Clutch pack in my Trac Loc isn't holding up to burn outs at the strip. I have one tire stopping and starting during the burnout. This is causing the car to skew hard to one side and I have to let off. So I can't heat the tires up as much as I need to. Now then, are the Ford carbon fiber...

I keep a trickle charger on my battery as I don't drive the car often. As a person who has had 3 good today, gone tomorrow batteries, how do you tell when you need to replace it? The other 3 vehicles were daily drivers, unlike this one. I don't want to find out 100 miles from home the battery...

Getting ready to install some FRPP springs plus BMR adjustable panhard bar and have a coupe of questions. First, since they only lower the car an inch, do I really need LCA relocation brackets? And second, how long do you drive the car to let the springs settle before you take it in for an...

I was at the track last Friday. Track prep isn't that great for T&T nights. A guy with a 10 second Mustang said the suspension parts I had were OK, but I need to lower the car for better launches. Do lowering springs really help on takeoff?

Can you lower the PSI on these tires too much? The reason I ask is, I put these on the car to get some traction at the track. I put them on, and did a quick test on the highway and then headed to the track. Set at 30 PSI, the car hooked great. Hit 2nd with a slight spin for about 25 feet. I...

I see a lot of cars that run in the 10s, but very few with roll cages. Do tracks let you compete that way?

Went to the strip. It's now painfully obvious that my M/T Street Radial II 305/35R18 tires aren't gonna cut it. I even had them aired all the way down to 12 psi. I only got one good run at [email protected] MPH. The rest of the time, the car would hit second gear and start spinning. Then the...

Looking at adding a Circle D converter to my car. Most of my driving is mainly on the street with a few trips to the strip once in a while. My 60 foot times are in the 2.0 second range. They were 2.1 before the supercharger, so not much gain when taking off. Would the 3C be a good choice?

How exactly does this kit work?

Looking to get a 12 volt tire inflator to air my tires back up to go home after a trip to the track. I don't want the ones that plug into the cigarette lighter as they are too slow. What would be a good one? I'm looking at the Viair 88P. Is this a good choice? Or are there better ones out...

Thinking of putting a detector in the car. I'm not keen on the sticky velcro on the dash. To use suction cups, seems like the detector would hang pretty low. Anyone have any experience with this mount? http://www.escortradar.com/escort-blendmounts/ Kinda leaning toward the 8500 X50 as I'm...

Stock GT rims with the factory 235/50R18 tires with less than 2000 miles on them. Plus 2 with Mickey Thompson 265/40R18 Street Radial IIs with less than 500 miles on them. All 4 have stock TPMS sensors. Located in Maysville KY for local pickup only. 500 bucks.

I can spin my M/T 305/35-18 tires on the street. Do you think these tires will hook with a small burnout at the track? And what would be the best tire pressure to start with? I've read you don't go too ow with tire pressure at the track. Thanks for any replies.

Is the Ford "Specialty" orange antifreeze Dex-Cool?

Getting ready to put my Lethal O/R h-pipes on and wondered if it would be a good idea to spray the old manifold gaskets with the copper spray to help prevent leaks. Anybody use this stuff when they changed out their pipes?
