    91 GT 5.0 vs 97 z28 LT1

    The WS6 Trans Am and SS Camaro are cars to fear, stock. I personally witnessed an SS Camaro run 13.1 with his 6-speed, and the car was showroom stock. The WS6 is essentially an identical car. Regular 98-02 T/As have 305hp LS1s, and the WS6 Performance Package ups output to 325. My friend...

    4.10's vs 3.73's the saga continues

    I would say you've made a good choice. My car is mostly stock, and with the gears I run with lightly modded Subaru WRXs all the way past 100mph... Can't go wrong, I personally am willing to give up a mpg or two for the sake of having that extra edge over an opponent. There will also be a...

    Pulsing... Any thoughts?

    As the subject dictates ^^ I am feeling a rather large difference in power that seems to be coming on randomly. At times, I have a lot of kick but it really bogs down at other times. The weird thing is, the motor is revving normally no matter how sluggish its feeling. Even when its pulling...

    Thunderbird alternator?

    Heya fellas- I've been considering swapping to an electric fan of late and I've heard a lot of talk about the 3G alternator. I have a '90 T-Bird (Not an SC) that's got fried heads and transmission and is on its way to the junkyard this week. Is the stock Thunderbird alternator a 3G or is...

    Different 5L Conversion Question

    Hey there- I just found an '88 Lincoln MkVII LSC at a friend's house sitting in the back with a busted rear end. It has a 5.0HO, 5 lugs, and 4-wheel disc brakes. My question is this - What brake/wheel parts can I swap onto my '88 GT? Are those bolt patterns the same as later 5 lug setups or...

    Headlight questions

    I've been wondering the same thing actually. I've heard nail polish remover will work, and I plan to try that after it stops raining. Anyone have a good idea for this?

    A/Cs and other things

    Ok, a couple questions for those of you who have had experience with these cars. I'm still working on having a good working knowledge of the ins and outs, hence these questions. When I went to order a serpentine belt for my '88 GT, there was an option on the shop's list for Mustangs without...

    Bolt on 5.0?

    5.0GT is totally on the mark I'd guess. Stock heads for these engines are pretty crappy for breathing, so a swap to a higher-flow set would really open up your engine's potential. Not bad for a pair of bolt-ons.

    Very tired of my injected 5.0, going carbed ? What U think ??

    Going carbed might be more trouble than its worth. Carbs offer easier mixture tuning and adjustment, and often easily provide a more desirable power curve, but for the cost of switching over you could get a new ignition system, fuel pump and perhaps larger injectors. It's all a matter of...

    Fuel Pump Noise?

    On that note about "going crazy", how does one define that? Is a 255lph too much for a basically stock engine setup? I'm a total moron when it comes to EFI. Mine has been whining since I bought the car, about 6 months/6000 miles ago. It had a lot of trouble starting for a while, but that...

    Wheel Size questions

    Heyas- I have an 88 GT and I'm potentially getting my hands on some Cobra R rims, and due to costs I'd like to stay at 17". Currently, my stock-sized tires on the turbines rub at full lock for some reason on both sides, I can't help but think that this isn't normal. I'm just curious at to...
