    Anything I can do about the chips in my paint?

    My hood is just about completely covered in rock chips from more than seven years and 126,000 miles of daily driving. Short of getting a new paint job (which admittedly, I need anyways), is there anything I can do to make it not look quite so bad?

    Has anyone ever painted a chin spoiler??

    I'd buy a new one. I've seen people paint them, and it's a bad idea.

    D-1SC installed!

    We're just trying to make sure people get good advice, and not retuning when you're dealing with a FI car is just a bad idea. He may only have 6 posts here, but he's got more than 1,200 on ls1tech. As for him having a WS6, what does that matter? It's a fuel-injected V8. They all work on the...

    Help me decide on what year mustang I want

    If you get a 99-04, I'd specifically try to find a 2003-2004 model. They have deeper spark plug threads, and if you have a supercharger, you'll be glad you have those.

    Changing cams changes the amount of air that enters the cylinder, and therefore changes the A/F mixture. You absolutely would need to update your tune, especially in a supercharged application like mine.

    No power after 5k?

    What johnnyt03gt said. A centrifugal supercharger would do the trick very nicely, as well. :nice:

    Is this a decent K member? QA1 Tubular W/Spring Perches by Steeda

    I want it. I'd like to know how it compares to others. MM's kit is more expensive and heavier, but they say it's much more durable. I like that I can buy the Steeda in pieces if I want, too. Spread out the cost a little, stick with stock springs and struts for now, maybe.

    Need help adjusting cooling fan on/off temps on SCT Xcal 2

    Yes.

    Which Tires???

    Nitto NT05's in the front. Nitto NT05R's in the rear. You can also do the 555 and 555Rs (which I currently have), but if you're only putting 2K/year on them, get the NT05's.

    We took 2 degrees of timing out above 4,000 RPM and lowered the rev limiter to 6,050. She should be pretty safe now.

    Need help adjusting cooling fan on/off temps on SCT Xcal 2

    When you go to the tune menu, you can scroll through the various tunes (up to three with an Xcal 2). You probably just have the one tune on there. Select it, then it'll ask you if you want to modify the optional parameters. Fans are under that option. Just don't mess with the timing and...

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    wmburns, as always, you seem to really know your stuff, and you were dead on with this one. My new O2s came in last night, so I threw the car up on ramps and swapped them out. Without resetting the computer, I fired her up and drove her around for a few minutes, then checked the codes. P0155...

    Which driveshaft needed for T56 into 99-04 GT?

    I have the D&D one. It's aluminum. Seems to work just fine. Not sure how much power it will put up with, but it took all the punishment I could give it while I was N/A and on slicks. Haven't made any passes with the blower yet.

    D-1SC installed!

    Yeah, when I shift the fuel pressure drops while I'm off the throttle, then it doesn't quite get back high enough before I'm on the gas again. I sometimes get a little hiccup before the pressure returns. It's very brief, but it's annoying. I'm heading back up to see the tuner tomorrow. I'll...

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    As always, thank you for your help. The new O2s are on the way. God willing they do the trick. As for the melted connector, I have replaced it with a new one. The suspect wire on the O2 extension has been cut out and replaced with a new one (the old one was just bare copper). Only about 1/4"...

    BBK long tube headers install

    Definitely try attaching the header side first with the plenum side loose. That always worked for me. If you're getting a new tune now, I'd go ahead and get rid of the EGR system. I trashed mine and I'm not missing it a bit. Like you said, just cut the nut off the EGR tube and use a penny to...

    D-1SC installed!

    I've never bought into the whole blower cams thing. My understanding is that a car that makes more power N/A will make more power with forced induction. My friend has a D-1SC on his TransAm, and he had the same experience. Everyone said he got unusually good numbers for the amount of boost...

    02 GT throwing several codes, #8 fuse

    Resurrecting this, 5 years later... So, I thought I had fixed this issue by replacing part of a wire on my O2 extenders for my long tube headers. Got her on the dyno earlier this week for my D-1SC tune, and the tuner confirmed that the O2s were indeed working. I now have a closed loop tune...

    Tri-Ax getting sloppy

    Most shifters loosen up over time. Both of my Tri-Axes did. MGW does not. I beat the crap out of mine and it's still rock-solid.

    D-1SC installed!

    Yeah, they're a 3-year-old VT grind. 108.5 LSA with .562/.576 lift and 225/235 duration. I see no reason to get blower cams.
