    boostin a 5.0 need some help

    94-98 mustang have return style fuel systems. 99-up are non return style. The return style is by far the best way and easyest way to make power and avoid fueling problems. 94-95 stangs are slightly different on the tank design but I think they use the same pumps. Even if they dont the pumps are...

    boostin a 5.0 need some help

    You can run 8psi on hypertectic pistons on a 302 easy and it will hold up just fine. The pistons in my 4.6 are made the same way and the rods are even weaker than 302 rods and I easily push 8psi with no problems at all. As long as you get a good tune you will have no problems running 8psi. I...

    PowerStroked 98' Explorer 2wd

    Any V-6 diesel is prone to crank problems...for some reason the V6 design puts a ton of stress on a crank with diesels.

    PowerStroked 98' Explorer 2wd

    +1 much easyer swap.....not to mention its a straight 6 so it will actually fit with some fab work. Any ford diesel will weigh more you really want and make for a terrible handling vehicle. I wont knock the ford though my 7.3 has over 400,000 miles on it. Also the dodge trannys on the cummins...

    Turbocharging 4.0 ???

    Is there a hand held tuner that I can use on the computer that I can adjust timing? The FMU would be ok but I would also go with some colder plugs and want to back down the timing a few notches. I dont plan on intercooling only 5-6 psi.

    Turbocharging 4.0 ???

    What is the difference in the mazda tranny....the motor is the same. Also I have a ford explorer tranny I could use but I just dont see an extra 70hp hurting anything unless I was flooring it everytime I hit the gas. It wont be for racing....just for a boost in power. This seems it will be easy...

    4" lift ? about drive shafts

    If I was to use a 4" lift would I need to lengthen my drive shafts or would they be ok? I do not intend the lift for massive articulation it is just a cosmetic upgrade on a explorer that sees only flat lands in Texas.
