    help me decide

    i dont like freeway driving or at the track doing 115 mph trying to keep it straight. It feels real sloppy. Im looking for a feel of a more modern car. Driving around town it's fine, but when you get some speed up it feels like your playing pin ball.. All the suspension is brand new and the...

    finally finished with paint

    best advice is trial and error + alot of research. if you plan on doin your own paint job go with 2 stage base coat clear and no metallic's. The 2 stage is very forgiving and easy to fix ooopsies..

    what starter for t-5 conversion

    im gonna stay away from the auto zone and kragen starter, nothing but bad luck. My battery is good, the last starter i had from them fell apart at the track last week. So i had to put another kragen in it to get it home. So it sounds like the powermaster works the best. Does it matter what year...

    what starter for t-5 conversion

    i did a t-5 conversion on my 68 from a 89 mustang 3 years ago. My motor is balanced out to 28 oz so i have the correct flywheel for it. Whats a good starter to use, it seems like my starters are wearing out pretty fast. I keep exchanging my stupid autozone junk, but i wanna buy a dependable...

    borgeson box

    i was thinking if that would work for a return. did you just drain it and attach a hose to it? didnt tap it out to make it bigger? what size fuel lines and what pump are you using? i need to go electric. one more question: what did you do with the pick up at the tank? is it still stock...

    borgeson box

    yeah, the intake side of the supercharger has the filter. I had a similar setup like urs, but i went down to the bottom with a flex hose. It looked like **** so i took it off. The supercharger sucking in header heat = big power loss. So if you come up with an idea let me know..lol..

    borgeson box

    The piping that goes to the super charger is custom made. Im only running around 8lbs of boost for now. i have a blow thru carb made from the carb shop. the fuel system is -8an with a mechanical boost referenced carter pump. I wanna up the boost but scared that my fuel system cant handle it. My...
