    Finally tearing into my 2018 a little bit with some BMR suspension

    My project isn't anything earth shattering... just a 2018 MT82 car gunning for 10.90's N/A. I previously added a Palm Beach Dyno E85 tune and PMAS car, but I am now tearing into the suspension a little bit and just wanted to share. Installing some BMR Suspension parts... picked up a set of...

    who do you 5.0L F150 guys trust for a tune?

    So I just picked up a 5.0L 2013 F150 FX4 Super Crew. Do you guys prefer a trusted Coyote Mustang tuner such as VMP, etc. for your F150 tune since they know the Coyote engine inside and out... or do you view the "truck specialty" guys like Omega, 5 Star, etc. as a more trusted tuner considering...

    Would you port Gen 1 heads or pick up Gen 2 heads?

    I'm doing a Coyote swap, so the motor is out of the car. I'm using a 2014 F-150 motor, and will be pulling the intake as soon as I get the motor on a stand to verify if I have Gen1 or Gen2 heads. I'm building a high-effort N/A 6R80 setup. I'm planning for worse case scenario of having Gen1...

    Best place to purchase a Circle D converter for 4R70W?

    I always buy as much as I can from Latemodel, and when they don't have it I go to Lethal. But neither of those places offer a Circle D converter for our 4R70W's. Where are you guys buying yours? Or perhaps best to buy direct form Circle D?

    is there some car event going on in Gatlinburg TN right now?

    So my wife and I have been in Gatlinburg since yesterday. As we're out and about today, I've noticed a handful vintage hot rods running around, and then I notice that one hotel parking lot is nearly covered with various Mustangs... then I see a couple nasty crammed and blown F-body Camaros...

    So there's about 10-12 1.5"-long studs in my trunk, sticking up from the floor. half are on the driver side near the fenderwell, and the other half are on the passenger side near the fenderwell. What in the world are these supposed to hold down? Just seems to me that they are way too long. I...

    Has anyone successfully swapped connecting rods from underneath with motor in truck?

    Not for me, I'm asking for my grandfather-in-law who has a 6,500-mile 2002 Lightning. He's purchased some h-beam rods and considering the ultra-low miles, he doesn't want to do a complete motor teardown. He's wondering if anyone has successfully done this by removing the oil pan and doing...

    ran my auto 2V at the 1/8-mile track Friday...

    I ran 9.24-9.27 all night @ 77.5 mph. Only mods are Pypes X-pipe, SVE e-mail tune, and the snorkel is removed from the stock airbox (still even has paper air filter). I've only recently gotten into the 4.6 2V community, so I'm curious where this stacks up? I was thinking that I should have...

    Need help, both front calipers sticking

    I just bought a 2004 GT with 131,000 miles. I immediately noticed that the front end had a noticeable vibration when braking at highway speeds. Has a nice firm pedal. I assumed it was simply cooked brake rotors. I bought new rotors and pads, and pulled the wheels off this afternoon. Upon...

    Comp XE262 cams with stock valvesprings?

    So I'm about to acquire an 04 GT 4R70. I just so happen to have a set of Comp XE262 cams laying around from a previous build. Has anybody ever ran these cams with stock valvesprings? And will these relatively small cams be suitable for a 4R70 with gears, full exhaust, and bolt ons? I'm...

    anybody ever run a 4V 5.4 swap in a 5r55 car?

    So I'm just now starting to brainstorm for my next project... once I sell the Lightning, I'm going to have a forged 5.4 shortblock remaining in my possession. I've been dying to get back in an S197 Mustang. Since I've been in the Lightning world, I've fallen in love with big power on the...

    building new motor... can I use a 3V block?

    I am in the process of finding a block for my new rebuild. A local guy says he has a 5.4 that came out of an Econoline van. I haven't laid eyes on it yet, but from the info he gave me I suspect it to be a 3V motor. If I recall, I can use this block in a Lightning right? Will my front cover...
