AnyBody make it to Osceola Wheels & Wings?

I had the Focus over there yesterday. I'm following my cousin and my friend in their El Camino's into the show car parking area. The lady that’s parking us says to me "That ain't a show car. You can't park here." I said "neither are half the other cars here. What’s your point." S...

so whats up with this guy? His car probably got towed to an impound lot after the wreck. Usually when a car is totalled the insurance company gets everything on it. You can't get in the impound lot to take parts off of it. His first post was probably right after the accident and he didn't know he c...

The bearing caps are tightened in two stages starting with the middle sets and working out. Stage one is 10Nm. Stage two is 19Nm. I don't know what the torque spec is for the cam gears. I would guess 70ft.lbs. Leave the cam alignment tool in place when tighting the gears but do not rely on it to do ...

What do you use to tune with? SCT or some thing?


I had just installed my FR2 cams. I have adjustable cam gears. I was trying to set those for a good mix of hp and tq.

Nice numbers.

What did you think of Elite. When I was there, the tac pickup on the dyno kept cutting out so I never got a good reading on my torque. Kind of sucked because I was trying to tune for a nice mix of hp and tq.

Was this a tuning session or just one pull?

Diablo Chip LFQ1

I am selling my Diablo chip. This chip removes the speed limiter and raises the rev limiter to 7000rpm. This chip is $219 new at McNews. You can have mine for $100.

I agree with dead on the SCT from FocusSport. Randy is doing some impressive work tuning those chips for NA applications.

I have Volant intake, FC race header, Trubenz 2.25 exhaust, Bosal flex pipe, AF/X udp and FR2 cams. I was hoping for low 140's but I guess I got close. I'm thinking I'll maybe port my TB next. Does it actually add HP or just make the throttle more responsive? I'm done spending money on this car. I'l...

I own two 2001 ZX3 5 speeds with the premium and power option packages. One I bought new the 2nd one used. I like the 2001 because I believe Ford had the mis-timed cam thing figured out by mid 2001. Both mine in stock trim were very strong engines. You should be able to pick up a used 2001 with unde...

I went to Elite auto sports on Tuesday to dyno tune my cams. Not quite what I expected for results or from Elite. First they had to push 8 cars out of the shop for me to get to the dyno. When I was on the dyno, the tach kept cutting out so I couldn’t get a graph of my hp and torque curve together. I...

The closests 1/4 mi track is in Rock Falls, WI. near Eau Clair. There is one down in Iowa south of DesMoine but thats ...
