    I think you'd better get used to the idea of having a non-A/C car.

    88 Gt Wheels And Tire Questions

    Rubbing on the "frame", or lower control arm? I had this issue with my 17x9's as well, and simply massage at the edge of the lower control arm with a BFG. No more rub. And your four lug disc brake rear end is likely out of a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.

    Roush Axle-back Mufflers??

    A budy of mine has a set on his '14. Very....angry sounding. Makes the car sound mean, but I'm sure I'd get tired of that noise in a hurry. I've never seen someone running a Corsa exhaust that did t absolutely love it.....but $1,000 is pretty tough to swallow for what is essentially a pair of...

    Car With Vortech Won't Run If Plugging Valve Cover To Throttle Body

    You want crankcase vacuum. It helps with ring seal.

    Blown Guys- Which Radiator You Running?

    So, did a little data logging today. If I didn't have the dual fans on there, but fox would heat up till the coolant was boiling in the overflow (I would assume). I have the fans set to come on at about 190F, and it cools the engine back down to about 180-185F in about 45-seconds. Cruising...

    Supercharger, hands down

    Foxbody Fuel Rail Feed/return Questions

    The '94-'95 spindles don't come out any further than the stock Fox ones do. The '96-'04 spindles will push the wheels out approx 8-10mm over the Fox.

    Saggy Rear End

    Check to make sure one, or both of your rear springs isn't broken.

    Blower Guys, Come On In.....

    Good to know. I'm going to try the check valve in line with the PCV and the line from the oil filler neck, to the blower inlet first and see how it holds up. I like the look of the one way valve cover baffle, but I'm worried it's going to interfere with the strut tower brace?

    Switching To E303 Cam

    Sure can, though depending how many miles are on the engine, you may not want to. New lifters aren't that expensive. The popular answer is that the cam lobes and lifter rollers tend to wear a pattern into one and other over time and this is the reason you shouldn't use them, but this is more...

    You should, but as mike said, your bump steer is going to change.

    Foxbody Fuel Rail Feed/return Questions

    '96-'04 spindles will also cause you front wheels to stick out slightly further than stock. Not a big deal if you're running a 7-8" wide rim up front....but a 9" or larger is going to look a little funny. I've got 9" wide wheels on the front of mine with the stock spindles and I wish like hell...

    Blower Guys, Come On In.....

    So what are you guys doing to keep your PCV valve/oil dipstick, etc from blowing out of the manifold? I switched to a T-Bird Turbo Coupel PCV under recommendation that it would keep the system happy and took it for a run today...only to find my PCV valve blown right out of the grommet and oil...

    Yes, that's what I meant. The stock GT hood comes down a little lower in the front than the GT.

    Those are the ones sitting in my stock rails, as we speak.

    Foxbody Fuel Rail Feed/return Questions

    My insight is to leave the stock rails in place. You're over complicating things. I had similar concerns and brought the same question up to one of our Vortech Aficionado's @84Ttop and he set my mind at east, claiming the stock rails were sufficient to well over 500rwhp. Get yourself a good...

    Fox Water/meth Injection

    The benefits of water/meth are two fold. Not only do you cool your intake temps, but the methanol will actually increase fuel octane and richen your fuel mixture, allowing you add more ignition timing to your curve. I've seen guys pick up as much as 80hp with Water/meth set ups. You should be...

    Engine Displacement

    I bought my CHP rotating assembly for $880US about 4-years ago (balance included). Depending how you get it balanced, you may need to buy a new dampener and flywheel (if you go with the 28oz or zero balance option vs the standard 50oz.) I think the same kit is about $250 more now?

    Fox Issues

    Is it raw fuel though, or just a really stinking exhaust smell. Contrary to popular belief, a car that runs excessively lean actually give off a stronger exhaust sent and higher emmisions than one that's running rich. And your O2's and surging running condition are backing that theory. Let me...

    Fit, yes....though you'll need the front end as well, or you'll end up with a large gap in the front.
