    Mobil 1 0w20 in a 2000 GT

    You might consider 0-30, although it is hard to find sometimes. If you go to the Mobil 1 web-site you will see that the 0-20 is not approved by ford for some reason, but the 0-30 is. When its all said and done, it probabaly wont make that much of a difference anyway. As a side note, I have been...

    11:1 pistons and Steeda adjuster

    Try knocking it back a couple degrees and see if that fixes it. If it does, you could advance it one degree and see if the car is ok like that. If its not, set back one degree and leave good enough alone untill you get the tune. If retarding it two degrees doesnt help, then you could try...

    Mach 1 How long until the last mach??

    If you can find a Mach, any color Mach you should buy it. They are getting really scarce.

    Not to hijiack this thread, but I was thinking of trading in for a Mach 1, what do you think a good price for a 5 spd. Mach 1 would be right now?

    Car maybe totaled, what to replace it with?

    What about an STI? I think those cars are pretty sweet. (In a non-mustang sort of way) Are you sure you dont want a Mach 1?

    Chassis is twisted???

    Dimensia :) I think it is an optical illusion. When ever I am sitting in my car it always looks to me to be tilted to one side (no, Im big, but not that big) When I get out and look at it the car it is always level.

    Daily driven stangs!!!!!

    Ive got 22,000 miles on my 2003 GT. Only thing I have had replaced is some weather striping that fell off, tires (that got burned off :) ) and the MAF. Car has been rock solid other than that. I actually drove from California to New York with the 4:10's and had zero problems. I averaged 24 MPG...

    I thought the track was supposed to hook harder than the street!

    I had the same experience when i took my GT to the track. I cut an outstanding 2.3 60', managed to spin through first, second, part of third. I eneded up with an awsome 15.1 at 96 MPH. I just drove home after that. Didnt want to wait in line for an hour again to see if I could do better. This...

    RPM dropped below 500 rpm while idling after oil change??

    Its because the car sat for a week without being started. I say that because my car did the exact same thing when it had sat for a week. Its probably some quirk with the returnless fuel system.

    whats the best off-road h-pipe?

    If you just want a standard H-pipe a lot of people on this site seem to use the MAC H-pipe. Another popular choice for a H-pipe is the MAC Pro-Chamber, although its not exactly an H-pipe, but its not an X-pipe either. Come to think of it, I dont know what the hell a Pro-Chamber is supposed to be...

    ford racing stainless shorty headers any good???

    WOW! I know who Tim is (I think everyone on these forums does by now) But, I had no idea he was running shorties on his car, I just kind of assumed he was running LT. That is terrific, I plant to build a forged blower motor and want to get in that 600rwhp range, but also want ot stay legal. Glad...

    ford racing stainless shorty headers any good???

    Here is a pretty good question then: Why would BBK go through the trouble of making shorties that werent legal. Obviously if your trying to choose between non leagal headers (long tube or shorties) you are going to go with long tubes. Especially if the cost and install is similar. I mean, is...

    ford racing stainless shorty headers any good???

    Longtubes would be great, if some of us didnt have to pass emmissions, but we do. :mad: There is note at the bottom of the jegs page about the headers being 50 state legal, but I cant tell if that note applies to everything on that page or nothing on that page (It says things with a (1) are what...

    American Thunder

    Ive got a Pro-Chamber with two Magnaflow cats on my car (also have 2 chamber flows) and it sounds pretty damn mean to me. Ive heard it from the outside and the inside and it sounds great. Pretty mellow at idle, but when you are cruising it has a great low tone. When you get on it its pretty loud...

    Now this is SWEET!

    I hope that car has a really strong bottom end and a good tune. Im just saying that because it says it has 11:1 compression and is running a 250 shot of nitrous.

    4.10's ...and I'm PIS**D Off!!!

    From what I have heard the reason for the price difference is that Ford as updated the gears with some changes to make them quieter and more durable. The cheaper gears are probably the older model.

    Flows w/ UPR O/R X Legality Questions

    A cop can certainly write you ticket for not having cats whether or not you passed emissions somewhere else. It is a federal offense to remove or tamper with the emission control system. In NY there have been a couple of people that I know about who have been caught without cats and they have...

    5.4

    I thought the "R" was more Like 80K, but the reason it cost so much was the quality of the parts. It had forged everything on the engine side, and after market everything on the suspension side. Putting a "normal" 5.4 into a mustang shouldnt cost Ford anymore than putting a 4.6 into a mustang...

    A few questions about some general stuff.

    I thought about putting this in talk, but after seeing the kinda stuff thats over there I thought it might be better placed in Tech. The first question is an actual Tech. question. Will it be possible to put the 5 Speed auto from the 05 stang into an older car (SN 95, New Edge)? Secondly, I was...
