    Compression Raito?

    I'd say 13.0:1 for N/A and about 11.5:1 for power adder. Just a guess. If you ARE running lean, you could add bigger injectors or a fuel pressure regulator, but those are physical things and guesses at best. A custom tune is the best and safest way to do it. :shrug: EDIT: I had my car...

    Compression Raito?

    I'll do my best. It's the ratio at which the charge of gasoline and air is compressed in the combustion chamber (the area where your piston is at TDC and your valves are closed). Laying on your garage floor that little big of gas and air is at a 1:1 ratio, but inside your engine the charge is...

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

    Original X. It took 2 minutes to flash. No chip to mess with. :nice: I'm getting it dyno'd next Friday. I'll flash the stock tune and then the custom and get a back to back comparison. I'll report back then.

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

    Just what it says. I got an SCT x-calibrator and installed last night. I put about 50 miles on the car now and it seems hella quiet. I have stock manifolds, o/r mac h-pipe and mac catback. I guess it's just not backfiring anymore and I think it's more quiet, but when I accelerate throught...

    How are you getting to 110 in the 1/4 mile with your mods?

    how much h/p

    No, guessing is more fun. I just got a tune and I'm gonna get it dyno'd soon to check the A/F and see how much more HP I make. It's tricky, though because I got 4.10 gears since I got it dyno'd the first time. So, I'm gonna flash my computer back to the stock tune and do the first run...

    how much h/p

    Guessing HP is my favorite! YEEESSS! Before I scrolled down, I was gonna put 350. However, if Gearbanger responds, he will tell you what I'm thinking. Here goes: "You'll get 350HP at the wheels and a broken bottom end before the summer's out." :rlaugh:

    What do these engine codes mean?

    A custom tune would be cheaper than fixing it and you can have them shut it off!

    Going to install my Mac H pipe in a little bit. What is the small metal piece? HELP!

    Cut it up in little slivers and put them in the driveway of the first neighbor that bitches about the noise.

    Handheld Tuners

    If you get a custom tune on the SCT X-calibrator flasher, you can re-flash your stock tune if need be. I've heard that the Ford garage can tell if you have flashed and re-flashed the stocker though. Maybe someone can confirm this. :shrug:

    StangNET Dyno

    "awaiting install: MAC DuraBlack Flowpath Catback" Hiltonizer, are you getting a deal on this Durablack catback? I have the Mac catback and it's rusting where the tips bolt-on above the axle. A friend of mine had the same problem and he took them back where he bought it and they gave him a...

    Oil Change Interval Question???

    Yes, many short hard trips!!! Rjstaff, dude, that is way too technical than I wish to get. I use Mobile One 5W30, but only because the girl that works at Advance Auto is hawt and I think it makes me look cool :cool: when I spend $6 a quart on oil. The stuff is still a light brown to almost...

    Oil Change Interval Question???

    I couldn't find this exact oil subject. I only drive my car about 5,000 - 6,000 miles a year. If I change my oil at 3,000 miles, it gets changed every 6 months. It feels like I'm depriving the engine for some reason. :rlaugh: Anyway, is there a time limit for oil. Should I change it...

    Remove slack from accelerator pedal mod. Anyone do it?

    Yeah. I used 3/4". I think 1" would be too much. Now my brakes feel mushy.

    Hmmmmm?

    Yeah, my first thought was a fuel filter. I had a 95 s-10 truck that I ran the piss out of and never did anything to it. It started to buck and cut-out and stall at 80,000 miles :rolleyes: so I changed the fuel filter. It ran better than it did the day I bought it with 15,000 or at least it...

    I Finally Hit The Dyno Today...

    Nope! I signed on yesterday morning and MD site was down so I figured that was a sign to order from MPH. I got the SCT X-calibrator flasher with one aggressive tune. I have a trip planned to Lancaster, PA in July and I might stop by Kauffmans Motorsports to have it tweaked.

    Yeah, I haven't spent any money in a few months. The mod bugs bite hard in the spring. :shrug:

    Modular Depot or Modular Powerhouse

    Talked to Tim at MPH today and placed my order. Waiting for HP is my favorite pastime. :D There is a ricer shop real close to my house that has a Dynojet dyno. They do tuning on Hondas and Nissans and "specialize" in engine swaps. However, they charge $65 for three pulls or $100 an hour...
