    Diff ratio help

    I have 3.0 gears on my 426 barracuda (8.8 ford diff, 500hp) and runs nice off the line and in the highway at 130-140kph speeds with the stock 4 speed manual. I do not race it in quarter mile dough, its a daily driver. Its below 3000 rpm at 140kph so that is good for me. I have 275/40?/17 rear...

    Question on passenger stop light circuit

    Hi, I was checking my car on the weekend and noticed the passenger light does not work when the brake pedal is pressed. The turn lights work on both sides When I activate the hazzard lights only the driver side works. I read some threads about this kind of issues and removed the kick panel...

    Wrapped headers....or Unwrapped

    I took a few thermal pics today from my engine and underbody with the engine running. So you can see what the hot areas are. I think that when Inpaint it i'll add some insulation in the firewall lower portion, and then of top of the exhaust at least whats under the cabin Interesting for to...

    Wrapped headers....or Unwrapped

    I did wrap some factory headers a few years ago in a ford ranger. It helped with the engine temps, but the cast exhaust manifold cracked after a while. I have read that wrap also voids header warranties. Mine never came apart or aything like that but it was a good brand, I believe it was DEI I...

    Suggestions Wanted For 408 Stroker Mufflers

    On my 426 stroker I have long tube headers, 3 inch pipes all the way, with two resonators before the mufflers, 2 borla x mufflers and 2 resonators after the mufflers. It is still a little a bit loud with the stock insulation. On the outside it sounds awesome but inside I would like it a little...

    Heads for mild 360 build

    I have 2.02s on my 426 SB setup. My recommendation is to give a call to the hughes engines guys and tell them what you want to accomplish and what budget you have for this engine. they should be able to help and guide you. These guys are mopar engine experts and have all you need in one source.

    How do I get paint mist overspray off my windshield?

    use a clay bar, its very fast an easy, and you will be able to see what you are getting out. may need to do a few passes if the overspray is bad.

    Am I an idiot for wanting to boost a high compression 318?

    I have experience with boosted applications, what you intend to do is not that crazy, since the boost level target is pretty low (4psi). As insurance or if you experience any pinging (you shouldn't, but if you do first try to take back the ignition timing 1 degree per psi of boost) you can take...

    Another Epso Thread…

    I have considered changing the stock "sport" leaf srpings on my barracuda, they are pretty stiff on rogh roads. Just rebent them to their original arch when I got the car and have been there since. I considered the hotchkis 2-leaf spring, but do not like the idea of lowering it. I want stock...

    I have been only once in the racetrack with the barracuda, but I use it daily during rain season on open roads to test its performance :)

    Opinions on 4 speed with OD

    I have a manual 4 speed with 1:1 final gear and 2.7 ratio at the differential. Very good for cruising speeds. the 426 stroker has enough torque to push you back at any gear and wheel spin is minimized.

    TORQUE BOXES ?

    hahahaha, thats funny. If you don't stash your weed there Handling wise, do they actually make the car handle and drive better dor daily applications or stiffens it too much to be a daily driver?. Currently with the suspension mods, subframe connectors, etc the car handles great in the turns...

    TORQUE BOXES ?

    what about the other reinforcements sold out there?, there are inner fender braces, and core support stiffness brace. Anyone has those on their vehicles?, do they make a difference?, is it worth for a daily driver? I have the subrfame connectors already but will install the torque boxes for...
