    Only one wheel spinning.

    look into the +1 mod. It adds one clutch to each side and allows the trac loc to last a little longer. The Steeda rebuild kit has great directions for a regular rebuild, and the +1 mod. It's $50 on their site I believe.

    6 or 8 bolt crank?

    Going by the year alone will not work. Also, upgrading to the 11" clutch is not needed. Here is how to identify which crank pattern you have: Romeo built engines have 6 bolts and Windsor built engines have 8 bolts. All Cobra engines have 8 bolts. The 8th character in the VIN is (X) for...

    200mph safety questions

    I could do them one of these weeknights. Do you want round or square tube? (I suggest round) and do you want it all fancy powdercoated? If so, that wont happen in time. If you just want some kick a$$ SFC's with Krylon's Best on them, then I'm your guy. Give me a call this weekend and we'll...

    200mph safety questions

    Thanks for all the input. As long as I can get to 100 in the first 1/2 mile, I should be ok. At 95mph I have roughly 500lbs of downforce on both the front and rear of the car. This, luckly happens to be right at about where the turbo (should) do the normal spike where it hits its efficiency...

    Tranny swap question. searched.

    clutch pedal requires no cutting, pure bolt in. Auto tranny function can be turned off with custom tune, however, the only side affect from not turning them off is a check engine light. just because one car does one thing, doesnt mean it holds true for a stang.

    Engine Ping

    Check vac line to the fuel pressure regulator on the driver's side fuel rail. Unlikely, but, I had mine come off on a hard shift... engine was pinging... well, sounded like sheet metal ratteling it was so bad. Oops.

    200mph safety questions

    wow, glad this post didn't get that crazy. I watched some videos of land speed record attempts gone wrong.... I think I need more cage now.... Lots more. And I have to find a parachute somewhere, cant find used ones, and new ones cost more than my engine. Wonder if the Tech inspectors will...

    200mph safety questions

    Yea, the safety stuff is gunna run a pretty penny, I'm trying to find one of those neck restraints that nascar requires now, because if I do lift, I'm sure the drop will suck worse than any wreck i've been in yet...

    200mph safety questions

    well, considering that the car has already been to 173, another 27mph isnt too much to ask. After looking at my options, I'm probably going to go with the fiberglass cover and run w/ the top down. I have a custom front end almost done and a belly pan already on the car to suck her to the ground...

    200mph safety questions

    200mph safety questions

    What is the highest speed that the convertable top will remain attached to a 99gt? I'm going out to bonneville this september and am extremely concerned about the top staying on. I also believe that if it does remain attached, it will bubble up so much that it will cause a lot of drag and...

    Coolant in spark plug holes

    Try replacing the intake gaskets first (cheapest way) if the coils went out, they are probably toast. Mine sucked ever since they got wet. IF you have the cash to get the updated intake, do it as well, because if your intake isnt cracked yet, it will soon. There is a guy on ebay selling sets of...
