    Difference between 96-98 & 99+ midpipes

    My '99 stock midpipe had 4 cats, the 98's have 6. Note I have seen pictures online of '99 models with 6 cats (they may be California cars though). I think the factory midpipe was changed on the newer models also 03/04? Ike

    Good Clutch?

    I have a King Cobra in mine (I bought it because the price was right at a Fun Ford Weekend swapmeet), I had a local transmission shop install it, they charged $175 for labor plus $35 for resurfacing the flywheel. I called around for pricequotes before having it installed, and was given quotes...

    Prochamber Install fro Hell...Need Help ASAP Please

    I agree with everyone else, its just a matter of the right combinations of extensions. Some people have reported problems with using a sockets that are too deep.

    Question - Loosen your Belt Tensioner?

    Ford aparently changed the tensioner design on the GT's at some point, I don't know about the Cobra's. IN the case of my '99 GT there is a small cover plate that must be removed to get to the 1/2 inch socket that a wrench goes in. I have seen 00+ models that don't have this plate, I don't know...

    OBD-II Dyno Software?

    I tried using the dyno feature on two runs tonight, I must be doing something wrong though as the runs themselves were very consistant, but the numbers are insanely low. Peak HP was under 100. p.s. I will try to find time to play with it a bit more this weekend

    Patriot Heads

    I can't say much on the subject other than I was at the Dallas Mustang open house back in the fall and there was a guy from Patriot Performance there with a demo set of their heads. The guy they had there was a Chevy guy and did not know much about the technical aspects of the heads, but I did...

    Timing Variation

    The Steeda timimg adjuster only adjusts the base timing, stock base is 10 degrees. What it does is trick the computer and therefore the OBDII readout, if you have your timing adjuster set at 14 degrees, then the timing that is really happening is 4 degrees more than whatever your OBDII readout...

    OBD-II Dyno Software?

    There are several out there, www.digimoto.com http://www.auterraweb.com/ http://www.autotap.com/autotap_for_windows.html and several others. It seems that most of the data needed to calculate horespower should be available through the OBDII interface, just add in the weight of the vehicle and...

    OBD-II Dyno Software?

    Has anyone tried any of the OBDII scanners/computer interfaces that offer dyno RWHP estimates? How good are they compared to a chasis dyno, etc.? Thanks Ike

    Warranty Coverage on a Used 03 GT

    Dealers can refuse to do warranty work if they are within a certain number of miles of the dealer that originally sold the car, I think it is 50 miles. This is to adress the problem of "discount dealers" that only want to sell cars and not service them. Ike

    What grade oil was used before 5-20?

    Yes, Ford recomended 5W30 prior to 5W20, given no engineering changes were made to the engine and Ford did not send out any type of TSB about this for earlier cars many people think this was done as a CAFE measure strictly as a method of slightly bumping up fuel economy by a fraction of a MPG.

    HELP Car would not rev over 3000RPM

    I just made it home from a weekend road trip, for at least the last 35 miles of the trip my car would not rev over 3,000 RPMs even in neutral. Everything would seem fine at idle or cruising at highway speed, but anytime I would get near WOT the car would rev to 3000-3,5000 RPMS and hang there...

    Is Kar Kraft stuff alright?

    I have ordered assorted small parts from them before, always with good luck, although shipping may be a bit slow (on average 3-4 days later then I would expect for same day shipping). I have no idea about something as expensive as an engine though. On a side noteI did read an interesting...
