    Binary Editor To Disable TAB/TAD?

    You should start with the A9L2 base tune for the Moates chip. This was designed as a starting point with the change you already asked for. http://www.efidynotuning.com/a9l2.htm If you go through the rest of the website they have guides for tuning as well or services if you need them.

    Progress Thread '88 GT Hell Horse - All over the place

    I do appreciate your idea and have plans on sending this engine to the moon, but its only on one set course of destruction via boosting past the "500hp limits". Until then, I rather keep it in one piece, so I can have some fun with this build before it meets its end.

    Progress Thread '88 GT Hell Horse - All over the place

    I went through and installed rods and pistons into each bore marking the areas that needed to be notched on the block. I then disassembled the entire block for grinding of those areas with a carbide bit on my angle grinder and smoothing it out with my dremel. I used a sheet to cover the...

    Progress Thread Progress Thread kinda stalled- looking to get it back going again!

    I have been getting my brake pads from Rockauto these days. I use the Raybestos Elements3 on multiple cars and they are great.

    What motor mounts are you currently using? Many of the poly style do increase the height of the engine so you could look at the convertible to lower it back down.

    Time for an update now that I have been able sneak out to work on the engine. So yes, I was able to pick up everything last Friday, but then everything sat over the 3-day holiday weekend. Everyone knows how it goes for having time to work in the garage during those times. So today I got the...

    Build Thread Enola- Finishing touches

    Rack and Pinion Rockauto is your friend, but depends on if you just want to replace with stock or moving to a 99-04 GT rack. This means you would have to change the outer tie rods and the steering shaft as well.

    They do have a piston from me that was used for the balancing of the crank and the fitment of the block. The reason they are not finish honing is because I am checking the rod clearance to the block, so they honed it just enough to get the piston in. I need to make sure the rod bolts are not...

    Progress Thread '88 GT Hell Horse - All over the place

    I heard back from the Machine Shop and the block is ready for me to pick it up. They have the bores done just enough to get the pistons in, so I can check the clearance of the block. They also spun my new crank and it needed to be balanced, so they got that all done as well. I will be picking...

    That is why I am taking the extra steps just to be sure, because I want to make sure its right the 1st time. I will be running an I-Beam rod with ARP 2000 Bolts, so hopefully Im able to get the block back this week to work on it over the holiday weekend.

    Build Thread Enola- Finishing touches

    Yes, the spring isolators will increase the height about 1/2" or so due to the added thickness of the isolators top and bottom. I agree with your above raising the height in the front first as you may not need to add them. You can always go with rear coilovers, but that's just me trying to...

    The offset bushing kit came in from S&S Engineering which includes the bushings, rotor spacers, 10.9 bolts, and roll pin and drill bit. This is a well thought out kit in my eyes, and should make the installation process a lot easier. I also heard back from the Machine Shop that they should...

    Progress Thread 88 Black GT - DD

    So I was able to get some work done but not as much as planned like most of us. I got the shocks and struts replaced along with replacing the front brake pads while I was in there. Since the rotor needed to come off to get to the strut bolts I went ahead and repacked the bearings too. Not...

    Do you color sanding then clearcoat? Probably not because you are that good, but thought I would ask :O_o:

    I just got in the first part for the new front brakes the XTS Brembo Calipers. These things are huge and wasn't expecting them to be this big. The bushings look to be arriving tomorrow from S&S Engineering

    I have considered going to the larger Taurus rear calipers, but are unsure as you are in the effects of the master cylinder sizing that would be needed due to the large increase is caliper piston sizing. The difference in caliper piston size going from the 38mm to 43mm is a 28% increase in...

    Called the Machine Shop and they are sleeving the block this week, so should hopefully be able to pick it up to notch it for the stroker by the end of the week. Then I can take it back to them for final hone, wash, and install cam bearings and freeze plugs. Goal is to start building out the...

    With the weather not working with me and listening to others about sleeving that one cylinder I'm going to listen and give the machine shop a call tomorrow to tell them to go ahead. Later in the future there were plans to put in an aftermarket block, but for now this will keep the project...

    Mike, I did talk to the machine shop about sleeving that cylinder, and he said that he could and would be find if I was NA. But after I told him that I am going to be boosting the engine with a turbo with the goal of beating the crap out of this engine on a road course he said he personally...
