    Hit 148-149 mph in stock '02 GT auto conv!!

    Little side note on the stock suspension and speed.... When I first got my turbo system dialed in we did a top gear run, Just left the car in 5th and floored it to see how the boost would come on over time. We started at 50mph and the car kept pulling harder and harder, so naturally I kept my...

    T56 swap is exactly the same except you must use a new transmission cross member that is made for a t56.

    School us on engines...

    Well done. I made a point to stay out of this thread, but I must commend you on a very well written point. And if Torque was the sole unit that propelled one down a track, you would see more electric motors that gas... How about 735.57 ft/lbs of torque @ 1785RPM? (thats 250HP) HAR HAR...

    Vortech Mini Race used as a BOV?

    To fill the hole just cut a "patch" out of a similar diameter and thickness piece of pipe. Weld it on. Then fine a way to plug both ends of the pipe. in one plug, drill a small hole to fit a Vac line in snuggly. Use compressed air to pressurize it to about 20psi and put it under water. Look for...

    2001 Mustang Gt Supercharger or Turbo

    I would suggest turbo if money wasn't a factor. Making your own kit requires a LOT of knowledge and a lot of luck. If you are looking for a SC for under $2K, I have a Vortech V-2 SQ that has 8K miles on it. Comes with a few different pulleys, the bracket, intake, belt, and boost pipe. PM me if...

    Vortech Mini Race used as a BOV?

    Correct:nice: The reason for a bigger hole is because the stock one is 1" ID, and the race BOV is 1.6" ID. Also, you will need to weld a flange onto the pipe because it it not a male tube/male tube outlet. (unless your looking at getting the polished Bosch style BOV, which is ABSOLUTE crap.)...

    Creaking Steering

    Sounds like ball joint. Jack car up and wiggle wheels check for play. if no play, problem could be from lack of grease. Only real way to check is by replacing the balljoint with a new GREASABLE one.

    Vortech Mini Race used as a BOV?

    The key is you must vent the air out BEFORE the MAF. IF you vent air after, the engine thinks it is getting X amount of air while it is really getting X - total air vented. This will lead to a very rich condition and in the very short term, cause your engine to stall. In the long term, it will...
