    Bullit vs. Mach1 Suspension? The same?

    yeah my .02 would be if you want to go with one of those two choose the mach 1 setup as you don't really need the sway bars.

    What are the sping rates for H&R Sport and Super Sport Springs???

    i though rear was 250-285 on the sports and 275-300 on the supersports I would say get the sports. I have the supersports and the ride is a tad harsh. Loosk and handling pretty good but you feel the rough road. smooth road feels fine. I love the SS on good pavement but if I ever have to...

    Intervals between oil changes? Synthetic

    still stock sevice interval boosted or not. if you go look at a non turbo vs a turbo diesel the oil change interval is the same. they will schedule it different for heavy towing though. I was not try to say that the mustang vs truck sevice interval are the same. boost is boost...

    So how hard is it really, to change the rear end gear?

    there is not much science at all. it is very mathmatical. you backlash, rotating force, and wear pattern are all know items. it does require patience though. you have to do it till it is correct period. on mine the stock pinion shim worked and it took two times in with the carrier for the...

    Intervals between oil changes? Synthetic

    Intervals between oil changes? Synthetic

    the color of the oil is completely irrelevent. ther is no good full synthetic oil that will be broken down at 2k. no way no how. If you don't belive me send a sample to be tested. it will come back perfect at 3X that milage. I have noticed in these thread that there are just many...

    Intervals between oil changes? Synthetic

    the answer is simply yes. as for how long I would go to castrols website and look at thier recomened serive interval. Not all synthetics are the same. there are grades to them as well. you need to find out what is in your car to make an exact milage decision. 3k is just stupid. My...

    Rear-end is STILL leaking after taking it back 3 different times!

    just buy three quarts of royal purple 75-140 and you will use a bit over two. I like the royal purple because the modifier is already in it. no chattering issues or anything.

    Rear-end is STILL leaking after taking it back 3 different times!

    I don't understand this part. are they saying the LS will fail or something or you seals will fail? your gears and bearings are not going to care if if you run synthetic fluid. There is no way you would need a complete overhaul. i would clarify what they are talking about on this one. I...

    Which S/C upgrade to get ???

    I don't think you should need that to get to 8psi. I though the stock kit was suposed to be 8psi but i could be wrong. i would verify the obvious intake track, guage connections, pulley size. also call MPH as they install tons of them so they may have some better troubleshooting tips. they...

    4.10's, what are carrier bearings?

    how many miles are on the car? most poeple kind of just use milage as a guide as weather or not to replace bearings. that being said if you milage is low most likely you could re-use them. In my case I was replacing the carrier so it was a no brainer to me. that way I did not have to...

    JBA header???'s

    they sell the different sizes because at different power levels you need different primary tubes to optimize hp. 4.6L 2v n/a I would use the 1 5/8 set. If you plan to boost you would consider larger tubes at a certain hp level. since you already have them though I don't know what to tell you...
