    Cams & Heads (Vid)

    Scott, Thanks! We've only been saying that for about a year now. :bang: Have to find some time to hang out or head for a meet. Jay

    Cams & Heads (Vid)

    I haven't really given a lot of thought to the blower yet. I really like the torque and immediate boost the twin screws are capable of - I figure that's really where I'll want to even out the powerband, down low.Exactly my thoughts on the bottom end - the next project will probably go about the...

    Cams & Heads (Vid)

    First, I apologize for the quality of the audio and size of the file, but you'll get the idea - car idles and cruises great!!! Couldn't ask for more right now. There is a noticeable difference - I got on it a little (couldn't help myself) and 2nd gear is GONE w/ the 4.10's - I mean you're doing...

    Nitto Drag Radials

    1. A 275/40 is a little wide for an 8" wheel, but Nittos seem to run a little narrow. The wheel data books will not usually recommend a 275/40R17 for an 8: wheel, but you could get away with it - really your decision. 2. You only need D/R's for the rear - they're for improved traction on...

    Computer Code Question..

    That is one of the Mustang codes listed by Diablo for Mustang chips, so I'm *assuming* that's it. If you're unsure, take the passenger side kick panel off - you should be able to look in there at the PCM without having to remove it - the sticker is on the box where the harness connects (near the...

    Line Lock tech - I Dont understand!

    Any auto parts store will sell them in the tools section. Pretty cheap little tool. Jay

    Line Lock tech - I Dont understand!

    Just a couple tips - don't get anything in the lines when you have them off. Just be thorough and take it easy on the install. Use a tubing bender to bend the lines so they don't crimp/restrict flow. Bleed the hell out of the brakes when you're done to get any air out of the system. Check the...

    Line Lock tech - I Dont understand!

    Since what you're doing is energizing the solenoid, it all depends on the type of switch you want to install. Most of the kits come with an on/off push button, so you push it and it's on and push it again to turn it off. I used a micro toggle switch because I like to know that if the switch...

    Diablo chip

    Just as an FYI - you guys are aware that Diablo dealers don't do their own programming or write their own files? They take your information - modifications and computer code and search the dealer database for a file that matches. If they find one that is a match it's reasonably inexpensive to...

    Line Lock tech - I Dont understand!

    No it locks both front brakes. I installed mine at the traction control module (behind radiator - pass. side). Take a look at my home page - there are a couple pics of mine that *might* help a little. Jay http://home.comcast.net/~j.roanhouse/home.html

    Ground loop buzz...CANT FIX IT, HELP!

    That's exactly what I just found my engine noise to be - the gain. I was banging my head against the wall, checking grounds, changing ground wires, grinding off sections of paint to clean things up for the grounds... All of that helped a *little*, but the buzz/whine was still there. Took a...

    Anyone using a Pro-M MAF?

    I'm running a Pro-M w/my 30# injectors - p&p heads/cams are going in this week, so I figured I'd be done with it. MAF does not need to be calibrated for each modification, but getting the a/f checked after installing the MAF is a must in my opinion. You will probably not realize much, if...

    line lock install

    I installed one on my car - from TCI. If you can bend brake line (recommend tube bender - don't want kinks) and bleed brakes you can handle it. There are a few pics on my homepage - just click the mods and then line lock. Also, I believe Joe Lynch (search for his name on Google or something) did...

    Tune Up Time?

    If you slide under the car from the back you'll see the fuel filter in front of the gas tank (up top) - all it takes to change it is a flathead screwdrive and the spring lock tool (which you can get at any autoparts store). The lines are held on the filter by a device which I can best describe...

    Tune Up Time?

    If you haven't done any periodic maintenance I'd look at the following (some of which has been mentioned): Plugs Oil/Filter (obviously) Fuel Filter!!! Check the belt for cracks/wear Differential & Transmission fluids Clean the IAC (Idle Air Control valve) Perhaps flush the cooling...

    Performance Advice Needed... Any Thoughts Welcome!

    Well, let's assume the performance goal to be around 250 RWHP (300 at the flywheel) - I believe that to be achievable and streetable on a car that will probably weigh in reasonably light. **EDIT: If the budget number is unreasonable, if you could provide estimated prices for what you...

    Performance Advice Needed... Any Thoughts Welcome!

    Hey guys, never posted over here and, frankly, don't know much about the venerable 5.0 engine. The situation is that a friend of mine is building a kit (Cobra) based on an '87 5.0 he picked up. It's a father/son project and he wants a little extra kick when it comes to performance. He is...

    Burning Chips (Diablo)

    The Cobra and Lightning predator's are out, but I also don't think the GT version has been released. As far as mail order burn v. speed shop burn on a Diablo Chip it probably doesn't matter since the Diablo dealers don't create or write any files for the chips. They simply access the website...
