Re: SOme help please ?

I really appreciate all the help guys and Marty ! I just really got tired of throwing 100 dollar bills at this thing and dropped the car off at chassis shop tuesday. Figured I would be better off spending money one time on the problem instead of guessing. My car is a not a fast car , 7.0 in the 1/8t...

Re: SOme help please ?

excuse my ignorance on this but what are you trying to read with this data logger ? Just engine rpm and drive shaft rpm ? I can see where that would be helpful , but is that what it basically reads and records ?

Re: SOme help please ?

Re: SOme help please ?

the car has coil overs on the front with stange adjustable struts, The rear has strange adjustable shocks with solid links ( hiem joints ), The car is a 87 mustang. I'am changing the rear tires on the car now , to a 28 x 10.5 and putting the 4:88's back in. I believe it may be spinning. I have tried...

Re: SOme help please ?

Well I put the 4:11's back in and wow , the car is now in it worst state. It will hook now , but the 60' is way off , dropped from a 1.50 to a 1.58 . And now i'am .20 slow from what I previously was with the original stator in the converter. The weird thing is the mph is there to run the number , bu...

Re: SOme help please ?

I am really not concerned with the slip number , but a friend that has been helping me with the car is. He thinks that is what is wrong with the car. However I believe it is to much gear for the car. The car ran the number with the 4:11 gear, and would hook fine. Now it is a no go. I really believe ...

Re: SOme help please ?

Had the trans looked at when changed the converter. The rpm before the change I went through the lights at 6400rpm now I go through at 7200. The converter was stalling 5400 before the change now it goes to 5100. I really believe the trans is good. It inly has 16 passes on it since the redo and fresh...

SOme help please ?

I am having horrible luck with my car lately, The car has a BTE 8" converter. I was having some trouble with reaction time on the car. I called up my converter guy and he suggested we cut the converter open and see if something was going wrong. I also told him that by my calculations the conver...

Re: Stiff sidewall??

interesting thread!

What would be the downside of the stiffwall slick ? Does it still hook as good as the regular wall tire ?

Re: Full manual advantage

The trans will be in what ever gear you select from the gear shift. Yes when you come to a stop you would need to pull it back to 1st gear. I love a manual valve body on the street , gives you control of the shifts. Not sure what you mean by what type of clutches you use ? There is no clutch pedal i...

Re: T.E.A?

My engine is 6" rod 383 with a set of dart pro1 200cc heads. No port work done! Engine makes 565hp with a custom ground 252, 265 dur. , 616" lift solid roller.

I would think a cam change would wake your motor up! as stated above.
