    Replacing the Clutch

    Oh, no! Not another clutch thread. Actually, I think I've done all the research and I just need verification that I have everything that I need. My old Spec Stage2 clutch with the low pedal effort only lasted for 10K miles with me only having a pullied car. And I'm a mile high so HP is down...

    Driving the Cobra in the Snow

    Due to factors this year, my Subaru SVX beater had to be put out to pasture a few months ago. I really had no choice but to drive the Cobra in the snow this winter. So after a few Denver snow storms and I can now give an opinion about driving the Cobra in the snow. And the verdict is ...

    2010 GT500 Dual Knock Sensors - Retrofited?

    The new 2010 GT500 is supposed to have dual knock sensors. Can these be added to our 4.6? Where are they located? I thought our computer had the information for knock sensors that it was just turned off in the factory tune.

    Qwest for more RPMS or Cubic Inches

    Quest for more RPMS or Cubic Inches So it's been one of my goals to put a Ford GT block under my hood. But the amount work to get it to fit, and to clear the stock hood, not to mention all the custom work that has to be done, just makes it seem like it's going to be huge monetary investment to...

    Daily Driver Tire

    Well, got about 20K miles out of my GS-D3's and now they are down to their wear marks. So now it's time for new tires. I live in Castle Rock, Colorado, but I do not drive it in the snow. But I will drive it during winter when there is no sand out and it will be above freezing during the day...

    Now for something completely different

    So I've been thinking over building something completely different than what has been done before. I've been mulling over the idea of a compound setup, but after reading everything I can find on twin turbo going into a supercharger, I don't think it's the way to go. Just too much boost for too...

    Second Daily Driver - 2010 Ford SHO

    I was looking forward to picking up the new 2010 Ford SHO for a second daily driver or when I don't feel like driving the Cobra (Does that ever happen?) and driving in the snow. Well, that evaporated after reading this review: First Drive: 2010 Ford Taurus SHO offers excellence without...

    Ford GT block built in MM&FF

    In the last two issues of MM&FF, they built a Ford GT block using GT500 heads. They also hooked up the GT500 and KB superchargers. They built it to handle a 1000HP and they were calling it their GT1000 engine. I'm very partial to the Ford GT block and have been told it will take a LOT of...

    Black out the Reflectors?

    My HID retrofit has been completed. But my retrofiter has given me the option of painting the reflectors black. I like that aspects of it being black, but I also think the chrome looks okay. Here is a link with a different brand of light and the first set of pictures has it blacked out, and...

    Best Heat Exchanger

    I'm trying to figure out the best performing heat exchanger. Fluidyne has released a new 3 row HE. Gord's web site doesn't list the characteristics of the Lightning Performance versus their own. I like that Gord's has the fan option and the others don't. I searched but no one is comparing...

    Find FR500 Cat Back Exhaust

    I've been looking all day and can not find the FR500 exhaust (M-5230-M58) anywhere. It's been discontinued for a few months now and I found out about it early in the spring. Well, I think I'd rather have that instead of the quiet borla cat back. Does anyone know where I still might find one...

    SVT AWD Focus

    Okay, I have a 03 Cobra as my daily driver and a Subaru SVX for my winter car. But with 230K miles on my SVX, it might not be long for this world. So I was thinking what should I replace it with, and of course, AWD is a must. What are the best AWD cars, Rally cars of course. What are some of...

    Results of a F5 Tornado

    On May 23rd, a F5 tornado ripped through my fathers farm in Dunkerton, Iowa and essentially leveled it. I think the only reason my father and his wife is still alive is that the tornado was moving so fast. It didn't have time to churn like one did in Texas a few years ago. Old aerial view of...

    Ford GT Block

    It looks like the Ford GT Block is for sale again. From what I understand this should fit in our cars without any problems after setting up the block for a wet sump and drill out a dip stick hole. Are there any other major issues installing the Ford GT block into our cars?

    2009 GTR: 0-60 3.3 seconds

    Test of the Nissan GTR Looks like a phenomenal car. The thing is going to be a track killer. From what I understand, the engine is fully built and forged. It's running low boost as well. Probably will scale as well as the Terminator for modifying. So much for the Z06. :burn: Sure...
