    Cams on a 2000 GT

    In my opinion, you probably want to take a look at the timing components also. When the front cover was pulled off my 2000 the guides were completely shot. Could have been a mess if it went undiscovered. Cams, spacers, bolts, sprockets, springs (with higher lift cams) and possibly lifters if you...

    Throttle cable

    I've replaced mine - pretty simple. Two bolts at the firewall - use a flatblade screwdriver to pop the retainer out of the pedal. It really shouldn't take more than 20 minutes. Hopefully a local Ford dealer has one in stock - like $30.00 if I remember right. Jay

    Injectors

    If they could even keep up, you'd be taxing 19#er's at 400 horsepower at the flywheel and no way would they keep up at 400 RWHP. Injectors aren't a "performance" mod in the sense that they will give you anything other than the ability to consistently supply a specific amount of fuel based on the...

    Should I be worried?

    I had a couple issues with my diff leaking as well. It can be a pain in the ass. The most important thing to remember is to torque the bolts correctly. If you over or under torque them it will most likely leak. I used RTV rather than a gasket with my Mac cover, torqued the bolts in a crossing...

    Drilled/Cross Drilled Rotors...

    Same here - with '03 Cobra wheels. I'll see if I can find a pic. Jay

    what kind of drive shaft loop

    I have the UPR. It's a nice piece. We spot welded the bracket in several places (careful of catching the carpet on fire). Seems easier and cleaner than bolting it in. Jay

    Vert Owners!

    Raggtopp is what is recommended, but soap and water works fine. I usually just use soapy water and a scrub brush, then finish with a protectant that has UV protection. Guess I'll find out how is works since my car has been sitting outside for 6 weeks waiting for a forged shortblock to get...

    How much would it cost to do heads / cam?

    Cams: $525 Springs: $200 Gaskets (Front Cover, Upper/lower Intake, Head, Header, Valve Cover): $150-$200 Heads (mine were Patriot w/no core): $1295 Head bolts: $50 (headbolts.com I believe) Labor: $800 - $1000 depending on shop. If it's a Windsor (99/00) motor you'll also need cam...

    Phone Number To DiabloSport

    modularfords.com has a forum specifically for Diablo Tech. Several of the salespeople/managers have telephone numbers and contact information in their profile. I IM'ed Nick about an issue I had and he was nice enough to help me out immediately. Jay

    Burning oil...

    There could be a few causes I know of: 1. PCV valve sticking - cheapest possibility. $3.00 to replace. 2. Bad piston rings - have a compression check done. 3. Valvetrain - valve seals, guides, etc - rebuild heads. Off the top of my head, those are the main causes I can think of. Jay

    Cam Tool...

    2001+ use removable/bolt on cam sprockets and spacers. 99/00 use press on sprockets. so, yes you could use it on an '03. However, it doesn't "lock" the cam gear in place - you still need to apply downward pressure on it while the cam is out of the car, but that's better than tearing the front of...

    To PMS or not

    Bro, if I had a good tuner within 60 miles of me I'd PUSH my car if I had to.... anyway, it sounds like the Diablo dealer you're looking at working with has the new revolution software, which they can make changes to on the spot. If that's the case, and they're good with it, cool! Jay

    To PMS or not

    Based on the investment it looks like you've made so far, I don't know if I'd mess with mail order on a blown GT. For a few hundred bucks you can get it dialed in - maybe drive up to T & J? Probably a haul, but I think I'd want to put that kind of investment in the hands of a professional...

    Q's about heads?

    I have the Patriot Stage II's - I'll simply tell you my story, but I recommend giving Terry a call or e-mailing him with any questions. He's a stand-up guy. [email protected] I had the heads installed and noticed an oil consumption issue (about a quart in 300 miles). I took it...

    Car in shop after headswap

    I know I had consumption issues after installing P & P heads/cams. In my case it was the valve guides. Either that or you may have a serious ring issue in #4 that was burning oil, also. This is all speculation, but I've learned recently that guides, valve seals and rings will all obviously lead...

    4.10 gears are too steep for a Mustang GT!

    My .02 - most cams make additional power from around 3,000 RPM + (just search for cams and dyno charts). How do you get into the powerband faster? Gears... I think if you're staying N/A 4.10's, or even 4.30's, are a great choice, especially with cams. I know my cams/heads come on around 3K...

    autometer A/F gauges show your pix

    Pretty easy to install - if you need the ECU pinout let me know, I can e-mail it to you. Tells you which wires do what. An A/F gauge is basically a light show, though. Reads O2 output - will jump back and forth at idle and part throttle. With a few dyno pulls with it installed after making...

    Replace Timing Chain with Headswap, Necessary?

    It's not absolutely necessary to replace the chains, but in my case with 40K on my '00 I needed new tensioner arms, so we replaced the tensioners, arms and chains. Yes, you should replace the pulley bolt - it is TTY. That means it stretches slightly when it's torqued to the proper spec, and...
