    Spark Plug Recommendations

    I am looking for a good spark plug recommendation for a mostly stock 96 GT. The car has Bosch Platinum 2's and I have heard that these cars have a tendency to misfire with platinum's. What do you guys normally run?

    Good ET?

    Well the conditions for the run weren't ideal. It was about low 80s and humid. The car is a 5-speed with about 170k miles on it. I had just changed the oil that day, but I definitely agree that its time for a spark plug change. I picked the car up about 27,000 miles ago and I haven't changed...

    High Mileage and Synthetic Blend

    Changed my oil today on my 96 GT with about 170k miles on it. And the local autoparts store had a sale on high mileage valvoline synthetic blend. The car has never seen synthetic as long as I have had it. After changing the oil, if the car idles for a while or starts up cold I get some oil...

    Good ET?

    Just got back from the track for the first time in my 96 GT. The car has very little mods (3.73 gears, bbk intake, ford racing shortys) and is running on 4 Nitto NT555s. Was wondering if this was a good ET for this car. I am somewhat disappointed by not being sub-15s but its a point to work...

    Intake on a 2000/ Will it crack too?

    When the plastic manifolds crack what is the main symptom of the issue? Does it leak coolant or is there a hissing noise, like an air leak in the manifold? My 96 GT hisses like a damn snake. I've ruled out all the vacuum lines, exhaust leaks, and a cracked intake is the only thing I can come...

    PI Intake Swap WITHOUT Aluminum Crossover

    Thanks for the advice about using a PI intake with an aluminum crossover. I understand that this is a better option, however, at this time the only option I have to use the one with the composite manifold. There is a crack in my original manifold and am limited on funds in trying to get one...

    PI Intake Swap WITHOUT Aluminum Crossover

    I have a 96 GT that I'm preparing to swap a PI Intake from a 2000 GT onto. I see a lot of threads and information that says to drill the aluminum crossover for the second coolant temperature sensor. Since there is no aluminum crossover, where is the optimum/easiest place to drill and tap for...

    1996 GT Exhaut Manifold Leaks.

    My '96 GT currently has an exhaust manifold leak. It did not pass inspection because of this and am looking to change the exhaust manifold gaskets. Is there any way of getting the headers off without removing the engine from the car? I cannot see anyway to get to them and get them off without...

    Vacuum Leak? Sucking Noise. 96 GT

    To this i could not tell you. The kit was already installed on the car when I bought it. I have taken it off and reinstalled it myself without any change in the noise.

    Vacuum Leak? Sucking Noise. 96 GT

    I have a 96 GT, pretty much stock. The only power plant modification that has been done is had a BBK Cold Air Kit installed. Currently when the car is running there is a very loud hissing noise coming from the engine. I have checked the PCV valve hose which runs to the intake, the vacuum...

    Speedometer Calibration

    I recently purchased a 96 GT and the previous owner had installed aftermarket gauge faces. However, he never calibrated the speedometer. How do you go about re-calibrating the speedometer? Any help would be appreciated.

    Which Upper and Lower Intake?

    well eventually i'd like to change cam/lifters and heads, but like many others, building up the cash to pay for them is the problem. Cam/lifters will come a lot sooner than heads, if i save up enough b/w now and the time i plan to get the intake ill probably buy a cam set at the same time.

    Bolt ons on a budget

    if i replace the stock upper and lower intake with cobra/gt40 upper and lower intake would it be in good practice to put a larger throttle body on as well? I also have another question, is 65mm stock throttle body size or is it smaller?

    Bolt ons on a budget

    I have a 91 GT convertible and I'm looking to add some horsepower to it. This is my daily driver that i drive to and from work and to and from school, so it can't be out of commission for very long. I need to find some bolt on parts that wont take but a weekend to install and wont break the...
