    4th Gear Question

    Yeah, I have the B&M ripper and when I first installed it, I put it in the most rearward position and it hopped out of 4th. I took it apart and switched the spacers around, now it's much quieter and engages all gears. I only had it like that for about 2 days. If this is the case, switch it...

    The drone, the drone,AAGGGHHH!

    Put 4.10s in it. You'll never cruise at 2,000 rpms in any gear.

    MPH custom tune dyno results>>>

    I'm thinking too hard again! I know that this dyno was just installed about 2 months ago. Does anyone know anything about how they work? Do they have a break in period? What if it's new and tight? Would a dyno that's had 1,000 runs on it spit out higher numbers??? What holds the drum in...

    everyone with the pi head swap!!!!

    Charles, sorry I semi-ripped off your thread. As everyone else said, car feels the same to 3,000 then takes off like a rocket. Do yourself a favor and put some steeper gears in after the swap. They'll get you in the sweet spot much sooner. I drove mine for 6 months on the stock tune with no...

    everyone with the pi head swap!!!!

    I used to race mountain bikes and I joked and told people that they had bad motors. Now, I got a good motor and I'm certain a bad driver. Or, at least, one that needs a lot of practice.

    everyone with the pi head swap!!!!

    4.10's are good to about 105MPH then you have to shift to 5th and it's like running into a wall of pillows. I don't go that fast too often, so the low-end acceleration is fun and worth it. SCT = :shrug: I installed it last Friday and the car runs much smoother and feels faster, then...

    everyone with the pi head swap!!!!

    Hey Canada, you got gears in that thing yet? Try downshifting to 3rd at 60MPH with 4.10's! It puts you about 4,500 RPMs. Now that's wheeee!!! :cheers:

    MRT o/r vs MAC o/r H

    I never heard a MRT, but I think the o/r Mac H-pipe is the nastiest, old-school, muscle-cariest mid-pipe on the market, but I'm biased. :p

    MPH custom tune dyno results>>>

    Yeah, they got the same story y'all got. I think you're right about the track. There's a clutch and two axles just waiting to explode for me. :D

    MPH custom tune dyno results>>>

    Actually the factory tune went way rich, like 11.8:1. The custom tune flattens out to 13.5:1. That's what confuses me. :(

    MPH custom tune dyno results>>>

    237RWHP and 273RWTQ :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: I got this car dyno'd after my headswap with the stock gears and it put down 249HP and 293TQ. Well, I got it dyno'd today with 4.10 gears and the MPH tune. I ran a baseline with the stock tune and I got the numbers above. I know the gears...

    How much power can a stock 4.6 bottom end handle?

    Well they're not forged and we've all seen those numbers you got there, but for how long? Just recently there were some folks on here talking about their 4.6 bottom ends breaking after running the 9# KB for a while. If you're going to add a power adder, spend the extra dough now and build the...

    Need help with my 96 cobra

    Wow, that's a lot of work. I don't see that you got it tuned? If you don't have a custom tune, you're lucky that bad boy even runs! Try putting the stock maf and injectors in and see if that fixes it. Also, Welcome to Stangnet.

    I changed drive belt, and then...

    I cranked mine till it stripped then I backed it off a 1/4 turn. Just kidding. Sometimes, when I take bolts off I put the torque wrench on and try to watch and see what torque it breaks loose at. I know this is not accurate, but it'll get you in the ballpark. The bolt on mine broke...

    I changed drive belt, and then...

    Coramprat was right. I just went to Advance Auto and got one for $14.94. When I shake the old one, you can hear it rattle inside. The new one is tight as a nun and it doesn't move at all when bolted into place. I could move the old one back and forth when it was bolted on. I feel much more...

    Car seems quieter after tune??? Am I crazy?

    Yes, I will. I'm going to a shop that has a Dynojet model 248. It's a ricer shop with a bunch of 21-year old kids working there. It's 1/2 hour away from my house. All others are like 3-4 hours away. I'll have to endure the pain. When I made the appointment, he asked me what kind of car I...

    Car seems quieter after tune??? Am I crazy?

    I'm thinking too hard. My car was rich in the higher RPMs. Like 11.5:1 from about 4800 to 6000 RPMs. If the engine wasn't burning all that fuel and shoving some unburnt gasoline out the exhaust valves, it would have a different tone??? NO??? Now that it should be leaned out to 13.0:1 across...

    Compression Raito?

    hahaha And I'm FOS! I don't have any real-world experience myself. I just read and search too much. The thing to remember is that all cars are different and all cars react differently to mods. A dyno-tune is really the only way to truly tune your car to it's potential. If my A/F doesn't...

    Car seems quieter after tune??? Am I crazy?

    C'mon. I don't want this to go away. Anyone with a chip or flasher or tuner think their exhaust is quieter after the adjustments or not??? I think I'm nuckin' futs.
