    whats with the trap speed?

    I agree on the tune advice. I had the Ford "performance" tune before I went with brenspeed. Huge improvement. Are you hitting the traps in 4th with stock gear? I hit the traps in 3rd with 3.55 and stock redline.

    Exhaust Poll

    I used the Ford Racing Mufflers and they did sound nice. But on the performance side, They didn't make a bit of difference in my track times. Actually my best time is on stock exhaust.

    Re-Tuning

    I read a post in the forums that said you shouldn't reflash too often. Is this a known issue? Is the concern wearing out the flash memory of the ECU? I only ask because I flash mine twice every other week.

    2nd Clutch

    I can't say I've noticed it engaging at different spots normally. Recently it did seem to engage at the top of the the pedal travel which caught my attention from days with mechanical clutch linkages. I am noticing a bit of slippage leaning on 2nd and 3rd. I may have just glazed it not sure

    Parking Brake

    I haven't broken mine , but I am interested in swapping the cables out due to winter freeze ups. Has anyone found a replacement cable that fixes the water retention problem that the TSB describes? (that ford says doesn't apply to my car) I drained a good bit of water out of the lines when I...

    OK which tune...

    Yup :D I think it has something to do with the gear putting less load on the motor. I run around 2250 RPM at 65mph If I use the cruise control at 65 I hit 26-27 mpg. about 35k miles on the car, original plugs , new fluids and filters Before you do the plugs read the thread...

    OK which tune...

    I use the brenspeed tune. I noticed a significant improvement from the ford motorsports tune I had previously. I have not tried Bamachips. I keep the tuner in the car and flash to 87 for commuting and switch to 93 at the pump when I want to have some fun. Very drivable. I get 27mpg @65 on 87...

    Tire screws

    I have been having an issue with my wheel spinning inside the drag rubber at the track. I am unsure of how many rotations I'm getting , but at least 1 full spin. Ensuring the tires are very wet at the burnout box helps but not solved. I am running 17x9 american muscle wheels and M/T rubber...

    2nd Clutch

    I believe I am near the end of my OEM clutch. I would like to have my replacement parts ready to go when she gives out. I would like to go beefier but I drive 100 miles a day and don't want to have a super muscular left leg. The car makes 10 passes a month at the dragstrip and sees...

    octane and oil thoughts..

    I am not so worried about it, simply sharing my noobish understanding of the topic. I feel it is unlikely that a little lower quality or viscosity oil will cause the motor to grenade below 36k miles. I do feel that higher quality and a bit higher viscosity oil will extend the long term life of...

    octane and oil thoughts..

    IMHO what it boils down to is this: Ford would like to say that we can wait longer for oil changes as that reduces the total cost of ownership. This is a piece of key marketing data. Changing your oil more frequently will decrease engine wear assuming you prime the filters and use...
