    The "CAI" is NOT a "performance" modification.

    I got a CAI because i needed a new air filter anyways, and it looks better than the stock box. As far as difference...what difference? Maybe as much as changing spark plugs when the old ones were very slightly dirty.

    Sorry if this isn't considered tech but i wasn't sure... I'm going to be installing my timing chain cover/vibration damper/water pump etc over the next few days so i went to auto zone and loaned their torque wrench. It is an "OEM Click-Type" wrench.

    Reinstalling Vibration Damper....

    Hello, When I removed my vibration damper to get my timing cover off i marked the damper and pulley because my Haynes manual said they're balanced as one piece. So i have those marked so that i can line them up properly together when i reinstal them. However, i was wondering, does it not...

    Timing Cover instalation+ Random questions.

    Where are the dowel pins and what are they exactly? I didn't see any clips or anything when i took it off. Maybe if i get an idea of what they are i can check when i get home. I dont remember anything sounding like it fell into the oil pan and i stuffed a rag in it shortly after the cover was...

    Vibration Damper Removal: Crank keeps moving.

    Right on! Got that sucker out of there! However now i'm a little confused as to getting it off. I borrowed a puller from autozone (the kind recommended by mr. haynes manual) which applies pressure to the hub rather than the outer parts of the balancer as to not damage it. Ok so it came...

    Vibration Damper Removal: Crank keeps moving.

    Ok i made sure the car is in gear and i got a long piece of pipe (3+foot) and tried to break the bolt loose like that and what happens is, as i push the pipe up to turn the oblt counterclockwise, the balancer slowly turns with it and there is no further room for the pipe to go over and so i let...

    Specs on a 95 Cobra???

    They're great cars, about 240 hp. My brother had one, one of the most beutiful mustangs i've ever seen (not stock appearance, but not too far). He got his to 14.2 on street tires at a not-so-great track bone stock. -GM
