    K&N Affecting MAF

    Oil on the MAF wire insulates it from the incoming airflow. When this happens the computer need less voltage to keep it hot, which the computer interprets as less air entering the engine. As a resut it doesn't add enough fuel and the engine runs lean.

    Injector advise for stock replacement speed density requested.

    Stock 1992 steel core ford valve cover gaskets. You can reuse them like a dozen times. I'm not sure if for still carrys them or if they are obsolete.

    Injector advise for stock replacement speed density requested.

    The oil fill cap is in a slightly different position on most of the Ford racing EFI valve covers. It is closer to the rear of the engine, by maybe 3/4 inch. There are dozens of valve covers and they are all a littl different. DO NOT get the tall valve covers unless you are looking for a major...

    Will I be able to get a proper alignment with stock CC Plates and H&R SuperSports?

    Every car is a little different. It also depends on your driving style. Dropping the car will give you more negative camber. If you corner agressively you will want more negative-camber anyway. If you mostly just cruise then you will need less negative-camber to prevent the inner edges of...

    Diablo Predator vs

    The timing adjuster changes the timing by mechanically moving the crank trigger pickup that the computer uses to determine engine position and calculate timing. The tuners adjust the timing electronically inside the computer. You can use the two of them together if you know what you are...

    lowering springs

    Any spring will "work" with the stock struts and shocks, but the stiffer the spring the less the stock strut/shock will be able to damp it properly. The ride quality and handling won't be as good if the shock can't dampen the spring enough. There is no magic point where it suddenly stops...

    Intake swap question

    Yeah, what they said. You can do it without pulling the distributor, but it is a lot harder, especially trying to het the new intake on striaght without causing a leak. Mark the distributor an pull it out, it will be easier.

    trans swap question/ general MT question

    There is a switch on the brake pedal that tells the transmission you are stepping on the brake. Yoiu just have to look under there and find it. There will be on switch for the brake light. There may be another switch for the transmission or the transmission may share the signal from the brake...

    lower control arm question

    Tube or box is not nearly as important as the bushing design. What is the best bushing depends on tha application. A For good handling you need something that can articulate (twist, for body roll) without binding up, that is why the control arms with 3-pice bushings are good (Steeda, Maximum).

    still have a vibration

    Is it just when you are releasing the clutch, or is it when you are driving down the road? Vehicle speed related or engine speed (rpm) related? In neutral or in gear? Clutch in or clutch out?

    Injector advise for stock replacement speed density requested.

    You have to tske the upper intake off, so the STB will probably have to come off to give you the room to do that. You might be able to work around it depending on the shape of the MM brace, but it is probably more trouble than it is worth. Once the upper intake is off, changing the valve...

    Shifter Knob Keeps Coming Loose!?!? HELP!

    They unscrew. Counterclockwise to take it off, clockwise to tighten it. If it is a little loose, put some muscle in it and tighten it one more rotation.
