    Launching an auto?

    Well I was under the impression that I was gonna run out of gear, to meet my goal of low 12's. I didn't see it as a problem before until it was mentioned OD is a bad thing to use for drag racin in this thread. 25th says I could do it just I'd have to rev my motor pretty high beings I'm usin...

    Launching an auto?

    :( Jeez the more I read the more it looks like I'm gonna have to buy a Lentech tranny. Either that or do 1/8th mile runs and keep the Aod. Yes Ryan I agree Aod's can be boring but for a Daily driver always going through heavy traffic along with occasionally seeing the drag strip the auto is my...

    Launching an auto?

    Yea I'm tryin to do this without the use of slicks. I know gears and tire height all play a roll. As far as that setup goes I was thinkin runnin a 3.73 gear already got my rims and tires which are 17x9 03 cobras with 245x45x17 tires. I'm not sure how high my motors gonna rev to meet its peak...

    Launching an auto?

    Maybe I was misunderstood. What I meant is the top of my 3rd gear gonna be enough to get low to mid twelves in the quarter. I was under the impression that 3rd tops out around 110 in the AOD and my only choice to would be to run in OD to carry on down the track so I don't run out of gear. I...

    Launching an auto?

    Thanks for clearing that up ninety15.0. Now that you mention the OD bands being weak and 3rd topping out around 110. I'm shooting for low to mid twelves and I'm sure I'll be trapping a little quicker than 110 so I'm gonna need the extra gear. What would be the best solution for where I'm...

    Launching an auto?

    Not tryin to jack a thread but I'm wonderin a few things of my own about the Aod. Is it ok to go WOT in OD from a roll or does that hurt the OD band just as well as doing it from a launch? Also approximately what mph will being in D top out at?

    Louvers

    Thanks for the replies. I'm more than likely gonna grab a set before turkey rod run down here in daytona. I think they'd work well accenting my black 03 cobras and gives me another reason to keep the cheese grater taillights. I'll try to snap some pics of my car with the wheels and suspension...

    Louvers

    Can someone send me in the right direction for rear window louvers for my 88 gt. I've searched numerous places and have had no luck finding them. Thanks

    tell me this isent a deal

    Poor AOD :( I'm guessin from reading the ad he took that AOD to somewhere it doesn't belong. Time trial to me sounds like a road course and thats the last place I'd ever wanna see an AOD. If you buy the first one you may be purchasing a tranny in the near future.

    wrx or foxbody 5.0???

    Can't ever go wrong with a 5.0. Where I live 6k gets you a mustang thats very well taken care of usually and the majority of those already have the basic mods and nice visual appearance. Read and price some of the mods these guys have in their sigs and look at the times they pull. It doesn't...

    Still missing :(

    I only run 93 octane in it. I noticed it with a little labor knock under low rpms so I just went ahead and started puttin 93 in it and it went away. I guess I'll pull codes after I look at the coil.

    Still missing :(

    I searched around a little and the tfi looks like a simple replacement if I was lookin at the right stuff. Just for a little schoolin what does (tfi) mean and what exactly is the dizzy? I see it all the time in the threads just never knew what exactly it is. Also I noticed Pip being mentioned a...

    Still missing :(

    I went to drive to work this mornin after feelin the slight miss I had over the weekend and problem has gotten a little worse. So I went on ahead changed the cap and rotor plugs and plug wires and I still have a pretty bad miss. Car is a stock 88 gt. I'm still learnin about these so some...

    Kinda dumb question.

    I appreciate the info guys guess I'll start by changin the plugs and distributor. Haven't had the chance to do it since I bought the car hopefully its just somethin simple as that causin the problem.

    Kinda dumb question.

    I was rompin around playin with some of my new suspension today. I figured I'd do a simple launch and it seems I got an ever so slight miss at WOT when I get around 4500 rpms. Stock tach so who knows where I really was it only did it twice and I didn't wanna push it anymore than that. I was just...

    Spend my money!

    I didn't see anything other than u/l control arms listed why not finish off the suspension since you plan on doing a 5 lug conversion? If you got it apart do it all at once no point in doing things twice. Big brake kit never hurt anything either.

    Car payments and full coverage insurance= the suck. Keep the fox and mod the piss out of it.
