    Should I use the phenolic spacer with trick flow intake

    I think it is supposed to help keep the upper intake cooler as well as increasing the runner lengths. I don't think the stock hood will fit with it, but a cowl hood will. I'd use it. :D

    how many miles will a 5.0 last??

    My 88GT has about 200,000 miles on it. Never had any major problems. The valve covers haven't been off even. I did have to replace the water pump way back in '95, and a clutch (once). It was my DD from 1990 'til 2005. Now I'm rewarding it with a nice 306cid rebuild. Started to collect rebuild...

    Any one from NC/Im moving from NY

    Congrats on your job offer. Sounds like good $$. It'll be a whole lot cheaper than NYC. Willmington is relatively small. There are a lot of really nice, genuine people in NC. Most people in NC like/understand cars and car-people so you'll be in a good place. I used to live in Morehead...

    Lost 30 lbs

    Congrats. The right amount of exercise, food intake and sleep can do wonders. I just have a hard time with the sleep part. Having a two-year-old that doesn't go to bed 'til 8pm, and being tortured by the Spurs/Mavs series (causes extra beer consumption) puts a strain on my situation. WATCH...

    what would you buy with $900?? need ideas

    How about stronger axles/diff. or better brakes (don't know if your brakes are already good). ...............Or just save more cash and buy a tank of gas.

    Another gasoline "stick it to the man" plan.

    I think it's the Chinese. They have a new found love of omelettes. They are using too many eggs. Also, the environmentalists are jacking with the chicken farms and not allowing the chickens to produce eggs to keep up with demand. Also, if we could use our own (U.S.) chickens to produce eggs...

    what would you buy with $900?? need ideas

    I agree with this. It's harder to save for and buy "big ticket" things like heads than it is to get items that cost only $150 - $300 each. Although it is nice to get a bunch of different stuff at once.

    Removed my intake...no wonder the car was having issues! (DUW)

    Wow, nice port work. Now it is time to replace it. Porting the factory lower is a good idea but it looks like somebody got carried away. Search Tmoss for how it should be done. Factory intakes can flow decently and are a good alternative to buying an aftermarket intake. Especially if the rest of...

    Had to put my dog to sleep :(

    Sorry to hear about your dog. I lost my Husky mix a month ago. It was/is tough, but she lived a long time (10 years) and had a pretty good life. Don't think of "replacing" your dog because they can't be replaced. Each dog (or pet) is different. I'm sure you know that. Death is the worst part...

    When was the last time your stang broke down

    I've had my 88gt since '90 and the heater core took a leak and was replaced in '91. Since then the water pump had to be replaced in '95. Neither left me stranded. The clutch quadrant failed on my way to work one day in '98, but it still didn't leave me. I thought it was the t5 so I replaced it...

    guys with air compressors come in please

    It's cool. I was just using the National Electrical Code, Section 430 "motors, motor circuits, and controllers", Table 430-148. I was looking at something else earlier when I quoted Table 250-95, that was incorrect. Section 250 is for grounding.

    What would yall do to me if i bought this????

    To each his own. If you like it, buy it. Just make sure you get a really big sheetmetal wing and a fart pipe. Oh yeah, 8" diameter tach on the a-pillar. btw- you'll regret getting rid of the stang if it's not immediately replaced with another stang.

    guys with air compressors come in please

    No problem. You're right in what you are saying. However, "single phase" 240 volt is achieved with 2 phase conductors, but still referred to as single phase. Essentially you have a "two phase", or dual phase distribution. The measured voltage is as you state, peak-to-peak. To elaborate, 240...

    guys with air compressors come in please

    jrichker is also right. Make sure NOTHING else is on the compressor circuit, just to be safe, and not to complicate the situation. btw the reason my amps are diff is that I used the NEC table 250-95 which indicates 17 amps at 230 volts. So if you're at 220 volts it will be a little more.

    guys with air compressors come in please

    Daggar is right. Make sure you connect electric motors to the voltage they are designed for. I might be able to help since my job is electrical engineering:shrug: . Excuse me if this is a little long or if I offfend anybody. But here it goes.......... The voltage to the typical residence...

    Need YOUR opinion

    Black Trickflows or polished factory covers (if you have time and don't want to dish the $$). If using factory covers, I think you'll need thicker gaskets, or double gaskets if you're running roller rockers.

    Guess my time and win a cookie*

    Depending on comp. ratio and chassis mods as well as driving skill, I'd say probably 12.181 sec. at 290mph. Only if you have a 1.2 sec 60' light. j/k sounds like it might be fast.

    Paint looks good.:nice: I'm partial since mine is red too. imo - Go back to the ponies when it's convenient. But they don't look that bad. What color interior do you have?
