    Lowering with bags or spindles

    Lowering with bags or spindles I did the torsion bar/rear block lowering already, it sits about 2" lower (slightly more in back) and handles like a dream. I actually was able to outcorner a couple of H.D. motorcycles on Raton pass in Colorado. BUT..... I want to go lower, at least in the...

    Nitrous from the `Stang?

    I`m not intending to set the world afire! 50-70hp is all I need to make a few take notice. I think that 6-10 second "hits" is long enough and safer. Thanks Alec for your input.:bounce:

    Nitrous from the `Stang?

    Thats no problem, as I have a "Smart Spark" computer that will do that for me as well as turning on the nitrous at a set predetermined rpm. It too was on the `Stang before I put the programable DFI on. It allows me to pull out or add timing every 500 rpm. I will also add a stand-alone stoich...

    time for bags?

    I am wanting to do the same, but tow my camper. I have also seen bagged "work" trucks and some were laying frame! I have a friend with a bagged S10 and the handling and ride is crap. He also is plagued by leaks especially at night, in the morning he has to build up pressure(5mins.)just to leave...

    question for the ZEX users

    Is your transmission a 5 speed? If not, do they make a programer for the 5 speed auto? Can you really tell it shifts firmer and was it worth the money? Thanks.

    Nitrous from the `Stang?

    I have an Edelbrock dry nitrous kit(75hp) that was on my Mustang before supercharging it and I want to install it on the Exploder!! My question is this, would it work with the factory non-return fuel system. Everything looks like it would work, only minor modification I think it needs it an...

    Not quite in the weeds

    I lowered my truck yesterday. Did the torsion bar thing(3") to the front and used 2" blocks in the back. It sits a lot lower but it's still not in the weeds stance I wanted, but it does ride a butt load better now. This is the first vechicle that I have had that rides better after lowering than...

    going for the gusto...

    I just got a new 2002 Sport and want to lower it about 2/3" but don`t want ride harshness nor the lowrider bounce. will flipping the adjuster on the torsion bar put me on the bump stops? I also plan to modify my factory shocks by cutting down the lower mounting rod and welding it back up with a...

    Dual exhaust for LEVs¿

    It might hurt the low end a little, but I seem to have enough and would rather have a mid to red line powercurve.

    Dual exhaust for LEVs¿

    I am not worried about the emissions police here in La. as my `Stang has no cats and is supercharged and as of yet I have had no problem with inspections. I know that removing them won`t give me breakneck power, but every little reduction in back pressure will help.

    Dual exhaust for LEVs¿

    I know that the 2001-2002 models are LEV(low emission vehicles), will putting custom exhaust on flag the computer? I checked and there are no O2 sensors past the primary cats. I want to shed 2 of my 4 convertors and make duals. I want a nice low rumble, not the 'hornet in a jar" sound that most...

    2 more free custom mods complete!

    I have the wipers removed on my Mustang and stored in the trunk(the car has NEVER seen rain), I bought some chair leg end caps, the plastic ones that protect your floor and simply painted them black, they fit snuggly enough and blend in with the car.
