    does this answer your question?

    Think its worth 2 tenths??

    In my experience that tripped CEL doesn't affect anything except your mental health. I'd get the MIL eliminators, that way, in the event that you throw a code for something more important (esp a lean code or something else) you'll know about it, instead of just getting used to seeing the light on.

    Think its worth 2 tenths??

    '98s still had the 6-cat H-Pipe. A switch to an off-road H might be worth 2 tenths. When I switched from a 2-cat H back to the factory H when I was selling my car I couldn't believe how much pull I lost from 3-5k. Your car is MAF but at WOT you are in open loop, not closed loop. The MIL...

    Headswap break in time and some ?'s

    as previously mentioned the MIL could be a vacuum leak. run the codes and see what you get. when i headswapped we kept getting P0171 and P0174 which is banks 1 and 2 lean. we tried everything, from PCV valves to fuel filters trying to figure out why it was lean. we werent sure whether it was...

    96-98 2V 4.6's

    i daily drove my '98 gt for 4 years and loved almost every minute of it (except in rush hour traffic.) all stock save for a mac catted h-pipe and a k&n i went a best of 14.51@96mph on the stock 2.73s. i added steeda t/a and got the e/t down to 14.45 at well over 3000ft da in hot and humid june...

    1996 GT vs 2001GT

    you don't need to, SN95+ automatics have gates for 1st, 2nd, and you can hit 3rd by putting it in D with OD off. I ran 14.5s at 96 all day long with just a K&N and a catted h-pipe, but I've got a 5spd. I also beat plenty of 99+ GTs at the track, but it was because their drivers weren't up to...

    real electric supercharger?

    it takes too much electric draw to produce a pound or two of boost. if you add in another alternator then you're reworking the serpentine system, or adding another belt, just like a traditional supercharger does. so essentially it comes down to the addage that you get what you pay for. i'm...

    3.55 or 3.73

    if you swap the gearset you'll need to recalibrate, no matter what. also, i wouldn't put in used gears, they'll most likely be noisier, and you can get new frpp gears extremely cheap from gef. truthfully i'd go with 3.73s bare minimum. 4.10s are where its at, though you operate in a lower...

    What it takes to beat a 98T/A in a GT?

    There's no doubt that only the best drivers at good tracks get the awesome numbers (high 12s) out of stock LS1s, but the fact still remains that they vastly overpower stock GTs. Stock GTs dyno 220-230rwhp, while stock LS1s are dynoing 290-300rwhp. Even if the driver of the LS1 isn't the most...

    Went to the track for first time, man do I suck

    work on your launch. try lowering your tire pressure to around 25psi. also, try lowering your shift points. i trap significantly higher by shifting around 5400-5500rpms, then when shifting near redline. as everyone else suggested, keep practicing. -derek

    Headswappers please respond!

    cams can actually bleed off cylinder pressure. i would match my cam selection to the port job on the heads and desired driveability. if you've got a mild port job and a stock intake, and you'e looking to drive the car daily i'd avoid a really aggressive cam.

    Headswappers please respond!

    1.) No, my heads are box stock as delivered from Ford. 2.) No, I'm running stock PI cams. I'm very happy with the results of the headswap. If I could do it all again I would probably do it just as I've done it. I've thought about getting the heads ported and polished, but I didn't really...

    6spd vs 5spd

    For one, the T-56 is a heavier duty transmission, with tougher internals, so most likely you'll lose power to the wheels by converting to one. Secondly, six speeds have two overdrives, 6th being an ultra-low overdrive. With a low overdrive you can run steeper gears in the rear end but still...

    Quick!

    because you'll pop that motor in a heartbeat. buy an EG hatch, drop a b18b in it, and THEN turbo it. those motors will take more boost than an EX accord motor (plus none of that vtec crap). or you can buy a sentra se-r with a sr20de and boost that. those motors are stout.

    top speed 4th gear

    My 4th is done at about 110-112 running it out the back door to redline.

    T-45.... T-50 ????

    i've never heard of a t-50. the t-5 replaced the srod 4 speed in 83( i believe) and carried over until 96 when the t-45 was used. in 98 the borg-warner t-45 was replaced with the tremec t-45 (mid year). i believe it was '01 when they switched from the t-45 to the 3650. the 3550 is an...

    New Track times

    you're peaking at 5500rpms? damn, that must be one hell of a port job. i'd shift at redline if you're peaking there. alot of it will be you playing with different shift points. start and redline, and lower it slightly from run to run, and see what works the best for both e/t and traps...
