    GT Rookie, if u know Help!

    dont forget-its not completely necessary to buy a entire cold air kit to have a k&n filter. if thats all you want-simply go to oreilleys or autozone and get a drop in replacement k&n for the factory setup.

    Low pitched "chirp" type noise when cruising in 5th gear.......Any ideas???

    i get the same thing-only when cruising at high speeds, and i noticed it was worse going into headwind. sounds like its coming from the dash, i thought it might be the hood or scoop. what did you do to fix it?

    How durable are these 4.6l engines?

    i had 2 previous cars to my 2002 gt, a 95 5.0 that had 150k miles when i sold it (didnt leak or use a drop of oil) and my 98 gt that also didnt leak or use a single drop of oil. I had intake problems on that car, but that was it. as far as the internals go, they are as strong as they need to be...

    how do i bleed the brakes

    front you can press in-dont have to bleed the brakes. rear calipers need a special tool that twists(or screws) the piston back in. either way i dont see you needing a brake bleed, probably a new caliper.

    Comp Cam installs XE270

    $850 for a gear install??? Summit sells the Ford racing aluminum DS for $174-they gotta pull the DS anyways-so no added labor there. $675 for gears sounds like waaaay too much to me. I paid $425 gears and install.

    Dyno numbers in! - SCT = thumbs up!

    271rwhp on a mustang dyno=about 350fwhp, or about 300rwhp on a dynojet. wow! most stock cars make around what 225 at the wheels on a dyno jet? so 75rwhp(86.25fwhp) from just a tune, pulleys,lts and exhaust? dayumm-thats a 33% increase over stock for cheap!

    2005 GT vs 2004 Mach 1

    Ummm....they DID sell the '00 Cobra R's to individuals. Infact- i watched one pull out of Fox and Hound here in Houston a couple months ago. It was the REAL DEAL. Also-theres no mistaking that very disctinct sound of the 5.4 coming out the side exit exhaust.

    Newbie owner from accross the pond

    hell-i always run 89 in my cars(with stock timing settings). i get better gas milage with 89 than 93. the lower octane fuels will burn better/more efficiently.

    DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 99-04 Mustang Gts

    umm-they are still putting windsor engines in the cars after 2000. Mine is a 2002-and the 8th character in the vin is (x). According to ford racing, if the 8th character is (x) then its a windsor built with 8 bolt flywheel. If the 8th character in the vin is (W) then its a Romeo built engine...

Replaced it with the updated version with the aluminum on...
