    Forced Induction High No Levels At E-check

    I have an '02 GT with a KB blower, have had it set up this way for 5 years with no problems. In Ohio you must pass an emissions check every two years. This year I went & it didn't pass because of high NO. Everything I read on this says that it's possibly a temperature issue. I'm not sure if...

    Full Bassani Exhaust

    I had this one in the Cobra section, but got zero responses. Hoping it works better here... I've had a full Bassani exhaust on my '03 Cobra for a few months now & can't seem to get over the fact that it sounds like a coffee can full of BBs when I step on it. Anyone else have this setup? Does...

    2003 Cobra Bassani Exhaust

    I've had a full Bassani exhaust for a few months now & can't seem to get over the fact that it sounds like a coffee can full of bb's when I step on it. Anyone else have this setup? Does it sound like that for you, or is something rattling around on mine?

    Ohio - West Side of Cleveland Shops

    Anyone know of a good shop out near Avon? I had been taking my cars to Hutter Racing in Chardon, but that's a heck of a drive for me now!

    Shorties vs Long Tube Headers

    I know that long tubes generate more HP than shorties, but how much better are shorties than stock? How many horses can I expect from them?

    Day At The Track

    Had my first ever day at the drag strip today... The car was running well, but I couldn't get any traction AT ALL through 1st & 2nd gear. My best 60 ft time was 2.138. :notnice: Talking to some guys there, they said that it wasn't bad for street tires, though. Best time was a 14.194 @...

    Valve Spring Life

    How long do the stock valve springs last? I have 63k miles & am just beginning to race my car, although it still sees more street than strip. I'd like to follow Killgore's lead & do some preventative maintenance before I run into any problems. Is there anything else that I should be...

    Is a Custom Tune Required?

    Do I need to go to a dyno shop & have the 'stang custom-tuned after installing the items listed below? * Ported/polished plenum & TB * K&N FIPK * New Midpipe It's already been tuned by a Superchips handheld.

    PCV Valve Replace

    Any tips on getting the hard plastic boot off of the old PCV valve?

    Tune Up & Midpipe Install

    Just got done replacing the plugs. I had read that you had to shut the fuel off to the rails, run the engine until it stalled, unbolt the rails & pry them back, blah blah blah... None of that was necessary. In fact, it was as easy as changing them in my old 5.0. I guess I was intimidated by...

    Exhaust Install

    I have an old, rusty stock h-pipe that I'd like to take off & replace with a new, shiny Bassani x-pipe. I've never done anything with the exhaust before. A few questions... 1) Is this something that I could do myself w/o any special tools? 2) Would weld-in flows change the install?

    Gear Install Kits

    Are gear install kits a universal fit? For example, will a FRPP install kit work with Motive gears?

    Fuel Filter

    Any recommendations on which brand to use, or are they all the same? I figure that OEM will do just fine with the stock fuel delivery system, but if there are alternatives I'm open to suggestions!
