    rearend bearings bad?

    No... I see this at work all the time, old mechanic tales.. My favorite one is the you need X amount of horsepower to push shorter gears.. Facepalm is my typical reaction to this..

    Maintenance @ 50k??

    is KT still alive, I am shocked he has not posted to this yet.. Anybody live near him that can go check on him and make sure his cobra did not fall on him or something while he is changing his fuel filter for the 15th time this year

    Where to start my tool collection

    Just stay away from strap-on too expensive and not needed. Craftsman tools are fine, I have some craftsman stuff and they have done fine for me with everyday use in a shop.. Funny thing is I have broken more of my strap-on sockets then the craftsman or cheaper brands I have bought online

    Why I'm a convertible owner:

    Yeah that 700 pounds would make quite a difference. I still have heavy wheels ( cobra R's with 275's in the rear and 255's in the front) and still have the stock k member and iron block and A/c and really heavy leather power seats. This car has no power options other than the P/S the...

    Why I'm a convertible owner:

    They are nice but too heavy and a pain in the ass for safety equipment for what I use my stang for.. my car is 3100 pounds right now and that's too fat, I want to get it down to 2900 since my goal is to go as quick as I can with the power i have now ( not much) So in my plans it's going...

    Resurface Rotors?

    You don't need to open the bleeders.. Unless you are flushing the brake fluid leave the bleeders alone because when you open them you can get air in the system.

    first true dyno of a 2011GT

    Well said bill.. The biggest mistake I think people make is they get caught up in dyno number bragging rights. I feel the proper way to build a car is from the suspension up..

    2002 GT - Best Clutch / cable setup

    Many times I have found the pivot ball the clutch fork rides on is worn and causes a stiff pedal. That happens to these cars as they age. When you do the clutch replace the pivot ball and inspect the socket in the clutch fork for damage.

    New Times with the Blower

    +1.. your a good DA day away from a 12 sec pass. in fact If you go do your corrections you might see that it was a 12 sec pass. What gears do you have now? the auto 98's had 3.08's right? well a good stall converter and 3.73's will really help. When you pick out a stall make...

    I call BS! How about you?

    Could be a lot of reasons.. Maybe he drives better, maybe his car is setup better for drag racing? I don't know your car and I can't see a mods list. I see guys all the time with 300-400 HP running 13's

    99 GT, rough idle after 03 Mach 1 transplant

    try unplugging the maf and running the car WITHOUT the maf plugged in.. You will be surprised how much time I have saved myself over the years doing that in the shop with symptoms like yours. Just try it might not change anything but it's simple and takes 2 seconds I have done...

    Hypertech Power Programmer

    he is just telling you the truth don't jump on him.. Like any other "tune" some work great on some cars and not so great on others, I would not continue to use that canned tune if the car pings on 92 octane. If I was you I would sell the hypertech and go with a sct or sniper tuner where...

    Going to the track next week... results! 13.501 @ 103.75

    Thanks man.. the car has a bit more in it.. But I think I did ok for having 275 Sumitomo's I have to fix the wheel hop problem when I try to launch above 2500... I think that might be caused by the control arms.. they were installed by the previous owner and he might not have tourqed the...
