    C&L Intake and UPS

    I had a package that was shipped UPS blue (2nd day air) that went from the east coast to Albuquerque in a day then rode around in the UPS truck for a week because they were too lazy to deliver it. I got the same run around from them. You'd think with as much as UPS pays drivers, they could find...

    Added 20hp with C&L combo! Dyno results here

    Since the heads aren't capable of flowing as well as PI heads there isn't as much potential for increase, but you may still see something. I got an extra 30HP by swapping out my H-pipe and that was with stock heads and intake. :nice:

    Need help w/igntn prob- Ford's stumped

    Clean the connections on the starter, battery terminal and the fuse block under the hood. A marginal connection at any of those points can give you that problem. Also, check the bolts in the starter; if it isn't grounded well, you could have the same symptom. Good luck. :nice:

    96-97 & 98

    The fuel rail is different - the regulator is built in. I had to get a 97 fuel rail in order to use an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Otherwise, the engine is the same. :nice:

    A question abou Catbacks

    A catback has no impact on the O2 sensors, because all of the O2 sensors are located on the H-pipe and are upstream from the catback. :nice: If, however, you install an aftermarket H or X pipe (catted or off road) you will need to turn off the rear O2 sensors to prevent a MIL from low...

    '96-'98 Cobra or 99+ GT

    96-98 Cobra has 32V motor, 305HP while the 99+ GT has a 16V motor with 260HP. There is much more potential with the Cobra...Sounds like a no brainer to me. :D

    Mustang won't start

    These are some stupid questions, but before you let the dealer lop off a couple of limbs and hold on to your car for 4 or 5 weeks here goes: 1. Is your fuel pressure normal? 2. Do you have any blown fuses? 3. Have you tried clearing the KAM for the PCM? I hope it turns out to be...

    Power Impressions of 5.0 5sp Vs. 4.6L 5sp

    The Fox body is lighter than the newer Mustangs. I sold my 88 5.0 to buy my 98 and the 88 was noticeably faster than either a stock 98 or a 95 Cobra I test drove with the 235HP 5.0L. The Fox body is almost as flimsy as a Yugo, but they are light and fast... :D

    180 Thermostat worth doing?

    I installed a 160 degree thermostat in my car and reprogrammed the fans to come on at 160 degrees rather than 208 and saw no difference in engine temperature in the summer because the radiator is inadequate to take enough heat out to maintain that temperature. When the weather cooled off, it was...

    what gears on 98gt

    The possibilities are 2.73, 3.08, 3.27, and 3.45. Check the axle code on the sticker inside the driver's door frame. :nice:

    Keyless entry/Alarm

    Not necessarily, the active alarm will flash the lights and honk the horn if you open a door or the trunk after the system is armed. The PATS already makes it next to impossible to steal a Mustang without a tow truck... :nice:

    bank 2 reading lean help me please???

    No dealership should be willing to work on any car with an illegal exhaust system unless they are making it legal again. They can get fined for it if they get caught... :nonono:

    *GASP*!!! Woke up and found my passenger side flooded.

    Coolant bottle is by the radiator and if it isn't low, the problem is not likely to be your heater core. If water isn't leaking in around the window or top, it is probably coming from the AC/heater duct unit. That is also a PITA, but you may be able to fix it with RTV without having to remove...

    Seriously Need Help With Heads

    The SVO heads are for the 96-98 and work with either the stock 96-98 intake or the SVO intake which is essentially a Bullitt intake for non-PI heads. I am not aware of any aftermarket heads for the 4.6L other than ported PI heads. If you use SVO heads on a 99+ engine you will lose compression. I...

    Has anyone noticed less power after car relearns....

    Some mods can temporarily make your car run rich which will produce slightly more power. As the adaptive strategy learns to compensate for the mods, your A/F ratio will go back to normal and you may lose power. :nice:

    Will I lose Power?

    Probably not with your mods, but if you had 600 RWHP that would probably be a different story... :nice:
