    Alternate mounting locations for overflow jug?

    Same here, I stuffed the stock one up into the drivers side fender. You'll need some more hose to go from the radiator to the overflow though. I do however plan to get a nice overflow can with a drain in the bottom from summit.

    cylinder head questions

    I would take that $1000 and just get different heads altogether. Thumpers, GT-40P(Req' new headers), GT-40(Iron), Roush 180s are good budget head options. May try to snag a set off of e-Bay even. If you're not going to get them E7TE's ported then just leave them alone altogether, lol. Those...

    New camTFS-51402000

    If he's giving you a good deal go ahead and get the cam but as the others were saying you should just wait until you do the heads and intake. I have the TFS Stage 1 in my car and that cam doesn't really pick up until about 3100 RPM. Without better heads and intake it could very well hurt your...

    What heads do I want?

    I'm happy so far with my 165's... they just look like high quality right from the box. Unfortunatly I can't run the car at the local 1/8th mile track until I get a helmet. (I moved to a new area) Damn! If you're going to go supercharged maybe you want to step up to AFR 185's. The smaller...

    Ice bags on intake manifold?

    This is kinda off-topic but my dad keeps bugging me to install a cool can for the fuel line to run through. Supposedly you get a nice solid container put a drain plug/petcock on the bottom and then a coiled section of the metal fuel line inside and dump ice water in the can... cool fuel...

    Advise on comb..give me some thoughts

    Maybe you already done this but... I have the Typhoon also and I ported the heck out of it. I have to agree with the person who said thier casting isn't great... it's looks fine from the outside but the runners in the lower need work. The upper isn't real bad but I gave it a once over to...

    How do I get my 60ft times down???

    I've heard that it's good to change out the springs, the stock ones are tired. i'm thinking they compress to easily. ...But I don't like how the Eibach Pro springs ride, my truck rides better than that, my bro has them on his 87GT.

    Lowering 60fts

    Give it time... Stock axles break under less power... also depending upon what RPM you launch at too. For $250 I'd say it's at least peace of mind, once the axle breaks theres nothing keeping your wheel on the car, better than C-clip eliminators IMO. Personally I'm not even going to run...

    How do I get my 60ft times down???

    What are these 275/50/15's, drag radials or regular tires? Get some slicks or lower the tire pressure if you have drag radials. I run my Nittos at 15 PSI, hooks decent for a drag radial.

    Lowering 60fts

    1. Upper and Lower control arms 2. Better springs 3. Better shocks/struts (drag shocks for rear) After that... are you using slicks/drag radials or just regular radials? After you have decent tires and upgraded suspension you should be able to launch at a higher RPM... if you hook well your...

    I need help spending my money

    You've already got a laundry list of stuff on your car man, lol. Maybe you could get a set of slicks if you don't already have some. I kinda like the Crane HI-6 Ignition and the LX92/1 coil (it's on my "to buy" list). This wouldn't be spending much but if you have the hood clearance you could...

    AFR 165 head plugs!? *Help*

    Thats the one... it should go right back in the same spot on the AFRs (if they're the smog legal ones). That pipe used to lead to another junction that went to the H-pipe (at least on mine it did). So you can put that back on and plug the end of it, won't cost anything except maybe 1 or 2 pounds.

    AFR 165 head plugs!? *Help*

    I just put on a set of AFR 165s about a month ago, the holes in the back are for the smog. What I did was take that pipe that was connected to the back of the stock heads (where those holes are) and put it back on the AFRs, but I plugged where the pipes join and come out at that larger round...

    trickflow stage one cam..

    I have that cam, I did notice a loss in bottom end but a big gain up top. I done the Heads/Cam/Intake/Headers/Mass Air Meter/Injectors/Throttle Body/Smog Del./AC Del. all at the same time, so I can't say how much the cam is to blame or the loss of bottom end. My setup kicks in hard at about...

    Custom Chips [Who burns good ones?]

    Now that I've got the combo together I need a chip to solve the terrible idle, get around the rev limiter, and just top off the rest of the mods. There isn't a Dyno within like 8 hours of here so actually going to a place is out of the question. I need a good "Mail Order" chip. Anyone have a...
