    Getting 4.10s soon...expectations?

    I actually shift less with my 4.10's in town, because I can put it in 5th gear, and pull from 40mph on up to whatever I want, where before 5th gear was useless on anything but the highway, and I was constantly shifting between 3rd and 4th. Now I just put it in 4th, and if I slow down to 25mph...

    aftermarket vs oem bullitt wheels

    There's a slight color difference, but 99.9% of people never noticed until I pointed it out when I had my stock front wheels.

    What's the Best N/A Cam?

    How to check for bad COPs with multimeter

    I tried the swapping route, and after about a week of swapping, and not getting anywhere, I gave up and did what I should have done from the beginning. Take it to ford, and have them run a load test on the COPS. 10 minutes at the dealer, $75 later, and I knew exactly which 4 were weak...

    so i have a problem.....

    Have you read the codes lately? Burning that much fuel, I would think there's something else besides the rear O2's showing up.

    '97 Cobra brake rotors into '97 GT, possible?

    nope, they have 13" rotors, you'd have to change your calipers and brackets as well.

    Model Years Receiving Revisions By Ford

    The swap from the T45 and 10.5" clutch to the T3650 and 11" clutch in '01 was a big one also.

    Decisions, Need Advice.

    I would say gears, but then you need to have some way to correct the speedo, and if it's an auto, correct the shift points. SpeedCal will do that, but in my opinion, if you're planning on continuing modding, you'll replace it with. So, in working towards gears, I would also say to buy a...

    another tuner debate!

    Ummmmmmm, I have an SCT SF3/X3, and when I go to the dyno, I will just hand my handheld to the tuner, which he uses to transfer the tune from his computer to program my car. I bought it with a generic tune in it, have a mail order tune right now, and when it comes time to dynotune, I will use...

    p1639 code, could this have been the problem all along?

    That's an easy thing to check and see if they're feeding you a line. Just get the catch code off the computer, and look it up to see what vehicle it came out of. Then there's no doubt about it.

    Aftermarket ignition cops, safe???

    Stick to Motorcraft, they put out plenty of spark for 99% of builds. If you want to get something better, skip the MSD, Granatelli, and all the rest, and go with the Weapon X's or Snipers (both the same, different stickers), they're the only ones that have shown any gain at all over the...

    99-04 Common Issues

    The slight stumbling is usually caused by a weak COP or a bad COP spring/boot combo. Unfortunately, the only way to find a weak COP is either to use a known good one and swap them out one at a time until the problem is gone (if it's only 1 that's bad to begin with), or take it to Ford, they...

    another tuner debate!

    The best answer for buying a tuner is to find out what the reputable dynotuner near you uses, and buy whichever one he supports, that way when you get into more mods, and want to have it dynotuned, you don't have to rebuy the equipment. That is the biggest deciding factor in buying a tuner to...

    Bullitt Rim Decisions

    I would have to agree with this statement for 18's. Definately the best combo. For 17's, I went with 315/35's on the back, 275/40's on the front.

    how do you guys drive it in the snow?

    Here in NC, we don't get much snow, but this year they were calling for 2 inches of snow. They're normally full of crap, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but I did swap my wheels for the crappy ones that came on my car just in case we got a dusting. Whoever owned the car before me put...

    New Guy!!!

    The cowl is no longer on the car now, the entire car is actually at the bodyshop getting some work done, and the stock hood is back on it. It will also have a 99/01 Cobra front bumper cover on it. As far as rebuilding the coil packs, I bought a set of new boots and springs for them before...
