    Drive Train Experts, T-3550 vs T-5

    If you have ANY metal to metal contact between vibrating parts (engine, transmission, rear end, exhauset, etc) and non-vibrating parts (basically the rest of the car) then you will have horrible vibrations that will make the car feel like it is going to come apart. The first thing to do when...

    question about 86 f150 5.0 and cam options

    I swapped in a 1993 Mustang cam into a 1993 F-150 and couldn't be happier. But I also put on some heavily ported heads and headers at the same time. With the stock heads, I would not waste time and money changing the cam in that truck. More lift and more duration will do nothing if your...

    Help Stiffen Me Up!

    Personally I think you've got too much spring and too little sway bar, front and rear. But that's just personal taste. IMHO you do need an adjustable rear bar without it you won't be able to tune the suspension for neutral handling. I would also make sure that whatever you do with the...

    Valve Spring Retainer Clip Removal @!^?:*

    If you have a smaller c-clamp; use the clamp to clamp the head to your work bench via one of the lower head bolt holes. Then when you use your spring compressor, it will push the valve down until it contacts the table, and when you push a little harder, it'll pop free. They are a pain it the...

    How far can a stock A9L take you?

    It can take you very far, the question is what driveability issues will you live with? Bucking, hard starting, etc? Something to think through. Good luck...

    Belt Squeal with Underdrive Pulleys

    When I installed mine, I put the alternator pulley wrong either it wa on backwards on there was a spacer I did not install correctly, can't remember. This offset the pulley by about an eighth of an inch. It squealed like a stick pig. I wasted months replacing belts and tensioners. Take...

    SCT 4 Bank Chip Programmer

    Go look at a Quartrehorse by moates dot net. Go spend some time on eectuning dot org and you'll see what all can be done with it. Ex. It holds 8 tunes which can be switched on the fly.

    have a question creating a MAF transfer with my Pro-M flow sheet

    You are in the wrong place for tuning questions, try eectuning.org. What tuner are you using, and what software? I am only familar with Quartrehorse and Binary Editor and that software allows for a 30 point curve iirc. Good luck....

    Thermostat Questions

    One thing to remember with the stock thermostat is that most stock ECUs pull 2 degrees of timing at 190 degrees. OP, thus I think you made the right call with the 180 thermostat, at least as far as power is concerned. Good luck....

    How good is the TCP X brace?

    Jamison, there is a very interesting thread over on corner carvers where the poster took a very scientific approach and measured before and after torsional stiffness after installing various chassis components. Interestingly the results run counter to most advice you hear about how to stiffen...

    8 inch Rearend

    Those rebuilt eBay limited slips are crap, don't buy one. They are originally open differentials that were converted to be limited slip. Do some google searching on the topic and you'll see. Save a few more pennies and get a Tru Track.

    Reprogram the 5.0 computer

    I can burn a custom chip for you that will update your computers tune for your maf, your injectors, the headers you may have, any changes in timing you want to make, and any emissions related gear you may have removed. It will not be as good as a dyno tune, but it will be much, much less...

    Door rattle is getting to me

    Before you pull off the panel, is the crome or clear plastic gromet still in place on the hole that the pull knob comes up through? If it is gone or broken, I'd bet my life savings that replacing it will fix your problem. Good luck....

    Which is exactly why I always recommend an adjustable rear bar, so that you can tune your new and improved suspension for neutral handling. Good luck...

    Suspension Ideas

    cjperry81 - Don't take this the wrong way, but if you haven't had a problem with understeer, you haven't pushed your car in a meanful way; if you autocrossed it today, you would experience understeer. Take your car out in a big parking lot and start to turn in a circle - big or little, it...

    Suspension Ideas

    Balance should mean that the car will neither understeer or oversteer. However without addressing the roll stiffness of the rear, the combo above will understeer horribly. All cars will benefit from an adjustable rear roll bar. Yes, there are other ways to limit roll at the rear, but a...

    88 5.0 with moates quarterhorse and wide band 02

    You need to install a bung in your crossover pipe. Whether you have a X or an H. Are you running the WB through the EGR circuitry for the quarterhorse? You might ask the guys over on eectuning about how to set everything up. Good luck

    Speed density/E-303?

    While there are cams that will work with speed density, why bother, the stock cam is pretty stout. TMoss on this forum makes something like 280hp to the rear wheels with SD. I think he's got a stock cam advanced four degrees. PM him, I'm sure hell steer you to a solid setup.
