    check engine light on after x-pipe install....

    My car has the same issue, after the off road H pipe and Flowmaster cat back I installed. I am going to try new o2 sensors and reset the computer(battery) today. I will probably also have the codes pulled at Autozone. Anybody want to help? I did not have this issue before the exhaust.

    Performance problems

    Todat I installed a new ignition module, coil, and reset the timing to 14*. The car runs like a champ! I also installed a water temperature guage, cause the stock one doesn't work anymore. It stays steady at right above 180*. My only problem right now is to try to adjust the H pipe from...

    Performance problems

    I recently installed my off road Mac H-pipe, and had a shop weld the middle together after I installed it. The first problem is I don't think the pipes were pushed together enough cause the driver side sometimes rubs against part of the undercarriage and is somewhat annoying. My check engine...

    what size torx bit to remove seat belts?

    Buy the Craftsmen and add it to your collection, you will have it and probably not have to worry about that piece ever again. Worth the extra 2 bucks. Get the whole set, worth it. I love my tools! Tools are an excellent investment, compared to any car in the long run. The Craftsmen tools...

    Off road Mac H pipe?

    I am glad to know that the Mac has the smog pump pipe provision. Now which way should I go today? Rig my hacksawed tube together or tell me what I need to remove it all?

    Off road Mac H pipe?

    The off road pipe I had for my 5.0 did not fit, it was my fault. I am picking up a Mac off road H pipe today. Does it have the opening for the smog pump tube or not? If so, I had to hacksaw my tube to get the stock piece off. I guess I could rig the tube together for now when I install the...

    engine misses at WOT

    Don't know for sure. But maybe the fuel filter or TFI module located on the side of the distributor. I have a similar problem with mine and somebody posted about the TFI module. I have not tried to replace it yet though. I did a tune up and replaced my fuel filter though.

    best oil?

    Oil seems to be very subjective to personal tastes. I always used mobil 1 in my 2000 gt, and have no complaints. My new f-150 calls for motorcraft synthetic blend and thats what I use. I also just put it in my 5.0. The price is right and I think it is the way to go with my 5.0. You won't go...

    5.0 falls flat at 4k rpm ?

    Lately my 5.0 has been cutting out at around 4k rpm, like there is a dead spot and then picks back up. It only falls flat on its face like this when the car has been running for awhile. It just recently started doing this. I have already put in plugs, wires, cap & rotor, k&n, fuel filter, pcv...

    Leaky window problem

    It's usually not the window area leaking, cause they go up into the frame. The culprit is either the weatherstriping or your door is misaligned. The door thing sounds far fetched but that is the problem I had. I had to raise the door hinges on the body to fix the leak. Somebody at one time...

    3.55's ? 2001 Bullit

    Not much performance, not much gas mileage change......waste of money talking about 3.55's. If your going to spend your money on gears, don't waste it. 410's for NA. Biggest seat of the pants bang for the buck.

    what kinda engines are in normal cop cars.

    The crown vics are not fast at all. I ran one with a 2001 Impala police car 3.8 six cylinder and beat it. I think the 3.8 has 200 hp. I probably won cause of the weight advantage. I pulled approximately one car length from a rolling start and he could never pull on me up to about 100 mph...

    DO I HAVE GEARS? (anyone running 3.73's help me)

    This sounds dumb but I tried to check my gear ratio the other day with the way you guys just explained. I jacked up the rear with the car in neutral and the e brake off. The rear tire would not turn no matter what. Niether would the other rear tire. How could this be? The car rolls out of...

    H/C/I coming, help me!

    Yea thanks guys. This is what I wanted opinions on. This car will be a work in progress as long as I have it. Spending money here and there for more mods to complete the last ones. I just wanted a good combo that makes decent power for the money. Thanks again.

    H/C/I coming, help me!

    Headers are considred in the bolt ons I mentioned. I know this is a starting point, don't get stuck on that. The total price will vary, but I want a combo to start with. Cheaper is always a consideration for all of us! Three grand is what I can spend now. I want to get the ball rolling...

    H/C/I coming, help me!

    I have several grand to spend and want to go a little better than modding the original stuff. The aluminum heads will save weight and hopefully are a better starting point. Thanks.

    H/C/I coming, help me!

    I want to save money, but want to get the right combo. My engine is basically stock. Edelbrock performer heads are just under a grand. What about performer heads, intake, and either a E or X cam? Is that good power for the money or is the rpm better? This is both a street and strip car and...

    X_pipe Or Pro Chamber?????????

    Most people I have talked to say the X pipe will make a little more HP than the H, but the H makes a little more torque. I guess its a low end or top end thing, it depends on what your looking for. My old X pipe got all kinds of compliments on the sound, but I really didn,t like it.
