    Supercharger hp question

    So 3.55 would be a good gear? I can get a rebuilt rear end with those in for 300.

    Supercharger hp question

    I haven't really done my research yet but I saw a vortech V1 A trim with the complete kit for 1500. I don't know if that is a good deal but after I get the rear end changed to 4.10's then the supercharger will be the next thing. I was just wondering if I should beef up the tranny before I put...

    Supercharger hp question

    I was wondering how much hp will be produced at 6-8 psi. I have been told that I am making about 300 right now. I read that an AOD can handle about 350 and I didn't want to push it right now.

    Studs on lower intake to heads

    Any ideas on which set. The heads have 5/16 x 18 on them. I was looking at ARP 354-2103 but they don't say what size the threads are.

    Studs on lower intake to heads

    I keep having the problem with running lean. From what I can tell the intake bolts keep loosening up which I read is normal. The problem is when I go to retighten them I get one or two that spin and will not tighten. After looking at the threads I see that the bolt is not engaging the thread...

    ECU and igintion components for 1992 Mustang

    In the 5.0 tech book it said that you can run an automatic computer on a manual transmission but you can't run a manual computer on an automatic transmission.

    42lb injectors

    As long as the MAF is calibrated to the 42# it should be ok. When you change the inlet tube (for C&L) going to the maf for the 42 it will make up the difference from going from the stock 19 to the 42 since extra fuel is going in on the 42#. What mods are on your car?

    What is this called?

    Did he say the voltage regulator board? I think if that goes out then all your gauges would be acting funny.

    engine removal

    I have used a ziploc bag and rubber band to keep tranny fluid from falling out. Also parts store sell an attachment with a long lead screw that makes it easy to shift the weight of the tranny as you pull it out. Came in real handy when trying to install a 440 w/tranny in a 68 charger by myself.

    Exhaust Manifolds Bright Red!!

    I just replaced the line with a silicone one but I heard the grommet around the line goes out.

    Exhaust Manifolds Bright Red!!

    I sat my initial base timing to 14 which is what is was before taking the intake off. I am guessing I set my TDC correctly or the car would not start at all. After setting the idle I went to take the car around the corner. When I pulled out the brakes took all I had to stop and the car...

    Exhaust Manifolds Bright Red!!

    I just put back on the upper and lower intake manifolds after finding the lower to head bolts loose. I warmed up the engine to set the idle and initial timing. I did the KOEO with a code 11 and went to do a KOER and the car revved to 2500 which seemed high. I looked down and noticed that both...

    Can a header gasket leak cause this?

    Guy I work with swears by it. He is a graduate of UTI out here and was a race mechanic. Put tranny fluid in with the oil and run for 10-15 min and drain it. I think it was because the tranny fluid is not as thick as motor oil so it fixes the lifter.

    WOT operation?

    I am 99.9% sure I have found the problem. I was reading some other post and saw that you are supposed to retorque the lower intake bolts to the heads. That is the first I have heard of that. So I took of the upper off and went to retorque, there were some bolts that weren't even at 5 ft/lbs...

    WOT operation?

    Ok so I set the idle, it was at 800 with the IAC and SPOUT out so I adjusted it down to the 600 rpm mark. I then set the TPS and left the battery unhooked for 10-15 min to reset the computer. At 1/2 throttle the accerlation is really smooth now but at WOT it still seems like it gets bogged...

    Steaming and metal grinding sound, then nothing? WTF?

    I had something like on my f-150 but no steam though. I had just bought a new serp belt so I took it back got another one. When I put the second one on the grinding went away and its been 9 months. I never figured out why the belt was causing it though.

    WOT operation?

    After reading the surging idle checklist something just hit when I bought the new TB I don't remember setting the idle screw. (Feel like a DUMASS now). I guess I was just so excited about get a new one I forgot. In the morning the car will start then almost die and then go high and then almost...
