    99-04 LT Header Installation

    My warranty is long gone since the car is a 2002. I was just saying that I've done it multiple times and ways and dropping the K member is the best way to do it.. I've found that dealers vary wildly and your best bet is to ask. I had a dealer void the warranty on my axle seals because I...

    99-04 LT Header Installation

    I've had my headers on/off at least 4 times now.. Dropping the K member is the ONLY way I would recommend doing it.. It's just so much easier with the K off since you then have a straight shot to almost all of the bolts. This will also let you install them properly by torquing them to 20 - 24...

    VT Competition Engine Development is OUT OF BUSINESS

    While trying to get my engine fixed (which has been broken for a YEAR). I was notified today by Scott Brown that VT Competition Engine Development is now out of business and will not be fixing my motor or building any new motors. Please do not order anything from them as you will probably not...

    Quick harness question

    On the main engine harness (the one with all the injector, COP, etc. wiring) there is also one of the front O2 sensor plugs. Can anyone tell me if it's for the driver's side or the passenger's side O2 sensor? Thanks!! Riley

    clutch recommendations

    Call up Walt at Promotion Powertrain... Very good guy and he set me up with my McLeod unit.. He said the clutch/PP is good for ~550 - 600hp and I'm still able to slip the clutch enough that I can start moving without giving it any gas.. Pedal effort is a bit heavier than stock. Riley

    29* of timing @3k rpms

    Yes, this is normal. Timing is based off of load. As you load up the car timing will decrease. If you rev the car while parked there is no load on the car and the timing can be advanced quite a bit. Riley

    Weird question on insurance

    I'm with state farm and my insurance covers my car up to $25,000. I would assume that they just pay you up to that amount as long as you can prove you have those parts on your car.. I don't see how adding parts to my car would raise my rate since I have $25,000 and if I go over that then it's...

    pulling the 5.4 3v for gas milage

    That's why I have a focus ZX5 as my DD. I drive roughly 3 - 4k a month and average about 27 - 32mpg. I can get ~320 - 360 miles per tank and it's a 13 gallon tank. I also garage my mustang in the winter so I save on insurance too, but I don't think that applies here.. You can cut your fuel...

    HD Radio

    Anyone used it/listened to it yet? I really like the idea, but I think it's being poorly adopted and implemented by the aftermarket. Each company seems to want their HD product to be one of those "add-on" boxes that plug into their "HD Ready" head unit. There are also products that "add...

    how are these Pro-motion performance transmissions????

    The only negative thing I can find is that the 3650 and T-45 have integrated bellhousings so you can't run a SFI spec unit. I've heard that you can run a transmission blanket though.. I'm debating getting my 3650 beefed up or doing the TKO600 swap.. With the TKO you at least KNOW that it will...

    Are MSD Coil Overs worth the money?

    I really wanna see those results. I think I may have a weak stock coil pack and if the weaponx units are worth it then I'll get those. Especially since I'm going with a 2.6H KB in a couple months.. Riley

    how are these Pro-motion performance transmissions????

    I bought a clutch from Walt and it's great!! Walt kept telling me that he recommended the 26 spline input shaft for over 400HP.. In fact I ordered the 10 spline clutch disc and he sent me the 26 instead.. :rlaugh: Riley

    Maybe when the tensioner gave out the belt smacked against something and unplugged/unhooked it.. Riley

    Holding the engine up

    I got a piece of 4x8 board the size of the bottom of the oil pan and used a jackstand. Don't use the jackstand directly on the bottom of the pan though as you WILL bend it and/or punch a hole in it.. I've left it that way for a good 2 months and there are no signs of bending on the pan. Riley
