    My 4.6 pony needs SERIOUS help!

    Swap a stock ECM with the same 4 digit alphanumeric code. A lot ECM failures start with these exact symptoms.

    Aftermarket Cams

    If it shakes at idle or startup it is most likely a broken motor mount or a fouled plug causing a miss.

    A build for my father...

    You want to build a badass 2V to honor your father? I can respect that. TRICK FLOW HEADS and Intake, big bore+stroker shortblock, HP turbo system and matching cams, maybe a shot of NO2 on top. Doesn't get much more badass than that. Good luck, remember the good times with your dad, and have...

    Best plugs for blown application?

    I run autolite 103's. But my heads are fully threaded. if you have half height threaded heads, which unless your heads are 2004+ 4v they are half height. Use copper and 2 stages colder than stock for anything more than 10#'s

    TrickFlow 2v heads

    He may not be gaining anything where peak power is concerned, but there is total power to consider. Since the blower needs less torque to flow the same amount of air, and less pumping losses through the heads. Power goes up across all rpm's. Also, mpg should go up. Lots of benefits that...

    would a cobra transmissio fit in a GT 99-04

    You will also need a different crossmember or you have to modify what you have.

    TrickFlow 2v heads

    I run an 8 rib with a reichard ultra grip and a Thumper tensioner all from BGG performance with no slip. I am at just over 60,000RPM on the blower which is about 10% beyond max rated (55,000). You will need a really big blower to get to 20# if you run an air-to-air intercooler. My intake...

    what are cheap 99-04 mustang gt mods or upgrade kits?

    Gears are the only thing in that range that are performance improving CAI, TB, MAF, shorties, mufflers, and pretty much anything else at that price range is worthless at your performance level. The stock stuff isn't bad at stock levels of power.

    PRErequisites for CAMS?

    dvtr-, are you wanting to do a built shortblock? The best way to make a lot of power NA is with a lot of RPM, which a shortblock will allow for. If you don't want a built shortblock and a blower is off the table, how about nitrous? Anything up to about a 125 shot is relatively safe. As far...

    TrickFlow 2v heads

    If you were making 8psi on stock pi heads, I doubt you even see a full 6psi at the same RPM with the added flow from the trick flow heads. But you should definitely see a power increase despite the drop in boost. With the P-51 and a set of stage 2 cams and full bolt-ons, I don't think you can...

    5.4 factory supercharger kit

    I have a new 2002 Harley Davidson F-150 factory take-off supercharger assembly. I have also got all the hardware necessary to mount it to any PI 5.4 engine. Every bolt, washer and component necessary is included and is also new. All you need to do is get it tuned. The lower manifold is setup...

    Ported stock plenum and stock TB#??

    Your sig says nothing about a 4.6 car so I am just going to assume that a 4.6 is what you have. Don't bother porting the plenum, you will get much better (although still meager) results going with an aftermarket plenum. As for porting your TB, you shouldn't do it for at least 4 reasons. 1...

    Paxton Novi 2000 Belt Install

    One thing to remember is you have to do is unbolt the long bracket spacer in order to put the belt on and then reinstall that spacer. You can use just a 3/8 drive ratchet to slack the tensioner. Just put the ratchet into the square hole and torque down. A two man crew to do this works great...

    I run 4.10's in mine, but I run a six speed with a .50 top gear. First four gears are the same ratios basically and get you to 100 real darn quick.

    Shopping for new exhaust- few questions

    I know you said you want Borla, may I ask why? Have you heard some of the other profiles out there? I have heard a lot of them, and while Borla is ok, I definitely don't think they are the best. I recommend you check out MustangExhaust.com - Blog There are plenty of profiles there to...

    99 mustang dyno numbers good or bad

    Rispoli 23, like dls322 says, there are a lot of liars. Unfortunately that doesn't exclude manufacturers. As far as magazines go, they wouldn't stay in business very long if they told you in their articles that the parts they tested made no power. They rely on advertising dollars from the...

    clutch and flywheel info needed before i order

    As far as I know, every stock mustang transmission comes with a 10 spline input shaft. 26 spline shafts are commonly seen in aftermarket trannies (my D&D has a 26).

    voltage guage problems

    Some sets of underdrive pullies can really tax your electrical system when the car is idling or stationary, causing your lights to dim and your voltage to become unstable. Honestly from the symptoms you describe, I think if anything is needing replacing it will be the alternator due to a...
