Ok, this is the third alternator to go out on my cobra. I installed a volt gauge with this newest alt, I figured it was going to die, I just wanted to know when. I knew it was gonna go out, it would charge at ~14.7-14.8v (too high, before that it was doing fine at ~14.2-14.4v) on the freeway...

Ok, i just raced a friends R1 on the freeway. I gave him the jump and took off right after and we ran dead even up from ~70mph to ~120mph. I was surprised and he did say he went complete WOT. His bike is all stock except for a rear sprocket and aftermarket chain. So whudduya guys think? Did i...

Which makes more power. I know straight up with an upper only, the Stage 5 is SUPPOSED to make more power, but does the Stage 5 still make more power than the 4 when both are running a lower pulley along with an upper? Or does it lose it's edge and make basically the same power?

I just wanted to post up some of the stuff I've done:

How much is normal? I thought the DOHC was kinda known to eat some oil between changes? I'm at 4500-5000 mi (ya, i really need to change it) and it hasn't burned ANY oil. If it did, it's defenitely less than 1/2 a quart.

This is for my Galaxie. What makes more power, a larger muffler (say 18 in.) or smaller (14 in.)? Either one will fit, both same diameter inlet/outlet.

I just installed my BAP (and wiring upgrade). My car use to max the duty cycle of the pumps @ 5500 rpm and show actual voltate to the pumps @ 12.50-12.75v. Now with the BAP set at 20%, the car is mostly ~92% duty cycle with a spike of 97% @ 5600 rpm. But otherwise, it hovers at about 92%. But...

well, i hope this thread doesnt turn into trying to talk me out of ordering it because i already did. The question has to do with the alternator. LFP said it wasnt necessary to run a larger alt pulley, but i wasn't so sure. So I ordered a 3.2 to go along with it. Would you guys run the 3.2...

The difference is basically $50. Bang for the buck, which is the better setup? This will be going on a 2.93/4# lower or 2.76/2# lower. Haven't completely decided on the pulley set up.

seein if any are interested in trading straight up for a red 2.76 BF non slip pulley ring.

I forgot to post this a few days back. On my way to the track on the 26th an LS2 (6spd) kept trying to mess with me. Its from some club called "Untamed" or something of that sort. Anyways, his friend in a truck almost hit me before getting on the freeway. Then on the freeway the GTO was trying...

What would be a bigger advantage/disadvantage in a race in a convert. Top down or top up? Im guessing top up would be better but I don't KNOW that as fact. I dont know if a cloth top disturbs airflow more than helps. This is just a discussion, Im not planning on racing or anything and trying to...

ok, i finally got to race my friend at the track. Got a vid too. The first race we had went to him a couple years ago (I was stock). Next race I had CAI and catback and that round went to me. Third round i had mods in sig, he got a couple more things and I won that one too. Here's round...

Ok, I've had some serious creaking on the IRS ever since I installed the complete delrin bushings kit. The creaking seems to get worse the warmer the car gets. In the morning, when it's cold, it takes a little longer for it to start creaking. it creaks on EVERY little irregularity on the road...

:cuss: I have a crazy amount of squeeking from the IRS, its driving me crazy! Its been like this for about a year now! at first when i did the springs i ran no iso's. What sucks is I did the complete delrin bushings on the IRS at the same time so i dont know what is REALLY the coulprit...
