    are ford gt-40x heads any good

    stock heads are somewhere near 58-60cc depending on mfg tolerances. The x heads are the best of the gt-40 family of heads. They still come up a bit short when compared to AFR's, Trickflows, Canfield, Brodix. But they are good streetable heads.

    tob?

    I think that they do contain ball bearings. I really cant see the need for needle bearings in a TOB...although maybe they should consider that. I just cant seem to keep a TOB in my trans for more than 5k miles without it squealing like hell. I've packed them tight with grease and still no...

    New Parts for Xmas

    i also think that a nice custom stalled converter would be the best improvement for your car. People normally see around .25 drop in ET from just a converter. Combined with a shift kit...your auto will outrun many average 5-spd drivers out there. I also agree that you can pick up an...

    OIL FILTER STUDY, CHECK THIS OUT!

    Hum...i have always run the FL1A motorcraft filter. According to the testing he did..it had the largest filtering area (400 in^2) and used a high flow synthetic substrate. For the cheap price of 3 bucks. I dont think i will be changing my filter brand anytime soon. Especially running...

    Car will not get up to operating temperature

    Have you verified the ACTUAL temperature with a known good gauge? I use an autometer pro-comp electrical water temp gauge and its deadly accurate! It will even show a minute change in temp when i climb a steep hill for an extended period of time...where as the stocker never really moved...

    TRICK FLOW/GT40P COMBO?

    I think the track heat intake is a little agressive but not overkill. The heads are fairly efficient but they are a midrange power head. I think they would be slightly better matched to an explorer/cobra intake. The cam will work out fairly well for you. I do think you need to get rid of the...

    kenne bell and Turbo Combo

    Yup...the VGT designs are excellent. I know the ford diesels dont use them but they use sequential turbos...one small and one large. If you have ever heard one of these take off before. You hear the small turbo spool right off idle! The same principles apply with the VGT design...but all...

    Cowl high pressure area, anyone getting air from there?

    Those pictures posted about should give you a decent idea of the amount of work required to do this. Secondly...notice that all those cars are carbed. I dont think this is a good idea for an injected car. Some of those setups have a filter element inside the cowl area. Looks like this would...

    Need help setting up Stang for road racing track day

    i think i would also put a little more attention to the braking system. The stock fox brakes are horrible to say the least. My car has slotted rotors, EBC pads, MM metal caliper bushings and good synthetic fluid and it still stops like crap! I would suggest a full five lug and 4-disk setup...

    notches rule lol pic

    my girl hates notches. She loves the GT look...convenient. I have her trained to tell the difference between v4/v6 and v8 for every body style from foxes to the s197's. All i have to do is ask her if a mustang is "cool" or not! What a sweetheart!

    what supercharger is best?

    Damn...for 12k you should be looking at building a serious motor before even looking at a blower. i would start with a big inch dart block stroker....maybe a 392? Toss some AFR 205's on there with a TFS-R or EFI Victor intake and a custom cam. Maybe a solid roller?? That should run you a...

    Enough to run down...

    a good HCI fox with gears and suspension should have no problem dispensing with an LS1...it takes about 280-300rwhp to beat one. My car will SLOWLY walk a 6 spd stock LS1.

    10 Second 86' Fox HELP!

    Well i think that there is a lot of good info here on different ways to get into the tens. There are three things you can build/shoot for. FAST, RELIABLE, and CHEAP....you can pick only two. It seems like you are most concerned with fast and cheap. You have an 86 that doesnt need to be DD'd...

    who DD there fox? get in here if so...few quetions for ya.

    i've been DDing mine for the past four or five years. I run studded snows on the back and regular snows on the front and its manageable. But its still horrible. You can get by in a couple inches of snow...but anything more than thats its really impossible.

    How much vacuum at Idle?

    There is no clear cut answer for vac at idle. It will depend completely on the combination. An e-cam in a stock Heads/intake car will pull a different amount of vacuum than a full on HCI setup. I run the steeda # 18 cam which is similar to the E-cam...and i pull about 15" at idle as well. No...

    Battery Draw Test Procedure

    no its not anything simple like a light staying on...i have checked all those possibilities many times. I think this is probably an exposed/grounded wire that isnt supposed to be. I have been doing some reading about how to test for parasitic draw...i will try it tomorrow and see what i come...

    Battery Draw Test Procedure

    Jake...thank you for the information. That was very helpful. So instead of testing the voltage across the bat, i should be testing the amp draw through the circuit. Do you know if the headlight and taillight circuits are on the same fuse? or if they are even fused at all? Thanks again for...

    Battery Draw Test Procedure

    Hey guys...i've had this problem lately with my battery going dead after just one week of the car sitting. I just went out there to start the car now and it was completely dead. The car has a 130A 3G alternator on there with all the appropriate wiring...and the car charges fine when running...
