    Do i need to do anything to my transmission?

    from what i know they dont make a speedcal for autos. Speedcal just adjusts your speedometer. its the shift points you should worry about. try flooring it from a stop up to the one-two shift and see if you hit the limiter (or close).sometimes 4.10s makes your rpm's climb faster than your auto...

    Whats the deal with Mod motors and weather?

    I too wondered this often. I remember in the winter my car ran like a champ here in vegas. When it got 100+ it would feel like it gained weight. :(

    Possible Throttle Problem?

    i think its normal. a lot f cars do that so i wouldnt worry. have you done the gas pedal free mod? it gets rid of most of that slack by raising the pedal up to about flush with the brake pedal so the driver could floor it all the way instead of hitting the carpet.

    nitto nt555 drag radial

    yes i will also address that any drag radial you buy does not have much tread to begin with. i have about 30+ passes on mine over a period of about half a year with the wear bars just now starting to emerge. im not changing it until they show metal too. It would be too expensive to change it...

    nitto nt555 drag radial

    as long as you dont do driving that is TOO spirited in the rain you should be fine. i drive my DR's in the rain and its nothing i worry about. Watch out for some deep puddles which WILL make you hydroplane.

    Hawk Breakpads

    Hawk Breakpads

    I am one of those unhappy squeakers. I changed them and it squeaked. I did everything right, from the blue disc brake quiet stuff to the caliper piston tool. Then after i couldnt take it anymore i resurfaced the brake rotors myself. Now they squeak only when cold but when theyre warm ALMOST no...

    Exhaust leak...

    oh yeah dont use the paper looking gasket they gave you. Just use the ford one if its still good. If you use the paper one the gasket will eventually break.

    Exhaust leak...

    most people say it sounds like a sprinkler. (pfft pfft pfft) it should be rhythmic.when i had an exhaust leak you can REALLY hear it putting a load on the engine (like driving uphill in a high gear) with the windows up.
