    KB and Fuel Pressure

    The boost guage seems normal, as I can sometimes read 10 PSI at WOT myself with my 9# setup. The fuel guage might not be correct, though. It is hard to tell from your explaination. I have the electrical Autometer guage setup and I either had a bad or "incorrect" sending unit with my fuel...

    Shunting in 4th & 5th gear at low RPMs

    You are now officially :owned: by the Ford "hitching" plague! This strange phenomenon has yet to be resolved... at least that I can find. It is weird how yours just started with a gear change though. Try this: Disconnect your EGR hose going to the EGR valve, plug the vacuum end and see...

    KB Dyno #s

    I have been away from the computer for some time because of the holidays. I hope nobody feels slighted. Matter-of-fact, I haven't even checked my PMs yet. El_kid, I didn't ignore you; I will check my PM. I have to agree with others, I think it is a speed limiter. A Ford dealer can flash your...

    KB Dyno #s

    Hello El Kid. I wonder if we have the same problem? I too am running lean. Let me know if you find your problem and I will do the same. My car's fuel delivery is fine at 50 PSI. Could you try something for me? While cruising at 42 MPH in 5th gear, pay attention to see if you get any...

    Bad Autometer Fuel gauge!

    I got the replacement sender unit and all seems to be well now! However, I also noted that the sending unit I got from Autometer was NOT the same sending unit Summit Racing sent me when I purchesed the gauges. Hmmm? It makes me wonder if there are a couple of models. I saw on another thread that...

    Tuned KB - New #'s!!!

    WOW! This thread took a real curve. :bang: Where do I start?..... First of all, I wasn't trashing KB or their tune. The typed word can take one any type of tone depending on the reader. I can't help that. My intent for my post to this thread was to point out that the world is not...

    Bad Autometer Fuel gauge!

    I just got off the phone with Autometer. They will be sending me a new sender next week. If that does not fix it, then I have to send the meter in for repair. They seemed like they really wanted to fix the problem quickly.

    180 T-Stat installed

    I am not an expert on the whole metal temp thing, but I know that the fan cut-in temp and t-stat should be changed together. The fan can be reprogramed in the chip or tune. With that said, IMHO, the engine should be at a proper operating temperature to be sure that all of the sensors operate...

    Bad Autometer Fuel gauge!

    Hi all, Had the Mustang into the dealer to run a bunch of diagnostics and the mechanic said that my Autometer fuel gauge was not working correctly. He saw the guage and said that the pressure did not seem correct. So he hooked up his expensive mechanical testing gauge and mine was off by...

    Tuned KB - New #'s!!!

    Great numbers! I had my beast in at the Ford dealer for 4 hours to have them run as many diagnostics as they could run. The dealer sells Cobras, Lightnings, and Saleens. They know about blowers and such so I thought that it would be a good place to bring it. Most dealers would not even open...

    Will Magnaflow X w/cats give me drone?

    Until I can get the EGR problem fixed, I will not think of going past the current 9# pulley. I am also running a little too lean in the cold which is causing some detonation issues. So, in a nutshell, no I will not go to more boost yet. I still don't know for sure who "owns" the two problems I...

    Will Magnaflow X w/cats give me drone?

    I am on the edge of ordering a Magnaflow X pipe with cats, but I don't want the dreaded drone at 65 mph in 5th gear. My cat-back will remain stock for now. From what I have gathered from previous posts, it is the cat-back that determines the drone? Please let me know ASAP, as I would like to...

    Pics of 18x10.5 Bullitt wheels.....

    The issue with steering kickback is just that,... steering. His deep dish wheels are in the rear. (no steering) I too like the bullets, but I like chrome for my ride. I might just get a set of the deep dish for the rear someday.

    New 5.4L DOHC Intake for Navi heads - Pics Inside!

    A 5.4 with a carb is like going back to a rock and chisel to send a message from your computer. A lot of the gains in our modern day engines are from fuel injection and the control that a computer can have in that type of system. I doubt you would like what the performance of a small block will...

    New 5.4L DOHC Intake for Navi heads - Pics Inside!

    That intake looks REALLY tall! It looks like it will not fit under a stock hood. Is this an optical illusion? You know what would be better than that intake?..... a nice Kenne Bell blower on top of a 5.4 that would fit under a GT hood! :D You wouldn't need the intake anymore. :p

    cobra r wing question

    The "real" Cobra R wing from Ford Racing will not bolt up directly. Two holes will show. I filled my lid and and painted it. With hind-site, I will suggest that you just get a V6 lid with no holes. You might be able to get one cheap at a junk yard. Don't worry about the lid supporting the wing...

    Grrrrrrrr! Well guys, I just took some precious time out of my schedule to post my notes on my install, only to loose them before posting! :mad: :damnit: :fuss: I am not a good typest and accidentally hit the wrong key in my haste to get it typed out quickly. I was 2 minutes away from...

    >>> Kenne Bell 2V twinscrew SC is here!!!!!

    Don't take this wrong guys, but KB already has a "safe" tune IMHO. The car runs great with no detonation and it gets fantastic gas mileage. Not to say that it can't be improved; just that the "safe" tune seems to come stock with the thing. With that said, the unit is new and Tim might be able to...

    >>> Kenne Bell 2V twinscrew SC is here!!!!!

    It's all good! Well, I did another test drive. Everything sounds the same as the first test drive. I guess it was just late (early) and paranoia was setting in. I still have my cool "zipping" noise on excelleration :nice: and it sounds the same as before at idle. The oil level is about 1/16th...

    >>> Kenne Bell 2V twinscrew SC is here!!!!!

    Warning! I was going to go to bed, but I had to give the car a once-over (as per KB instructions after an initial test run) so I re-checked the fliuds including the blower oil. Strangly, it looked low. Hmmmmmm. I know I didn't use the whole bottle of oil when I first put the oil in, but the...
