    Subframe connectors?

    unless you have a convertible, they're not needed. I have a vert so they greatly benefited my car

    Anyone running racing fuel in their blower 3V?

    still isnt enough water to rust the iron armature of standard injectors ( non stainless armatures) as e51+ does. also by your admission, the gas doesnt abosrb it, it is a bi product of combustion. totally different concept with totally different, minimal results. to compare those stats to say a...

    Anyone running racing fuel in their blower 3V?

    Ethanol is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs moisture from the air. The statement that e85 moisture is negligible because it is mixed with gasoline is grossly misleading. Temperature and humidity are the main driving factors in how much moisture is absorbed. No matter how minimal that absorbtion is...

    Suspension ideas?

    it was an 07. Kenne bell 2.8 on with 100 shot. I’ve seen posts thru the years of people bending these braces also with the same scenarios and higher hp so it proves to me our case wasn’t an anomaly. Dallas was just a cheap bastard that wouldn’t spend all the money he needed to get the car to put...

    Suspension ideas?

    stock diff cover. there were no contact marks. we just assumed that it was frame twist because that car had wayyy too much power and didnt have all the parts necessary to accomodate what we were doing with it. videoing the launches from both sides, there was a huge variance in body lift from...

    Suspension ideas?

    When addressing drag racing on these chassis’, the chassis will distort naturally and gets worse with increased power. These cars apply power unevenly in the rear when launching on prepped tracks with sticky tires. They are prone to the same torsional twist as older more inferior mustang...

    Timing components for build

    That said, I have seen the horror stories of mmr thru the years and am not a fan of them but the truly badass setups all have one thing in common, all this shit is billet and not plastic or aluminum regardless of what company you choose. Besides mmr got a bad name from engine building, customer...

    Timing components for build

    I’ve broken pivot pins, I’ve broken a oem chain guide seperately, and I e had oem plastic tensioners blowout. I have all mmr guides and tensioners and cobra bob pivot pins and billet gears and timing reluctor and have had no issues. With the money I spent on this engine, it was money well spent...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Put on some Kelltrac (Kelly Aiken) valved Viking crusaders. Looking forward to getting out to do some testing. As far as I know, the only 6r80 (not 4r200) cars in the 7’s all wear these setups. Correct me if I’m wrong

    Yeah all that stuff in the back is pretty flimsy.

    Suspension ideas?

    Truth be know, bare minimum of a good lower arm and a good single adjustable shock would all but eliminate wheel hop on close to stock powered cars. Isn’t going to be optimum by no means but having a shock that can better control the load will do wonders. Stock shocks just have nowhere near...

    Suspension ideas?

    We bent a 2 stock panhard braces launching at 5500 only making 650 tq at the wheels on the same car. I see op isn’t making that kind of power but those flimsy stamped steel panhard braces do take a lot of abuse in hard straight line launching but that car wasn’t setup with an arb so it didn’t...

    Suspension ideas?

    I did not know 2 piece shafts suffered as importantly as one piece shafts. Good info. Instant center from the factory on all s197’s is too far forward. That’s the whole point of upper and lower arm brackets to allow you some leverage to move it back to where it works better for weight transfer...

    Selecting a Final Drive Ratio

    My experience is the whine gets louder over time as the bearings seat

    Suspension ideas?

    If you’re trying to launch above 4500, I would suggest welding the axle tubes and doing the lower control arm mounts as well to get the cars instant center moved back some from factory

    Suspension ideas?

    If you’re n/a, the formula is really simple and basic. Upper arm and bracket (since you’re lowered), lower arms, panhard brace and bar and an adjustable shock. Doesn’t really need to be a double. A good single adjustable will work fine for low tq cars. You need to set your pinion angle if on a...

    anyone running kelltrac/viking shocks and/or struts ?

    I should also mention, these are valved for a 6r80 car which I am converted to. He also does a valving for th400 cars

    anyone running kelltrac/viking shocks and/or struts ?

    After speaking to kelly, comparing them suggested starting adjustment range from a Viking DA to his spec’d/valved Viking DA is totally different. Got them on but don’t know when I’ll be able to make any hits to start dialing them in

    Cooling Fan High Speed Relay BEC melted

    everything is right except the circled blue should be ignition switched voltage and this should be your small gauge wire side and obviously that load side(large gauge wire) marked fuel pump, should be to one side of your fan resistor. Hi or lo. 2 relays should be wired in, one for lo one for hi...

    Cooling Fan High Speed Relay BEC melted

    in your diagram, you have an ecm controlled ground feeding into a chassis ground.

    Cooling Fan High Speed Relay BEC melted

    the trigger from ecu is a ground. what does ground need to complete a circuit ? power aka 12volts. you should have one battery source fused, other side to your fan resistor. the switched side of the relay needs ignition on power, and the ecm wire to the other side since that provides ground and...
