?

    The speakers I was looking at are 2.25" deep. I know I can cut through the factory speaker cover and mount speakers, but I want to keep the stock look. I'll measure the stock speaker and that should give me some idea what will fit.

    Aod's With 3:73 Gears?

    Is the car mostly stock? If so, you won't run out of gear with 4.10's. Stock converter I assume. My stock aod car has 3.55's. It's so-so out of the hole, but a 4.10 car feels much better from my experience. Do you know what gear you have now? May be 3.27's. Don't see them mentioned much...

    6.5's in door of 89 GT?

    Anyone ever fit 6.5's behind the factory door speaker grills? I'd imagine they'd have to be slim (maybe 2" deep or less?).

    What e.t's were you guys running when you broke your stock block?

    Mine isn't a sad story, but one of survival. Had a turbo on a 100,000+ mile 302 and it went mid 6's in the 1/8 @ 110 mph (would have been high 130's in the 1/4). It was beat hard and often. It then had a carb'd/180 shot put to it for many 100 mph 1/8 passes. Motor is still A OK. Maybe it was...
