    Exhaust Smell

    Many smog tests are visual as well as mechanical. I know around here, if all your smog equipment isn't hooked up and functional, you don't even need to worry about making sure it'll pass.....because they fail you before you get the chance.

    Afr Head Install Question

    You'll notice though....that engine was a 1995 production engine....which falls right into the theory that Ford went TTY at some point during the switch to the SN95 redesign. :shrug: I guess the only sure fire way to know for sure, is look at them when they're out. Funny thing is....Grandma's...

    Afr Head Install Question

    There is a lot of debate on when Ford actually started using TTY bolts in the 302 OHV. I have personally had half a dozen or more mid/late-80's and earyl-90's HO and non HO 5.0L's apart that were equipped with standard head bolts.....NOT torque to yield. This leads me to believe that the head...

    Fox Shopping For Heads

    I wouldn't limit myself with a large combustion chamber unless I was either A) too cheap to run premium fuel all of the time, or B) running a LOT of boost. I'm pushing 14psi through a 10:1 compression ratio, on pump gas, just fine.

    My only response to it being a Canadian car is that Frenchman need to drive too. :shrug:

    Who Gets To Say, "i Told You So"?

    I didn't, but I would have had I knew you were doing it. Don't feel bad, my buddy ran the stuff, inside his walls. Now, he's afraid to turn his compressor over 90psi. I told him to abandon the whole set up and just run some copper line, on the outside of the walls.....but he's the type to...

    Engine Help Me With Throttle Body And Injector Sizing

    I'm running less cam than that, with equivalent heads, a much better intake and a full compliment of intake and exhaust mods on my 10:1 331 and its lazy under 3,500RPM and doesn't really start coming alive until 4,000RPM. So one can choose to take my personal experience into account, or...

    Engine Help Me With Throttle Body And Injector Sizing

    30lb injectors are more than sufficient in a N/A combo to feed 331ci. You'll also be fine with the 65mm throttle body you currently have. The 3-5hp gain you'll get jumping up to another throttle body size isn't worth the cost. FWIW, I ran 30lb injectors and my accufab 70mm for years without...

    Tire Woes Help!!!

    If you're willing to perform a 5-lug converstion (and why wouldn't you be....the brake upgrade alone is worth it), and you want to stick to a Ford wheel, you could probably get away with using '05-up wheels on your car with that thunderbird rear end. Combine that with a set of '99-'04 front...

    Well, at least he's admitting he doesn't know what the hell is going on. I'd rather see that, than the ones who don't and start making up their own definitions to things.

    Drifting

    What you kids today call a "sport" us old timers called "f'ing around in an empty parking lot and hope there were no cops around". Today's youth can give it a "buzzy" name if they wish, but to the rest of its, it's called a controlled power slide. And I was doing it for yeeeears as a teen...

    Nexen 5000 Tires

    Well, you did ask for opinions....:D Two of the cheapest tire brands on the market. Both of these companies are famous for designing a nice "looking" tire to undercut the cost and quality a more expensive legitimate offering from the competition, while still looking the part of a performance...

    Sooo...now What

    Well, since we're all being honest here. There is asking a question(s) with a genuine interest in learning and there's approaching the topic like a pretentious, know it all teenager. You chose to explore the latter with your little social experiment, which is why you earned the backlash you...

    Advice On My First Mustang Purchase, 2010/2011?

    Do whatever you have to, to get into a 2011 version of each model, over the 2010. The slight difference in price more is more than justified with the powertrain upgrade. The 4.0L V6 is a truck engine and should have never been put into a Mustang. The 3.7L that replaced it is light years...

    Sooo...now What

    And at the end of the day, is still worth something after you're done with it. IMO, the value of a V6 Mustang only goes down when you modify it.
