    anyone using water/meth for hp gain ??

    I use the stock washer fluid reservoir. It holds almost a gallon, not sure exactly but probably 3 to 3.5 quarts. I removed it, drilled a hole in the bottom and installed a bulkhead style fitting that has the push connect style connector for the nylon hose thats used in the kits and sealed it...

    Few Questions Regarding Wheel Spacers and Front Drag Wheels

    Don't know then. I run 1/2" spacer with the 15" Prostar skinnies but I have 3" studs on both cars. I've seen '03/04 cobras at the track running some pretty thick spacers to clear the brakes with no problems passing tech.

    Few Questions Regarding Wheel Spacers and Front Drag Wheels

    Why do they not pass tech, did they give any reason? What skinny wheels are you planning on running? Would the spacers work if you replaced the studs with longer ones?

    Anyone here using a scatter shield?

    I've been running a McLeod SFI unit for 4-5 years. It is basically the same as the Lakewood, but has variable mounting holes on one side so it fits both a T5 and Tremec. It is very heavy and a bit bulky and depending on what headers you use may need to be clearenced. It required a longer...

    Yup, hand tight. Technically, tighten till the gasket touches then an additional 3/4 turn more.

    Nitrous, who is running it?

    I haven't used N2O since about 2003, but last I heard around here it's about $5 - $5.50 per lb

    Nitrous, who is running it?

    I used to run a Zex dry 125 shot years back, also when it was cheaper to fill bottles. Make sure that it only activates under full throttle and to install a window switch so it will kill it if you miss a gear and rev the motor too high.

    National Childrens Memorial Day is Today 12/12/10

    I think about my son all the time. There is an Angel of Hope statue in a park nearby and they hold a Candlelight Memorial every year on Dec. 6th. This year was the third year my wife and I have gone to it, even in the freezing cold. Anthony Michael Starr August 14, 2007 - January 21, 2008

    Trak-Lok clutch question

    The carbon fiber clutch packs cost more but last longer, so it really depends if you want to spend more now and replace them less often or spend less now and replace them more often

    high speed fan not coming on?

    Do you have any diagnostic codes from the EEC? How old is the ECT sensor? Seeing that you just installed a new radiator and refilled the cooling system, did you purge the air out? What about the tstat? Did you replace it and is it installed in the correct direction?

    high speed fan not coming on?

    High speed fan will not come on when you turn heat on. Do you have the "in-line" circuit breaker at the fan plug? It's a black plastic box about the size of a pack of smokes with 2 silver colored self resetting breakers epoxied into it (I attached a pic). If you do, remove it and plug the...

    Need an AIR pipe for emissions

    I have one that I used to use to pass smog, but my state doesn't require smog anymore on '95 and older vehicles so I removed it a few years ago and it's sitting in the corner of the garage along with the black hoses and diverter valve that comes off the back of the pump. I think I used a piece...

    high speed fan not coming on?

    Could be a bad relay in the CCRM, could be a fuse in the power distribution block, could be a bad fan motor. Does the high speed fan come on when the a/c is turned on? Do you have the "Ford Recall Fix" circuit breaker between the fan plug harness and the fan motor? If so, remove it and...

    what tire should I use?

    Years back when I put longer studs on my '95 I used a reamer to enlarge the holes in the hub a bit and used the ARP 3" ones with the .615" knurl. The .615" knurl fit the back hubs just fine, but a bit too big for the fronts. When I put 3" studs on the '02, Moroso had just come out with their...

    what tire should I use?

    True, come to think of it the way the center hub part of the ProStars are made there will still be front brake interference no matter what back spacing you get...lol. Plus they require longer (3 inch) studs to be safe due to the thickness at the hub. Might be better off with some Telstars or...

    what tire should I use?

    Mine are 3.5" wide and they only come in one backspacing, something like 1.75". They do not clear the brakes unless you run a spacer or modifiy the caliper. Without modification you would need like a 1/2" spacer. If you remove the crossbar on the caliper you only need like a 5/16" spacer. If...
