    Alright guys..I have been part of the 4.6 talk for many of years so hopefully you guys aren't too hard on me for posting this here; but it is where I still consider home ;) I brought my GT to the track tonight hoping to improve on my 12.82 run that I had made last week. There was a bad...

    Grand Prix GXP

    I've been considering purchasing another car and have been checking locally for a vehicle that looks good (everyone has different views on this) and has a nice platform that I could perform basic modifications on. I will be out driving/testing some of these vehicles later on this week and plan...

    Vortech Owners--Info Please

    I have an opportunity to pick up a v1 s-trim for an outrageously low price. The kit is still NEW and still wrapped in plastic, however the owner did go ahead and install the fuel pump so the kit is lacking that. Now here is where the questions come in; the kit was purchased for a 2001 4.6, while...

    Dyno'd the NPI Automatic

    Went to a gathering at a local shop and decided to put the little automatic NPI on the dyno:rlaugh: I put in two runs with the second being the better of the two, though not by much. This dyno was a MUSTANG dynamometer aka "the heartbreaker". When I found out it was a mustang dyno I was...

    Passenger Window =(

    My passenger window was working fine though today decided it didn't want to work all that well anymore:notnice: When I was rolling it down, it only make it about 1/4 of the way down and stopped. I figured it wasn't going to be too big of a deal so I began to remove the door panel. Once I...

    Nitrous Guys--How much?

    For the guys that have actually installed the kits, how much stainless hose did you end up using to connect your bottle to the solenoid? Would I be able to make it with a 14' or 16'? :shrug: I also see they offer some 20' however not seeing any on ebay for a decent price :(

    Is it worth it for me?

    I'm looking to get a few baseline runs in on a dyno, that way I can somewhat document my upcoming mods, as I plan on running again afterwards. I've found a place that isn't too distant from me that charges $75 for 3 pulls (an extra $10 for a/f so I have to include that). The only downside that...

    Can it work? What is the differences?

    Pretty simple question really:D I can pick up a K&N FIPK (gen2) for a really good price though of course--It isn't for my type of car. Does anyone know the differences between the intakes for the GT and the v6 when it comes to these pieces? I don't mind "rigging" this if I need to :rlaugh:

    Quick Help Please =)

    The bolts that hold the IAC into the plenum aren't going back in :( They are crossthreading and not allowing me to put them in fully which in return will lead to a pretty major vacuum leak :D. The plenum itself isn't allowing the bolts to go in easy so I need some ideas as to what to do:)...

    Broke Bolt into Manifold =(

    I was about to clean my engine up a bit since I am an idiot and used a cleaner that just seems to attract dirt/dust and doesn't let it wash straight off :mad: I was tightening a bracket on the back of my upper intake manifold (aww yes, the lovely plastic design that we all have:notnice:) and...

    Car was shot while I was in it! Pictures inside

    :bang: Just happened about 2 hours ago and the cop just left around 15 minutes ago. I got into my car intending to go get food for the family. I was still in sight of my own house when this all went down which makes it even worse. I was beginning to slow down for a stop sign when I hear...

    Programmer Help.

    I have a superchip programmer that I got from someone. When he brought his car to a shop (Houston guys have heard horror stories from this shop probably) he told them to return his car to stock with the programmer before they did their own programming for the nitrous tune he was getting set up...

    Quick & Simple Question

    Is it possible to unlock a programmer if its vin locked? I called the tech line though they are closed until the 2nd. I was wondering if they'd unlock it for a fee or something :shrug: It's worth a try :(

    How To: VCR Cassette to DVD disc?

    A family member asked how this was done being that they want to convert some wedding (and other important times) tapes over to DVD since VCRs aren't all that popular anymore. What would need to be purchased to make this happen? How exactly does it work? Thanks for any information on the topic.
