I need to get a new set of tires. I am currently running the 555's in the front and the 555R II's in the rear, 275/40/17 all the way around. Between the 555r II and the NT-01 which would be a better performer for the track and street on the rear only? I plan on running NT05's in the front...
Last summer I installed a cxracing FMIC to reduce my AIT's and it is working great. However, since the FMIC sits in front of the radiator my coolant temps have become a little warmer. I would like to bring the coolant temps back down. I was wondering if anyone has tried Mishimoto Liquid Chill...
I was wondering how much timing everyone is currently running.
Also, how much timing does everyone recommend to run on stock internals using 91 octane.
Thanks.
I would like to know what I can expect to see. What boost increase have you guys seen? They claim 1 1/2 - 3 psi increase which is about what I am looking for.
My current setup is a Vortech V2 with a 3.33 pulley and a A/A intercooler with 3 inch piping. With the 3.6 pulley and no intercooler I...
Currently I am running a vortech V2 on 8lbs with no intercooler using the stock 3.6 pulley. This week I am adding a 24X12X3 front mount intercooler. How much boost should I expect to loose? I have a 3.33 pulley laying around if the boost drop is significant.
I am not planning on making much...
When converting from draw through to blow through is it safe to drive on the blow through set up using the draw through tune to the tuner as long as you dont get into boost? Also how much does the conversion effect the previous tune?
Currently I am running the Nitto 555R 275/40/17 on a 17X9 wheel and I love the traction and straight line performance. However, I do like to drive hard through the canyons and sometimes I feel that the 555R is a little too quishy. I am wondering if the 555R II would give me similar straight line...
I am planning on adding a FMIC and upping the boost to 10lbs. What is the max RWHP that a 90mm lightning mass air and 38lb injectors can support? I hope I do not have to upgrade those until I build the bottom end. Thanks.
My brother has a 2001 Mustang GT with a vortech V3 with aftercooler system on it and Bullitt brakes. Recently when he is getting off the freeway and he slows down quickly the car will shut off on him. His rpm will drop way down and then the car will stall. Any idea of what is causing this? Could...
Right now I am stuck on which direction I want to go. I have looked at the Vortech aftercooler system as well as the air to air front mount system from paxton. I have been running my car for over 2 years with no problems without a cooling system running 8lbs. When it gets hot outside I do not...
I was out driving around and I kept hearing a noise coming from the rear of the car. When I checked to see what the noise was I realized that my passanger rear brake caliper was starting to grind on my rear rotor. It looks like it just started to wear on the rotor so I am wondering if it is...
Went out for a cruise this morning with a bunch of buddies so I was not using my Drag radials. After driving around for 3 hours I was almost home when I saw a C6 Vette that got off at the same exit I did. I quickly moved through some cars and got next to him and sure enough we got a red light...
I had a day off from work today so I decided to wash the car. What do you guys think?
Where does the ground stop and the car start?
and of course some pics of the goods :coolman:
Lately my car has been acting kinda funny. It feels like the car surges or bucks below 2k rpms when I am just crusing. At first I thought my clutch was going out since I am still using the stock clutch with over 57K miles on it. I then grabbed my air/fuel ratio's from my dyno tune and saw that...
Even though my car is not a cobra, this section generally has a lot of helpful people watching. Thanks in advance guys.
Right now I have three problems with my car. The first problems concerns me a lot. I have about 56,000 miles on my car and I know that a clutch replacement is about due...
Overall I'm impressed. My car is a stock Bullitt with a Vortech S-trim running 8lbs of boost. When they ran the car, it was 103 degrees. It put down 373.3HP at 6k and 348TQ at 5k. What do you guys think?
Don't worry, I will post the graph once I find a scanner.
I was leaving my girlfriends house this morning and I got on the freeway to go home. As I go to merge onto another freeway that I needed, I hear a high pitched engine sound (almost like a sport bike) that kept getting louder and louder. As I turn around, a lotus elise flys past me and I notice...
I have been having problems with my car dying off after 4500rpms, especially in 3rd and 4th since I installed my Vortech. It feels that the car is getting flooded with fuel. So I decided to install the wideband 02 sensor to see if the car was running too rich. As I expected it was running way...
