Tried my car at the track last weekend. I ran a best, 13.4 @ 105 mph. Experienced severe wheel hop in the water box. As well, as very little traction for all...
I have a simalar set up with a 84, 351, et streets, lakewoods,373s runs 12.0 in the street car(will go faster but no cage). I have a problem with the 4.11s but...
It's been quite awhile since I was on this list so apologies if I've forgotten names. I saw a few that I still remember though. :) Buddy of mine used to run...
Since we have quite a few new members here, don't worry about forgetting names Sean. The list has been super slow so I would like to welcome all the new...

Thanks for the welcome back John! I've done the bushing replacement thing. Makes a noticable improvement but just be prepared for the job. Getting the old...
Sean, Poly or hard bushings upper and lower will help a lot to combat the wind-up that causes hop. Unfortunately, the stock lowers use a oval bushing so the ...
You'd almost be better off moving straight to a panhard rod and ditching the uppers by time you factor cost of arms, battle boxes, etc. Dennis.....there's a...
Good call on the elevation. You must know your stuff. Yes. I run my car in Calgary, Canada. Big time high elevation. _____ From: carbedMustang@yahoogroups.com...
I recently put a T5 in my old Stang, fixed lots of little things, cleaned out the mouse nests etc, and began driving it to work. Boy oh boy is it fun to drive...
... I don't know that I would go that far. Sean M. has gotten rid of all of his domestic products and now drives an import. That means he can't be that smart. ...
LOL.......I was thinkin' it had to be. Even w/ REALLY bad traction you'd eventually hook and pull higher mph closer to sea level *********** Good call on the...
LMAO! anytime ya wanna line up daily driver's John.........I'm game. ;) Sean '03 350Z/'02 BMW 330i ... I don't know that I would go that far. Sean M. has ...
The only race my daily driver runs is the one to the gas station. And as far as I am concerned if I am the last one there, I am the winner. She is knock'n down...

I've been happily beating on my old, rough looking '86 notch this year. There's some things I'd like to do on it but I really don't want to lose any driving...
I picked up a set of Hotchkis lowers the other day. While installing them I realized the quad shocks in my car weren't only wore out, they weren't even there!...
You'll likely get enough improvement from the new lowers to not need the quads. I never had them on any of mine. Took them off the ex's '95 to squeeze...
Ya, it's a pretty tight fit. I have about 1/2'" clearance to my street ET's. _____ From: carbedMustang@yahoogroups.com [mailto:carbedMustang@yahoogroups.com] ...
... things I'd like to do on it but I really don't want to lose any driving time in it before snow flies. Decent autox suspension, T5 and a torquey 351W have...
... I do have a few ... SOunds like you need to up your shooter size. IIRC a 650 comes stock with either a 28 or 31. Go to a 31 or 35 and it should solve your...
... Thanks John, I'll try that. I swapped carbs a few years ago for some reason and never really tuned this one all that well. I should have kept notes on all...
Rather than shooter size, try a different accelerator pump cam. You want more gas when the throttles are almost closed. The shooter will increase dosage at...
Okay, my 84 GT was having issues with blowing oil all over the place. I busted an oil pump driveshaft back in November and drove it for 60 miles with no oil...
... Thanks guys, I recall my other carb had none of the drivability issues at all when I drove it a couple years ago. I didn't get to drive it long since I had...
... *grins* There are a couple of 4-eyes that run around here. Some are not in the best of shape, but folks still like 'em because there are not many on the...
