    Rev limit?

    Good plan.

    Rev limit?

    Could it be you're running out of power at high revs? If so change your fuel filter to start with.

    Rev limit?

    How fast are you going to be able to shift 3-4 at wot! 120 mph? If you don't want slippage on the shifts, you increase shift pressure. I doubt the tranny is even designed to withstand multiple 3-4 shifts at wot. The last thing you want is to hit the rev limiter on shifts and that's what will...

    AC SUX HP

    It does rob power. I found that after installing the underdrive pullies, it's hardly noticable now. And the a/c won't hurt your gas milage as much then either. A real benefit of underdrive pullies that doesn't seem to get mentioned. Don't go with the piggy back type though.

    AOD-E Help? Racing...

    It sounds to me like between the 3.73 gears and all that power you're making, the transmission can't shift fast enough to beat the engine to the rev limiter. a tune to program the 1-2 shift earlier at wide open throttle would likely cure the problem. Performing the J-mod would help too, by...

    Magnaflow Catback (not Magnapack) with SLP or Magnaflow Catted-X?

    My wife doesn't even wanna ride in mine anymore. My brother and I went on a trip in our separate cars. I offered to allow him to drive my stang. He said no thanks, i don't wanna go deaf.:shrug: He was driving a Corsica.

    Magnaflow Catback (not Magnapack) with SLP or Magnaflow Catted-X?

    Stock H and Magnaflow catback was loud enough that I added extra carpet underlay to quiet the inside of the car. Mostly for the cold drone. Ya at idle it was quiet but driving and accelerating it was much louder. After the x-pipe I added more sound deadening and I worry about getting pulled over...

    Need help with A/C pressure and discharge

    I agree with taking it to a dealer. They know the cars and the a/c systems better than anyone. you might get a cheaper quote somewhere else but next year you'll have to have it fixed again.

    HAD IT with engine noise help

    Id just throw the stock throttle body and plenum back on just to eliminate that possibility. It's easy to do and noises can be very tricky sometimes. Noise complaints are common after plenum throttle body changes, and at least you can then be sure. It could be tranny problem, but I'd still go...

    Magnaflow Catback (not Magnapack) with SLP or Magnaflow Catted-X?

    I've got the Magnaflow catback, and with the stock H-pipe, it is a lot louder than stock. Especially with the windows closed. I later added a BBK off road X-pipe and it's obnoxously loud. But the power gain on the track was huge. If you don't want to go to loud, start with the catback first...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    :stupid: swap the frt tires before you do anything more.

    ouch!

    Mity2 makes a good point. I was thinking the same thing. It sucks that you're forced to fix it now but it makes sense to do it right at this point, unless you don't plan on keeping it for a long time.

    ouch!

    You might wanna look at your blower and the rest of your intake ducts, maf, air cleaner, and such to determine where the pieces in your plenum came from. It looks like something came apart and it's pieces went through your motor. With the piston and head damage shown, you might also have rods...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    More caster would be nice but caster is not a tire wearing angle.It's main purpose is to provide straight ahead stability and returnablity when completing a turn. I'd suggest setting the camber to -.9 on the left to match the right. The difference in the caster will provide a slight left pull...
