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...

Have any had issues removing the passenger side headlight for the track (1/4)? on one of my threads, one person posted their a/f ratio ran .5 leaner with the headlight removed. Anybody else have this problem?

What would be recommended for the track (1/4)?

alright, I raced my friends T/A once again. Round 1 went to him when I was bone stock vs his T/A. We went from 40-120 I lost by 1/2 car. His mods were lid, k&n, longtubes, custom cam, o/r y pipe, corsa catback, pulley, injectors and a tune. His car at the time had a really dirty air filter...

Im gonna be goin to the track here on April 26th (Grudge Night at Sacramento Raceway) and want to know if it's even worth running with no air filter for a few runs. I know some people do it, and others don't, Im just trying to eek every last little ounce on the run, I only get to go to the track...

Well, this one only lasted ~6,000 miles. The stock one went ~50,000 miles. This one was from a reputable shop that specializes in alternator rebuilds, they've done a couple other's of mine before with great success. Good thing it has a 1 year warranty, I had bought it last year (august). Any...

Not that much of a race. Driving home on the highway (monterey rd.), a C5 Z06 pulled next to me and goosed it some and then downshifted. So I downshifted to second too and waited for his move. I gave him the jump (tho Im not sure if he floored it right away, I might have actually gone WOT just...

I had just picked up my girlfriend, driving through her neighborhoods to hit the main streets when I saw a white notchback 5.0. Not sure if he saw me but he was looking hard at an white LS1 with altezzas that was close to him. It had an older guy in it so I didnt bother but the white notchback...

ok, i got a dyno tune about a year ago. if i wanted to change the fan settings and anything else like that with the SCT, will that replace my dynotune? also, when i dynotuned last year, my fuel pumps were running at full duty cylce. when I datalogged it last year after the tune, I checked the...

Im about to run these in a few days, 315/35/17 on some AFS 17x10.5. Anyone run them? they look good, anybody want me to take some measurements or anything? I'll post up on how they do.

Not much to the thread really. Just stating that I changed my plugs from Autolite 103's to the TR6's. The car feels MUCH better, I always thought some of you guys were full of it when you say you feel a difference from one plug to another. My tuner originally had the 103's gapped at...
