    fuel system

    Why would you recommend an adjustible fpr? Is the stock fpr a restriction or is it for setting a different pressure?

    Fiberglass hoods hard to get good paint?

    Yes, I do have that instruction sheet. I reminded the shop owner about it and he said he knows and blah blah, we know what we're doing, etc. Well, I guess I know who not to go to for future work. After all, I'd love to have all the panels matching. :)

    Power steering too light

    I did some looking around with swapping that rack, but no one's said why they use it? Is it a higher ratio? Sounds like others recommended cutting the pressure relief spring in the pump.

    Fiberglass hoods hard to get good paint?

    I had a new Cervini's cowl hood put on and have been having a hell of time getting good body work. I went with a local shop that a Mustang enthusiast friend recommended. The short story: I test fitted the hood and by my blunder I botched the latch alignment which caused the hood to fly up on...

    Power steering too light

    Is a Fox power steering rack supposed to be very light and numb? I have 245's on all four wheels and I'm able to turn them without any real effort. That's nice for a Cadillac, but it's very numb to the road. Is there something on my ps pump can I tweak to get a sporty steering feel without...

    Retightening lower intake bolts?

    I just fixed a manifold leak caused by lower intake bolts working loose. I put on a new Felpro 1250 gasket and the car's running great now. But, I thought to check the bolt torque after a week of driving and found that some bolts were nice and tight and others could be turned some more. I...

    Max RPM for shifting?

    I guess I overestimated the RPMs this engine can handle. I've taken it to about 6k and it handled just fine. Sounded mean!

    just curious...opinions on downhill braking

    I once had a scare with brake fade when coming down a hill around Ithaca, NY in a beater '86 Delta 88. I rode the brakes down this hill and was barely able to stop in time for the stop sign at the bottom. I was young and didn't realize that downshifting would've really helped me out. I can...

    Max RPM for shifting?

    I bought this car not long ago and is now running smooth after fixing up some problems. One day this spring I plan on taking the car out to the track to see what it'll run. So, I was wondering what max RPM you think I can take the engine to before shifting. I know this is a little armchair...

    high volume oil pump question

    There are purposes of running a high volume pump. It will drag more horsepower from the engine to run it. You may need HV for racing purposes or if your bearings are getting worn and bleeding pressure. Your engine builder (assuming you have one) would know best. I switched to a high volume...

    Clutch Problem

    Sounds like it's a good idea to drop the transmission and take a closer look. HISSIN50 might be right.

    Clutch Problem

    Can you peek in the bellhousing to see if the fork is still attached to the throwout bearing and pivot ball?

    Handz Kona Shifter Handle Install on Pro 5.0 Shifter

    Wow, I need a shifter handle like that. I have the B&M shifter and this would be a better fitment for me. But after reading your testimony on Kona, I don't think it'd be worth the hassle.

    Slow throttle return

    I recently located a few sources of vacuum leak in mine. The previous owner had installed a mismatched upper to lower intake fastener that loosened, causing an air gap in the gasket. Also, the PCV managed to pop out of the lower intake and made for severe drivability issues. Additionally, I...

    Took a ride in a ~500hp evo 9!!

    Mustangs break, too. DSM/EVO clutches do not cost $1400 in parts. Need clarification. Again, clarification needed on overgeneralized statement. So far as I've seen, Mustang vs. DSM parts have not cost all that much different, whether common bolt-ons or engine/powertrain parts. Anyway...

    Took a ride in a ~500hp evo 9!!

    So who here has a 600hp turbo Mustang? Buelller? Bueller? Come on guys. Use some common sense. Turbocharging makes for very steep torque curves. Saying "600hp" doesn't tell the whole story. I can't speak for that run on Pass Time (esp. since I didn't see it yet), but in all honesty it...

    Tool needed for Trick Flow upper intake

    Btw, it was a plain old 5/16" 12-point for those bolts. Thanks for the help, guys.
