    Nitrous Gurus?

    Yes, bad idea. It's been done and some have succeeded in not breaking anything. I was running a 125 shot on my stock pump and it didn't pop. Anymore than that or if I get serious about spraying again, in goes an SVT pump.

    Replacing Steering Rack Bushings

    If I remember correctly, I did disconnect the steering shaft. It's only one bolt and not hard to get to. The bushings make a subtle, but noticeable difference. Not a hard job but plenty to bust your knuckles on.

    Mustang Week 2012!

    I drank countless bottles of water or sports drink and several glasses of tea and water, only took a leak once... haha. There are going to be some lobsters tomorrow. Tank, you going to Darlington?

    Cam Only????

    You can, depending on the cam. Some are mild enough that they'll work fine without porting the heads or even changing the valve springs. However, these will be the cams that give the most minimal gains. What are your goals with the car?

    Car Is Making Strange Noise

    They will squeak for a very long time before they fail in most cases. Mine did for at least 3-4 years before it started to whine/howl. At that point, I got about 3 months out of it before it grenaded while I was driving. Sounds like yours isn't going to give you that much time. You planning...

    Dear Ford: The Third Starter Bolt

    Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't think of that. My logic was pretty much remove the other two and go to war with the one that was holding me back, ha. I was thinking how glad I was I didn't have LT's to get in the way of dropping the trans. Now that everything is out of the way, it'd be a lot...

    Mustang Week 2012!

    Well, car isn't together and this is the first day of MW. It all came down to the flywheel. It's got stress cracks and I don't feel comfortable resurfacing it and throwing it back in there. This will be my first Mustang Week without my car since 2006 when I bought it. Damn... The meet and...

    I GOT ACCEPTED!!!11!!!1!!!1 =D

    Welcome back. I'm on here a lot less too now. I did the college thing too. Granted I didn't go to Stanford, but I was pretty happy with my performance and graduating GPA. My school is known for its business programs (my field of study) and kind of notorious for being a big party school on the...

    Dear Ford: The Third Starter Bolt

    Yeah that would have helped. I assume that whoever did the clutch before stripped it to begin with and idiotically, decided it was a good idea to put it back as tight as they could get it. Stuck exhaust bolts are nightmares as well.. I feel your pain, haha. If you're doing all that, it'd be...

    Dear Ford: The Third Starter Bolt

    Preface: My morning started off with a call from work saying if I wanted the day off, I could take it. Three days off in a row? Don't mind if I do. I rose early with the intentions of having my trans on the ground by the afternoon so I could take the flywheel to get resurfaced and prep...

    Advice On Cleaning A Set Of Heads

    I like how you pop back in every year or so with a random question... haha. Glad to see you're still around. If you're going to store them for a long period of time, it might be a good idea to lightly coat them in some type of lubricant... and seal them up in a bag. If they're clean now...

    New Horse (sorta) In The Stable!

    Since we're talking about Harley's... I have an '86 Yamaha FZ750, old school sports bike right about the time they started paving the way for the bikes of today. The carbs have been jetted, it has a 4-2-1 exhaust (Kerker), Accell ignition, and the airbox has been ditched for individual...

    Ls1 Gto's

    I think the LS1 GTO will have the advantage on top end... as in over 100mph, say from a high roll race. Even in the heavier GTO I think the top end pull of the LS would be enough to come around a comparable 2v at that point.

    Mustang Week 2012!

    Well, seeing as I wait on everyone to come back for a year.. I just need to get my car back on the road. Clutch is in the mail, need a few other parts and the biggest hurdle; time! IF I can even get the car on the road, it'll be babied. This would be my first year not running at Darlington.

    Stalling After Stage 1 Heads & Cams Install

    Yep. Computer doesn't know what to do with the change in airflow at lower RPM. Once you're driving and the engine is turning higher RPM, there's no need for idle parameters to figure out how to keep the engine from stalling. Unless there's physically a mechanical problem with the parts or...

    Sve Econoshift Short Throw

    I'd want to try one out before I got it. I don't know how much better than stock they could be for the price versus paying $100 or so more for a true aftermarket shifter. I have the MGW and it's smooth as butter and constructed so well you won't want to use a shift boot just so you can look at...

    Power Adder guys...Thinking about joining you

    That sucks, but it'll be even more worth it when you do spray it for the first time. Stock intake, as in manifold? Yes... take the proper precautions, you'll be good. I've smacked the limiter on accident while spraying and luckily my backfires were out of the exhaust. However, I had a friend...

    Ls1 Gto's

    Holy crap dude, I just looked at your sig. Out of the 'Stang game all together?! Nice collection you got though.. A buddy of mine had a basic bolt on auto LS1 GTO. Nice cars, as stated respond like any other LS1. Once you start getting into the engine, doesn't really make a difference until...
