    New dyno #s , Damn this is crazy !!!

    Just saying they are not the best is not sufficient. Why are they not the best? How do you define best? Do you want to include any more testing parameters? Are you looking for the most midrange or low end power? Do they flow too much up top and it hurts velocity at lower rpms? Are the...

    Some Cobra Brake Upgrade Questions, what about rotors?, Please Help

    Ford sells everything you need in a package for like 179.00. I do not know the part number but I am sure someone on here knows.

    Some Cobra Brake Upgrade Questions, what about rotors?, Please Help

    Negative. You need the Cobra specific axle bracket, anti-moan bracket and rotor. You use your existing caliper with the cobra pads (they are thinner to accommodate the thicker rotor). There are 3 different caliper brackets for the 94+ cars. You can either get a cobra specific unit or grind the...

    New dyno #s , Damn this is crazy !!!

    How do you like that B-31 cam? I was considering putting it in my daily as it is the first reasonable cam that is supposed to be more 94-95 friendly. I realize you have the tweeker, but I was curious what you thought never the less.

    New Toys arrived PICS (and an offer on my car!!!)

    What made you decide on these heads? When I talked to jegs a couple of weeks ago, the flow data they gave me was as follows: .400 .500 .600 .700 258 288 307 332 153 177 194 202 Considering 247cc intake runners, it seemed like they did not flow as well...

    I LOVE fox's

    I would have bought a fox myself if I could have found a decent lx that did not have red interior.

    Rear/Underside Mounted Turbo Setup.

    This is a very key point. I can try and tell you why it is better to have the turbos under the hood till I am blue in the face and you guys will still not listen. The fact that the after market will not waste it's time engineering a setup is very significant. This is the exact opposite thing...

    Rear/Underside Mounted Turbo Setup.

    Well, right off the bat what works for a drag car is not always what works for a street car as well you know. I assume you are refering to the liquid intercoolers that sit behind the dash. There are a couple of issues when trying to compare the two setups in quesion. Drag guys never worry...

    Rear/Underside Mounted Turbo Setup.

    You could use a smaller pipe, but that is a band-aid for the problem. Using 2 inch piping will reduce the number to 288 cubic inches. I used 2.5 as an example because that is what I used for my charge piping and the great availability for mandrel bends. Keep in mind that this value is just the...

    Rear/Underside Mounted Turbo Setup.

    Last time I checked the volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*h. Assuming you use 2.5 inch intercooler piping and run that along the outside of he H pipe to the front of the engine, that is roughly 5 feet for each side. [3.14*1.5625*60 inches of pipe]*2 since there 2 pipes=588.75 cubic inches. This...

    Questions about CAI

    Aluminum actually has a high specific heat capacity. Therefore it will take more heat to raise the temperature of aluminum than say cast iron, copper, mercury, tin, zinc and so on. Unfortunately, aluminum will dissipate heat slower than all the other metals previously mentioned. The plastic...

    Rear/Underside Mounted Turbo Setup.

    Any rear mounted turbo is a waste of time. Aside from the very obvious oiling issues. The turbos are mounted below the oil pan. You not only have to feed them oil, but you have to suck the oil back out of them also. Boost control will be hard also since the vacuum lines will collapse if they...

    Ordering front mm coilover kit-need help choosing spring rates.

    The thing is that the coilover is going to increase the wheel rate significantly more per pound than a conventional spring. It is just the nature of the beast. More wheel rate just goes with the territory. Bilsteins are my preference for shocks, Tokicos would make the ride even worse. Just stick...

    Aluminum 0.902 joules/gram degree C Iron 0.450 joules/gram degree C q = Mass x Specific Heat x (Tfinal - Tinitial) You might want to check your physics out there buddy.

    Ordering front mm coilover kit-need help choosing spring rates.

    I would suggest you not buy coilovers. The pro-kit that you have gives you the drop you want and a relatively soft ride. The major advantage of coilovers is the ability to run a larger spring rate which you do not really want plus they weigh less, but you have a vert and it is a street car anyway.

    Ordering front mm coilover kit-need help choosing spring rates.

    MM has probably some of the best tech support you can get so you can give them a call. With that said, the stock valving in those bilsteins can not dampen past a 350 front. I think the rear is 250 (the maximum guy will know). I have been in cars with 425 fronts and it was pretty stiff. I am...

    worked stock heads vs aftermarket heads

    I am not sure people have a solid concept of how bad the stock heads actually are if you wanted to make power to the red line. With an E cam and 1.6 rockers, the stock heads can flow about half the air required for a stock displacement 302 to operate at around 85% at 6250. This is not taking...
