    O Please help!!!!

    Well, it's far from a custom tune, so between free and $400. I would say it's worth whatever a set of MIL's sells for. It really only takes a few minutes. No dyno needed. If you have cats then leave the rears alone. Also, you said the SLP X pipe only has one cat?!?! ...not really following...

    O Please help!!!!

    MIL's suck. Toss them in the trash and go to any decent ford shop. They can turn off the rear O2's in the stock programing. Using MIL's is like using tape to hold your SFC's on...

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    Of everyone on here, who has actually run more than one brand of K member on they're car? Well? I dont jump on here after reading MM's website and start running my mouth. Listen, the extra cash you spend for an MM product gets you an extra brace. one that cost me about $3 to fabricate...

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    So your are comparing completely different cars with different K members that are most likely NOT sharing IDENTICAL suspension setups, or even tires and wheels. You can NOT compare like that. Hell, one guy could have had a low tire in front and made the worlds best K member understeer like a...

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    Have YOU actually measured the affects from moving the wheels foward? Or just read up on it. -There are NO actual added cornering abilities, faster 60' times, or shorter braking times due to moving the front wheels foward such a small amount. IF what your saying is true, a car with an...

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    the increased wheelbase is a pain, doesn't aid anything, and in most cars, causes severe rubbing issues. UPR is a great product. I have installed several of them on cars thet get the living crap beat out of them. I have gotten nothing but positive feedback from the people who are using them...

    also, you NEED the coilovers, the after market k member doesnt have a spring perch.

    Tubular k-member on a street car

    The UPR K member kit is $750 I believe and comes with the k member, a arms, bushings, coil over kit, and springs. I am running one and the quality is wonderful. Not a single issue after many track days at sebring. while your under there, get some urethane motor mounts.

    High RPM and cast crank

    I'm looking to keep it between 6,500 and 7,000rpm for 10 seconds at full load, producing 650 HP at the crank. And no, this isnt the engine going in my car. I'm doing a fully forged 5.0L stroker and I still worry about it on the salt haha.

    new stock motor and vortech pulley help

    Safe tune from Tim? Is this a mail order tune? If so, get a DYNO tune, not mail order. I don't car how good someone is, you can't properly tune a car without a dyno.

    Breaking loose

    I use BFG drag radial II's on the street. They hold over 550RWTQ on a nasty launch. Very streetable tire. Nitto's are crappy, I spun them like mad. As for breaking stuff, I have a stock rear and have launched with slicks a 4.5K several times with no problem. Don't "dump" the clutch, "slip" it...

    new stock motor and vortech pulley help

    3.25" pulley makes ~ 10 psi @ 5,800rpm on stock motor. Ditch that 3.60 now! it sucks! 3.25" pulley with a good tune will make 425, but I suggest tuning it to 400rwhp or less until you get an intercooler... Knock is a bioch get 42# injectors you might max out the stock MAF before...

    High RPM and cast crank

    Does anyone know of any failures of the cast 4.6L cranks due to RPM? Is anyone spinning their cast crank above 6K? If so, How high of an RPM does it normally see? Anyone running 7K rpm with the cast crank?
