    Degreeing NPI Comp Cams?

    I degreed in my cams and the car idles/revs/accelerates so much more smooth than before. My stock crank timing gear was out 3 degrees, driver's gear was about 1 - 2 degrees out and the passenger was out 3 degrees. So, in total I was out 4-5 on the passengers side and 6 on the driver's...

    MM PHB going in, exhaust decision to make

    Here's my setup right now: - MAC longtubes - Lethal Performance Catted X pipe for MAC longtubes - Pypes Violator Catback. Honestly, it sounds fantastic. It's the best sounding exhaust I've heard yet. However, It does get a little loud *for me* cruising around town. Really, it's not...

    MM PHB going in, exhaust decision to make

    I was in the same position as you. I've tried a couple of things: 1) Dynomax makes some tailpipes that will bolt up, but don't fit overly well. It DOES work though. 2) I currently have the Pypes catback and it fit the PHB with no problems.. It's cheaper than $430 too and it's stainless...

    Rod bearing replacment

    If you support the engine from above and drop the K member the pan is right there.. It would be pretty easy once you have the K member dropped.. Riley

    Inspection

    I passed in OH with: - 2v Stroker - Ported Heads - MPH Blower Cams - No EGR - Longtubes - Catted Longtube X - Rear O2 sensors are turned off in the SCT tune. Previously, I passed two times with no cats and MIL eliminators. They just plug into the OBDII port and as long as the green "OK"...

    Installed clutch, now speedometer not working

    Well, all the transmission connectors and wiring are all in that area behind the intake. There are at least three connectors there. I'm willing to bet either one of those connectors is loose or there is a broken wire somewhere. You said you already replaced the VSS.. Do your reverse lights...

    Mobile 1 (5-20) GONE for now

    I was at Autozone the other day and I saw the Mobile 1 0w-20 on the shelf.. I read the back and it said it met all the specs of 5w-20 and could be safely used "for increased economy". Riley

    2004 Mustang GT exhaust without drone?

    I have: MAC Longtubes Lethal Performance catted X pipe for MAC longtubes Pypes catback.. It doesn't "drone" so much as you get that steady resonance "waaahh wahhh" left-to-right sound, but you can still hear the rumble of the exhaust.. The sound of the whole system though is fantastic.. Riley

    can head/cam caps be replaced

    Some shops will align bore them or bore them to use bearings.. I hear the bearing method isn't too successful though.. Riley

    Anyone have the new kenne bell 2.1 big bore or 2.6 big bore?

    No worries man.. As far as I know the electric water pump is only needed if you go with the large damper. Once you get that big it interferes with the water pump pulley and you need to go with an electric pump that has a smaller idler on it. I have the 8 rib kit from Randy Stinchomb and it...

    Anyone have the new kenne bell 2.1 big bore or 2.6 big bore?

    I know the 2.6 fits under a stock 03 cobra hood *on a cobra*, but doesn't fit the stock 03 cobra hood *on a GT*. Mike at Kb said it was due to the way the lower intake was designed. So, I would think that the height of the IAC is significant enough if it won't fit under a terminator hood on...

    Anyone have the new kenne bell 2.1 big bore or 2.6 big bore?

    You just said that the motor would be out for a rebuild and you didn't give us any specs. I wanted to make sure you knew that you will need a "built" motor. Sounds like you have everything you already need then.. By all means go for the 2.6.. Riley

    Broken Differential

    If the car doesn't move at all then I would suspect a broken input shaft over something in the rear.. Unless there is something to tell you that's definitely in the rear somewhere.. Riley

    Anyone have the new kenne bell 2.1 big bore or 2.6 big bore?

    The KB "rated for" numbers are generally theoretical.. You will never get 750hp out of the 2.1 nor 950 out of the 2.6. The inlet is the restriction on the 2.1. Just look at the difference between the 2.2 and the 2.1. There is only .1 liters difference and people make way more power with the 2.2...

    balance question

    All modular parts should be neutral balanced. So, your flywheel should be the same. However, I would still have it checked before you install it.. Riley

    cam shaft bolts

    I thought they were, but I could be wrong also.. I doubt it will hurt anything to reuse the stock bolts.. I just replaced them all with ARP stuff.. Riley

    cam shaft bolts

    Huh.. The PI cam bolts are the same as the harmonic damper bolts (different washer though) and I thought the damper bolts were TTY.... Riley

    cam shaft bolts

    ARP makes cam bolts for out motors.. They are NOT torque to yield bolts so you can use them more than once.. Riley
