    irregular hesitation at acceleration

    It has 28,000 on it. About 2000 miles ago I pulled the sparkplugs, cleaned them and check their condition. Everything seems fine. I haven't done any check on the COPs. The car runs smooth as silk at all other times.

    irregular hesitation at acceleration

    I have an 06 GT auto with a JLT CAI and 91 octane tune from Brenspeed. The car runs great and normally responds well at acceleration. However, if I have been driving at highway speeds for a couple of hours and then stop to pay a toll (the car isn't turned off) it will hesitate and feel like it...

    throttle body spacer

    My mileage increased immediately. 2 to 3 around town and around 4 on the freeway, which is good because I had it tuned for 91 octane. Of course all bets are off when I start playing with the throttle.

    Walked out of a 7-11 the other day....

    The first week I drove my 06 to church a 12 year old girl walked up to me with a bright smile. The conversation went like this: 12 yr: "Really cool car." ME: "Thanks. Does that make me cool too?" 12 yr: "Oh yeah!!" ME: "Was I cool before the car" 12 yr: -silent pause-..... "You...

    Hi Volt COPs

    Well... I'm disappointed to say the least. My other hobby is wood working and I have found almost all product reviews in my woodworking magazines to be dead on. I'm guessing that these car magazine reviews are driven by the advertisers.

    Hi Volt COPs

    for BDCardinal In the article they specifically said it wasn't on a dynojet but on a Ford Chassis Dyno. I'm not familiar with the name but they did want it known that they weren't using a dynojet.

    Hi Volt COPs

    In the magazine article they were testing a set of Granatelli Extreme COPs on Granatelli's dyno at the Granatelli shop. The car happened to have a Granatelli CAI too. I hope that's not the only reason they got such an amazing result.

    Hi Volt COPs

    The June issue of Mod Mustangs & Fords has an article on pg 76 testing the results of some high voltage COPs on a 08 GT/CS with CAI and tune as the only listed mod. The results showed an increase of 27 HP on the dyno. I have seen several comments here that have said that these COPs only make a...

    Bad news on the freeway

    I'm from Wichita where people will race right up to the top of the on ramp and then come to a dead stop to check and make sure there is no oncoming traffic they might have to merge with. It pays to watch closely. Looking at where everyone was located in this wreck and the condition of the...

    Bad news on the freeway

    I'm on my way to work this morning in the middle of a Kansas rain storm and traffic is unusually slow with all three lanes at stop and go. (No comments from California, you guys pay for the privilege to drive in this kind of stuff). I finally pass a couple of flashing red and blues then a...

    How much do you pay for an oil change?

    I always pulled the dip stick after a trip to Jiffy Lube just to make sure. Last time the oil obviously hadn't been changed so I checked underneath and the same dirty filter was on the engine. I walked back into the business office and had the manager check it. He had me pull back in the bay...

    4.6L Gas Mileage

    I was getting 17 and 21 until I installed the CAI with tune from Brenspeed. Now it's 19+ and 25. The low end is heavy city with lots of stop and go.

    So what is a PI Swap? What does it accomplish? I feel like I'm learning a foreign language. Thanks

    Did a burnout...got 4 tickets...

    You have taken some heat so let me give you some friendly advice from granddad. I have watched this play out over and over. Most states can suspend a drivers license for at least 30 days following a no insurance ticket. With city budgets such as they are for the last year it's not likely that...

    Did a burnout...got 4 tickets...

    I spend a lot of time in the court here and there is no way I am getting a ticket for this kind of stuff. $25.00 entry fee at Tune & Time night a couple times a month is a safe way to get it all out of your system.

    Spark Plugs and new CAI

    I'm sure everybody has seen this kind of report before but I have to share with somebody. First at 22,000 miles I pulled the spark plugs without a hitch. I started a week ago with a cold engine as recommended and had so much squeaking and moaning of the first plug that I chickened out and...

    Power Lumbar Problem

    The lumbar support on my 06 stopped. I took it into the shop since it was still on warranty. The mechanic said that a cable had broken and could be replaced without removing the seat. It was a pretty quick fix.
