    what front tires to run with drop springs

    When I do my brake upgrade and run 17" wheels, I plan on rolling the lips on all 4. Running 275's up front and 295's out back. Mustangs are nose heavey and need all the help they can get in the corners/twisties. More tire up front better grip and less push/over steer. If you don't like the turns...

    LOW LOW #s on compresion test!! HELP!!

    Wow! I would suggest pulling that sucker apart. Oil in the throttle body maybe a sign that the previous owner had a blower/turbo on it that was damaged. Just a thought. I would tear it down to the block and check everything out. Valve seals, gaskets, cylinder bores and deck flatness. Plus, you...

    89 Mustang 5.0 Vibrates after hitting 60MPH

    We need a sticky with a check list for the "vibration" questions as much as they come up. It would be much easier then looking through all of the old post. Then posting a new thread because your tired of reading and skipped the one that actually had the answer.

    LOW LOW #s on compresion test!! HELP!!

    Where's the oil leaking from? Does the exhaust have smoke coming out. If so is it all the time? Is it blue or white with a sweet smell? How about the heads, are they stock iron or aluminum?

    Damn! in that video Brad trapped at 120mph and only did mid 13's. He is in need of some traction desperately. Your car rocks to, talk about a sleeper. I had a 85 notch with the 2.3 and I put a turbo setup from a 83 ranger on it. It was pretty quick, ran high 14's in the 1/4. Nothing like yours...

    Dyno tuning shop in michigan

    Livernois does a good race tune. My dad had his 94 cobra tuned there and it suffers at idle and cruise. Too rich for street driving. Puals high performance in Jackson does a great job on street tunes and race tunes. But, they are about 1hr and 35min. from you! Only 25min from me! Livernois is...

    I'm having trouble measuring piston to valve clearance (drop valve method)

    Summit racing, Jegs, autozone can order them, Murray's usually stocks them(by me anyways). Most machine shops carry them.

    got jacked....

    maybe the security guard is in on it! He did say it happens all the time. Don't tell any of your friends it happened. That's how I found my stereo stuff when it got stolen. Some of my friends came up and said hey I heard you got ripped off. Turned out to be friends of my friends that did it. The...
