    Nitrous + what gears?

    well, I have 4.56's in my mach...N/A I get real close the rev limiter in 4th and have trapped at 112mph many times... I'm putting a 100 shot on over the winter and have a set of 275-60-15 drag radials for the track...so the taller tire should make up for the extra MPH i'm gonna get with the...

    How Bad Do Gears Kill gas mileage?

    of course it is...4th gear is your 1:1 ratio where the 5th gear will be your lowest(OD)...depending on trans would be somewhere around .62-.68...so no matter what your rear gear ratio, the tires would be spinning faster than the motor. TO be honest If gas prices weren't so damned expensive...

    Coilovers are they worth it ?

    I guess you're right...but I just assume...front coil-overs...tubed K/a-arm You can also get an AJE tubular K-member and A-arm set-up with spring perches so you can use stock springs and struts :nice:

    Coilovers are they worth it ?

    I think it all depends on what you're going for... If you're roadracing alot, its the perfect set-up because you can swap out springs with ease, the problem is setting up your corner weights everytime you change the springs out...and of course alginging it properly. If you're drag racing a...

    Went to the track tonight!! Time Slip

    yup drop those 60fts to a 2.0 and you'll see high 13s....find a way to get down to a 1.7 and you should find yourself in the company of the mid 13second crowd!! Nice runs though! That MPH is cookin' and shows you seem to be shifting it where it needs to be shifted.

    QUICK. If I can get Ford racing 4.10s for $180 shipped should I??????

    well not Ford Racing, but I know Motive gears are usually cheaper (like around $125) but some people have complained they're a bit whiney... having said that...if you've got the scratch...buy 'em

    What Transmission t45 or 3650

    aside from going through clutches(think I had a bad run from FORD) I've had zero issues with my TR-3650 I think for the most part, if you switch to a solid clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster you'd notice a significant difference in shifting...while this wont necessarily cure some people's...

    How Bad Do Gears Kill gas mileage?

    yeah its not because I'm in 5th 80% of the time driving around town, where-as before I would've been in 4th or even 3rd....(just remember OD=wheels turning faster than motor therefore increased fuel economy):p fact of the matter is...if you're turning 3000rpm consistently for 10 minutes and...

    engine dying under braking

    There are two on GT's right? one should be a breather line for the PCV system which wouldn't really cause your car to stall...the other I can't remember However if there is a line that goes from your intake itself to the head, that one is a vacuum(PCV) and would cause your car to stall...

    Pinion seal leak

    have you done any suspension mods? or are you running a taller tire? If so, check your pinion angle(of course this is if the pinion flange isn't busted) it may be off. Actually I would check it regardless...also, if you keep taking it back to the same shop, and they can't fix it...try...

    Crazy Question about Roll Cages

    just remember to check with the sanctioning body for the class in which you wish to run...a lot of times you have to have a specific OD steel, and it has to be welded in a certain way(chrome moly should be TIG welded) and to certain components (main hoops, etc.)

    How Bad Do Gears Kill gas mileage?

    with 4.56's I get 16-18 city and 23-25 hiway...with the stock 3.55's my city MPG was about the same(with the occasional 20mph) but my hiway was around 27-28mpg...so I only lost a little.. 4.56, I wouldn't have it any other way !

    Lowering your car by cutting the stock springs

    oh on stock springs huh? I'd do 3/4 of a coil for all the naysayers...even with my 90/10s and cut front drag springs, my ride is in no way bouncy
