    Engine question (having someone build me one...making sure he isnt feeding me B.S)

    Looks great! I think that the intimidation of a supercharger in the engine compartment can't be beat! I have the funds for a S/C and have already bought the boost and fuel gauges (my twisted logic-- i figure that if I bought the gauges, then I HAD to get the S/C) I just don't want to go...

    Engine question (having someone build me one...making sure he isnt feeding me B.S)

    Will a block from DSS or Coast High be stronger? I highly doubt I will go with the local guy after hearing from all of you

    Engine question (having someone build me one...making sure he isnt feeding me B.S)

    I do agree... i guess I had better continue my research...we aren't talking pennies here...but thousands... While I'm on the engine subject: do you guys think I am crazy to strap a Kenne Bell to the car? It's not like it will be hurting for torque...and the KB provides it pretty...

    A good engine question for those who have driven BIG HP

    That's a good point. I will do what I can to make it hook in the future. I just have no engine in it right now and figure that I might as well put in the engine I want, then work on the other stuff. I may be going out of order a bit... The foot will be light for the time being. I'm not a...

    A good engine question for those who have driven BIG HP

    Switching to EFI- computer question

    So the A9P works for both and A9L only manual? Also, do you know if fordfuelinjection has a harness for the AOD then? I guess I could ask them, but I thought maybe somebody knows off the top of their head... thanks again!

    Switching to EFI- computer question

    Hey guys- I am in the process of putting together an efi 5.0 out of a 90s model. I have an A9L computer for it and it came out of a manual... I will be running an AOD. Is there any problem with using the A9L (manual) on an AOD? Are they even transmission specific computers? I'm guessing...

    Manual or auto better for drag racing?

    I'll break it down... cause I like to do that. Here's what I gather: 1. On slower cars, the weight and efficiency advantage of a manual win (assuming a good driver). I don't know where the cut off is between fast and slow. 2. Build up the auto, and the gap is closed if not gone...

    The green truck in the background has been with us since mid '96 and still runs great!!! Absolutley no major probs and 210,000 miles later, it's still a champ. The Superduty is a beast compared though!! It has some lag, but once the turbo kicks in...wow
