    what throttle body size?

    You can do an aggressive HCI and still not have the 65 mm TB as the power bottle neck.With a 302,unless you have a power adder,stick with the 65mm.

    What's the most HP anyone has gottten with OTB AFR 165's on a stock 5.0 block?

    Good article.Note also the 23hp increase from the 1.7 RR's and according to the article they increase not only lift but duration as well.The benefits of 1.7's and affect on idle etc.seems to come up on this forum every few weeks.

    NE1 change from 4.10 gears to 3.55s

    I have had 3.08's on a previous stang.i went from 2.73 to 3.55's and definately noticed a difference and have no regrets.the difference between 3.55's and 3.73's can't be that great one way or the other...about 150 rpm on the highway.With the overdrive 5th you almost can't have too much gear as...

    Underdrive pulleys.

    So far,I have kept the stock 75 amp alternator and swapped the underdrive alt. pulley for an overdrive pulley.Summit will do that for you.I have no charging issues or cooling issues even on the real hot days.Mine is a steel March set.I could afford but couldn't justify any more money for an...

    Vert Squeaks and Rattles

    I think I will get new struts/shocks but I am not so sure that new springs are necessary especially not shorter ones as I understand they can only make the ride worse (harsher) not better even if they are progressive rate.Which shocks would be a ride improvement over the stock ford struts/shocks...

    Vert Squeaks and Rattles

    They are coming mostly from the top frame over sharp bumps or a series of bumps.The spring isolators have recently been changed to new polyurethanes.The rear upper and lower control arms are stock. Thanks for the input guys.

    Vert Squeaks and Rattles

    So Bilsteins provide a better ride than the adjustable Tokicos?I am after a smoother stable ride with handling secondary as I live in a smaller city with lower speed limits.Maybe I should just buy new stock Ford struts. I am thinking a stiffer suspension should result in more squeaks and...

    bass in a vert?

    You can always remove the sub box at the track if you are concerned about the extra 10 lbs.or so.Enjoying the tunes with solid bass means more to me than a little extra weight but to each his own.

    bass in a vert?

    Yes and no.I got a good head unit to optomize tweeking the sound I wanted not power.I like a lot of volume to drown out the wind noise.I just bypassed the headunit's power and use separate 2 channel amps for the front and rear running 5.25" Alpine type R's and obviously a good sub amp which run...

    bass in a vert?

    2-10" Kickers in a single modest sized enclosure and a powerful Kicker amp works well in my Vert.

    fuel pump, MAF, and injectors to feed h/c/i

    Yes,for tuning purposes to maximize Hp and not run too lean or rich.

    1.7 or 1.6 rockers?

    Putting on 1.7's now and getting a little performance bump and changing out your stock cam later is no big deal.You just can get by with a new cam that has a little less lift compared to if you kept your 1.6's in.I got a cam with .510 lift instead of .544 (with 1.6's).

    Vert Squeaks and Rattles

    I have stiffened up my vert chassis a fair bit with the parts noted in my sig. below.Our streets are bad here with all kinds of pavement breaks due to the hot and cold weather extremes.I was thinking I could stiffen it further by adding the Kenny Brown jacking rails and matrix brace to my...

    what do you run under your pony?

    Magnaflows which are on the relatively quiet side.Just don't believe that they are stainless steel.The pipes looked like crap after 18 months.
