    E85 and new Engine Build.

    The Flex Fuel vehicles Ford produces (new F-150s) do have an adaptive strategy that can add more spark based on the amount of E85 being run through the engine. This allows consumers to run straight gasoline and then mix E85 into their tank and still need slightly better results. E85 allows...

    5.0L Fox powered by Eaton M90 Supercharger

    I totally agree with everything you have said. However, I don't see the reason for putting more money into this blower when I can upgrade to a centrifugal blower in the future. If I was buying the blower I'd surely use the later gen. blowers. Saying the Eaton is a heat pump is almost an...

    5.0L Fox powered by Eaton M90 Supercharger

    Some new pictures.... I got the electric fan running and added a cheap coolant bottle until I find something better. I also put my hood back on, it had been at the painter. The new engine has 350 miles on it now, though I'm still taking it easy until I get a tune. It's been running great...

    How do u use a torque wrench?

    You are misunderstanding that website author. Just stop for a minute and consider the physics! If you look at the pictures closely on his website you will notice he is using the torque wrench to drive a much longer bar (to multiply the torque) and your equation will work fine. But, as I...

    How do u use a torque wrench?

    Your going to have to give a better explanation than that. Like I said, your formula may be correct, but you need to properly define "extension". If you are talking about an "extension" that effectively increases the length of the torque-wrench then this will obviously increase your...

    How do u use a torque wrench?

    You need to be much more clear when you give this information. You must not be talking about adding a 6" extension to the socket. This length does NOT matter when measuring torque. Torque is a measure of the perpendicular distance between the force your applying and the pivot point. Your...

    Best way to break in a clutch?

    500 miles, city driving highway is cool too but you can't cheat and leave it in 4th gear for 400 miles.... you need to keep shifting.... I would just down/upshift every so often on the 50 mph roads. :nice:

    Eaton blower on a 5.0?

    They would do great, but you'd need to make a custom intake if you wanted to mount it right on top of the engine.
