    My Rev Limiter isn't working. Why?

    Did a burnout the other day and my tach went all way to 7,000 plus when I floored it. Aren't 5.0's supposed to have a 6250rpm limiter? My car has very few mods and Anderson Ford Motorsport and a few other places said I must have a chip in the computer because that is the only way to delete the...

    Full-Length Subframe Connectors (Opinions)

    I am about to order FL Subs and want to know which ones work best. Have it narrowed down between: 1. Steeda 2. Maximum Motorsports 3. GRC Performance The Steeda and the MM Subs look almost identical except that I think the MM ones require more welding. The Steeda SFC's come with torque...

    I have H&R Springs w/ Bilsteins through Maximum Motorsports. They are great.

    Which is better? Kenny Brown Or Maximum Motorsports Chassis Bracing?

    If you don't mind...Where did you buy them from and how much did you pay? (It seems like if you buy direct from MM you pay more.)

    Which is better? Kenny Brown Or Maximum Motorsports Chassis Bracing?

    I will be purchasing Strut Tower Brace, Full-Length Subs, K-Member brace etc. all at the same time, from one company or the other. Who's stuff is the absolute best for a Fox Hatch?

    Can you put AFR 185's on a Stock 302?

    Doing H/C/I and want to do it right the first time. Will eventually run a supercharger so I want the Holley Sytemax Intake w/ custom cam and AFR Heads. Would 185's be over-kill on a stock 5.0 motor no matter what cam and intake? Would they work at all? Won't the Holley/Custom Cam/AFR Heads...

    How do I fix bent front seats?

    There was recently an article in 5.0 Mustangs & Super Fords addressing this exact condition. They showed you how to correctly repair the seatback. Sorry but I don't remember which issue. Try going to their Web Site and running a search.

    LS1 Vs LT1

    I've also heard that Ls1 and Lt1's respond well to simple bolt-ons and cam swaps but you don't see too many of them that are supercharged because they don't respond to well.

    I Hate My Flowmasters (Dronemasters).

    My car is a 91 GT with an O/R Bassani X-pipe, BBK Shorty Headers, and Flowmaster American Thunder CB. Ever since I put the Bassani X on, my car drones really bad around 2000 rpm and it resonates my interior and causes even more rattles and little buzzing sounds. The car sounds awesome at idle...

    Is front Ebrake cable needed on 91 GT?

    Hey guys, Its time for me to finally fix my ebrake, I did a rear disc conversion on my car a few months ago and have been driving around without one. All I have are the two rear cables (M-2809-A). The FRPP instructions that I downloaded show the use of a front cable (M-2810-A). Does anyone...

    Strange Sound in 1st & 2nd Gear

    I'll try what you said. B4 when I've checked the car has been up on a lift. BTW--your Fox looks sweet.

    Strange Sound in 1st & 2nd Gear

    I have a 91 GT 5 speed. Recently it started making a slight scraping sound from the drivetrain only at low rpms in 1st and 2nd Gear. At first I thought it was my driveshaft scraping my mufflers but I checked the clearance and everyting was OK. I don't think its a transmission problem--the car...

    5.0 into a 98 GT? How difficult?

    I've been looking at a 98 GT that a guy is seling near my area. He is selling it less engine and trans and I was wondering if I should stick to the 4.6 or if it would be easy to drop a 5.0 into it. I would rather go with the 5.0. Besides changing the computer, what other things will need to...

    Ranger Axles???

    Go to North Race Cars. I think they are in Gladstone, MO. They specialize in Factory Five Cobra conversions but those cars use the Ranger axles too. They sell Ranger length 5 lug axles that are 30% stronger than stock for a good price. Real nice people too, I dealt with some guy named Rich...

    Help! 2.3L w/ very fast idle...

    The car is an 89 LX with auto trans. When the car is in Park it idles way too fast (1500-2000 rpm) especially when it is cold. However, even once it warms up it still always idles around 1500 rpm. What could be causing this? What should I check first?

    Dumb springs question

    The two in the middle are the rears and outer ones in the picture are the front springs. The "pigtail" (top end in this photo) end of the spring goes down when you install them.

    Smog Pump Eliminator...

    I think the reason they say: "works with all supercharged applications" is because you can't run a short belt (84.5) if you have a blower. So basically, the only time you need to order an eliminator kit is if you plan on running a supercharger. Can anyone else confirm this?

    Convert GT into LX?

    I know a lot of people put ground effects on LX's, but how difficult is it to make a GT look like an LX? I really like the look of the LX hatchbacks better with those exhaust pipes sticking out from under the bumper, the cleaner lines in general and the extra weight savings.
