    Mustang factory alarm

    Why would you want your alarm more sensitive? I feel sorry for all the alarms i've set off when passing by them in parking lots. I like the way the system works on my 98. If someone were to bust a window and open the door from the inside when the car is locked, then the horm blows, the lights...

    Clutch Change

    I've got my engine out of my car for a head change and i'm thinking about changing out my clutch disc. Can I change out just the disc without having to change out the pressure plate?

    anyone in Louisiana ?

    I called Thunder Racing. They do not tune Mustangs. I'm sure you can go run your car on the dyno there, but they do not have the equipment to burn a custom tune onto mustangs. I haven't called Futral Motorsports yet but from the look of their website i would say they only deal with GM products...

    Pi intake question

    It's worth the extra time and money to find yourself an intake with the aluminum crossover. I would hate to upgrade to PI only to still have the chance of cracking up front.

    Dr. Gas X-Pipe

    For the prices i've seen, i think i'll stick with the BBK i paid 150 for. Not to mention the extra cost and trouble of welding it in

    Dr. Gas X-Pipe

    What is it about this pipe that makes it flow better than others? I've heard a lot about it lately on the board and i'm just wondering how much better is it than the rest. I'm getting ready to install a BBK o/r x on my car. HOw much better is the Dr. Gas? how much does dr. gas cost??

    anyone in Louisiana ?

    Drew, wish i had good news for you buddy, but i've been searching for a local place to custom tuning on my 98GT. Closest i've found is in houston. I talked to a guy at the Lamarque ford dealership that knows someone that would fly in from houston to N.O. and do the tuing here, but he said that...

    pi intake on 98 motor gasket question

    No problem blackcobra. I did the swap myself in my driveway. I worked on it in the afternoons after work. Worked on it about 2-3 hours each day and it only took my 3 afternoons. Once i started going back up with it i REALLY took my time to make sure i had all plugs and vacuum lines back where...

    Moving needles when installing gauge overlays

    No. I moved them all over when i installed a set of gauges and they all came back into place. I beleive all the gauge movement is more or less computer controlled than simply mechanical.

    Is it possible to warp your rotors by over-torquing your lugs?

    I believe that it is more likely that you will warp your wheel before you warp the rotor from over-tightening

    New and Old 4.6's ( question )

    They might not boost your horsepower any, but gears will give you the biggest SOTP gain for the dollar. It's best to let a shop do it and most jobs end up costing around $500 parts included.

    New and Old 4.6's ( question )

    the PI headswap would put you right at the 260hp of the 99+ GT and possibly a few more than that due to the higher compression ratio that you will have. Changing out the heads will make all other mods you do to your car that much more of an inprovement

    pi intake on 98 motor gasket question

    First go over to modular depot and make a post on their parts forum asking randy for the parts needed to do your swap. Tell him you want the NPI gaskets. When you remove the old intake, spend a lot of time cleaning the old gasket material off the old heads. set the Non-PI gaskets in place and...

    Question about 98...computer related

    What are my options for getting a tune done on my car? I've yet to find a place in Louisiana that does dyno tuning on mustangs. It would probably be in my best interest to get a tuner and do it myself? or possibly get a chip that i can send off with a list of mods and get tuned? Please fill me...

    96 and 97 GTs made 215 at the fly wheel. In 98 it bumped up to 225. I'm not sure of the tq numbers. the PI headswap would be a worthwhile mod. Get you up around 260+hp
