    New torque converter track results

    If I can only gain 2 tenths from my previous best, the stock converter is going back in. I'm expecting to improve by at least 3 tenths, once I get things ironed out. I was hoping for 5 tenths based on other threads I've read. I've been sick with the flu for the last 2 weeks and haven't made it...

    So she wants one!

    An npi 4.6 is a lot slower than your car even with a stick. Have her test drive one and then decide.

    ET streets with radial fronts???

    I run e/t streets with my regular street radials on the front. At anything below 20 psi, it starts to sway petty good at the big end. Two hands on the wheel are a must but it's drivable. I can't say what it would be like with radial skinnys though.

    NEED SERIOUS OBDII HELP...

    You never mentioned if you have cats or not. I'd guess you don't, or they're high flow cats. And that's why the stock tune is setting codes. The SCT custom tunes probably are written to prevent the cat monitoring codes from setting, thus the readiness monitors won't set. O2 sensor heater circuit...

    O/R Pipe = Rotten Egg Smell?

    It could be your battery, or your battery is being overcharged by a failing alternator.

    New torque converter track results

    I was hoping for a little less loss in trap speed and expecting the 60ft time would more than make up for it. Maybe I was expecting too much. Does anyone know a way to determine if the stall is too high? I guess I need to pay more attention to the tach and less to the staging lights till I get...

    New torque converter track results

    I'm going to try it out again at the track and work on my 60ft. I'll data log my runs too so I can see what's happening. No point getting it tuned till I know if I'm going to stay with the current stall. Maybe I should drag out my old drag radials that I have more experience with. They're bald...

    Cobrared, whats yours like under normal acceleration city driving. Mines like driving a constant Variable transmission. Rpm's are around 2000 rpm, shifts barely noticable, until lockup.

    It's not locking. I was trapping at 5200 rpm. stock I trapped at 5000. I'd still have to get a custom tune to lock it at full throttle. I figured I concentrate on my 60 ft before making any more changes.

    Dyno and Exhaust Smoke

    A little valve seal leakage isn't anything to worry about, as long as you don't go through a lot of oil. If you go 1000 miles before adding a quart you're more than fine.

    I just installed a 3500 rpm stall 9.5 inch converter and went to the track for the first time on the 1st. ran a best of [email protected] mph with a 1.950 60ft. I,m not happy. Previous best was 13.41 @ 103, with a 2.01 60 ft. Only a slight improvement in the 60 and 330, but a loss of 2 mph for a net...

    What should i do? keep the GT or buy a mach?

    Sell the bike. Buy a condo and rent it out. Better way to spend if you can't save.

    RPM/voltage drop at idle

    You mentioned your cooling fan is kicking on when it does it. I was wondering if your a/c compressor is kicking in and causing it? See if it does it if you leave the a/c control in the off position. The a/c does kick in in the defrost positions by the way.

    RPM/voltage drop at idle

    When you installed the deck, did you disconnect the battery? I'd take the battery terminals off and make sure that the contact surfaces are clean and shiny. After you reconnect the battery, grab the terminals and make sure they are secure and don't wiggle. Poor battery connections can cause...

    2001 gt won't turn over after some work

    Long tubes are good for around 20 hp give or take. At this point the install cost is minimal. I'd recommend them as long as emissions arn't an issue.

    Goin to the track

    What's the pedal mod? Is that to take out the throttle cable slack? If it is you may want to check how much tension is on the cable with someone pushing the pedal to the floor. Too much and it'll snap.

    2002 Mustang GT running lean

    You may have a vacuum leak. If you've got all the vacuum lines connected and in the right locations, you can use a spray, such as throttle body cleaner to spray around the intake, throttle body and intake ducting to try and pinpoint a leak. While the engine is running, if the idle changes when...
