    New Brakes

    Thank you for the replies, and I will probably be purchasing the kit from ebay asap. In your opinions, would you trust a pair of cobra or mach 1 used brake kits? With something as important as brakes why not spend the $700 for all new parts? I know there isnt a very big market for Mustang...

    New Brakes

    Hello, I am in need of some input about brakes: I need new brakes but I want to do it for as little money as possible because of a tight budget (im replacing tires also) but I also dont want to sacrafice reliability. I plan on doing the Mach 1 brake upgrade when I can save an extra $700 but in...

    high idle, please help

    well crap, i wish i had read that before i cleaned the throttle body.... i used throttle body cleaner that protects the teflon type coating so i hope i didnt screw something up. however, as i was cleaning the TB, i notice that the soft line connecting the passenger PCV to the intake had two...

    high idle, please help

    i have cleaned the throttle body once, about 10k miles ago. that seems to be a likely scenario because i also noticed when i clean the TB it seems like my PCV's allow oil to be sucked into the intake and dirty the inside of the plenum. ill try that this morning and post the results.

    high idle, please help

    ok, everything seems logical, and im going to try to find a guy to swap IAC's with to see if thats the problem too (like i said, starving college student) is there a more accurate way to test for vacuum leaks than looking for old tubing? everything is connected as it should be, but like i...

    high idle, please help

    no i have not altered anything except for adding the restriction plate, but when i removed it there was no change. where would be a likely vacuum leak? i have looked at every visible line and they all seem to be intact, but there is one branching off the rear of the plenum, looks to be about...

    high idle, please help

    yes i am reading his past posts on the subject and am narrowing down the possibilities. seems the likely culprit is a vacuum leak, but i just dont know where.

    high idle, please help

    2002 gt, 76k miles, mods listed in sig, my normal idle speed was around 780, but one day it changed to around 1000rpm. its been pretty constant between 1000-1100rpm for about a week now, but today it started to hang close to 1500rom until i slightly let the clutch out while in gear and it will...

    Other than gears...

    2800 rpm...wow.... and thats healthy for 2v's? physical tune, like put it on a dyno and fill it with sensors and hook it up to a computer and set the fuel map? hmm... what kinda gains are you expecting? and how would gears and cams effect fuel mileage? im getting around 25-26 mpg at 75 mph...

    Ya California, and you just supported my previous few claims as to why i dont think long tubes would be a good idea. as far as the tune, the dialblosport will not be sufficient?

    Other than gears...

    I will be doing any install except for gears, so paying $1000 for headers and cams to be installed doesnt need to be factored in. 50-60 wheel horse from headers and cams on a relatively stock motor? i wish i had something that would be that responsive to two mods lol. thanks for the tip...

    Other than gears...

    the diablosport tuner i have can adjust for different gear sizes and tire sizes so thats taken care of, and thanks for the advice about the TB/plenum. my parts all look good, little oil here and there, but no fluid leaks and just got a new battery, need CC plates to account for my sagging...

    Other than gears...

    great, thats good news haha. with my current mods i was able to run mid 13's at 4000ft elevation, and that was before my 285 BFG's, so with cams and gears maybe i can hit high 12's :rolleyes: thanks guys

    Installed Steeda UD Pulleys and Misfired?

    if the plugs dont work then, if you can, swap the pulleys back and see if that takes care of it, isolate the problem ya know? and when doing the plugs make sure you do some research on the torque specs and procedure...i did it wrong once and blew a plug out of my head :nonono:

    Other than gears...

    ya i already heard that TB/Plenum wouldnt be worth the $350-450 if im not going with a power adder, and im some what hesitant to do the headers do to smog reasons (im in Cali) and my exhaust is way loud already. would it be worth paying the cost of cams and springs? what hp am would i be...

    Other than gears...

    lets say $2000, minus 500 for stereo and ~450 for brakes, so maybe 1000-1500 dollars
