That's funny. I had an '88 GT T-Top car with no emblems (12.30 @114 speed density and no juice) Some punks pulled up next to me at a light with some Eclipse or something and asked me if it was an 8 cyllinder. It had Texas Turbo full lengths on it, no cats, and couldn't idle for *****. I just looked at him and said... "No" and drove away. Idiots.

 

Gene Deputy made some of the best headers for the Mustang crowd. Spent many hours and many dollars at Texas Turbo. I only lived about 20 minutes from his shop.

Wish their shop was still there and still had my black Mustang at times.

 

I think you should stop ranting and go clean the kitchen floor, or make some cookies.




BTW, I didn't have a chance to make it to Silverstate, nor did Stan. He was busted and I was busy. Maybe we'll meet next year!

 

That would be great !!!!! You need to come to Goldfield so we can give you the nickle tour (our good friend owns some of the restored buildings here)...... and you can see some of our many projects (could we interest you in a nice............. hehe).

 

LightningGal Your O.K. ...........

 

It is alot more of a problem with foced air cars. I see alot of motors going south in the younger or less experieced crowd over there.Detonation is alot worse in a forced air car.

 

This thread is soooo TRUE.

It's nothing like a woman with a wrench who knows what she's talking about.

 

What about the younger MORE experienced crowd?

 

I agree with what she is saying... I just don't see how people with heavily modded - and blown - engines think that they will get warranty work done. If I had blown something up in warranty with just my 2lb. pulley, and chip I wouldn't have taken it back to the dealer. We need more honest people in this world that are willing to accept responsibility for THEIR ACTIONS.

 

That may be true, but how many other high performance vehicles that you know ALWAYS have the same problem. Almost every Lightning has weak rods...plug problems...ect, I am afraid to mod mine because the piece of ***** might break! They could have been made these trucks a little stronger and we would have paid the extra money for it and been happy. Ford would have alot less repairs on their hands.


Some of us don't have the luxury of going to the Parts counter and saying "Yes, I'd like a new Ford Lightning motor please...I'll be paying cash" If you can get away with Ford paying for it, why not? Spend an hour removing mods...save 5K??? Seems logical to me. I'll let all the "honest" posters flame me now.

 

I don't know guys the last thing I want is my woman in the garage with me working on my truck.

Don't get me wrong I love it when she tells a rice burner to know his roll and shut his mouth about his NAWZ cause its called nitrous, but I like them clean and away from my private space. The garage is the one place a man should be able to go and get away from it all. turn the tunes on and just play with your toys and pull them apart and put them back together just casue you can .

No disrespect the the ladies that do work on cars, just not my type of woman.

 

Could we get back to the part about cookies
mmmmmmmm chocolate chip

 

monster cookies!!!!!

My aunt makes those, all kinds of cookie doe mixed in chunks. its good for some reason.

 

LOL...really i'm talking about anybody who is inexperienced in forced air cars. They just don't know when to get out of it, and theynever understand the importance of octane.

 

don't you love it when people tell you how they put some 100 octane in there car and it went so much faster then the 87 octane recommened for it, HAHAHAHAHA. I add more octane to be safe, thats it.
