    Optimum coolant temp???

    178-185 is optimal for our cars at the track for all out speed. This is fact. 500+ passes to back it up. These cars slow down quite a bit at 200 degrees. my 95 would consistently lose 1.5-2 mph in trap speed once it was around 200 degrees. I also only got the dreaded 95 pinging with e7s...

    turbo or supercharger

    It is as reliable as the tune that is on the car. I love turbos. You will make more power with the same amount of air. Because there is no energy being used to drive the belt. There is also no sideways stress on the crank snout or worn blower belts. you will make more average power because you...

    3.73 gear issue beating a dead horse but this is a lil different

    I would keep 3.73s because they are perfect for a SC car, unless he needs to do over 125-128 mph for some reason in a race. I would actually rec. 4.10s for an all motor car or bolton T5 because it is better. changing from 3.73s to 3.55s is a huge waste of money. Its not going to make a...

    which shifter is the best for the sn95

    It is more than just a shorter stick, because you can just buy a shorter stick and bolt in to the stock shifter. These things can save your tranny, especially if you are missing 3rd a lot. The biggest benefit is the shifter stops that keep you from bending shift forks. Make sure yours are...

    Engine 95 Gt 5.0ho Build-up

    thats just a waste of time and money in the mean time. the 351 intake lower will not work on your 302 and the gt40 intake is too mild for any type of real build. You can sell the lower on ebay and use the upper in the mean time but you would have to find a 302 lower... then sell it as a...

    Engine 95 Gt 5.0ho Build-up

    your step 1 with a 351 is very different if you are going 351 route. You can grab a set of used pulleys. You should go ahead and take care of the rear end and gears. Your catback of choice. this is a much harder project to do Phases because 351 parts do not mix with a lot of 302 parts. You...

    Engine 95 Gt 5.0ho Build-up

    I never once brought up stroking a 302. and I was refering to the fact that he mentioned a 351 that needed rebuilding vs. a running hydro roller 351 which would be pretty sweet, especially with milled gt40Ps! Talk about torque! Very good advice. Too many people get burned out on the wait and...

    Engine 95 Gt 5.0ho Build-up

    First off, the initial cost of an aftermarket n/A build is more than a power adder. If you sit down and add up parts/hp. I did not realize that you had the 351 already. You might work on just getting the suspension right the way you like it. I would sell off those Ps and the gt40s on ebay and...

    will 96 up alt pulley fit 94/95 alt?

    I would run the stock pulley. All of my severe charging issue went away after going back to the stock alt pulley with everything else aftermarket. You give up 1-1.5 hp. With the electric fan draw of these cars coupled with any stereo accessories that you might have, you will save yourself tons...

    radiator leak..

    I too live in a very hot climate. 170+ days this year over 90 degrees. The very best mod i ever did was go with the summit universal radiator that you can mod to fit in our cars. My car would run at 180 with no Fan at all. I had a manual fan switch and really only turned it on when in traffic...

    Engine 95 Gt 5.0ho Build-up

    so much going on in this thread now so I will keep this very short... as short as I can be. High HP N/A stroker builds. -Never cost effective, could have always been faster with FI with the same amount spent. - you need a certain level of craziness and a love for N/A to make this decision. -...

    Engine Swap Questions

    i would definitely go with 97+ And I would go ahead and pop in a cam while you are in there and replace the timing chain AND balancer. If you use yoru stock cam, use crane cobra 1.7 RRs and a retard your stock cam by 2 degrees. The explorer lower is Crap, but the upper is GREAT. either buy...

    biggest tires on a 15" rim 94/95

    here you go in 17s ;) I would run 245-275s on the front and 295-315s on the back. These are even more affordable, Unless you really want 15s for some reason. Magnum 500 Deep Dish Mustang Wheels and Rims

    Exhaust Video- Spintech Mufflers/OR-X/Headers

    now do you have the sportsman or the super pro street? The super pro street will give you the loudest and best sounding combo when it is all sai and done. The loudest good bolton 99-04 GT I ever heard had Long tubes, x and super pro streets. obviously SLP is loud, but it sounds like no muffler.

    bang for the buck: supercharger vs trickflow top end kit

    only real difference is the AGR port on the passenger side that has a pipe thread to redirect exhaust gasses. I DID run foxbody MAC Long tubes with no issues and deleted my EGR. It saved me a ton of money because I picked up headers for 100 bucks and prochamber in a trade. You can also only fit...
