    will 10:1 compression pass emissions.help

    sorry, but i disagree. the smog pump puts fresh air into the h pipe, and thus converters. the converters get hot, the un burned HC's get burned in the cats, UNLESS there is not enough O2 for cumbustion to occur........... no smog pump, with stang cats means not all the unburned HC's will be...

    will 10:1 compression pass emissions.help

    high NoX is from high combustion chamber temps, not neccisarily from being lean, being lean will sometimes cause a high chamber temp......unfortunately, unless your have access to a mustand dyno that can simulate load at steady state driving, you will never know your true a/f (aside from a...

    Is this a way to sneak past emissions testing?

    diabling the o2's (even if you could on obd I cars) will only send the comp into default mode, and ADD FUEL! thus raising your HC emmisions.......... sorry man. run 15-20 alcohol in the tank..........and cross your fingers.

    What problems can I expect if I blow my 140k motor

    you do not need an fmu you DO need 42# injectors you DO need a 90mm LMAF you do need a custom chip, twEECer, PMS, EEC-Tuner, or the like. You COULD get by with just a mafterburner, and the MSD boost/timing box that comes with an s-trim (assuming vortech??) But hot starts will be...

    Got a 93 5.0 that will not turn up!

    cullman, tryin to figger this one out........ now understand im not flaming here....... not possible for the eec to remove timing with no spout, it is an open circut, and thats that. if the timing is retarding, well then it has to be mechanical....which makes little sense. have you ever...

    Vortech or Powerdyne?? Supercharger guru's come on in, honest advice wanted..

    asthetics mean anything? not to some, but to others, they are quite important. I am a vortech fan, from a reliability standpoint..... and power, ease of install etc.... but if the powerdyne was no so ****ing ugly, and had a good rep reliability wise, more of them would be on the streets...

    Got a 93 5.0 that will not turn up!

    stop throwing money at it, and find the culprit..... the computer CANNOT pull timing out, IF the spout is removed. set the timing to ~ 30-33* initial, and keep the spout out. how does it run? if that does not fix it, well then, your comp is NOT pulling out timing....so look...

    Turn left, hear a roar from right front.....

    is it lowered? if ya running not enough negative camber, and the car is way low, the wheel can rool out at the top, and hit the fender, makes a hell of a noise. check the inside lip on your right fender...... mine does this with anything less than 1* of negative camber..... other thought...

    horsepuppies. thats the easiest way. go get some of those, and you will be asking how to keep them from spinning..... fwiw, my STOCK 89 fries the tires, nitto nt555 245/45/17's with 2.73:1 gears, and a stock converter....however, my STOCK 91 lx conv, with hard as rock tires could not...

    Where do you guys launch with your stock AOD converter?

    well, i have cobra brakes, and my car does not move...at any rpm. highest i can get my converter to stall before the rear tires spin, about 1600-1700 (ok, about 1900 on HOT ASS pavement).... I have always had better results by letting the car idle, and mashing the throttle on the last...
