Taking the time to evaluate your oiling system and make improvements where necessary not only protects your engine by preventing problems but it can also be a source of even more performance gains. The cooling system of a vehicle is critical in removing the additional heat created as you increase engine output to improve vehicle […]

As you pack more air and fuel into the cylinders, you significantly increase the cylinder pressure and the charge motion within the cylinder prior to ignition. This can make it less likely for the spark to occur with enough energy for combustion, or to occur at all. Even for a mild-performance car, minor upgrading of […]

Properly matched camshafts, valvetrains, and cylinder heads with great flow characteristics don’t perform at their maximum potential unless you’re able to efficiently get sufficient air and the fuel to them in the correct amounts. Not coincidentally, the air intake and fuel systems are responsible for these duties.   This Tech Tip is From the Full […]

Any internal combustion engine requires the properly timed and correct amounts of three basic things to function: air, fuel, and spark/ignition. Relative to air, the combination of the camshaft, valvetrain, and cylinder heads have the greatest influence over its potential for flow through the engine. Of course, the intake and exhaust systems play a role […]

When most people think about performance the first thing that usually comes to mind is more power. Improving the performance, control, and driveability of first-generation Mustangs is much more than increasing horsepower and torque.   This Tech Tip is From the Full Book, FORD MUSTANG 1964 1/2 – 1973: HOW TO BUILD & MODIFY.
