    Aluminum Block?

    I"m running the Ford Parts one and so far seems fine and I've pushed it pretty hard.

    Why do people delete their spoilers? Aren't they functional?

    I can tell you how the car handles differently between the stock GT wing and the Cobra R wing at 150mph. Stock wing, 20-35mph cross winds, I'm dancing across the road like a grasshopper on hot coals. I swear the car was moving over in random directions 2 feet at a time as it went airborn, or...

    Trickflow TW heads & cams for relatively stock Stang?

    I agree with the idea that there are better ways to get 400+ hp than heads. With the Vortech, you can get 8lbs with no intercooler or blow-off valve and get 350-375 at the rear wheels. Throw in an intercooler and blow-off valve and you are up to 400+. Past that you need a better bottom end...

    ?? -> "Nitto NT555 street" & "Sumitomo HTR-ZIII" @ same $

    I haven't tested the Nitto's but the Sumitomo's didn't impress me much. I won't run them again. I use all Toyos now on almost every car and I'm 100% happier. They were the best handling, quietest, and best riding car and I tested about 10 different tires on the Mustang.

    Is it feasible to mount a tow hitch and a motorcycle carrier like this on a GT vert?

    As long as the mount mounts to the frame, you should be fine. If you are talking about a dirt bike though, I might invest in a cheap trailer instead. Either way, tow with the back wheel up in the air and lock the handlebars to reduce wear on the chain.

    Coil springs replacement

    I would think hard about what you plan on doing to the car in the future before I make a decision. If you are going to do springs, think through putting some better shocks on at the same time. I'm a fan of Steeda products for a better street ride if you don't want to go berserk. I would...

    best battery for 1996 mustang gt

    I thought the Optima's came with lifetime warranties?

    Vibration at 90+ MPH

    I would suggest the aluminum driveshaft and a driveshaft loop even if that doesn't solve your problem. I'm guessing at the speed you are running around 5000-6000 rpm's. I never noticed the problem and I had the driveshaft running at over 5000 rpm's at speeds from 130-160. However, I for...

    500rwhp how-to write-up w/ sq-trim

    Good for you. I think the returnless is the best idea with the ability of the engine to rev. We also came up with idea to upgrade the fuel rails and then attach them together at the front and the back to keep the pressure consistent.

    anyone running 275/35 18s up front?

    I was going to say 265's also. It takes some suspension work to go higher.

    Ford Windstar Tranny won't stay in Overdrive

    No, it's one of the SCT's for my Mustang. However, the kids took the van so I won't be able to do it until later tonight. I did try the foot to the floor thing and sure enough, it went into 4th gear.

    Ford Windstar Tranny won't stay in Overdrive

    Mine is very simlliar but will eventually go to 3rd after a few miles even if I don't exceed 75. Mine is around 70 after about 3-4 miles and then drops to 60 or so. I have a reader so I'll check it out in a few minutes.

    Ford Windstar Tranny won't stay in Overdrive

    I haven't had time to address it but it's getting slightly worse. On longer drives now, the o/d light comes on and starts blinking. I'm going to take it to ford and have them do a diagnostic but I also fear that a new tranny is in order. We gave the van to the 16-year old and he just drives...

    anyone run penzoil platinum

    I run Mobil 1 with Mobil 1 Oil Filters and I change oil on most of my cars around 10K.

    can i put MY BRAND NEW 6.8 liter v 10 in my 2002 GT

    Actually I run it in practice sessions on road courses and drag strips. However, I'm building it for Silver State Classic and One Lap of America so 600hp is just the next step.

    can i put MY BRAND NEW 6.8 liter v 10 in my 2002 GT

    There is no substitution for cubic horsepower. I get that. However, I also get that an aluminum V-8 is probably 100lbs lighter or more. I want my car to be as solid as a 4000lb car and weigh 2800 lbs.

    Yea, it's better :).

    can i put MY BRAND NEW 6.8 liter v 10 in my 2002 GT

    There is absolutely no reason for it. My 2V hit 643RWHP at 6000rpms and it's cammed for 6500 with an old S-Trim and livernois heads. If that's not enough horsepower, I'm guessing it will come close to 700 when tuned. The problem with the mustang is it's already nose heavy. I got an aluminum...
