You are pretty much right in your description. Solid lifter, you adjust the nut on the rocker arm, hydraulic lifters pump up with oil and take up the lash automatically. The pros and cons: Hydraulic is what street engines use because they are maintenance free. You adjust them once when you...

Alex, are you widening the rear bodywork to fit those tires?

I have an MS2, but the tuning software, TunerStudio, is the same. You will have a lot more features than I do with the ms3, but basic tuning should be the same. I started from ground zero with my MS2 and was able to learn everything to get it running great. I know the limitations with my MS2 and...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=105&v=mU_MZbgGpF4 I'm amazed at how soft the suspension seems.

Bill, I don't want to be offensive or a to be a jerk, but your tuner is wrong. The after fires still happen with no leaks on the exhaust system, even if you cut the fuel completely like what I do. I do not have a very high opinion of tuners and i have yet to meet one thats not a flake. I'm not...

Some things should be noted: With larger cams that run choppy at lower RPM's, you can actually get some raw fuel hitting the O2 sensor at those lower RPM's. You would think it would read rich in this situation, but it actually reads lean. This is then compounded if the computer is in 'closed...

Guys, I have had this issue for a long time but I think i finally found the source of of my vibration. The problem has been that around 80mph, i get some sort of vibration from the drive line of the car. In the process of trouble shooting, i have checked the runout and balance of everything and...

looks like the link didn't work!

Direct link to the in-car. Some pretty nice drifting at the 2:00 mark before the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrR85GPG6Y0

I was at the Autobahn Country Club over the weekend and put up a 1:43:01 in my 1989 3rd gen F-body. This was on NT05 street tires and I think a pretty respectable time for what the car is.

Its amazing how much the mustang front ends and the 3rd gen f-bodies are so similar. I am at 1800lbs in the front and could use a bit more as well. I have been trying to get a stiffer sway bar, but no one makes anything stiffer than the OE bar for these cars. I have been looking at 3 piece bars...

Finally was able to get my new calipers on and test it out. Brakes feel great so far, but that was on the street in the countryside. Taking it to the track next week to really give it a work out.

Got any footage of your driving? gopro?

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the bolt on flares either, but I do like flares when they are molded in.

This has to be the best looking mustang I have ever seen. Looks like a hoot.

Its clear that these cars were never designed to be on a road course, but wow, it seems the Mustang, especially the SN95 ones, were much worse off than my 3rd gen F-Body. They are very similar in many ways except when it came to the rear suspension. From the factory, the 3rd gen's came with a...

When I was talking about the rear end being touchy, I meant to say it was about wheel hop. The car is otherwise stable when breaking. But this rear suspension is natorous for inducing wheel up. It's a torque arm setup, and from what I understand, this is just a part of that design.

had the calipers off today and noticed I was low on pad. I ordered new ones which are supposed to be a little more aggressive. I think this is going to work out. I do have a lsd, it's an auburn racers unit. It's an interesting diff. It seems to work all right in this application.

Rick, the fronts do have bridge bolts, 2 each, but they were not installed in that pic. I don't think putting the 3.0's I have right now in the rear will ever work out. These cars are so touchy about rear lock up and bearly need any rear brake. The bias I have right now is perfect, and I will...
