    2nd through 4th pull speedo run

    With this cold air we're experiencing (32 degrees or so) I thought it would be cool to post a few speedo runs. This one is 2nd through 4th: This one is just a quick hit in 3rd @ 4k. Just roasts the tires! Also, for those that have the Nations Alternator, check out the batt light at the...

    How to keep AC compressor on in CD weather for killer chiller?

    Recommended idler pulley kit to replace factory idlers

    Can ya'll recommend a good brand idler kit that comes w/ all idlers necessary AND are same size as factory (so I don't need to change my belt size)?

    Consistently ripping belts

    Ever since I upgraded to TVS 2.3, I've been having issues with my belt only lasting a thousand miles or so before it begins to frey. I am not sure if it's from the increased torque on the belt or what? I do not think it's misaligned. Any ideas? Do I need a Kevlar belt or what? Sent from my...

    Best way to clean engine bay

    Is it safe to use an engine cleaner from auto zone and then spray engine bay with water on these cars? Of course I wouldn't attempt this unless the engine was totally cold. I am concerned to damage electronics though. What do you guys use?

    Just got back from the dyno and now make 492 HP/514 TQ with 2.8 upper only

    Just got back from the dyno and I am really surprised what I found out. Prior to me going to the dyno today, my car was a virgin, that is it has never been tuned nor had any pulley work done. Motor wise, it only had a K&N intake, and new plugs. I bought the car last May and I am the 2nd owner...

    Continuous Variable Valve Timing, if our motor had it would it be a big difference?

    Just curious to know if our motor had CVVT, would it make a large performance increase? What I am getting at, is how is it the new 5.0 has 412hp naturally aspirated? .4 liter doesn't seem to be that much more displacement to have more power than a 8psi boosted 4.6 liter. 2ndly, does cvvt...

    New rear tires

    Hello, I have a 2004 cobra vert and it still has the original goodyear tires on the back which now need changing. What I am looking for is a good tire that will launch from a dead stop very well (with minimal wheel hop) and can handle cornering well. Obviously the tire also needs to handle wet...
