    Timing Ajuster ????

    Mine is set at 14 degrees. no more jerking or bucking than stock. I recommend the T/A only if you aren't planning on a chip or dyno tune anytime soon.

    Has anyone actually used the K40 Laser jammer

    I got a ticket this morning for 68 mph in a 45. Bummer. He lowered it to "Failure to Obey a Traffic Control Device". Whatever that means. $80 instead of $200. So, i guess I can't complain. Was a motorcycle state trooper. He got me with Laser. My detector just started screaming. It was...

    Ford 3.73s or Motive 3.90s, Are motive gears OK?

    Anyone who gets a higher gear (lower numerical) because they are worried about traction is a sissy. Learn to drive. With stock gears my best 60 ft was 2.0. First time out on 4.10's cut consistent 2.0's. There are quite a few folks cutting 1.9's and even 1.8's on street tires (not drag...

    Another Tint Question

    I had the shop that did mine go all the way up. 2 weeks later it peeled on top of the dot matrix. I just cut it straight across right under the dots and pulled it off. From the outside, you can't tell unless you get really close and look. From the inside there's a bit light strip at the top...

    03 Cobra vs. 03 Mach 1

    I totally agree with you the Mach 1 looks exactly the same as a v6 just some nicer wheels, lower, with a nicer front chin spoiler and same rear bumper, plus the hood is nicer and different color spoiler, plus the interior :shrug: :rolleyes: :nonono: Bonehead.

    stock quarter mile times

    My best stock was 13.99@100 with 2.1 60 ft. There is no "exact stock quarter mile time". Everyone is different. Depends on the driver and the car.

    What gear to start a burnout????

    Ya'll would do well to listen to Jackie Chan when it comes to cutting good 60 fts on street tires. He cuts CONSISTENT (interpretation: nearly EVERY time) 1.9's on street tires (no drag radials).

    I need a really big scale....

    Hmmm..you're probably right. I weighed my 03 GT at FFW in gainesville and it weighed 3400 lbs with me in it. I weigh about 225 lbs. So...that's 3175 lbs for just the car. 1/8th tank of gas, no spare/jack, but full interior (seats, etc).

    drivetrain lash & valves tapping

    Yep...he nailed it all on the head. buy better gas for the pinging, and buy a Honda for the drivetrain problem.

    noise from under the car

    On the passenger side, right above where the stock manifold bolts to the midpipe there is a little hose that is open. This is where the condensation that builds up on the A/C system drains. When you get out and shut the door, it shakes the car a bit and the water will drip onto the hot...

    Add 60HP For $299!!

    This product on a car with stock timing wouldn't do anything. The whole point of it is that it will allow more aggressive timing without detonation. The extra power comes from the advanced timing.

    99+ show me your drop!!

    Rocketman: Did you leave the isolators in? I've got the same Eiback Pro-Kit, but mine doesn't look as low as yours does. Click my sig and check my pics. Doesn't yours look lower? I left the isolators in. ?

    How to get 500 RWHP??

    420 rwhp reliably on a stock 2v 4.6 bottom end? Depends on what you mean by reliable. With that kind of power, you better have a VERY good tune. Most likely you'll be on borrowed time.

    How to get 500 RWHP??

    $5k to build the motor w/reliable bottom end. $5k for EVERY bolt on $4k-$5k for blower/install/dyno tune $15k for reliable 500 rwhp on top of the cost of the car. OR 2003 Cobra w/pulley, exhaust, cold air intake, dyno tune hmmmm.....I'd go with the snake.

    Which weighs more (a wheel question)

    I weighed my stock base GT 5 spokes with stock goodyears last night and they weigh a total of 41 lbs each. Goodyear says the stock tire weighs 24 lbs. Mine are basically worn out so take generous 2 lbs off and that leaves 19 lbs left for the wheel. Not bad for a stock wheel.

    Problems after C&L Plenum and Accufab 75mm T/B install... NEED HELP!!!

    The above post is the best advice in this entire thread. Put it back to stock (MAF, TB, Plenum). Add the plenum. If all is fine, add the TB. If all is still fine, toss the MAF in the trash, because the stock piece is plenty unless you have a supercharger or turbo.
