    more problems with engine, please help

    i find it hard to believe the coolant is "Boiling" from being vaporized. A 50/50 blend of coolant and water in a coolant system sustaining a 15lb cap will boil around 265 degrees. When you see the coolant boiling, put your finger in it to see if it is hot or not (should be able to tell by...

    What is wrong with titanium valves for the street (daily driver)?

    Nah, just pointing out the fact that I have a 450rwhp mustang and I puss it around town. When we first all got our cars, they drove around like arrogant 17 year olds behind the wheel while I just cruised around and did some highway pulls once in a blue moon. If you are running a big cam...

    What is wrong with titanium valves for the street (daily driver)?

    I was not able to find a direct Ti setup for a small block Ford but I found a setup for a Chrysler and they want $1,300 for valves and retainers. Wouldn't be surprised if Ford valves were a little more so $1,500+ is a pretty good estimate. I can't see spending this much on valves unless I...

    Hurst Shifters

    DON'T BUY IT!!! I put one on my stock tranny and it worked great until I swapped it to my new G-Force T-5 8 MONTHS LATER. Wouldn't you know I couldnt get it into any gears. Tearing it apart I found the ball from the handle has worn the socket in the base of the shifter really bad and was enough...

    What is wrong with titanium valves for the street (daily driver)?

    You sound like one of my friends!!! :rlaugh: That's all I pretty much do except for the 4-5 times I make it to the track during the summer and a couple full throttle pulls on the street when I have the room. That's pretty funny you said that tho cause I should be making around 450rwhp and...

    Nitto nt-555R Drag Radials

    What is the width of your wheel? Would it be advisable to put 275 nitto's on a 7" wide pony wheel or is the min 8" for this tire. I guess a Nitto 275 is equivalent to a 255 regular tire so i'm guessing it might be too wide.

    What is wrong with titanium valves for the street (daily driver)?

    Here's some good reading. Pretty much describes exactly what I wrote in a little more detail. Probably not the best money spent on a street motor, but defiantly not a COMPLETE waste!!!! http://www.928developments.com/titanium_valvetrain_analysis.htm

    ha check out these new times!

    At what rpm were these tests done? idle? 6,000rpms? I find it hard to believe the water pump only draws 1hp to turn at 6,000 rpm, unless i'm reading this wrong. The biggest benefit of an electric water pump I have found is being able to turn the pump on with the car off to cool the motor down...

    Nitto nt-555R Drag Radials

    I plan on ordering the 245 Nitto 555r's for street driving also. Hope the grip of these are enough to hold 450rwhp a little better than my 245 Falken street tires. Basically 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd are completely useless. Strype When you get em mounted, let us know how they worked out...

    What is wrong with titanium valves for the street (daily driver)?

    Titanium valves would defiantly help out your drivetrain. You wouldn't need to worry about running as high spring pressures to keep the valves from floating also. Pretty sure they are more durable too. Couldn't really tell you much more than that... Modular2v Why would GM implement Ti...

    Take off supercharger belt for the winter???

    I've had my blower belt come off on the road, and it drove around perfect without it. It was just an idea to make the charger last a little longer. I think this topic is retarded in my case since I been driving it around in the winter for the past 4 years with "zero" problems. I hardly even...

    Take off supercharger belt for the winter???

    I know Vortech recommends not using the supercharger in the cold because of the tight tolerances which are used in the head unit, so I thought about taking off the belt this winter if I ever have to move the stang around for some reason. I figured this would be fine since I'm 90% sure the...

    E7 Powerheads vs. Aluminum Heads, What would I gain?

    I am running powerheads, 1.7 rockers, typhoon intake, 70mm throttle body, 42# injectors and 1-5/8" bkk shorties. With my 302 shortblock, stock cam, and 10psi from a SC-Trim (small supercharger) I made 405rwhp, I recently added a Crane 2031 cam, 331 stroker, and better mufflers and hoping for...

    Why do Grannatelli Control Arms Suck?

    yeah this was a big contraversey about 2 years ago with them. I run their weight jacker lowers along with their double adjustable uppers. If I had to do it again, i would spend the extra money and get wolfe racecraft, Team Z, or the Steeda's. Yes, they all cost about double, but it will be the...

    G-Force T-5 Tranny Problem.... Tranny people I need advice!!

    I didn't measure this but can when I pull it out. I got it directly from G-Force and stuck it in the car. That's another thing i should check when I get it out. Thanks for the input on the output shaft :)

    G-Force T-5 Tranny Problem.... Tranny people I need advice!!

    Well I've had the tranny for about a year and a half now and had the driveshaft out about 5 times since than. Since the tranny was new, I had a problem installing the yoke of the driveshaft into the back of the tranny. Took a couple times to get it to slide all the way on and had bad vibrations...

    anyone ever get sponsored?

    I wanna know too. I put a LaRocca's Performance sticker on both sides of my car and the only thing I got was a bill for $675 for the dyno tune they performed on my car.

    what do you run under your pony?

    Weird why you have a drone at a certain rpm. I have the stainless works pipes which are similar in design to the bullits and I have 0 drone. It get louder the higher the rpms go up.
