My mother gave me a copy of her updated Will and I read it with my wife. My wife was asking me why her name wasn’t in it. This opened up a good conversation between us, and I want to know what you think. I have one brother and the Will is split 50/50 between he and I. If he dies I get 100% and...

Looking for some advice on fixing a spindle on a boat trailer. I got a free Gheenoe, which is a canoe with a small gas motor, and trailer from my cousin. I’m sorting through some issues, as it was sitting outside for a long time. The trailer bearings had water intrusion and is pitted where the...

I’m wondering when a car needs an aftermarket oil pan. New cars get flogged by every performance related magazine and they don’t fail due to oil starvation (that I know of). Take the ‘79 to present Mustangs, have you ever heard of a damaged motor due to an oil pan? Is an aftermarket oil pan...

A coworker is retiring after 32 years and I would like some gift or party ideas. Years ago I went to my father-in-law’s retirement and he was given a “money tree”, which was a fake tree with twenty-dollar bills tied to it. What have you given or received? He’s in his mid 50s and likes working...

I’m sure you all will remember the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida where an officer stayed outside the school during the shooting. The officer is being charged criminally. Several months ago a federal judge ruled that officers had no legal duty during the...

I just unpacked from a five day Carnival cruise and I’m reflecting on it. We left out of Jacksonville, Florida and went to Half Moon Cay and Nassau. It was my fourth or fifth cruise. I’m not a big fan of them and went because my wife pushed me to go. My biggest gripes are that I feel like I’m...

I have a 401K, I contribute to a deferred comp plan, and I have money in a mutual fund. Do I need to start an IRA? Sent from my iPhone using the svtperformance.com mobile app

I have a supercharged 2001 Bullitt that makes 400 to the wheels. The car was having hesitation issues between shifts, and I read that removing a check valve (PPRV delete) on the fuel pump eliminated the issue. After removing the valve, it has hot starting issues. I’m looking at going with a...

I’ve heard stories from my mother in law about her balancing her mother’s checkbook and finding out that her mom was donating money to all kinds of organizations and didn’t have enough to care for herself. Just yesterday, while at my mother’s house, I noticed two envelopes from a city rescue...

I have two jet skis on a trailer that sit outside and are showing signs of sun fading and mildew . I keep them covered with a tight fitting canvas material made for them but moisture goes under it and it doesn’t cover the bottom of the hull. I don’t have garage space and was thinking about a...

I recently purchased a Glock 43X as a concealed carry gun to replace my Glock 27. I carried the 27 for several years in a Don Hume holster in the appendix area like this: This is the holster I used: I liked it so much I got one for the new gun, but I’m still open to other options. I want to...

I am tossing around the idea of getting an open car hauler to tow my 2001 Mustang and to tow random stuff. I don't know anything about trailers or hauling cars. I searched the interwebs for info, but I got so much conflicting information I figure I'd ask the pros on here. My tow vehicle is a...

I’ve been noticing it for years. It seems most places have parking spaces that are too small. I just parked my Charger in a spot where I could barely get out of the driver side and my right side was very close to the line, and I’m a skinny guy. I normally just park in a non populated area and...

My TR 3650 has been making a lot of noise at idle and has been hard to shift on the one to two for some time now. And now that I put the supercharger on it has been on my mind. I would love a 6 speed, but it will cost more than the blue book value of the car. I guess I’m having massive sticker...

I’m on the road every day and see a lot of horrible driving. I know this is nothing new to anyone, but it got me wondering about how we all got to this point. Do traffic tickets deter bad driving? If not, what’s the solution? I know Georgia has a super speeder fine that is about a house...

Can someone explain whole life insurance in layman’s terms? I spoke with my financial planner and, for a second time, he suggested whole life. I currently have term. He said that you can borrow from it, if needed, at an 8% interest. And that’s where he began to lose me. I’m 38 years old and...

I purchased a Vortech TI V2 kit about two years ago. Garage space issues, home renovations and moving kept the parts boxed up while collecting dust. Well, here I am with a garage I can move around in and no more excuses. I thought a lot about what route to go for more power and ended up with a...

I wanted to tell everyone to check the seam sealer in the trunk area around the hinge. You might have a costly repair in your future, if neglected. My car was painted a couple years ago and I was never happy with that area, so I decided to fix it. I also had pin holes in the seam sealer that...

I recently had a loud noise when I turned on my A/C. The sound was similar to a power steering pump that was low on fluid. I thought it was my A/C compressor. The dealer replaced the A/C evaporator and compressor under warranty. The car is a 2016 Mustang GT with the Performance Package and...

I recently built a house and got a 30 year mortgage at 4.2 percent interest. I sold my old home and I am sitting on the positive equity. I was speaking with a financial guy about putting the money on my principal or putting money down and refinancing for 15 years. He suggested that I invest...

If you buy new assembled heads, would you pay to have them looked over by a shop? Why or why not? Sent from my iPhone using the svtperformance.com mobile app

My wife and I are coming up on our ten year wedding anniversary and can't decide on what to do. We went to a cabin in the Smoky Mountains last year. We live in northeast Florida. I don't really have a budget in mind, as I guess it would all depend on what it was. So let's hear some ideas...

Does anyone know where to get a deal on Injector Dynamics 1000s? It seems that every site I check has them for retail.

I want to share my experience. I have a 2001 Bullitt with 119,000 miles. About two months ago I was looking at something under my car and It dawned on me that I have never inspected my ball joints. I touched the boot on one and it just fell apart. It was obvious that the boot failed long...

Does anyone know the hp limit of non ported stock heads? I am in a friendly hp competition with a friend who has a '03 Cobra with a ported blower. I am waiting for him to run it on a dyno to see where it's at. Reading similar combos to his tells me he has around 500 to the wheels. My goal is to...
