    JET control module

    I had one, it was one of my first mods, before I found sites like stangnet to help me. I now have an SCT programmer. If you aren't planning on modding your car more than a chip, a CAI, mid-pipe, and catback than go with jet if it is that much cheaper, but if you ever want to do more in future...

    HELP! Bassani catted X-pipe hitting frame. muffler shop won't touch it

    Not sure if you have tried this, but when I first put my Bassani x-pipe and catback on, I had the same problem. I had to loosen (not take off) all the connecting bolts including where the x-pipe attachs to the headers. Adjust the pipe to clear everything and figure out a way to hold it there...

    cat back removal.....

    You are on the right track. Just take the springs, shocks (both of them) and let the axle hang as far as possible and than support it with jack stands. Your old exhaust will come out, but it is a pain in the a$$. It took me about 30 minutes just to get the pipes out. It will require a lot of...

    do I need the plastic deflectors under my bumper?

    I have an 02 stang so I don't know if it would affect your car differently, but I mine has been off for about 2 years and I have not noticed a difference.

    S/C or NA

    Here is my problem. I almost have my stang the way I want it in the handling department at least as soon as I put my new suspension components on. The only things left are major upgrades to the engine/drivetrain and wheels. I have 78,000 miles on my car, it is a daily driver and I am...

    Kenne Bell "Fudge Factor"

    I would check their fine print to see what other mods were done and at what conditions it was tested under. I know that for the 04 stangs and older, KB's claims were high. The reason it was high is b/c KB tested the car with race gas and a lot of timing. I am not doubting KB, but make sure...

    cam seized

    First of all, I am sorry to hear about your car. I am sure you are aware of this, but make sure you document everything between you and the companies involved. Also document all the costs that you have incurred by having your car down and out, such as gas, phone calls, lawyer fees, everything...

    California Emissions Test - Questions

    We might as well face it, Cali has always been the toughest state for emissions and most states will probably follow its lead. My guess is that in the next 5-10 years, most states will have similar emissions testing as Cali does. Unless the laws change, it will be hard to mod cars even if the...

    N.C. New Emissions test

    I don't have cams in my car yet, but I live in Raleigh and I have a Bassani X-pipe w/cats and a Bassani catback. I also have a tune that turns off my rear O2 sensors. When I got inspected (at a local Jiffy Lube, don't worry that is the only time they touch my car) the guy came in and asked...

    aluminum intakes are here!!!!

    I have a better test for you. Take some plastic and Al and and subject it to say 200F temperature for 20 minutes, which is hotter? Answer, they are both at 200 degrees. No matter what material you use, in less it is a highly insulating material, heat transfer will occur it just occurs at...

    aluminum intakes are here!!!!

    Someone mentioned heat soak. This might be a problem if you are doing very short drives, as the Al intake will absorb heat faster, however if you are doing short drives, i.e. racing, this effect can be negated by using ice to cool the intake betweent runs. If you are just driving around...

    aluminum intakes are here!!!!

    Two things, one is regarding the intake being made in China. The bad thing about metal products from other countries is that they usually don't follow the standards that the US does. Of course there are exceptions, but unless the company is required to produce the metal to US specs than it...

    Mobil 1 or Syntec

    I like to baby my stang as much as the next guy, but I just thought of something. I think using the really "high end" oils like royal purple and amsoil is really a waste of money, unless you are really putting out a lot of power, above say 500Hp or done extensive work to your engine. Our...

    Mobil 1 or Syntec

    I have used Syntec for the past 75,000 miles and plan on keep using it and everything is good on my current 02 GT. I used regular Castrol in my previous Mustang 1993 4-cylinder, 150,000+ miles and it never burned oil. If you change your oil regularly and you have a stock engine, i.e. not a...

    wheel quality

    I guess just like everything else that you might buy, sometimes you get lemons. I did some more searching last night and found some sweet wheels, the only problem was they cost between $500-900 each :shock: I can't imagine spending that kind of money on just wheels. I guess I am in the wrong...

    wheel quality

    I have done some searching in the forums but I really haven't found what I am looking for. I am looking for some new wheels, but I don't want to spend several hundred dollars and have new wheels that have chipping paint or chrome. I want to know what are good brands to buy, i.e. Ford OEM...

    That was great info, thanks. :nice:

    header or not to header?

    gearbanger 101, I agree with what you say about the headers. How is it that headers make more power on other s/c cars (centri blown cars) but they don't work on KB s/c cars, something doesn't add up there. Anyway, I have a question for you. You talk about opening up the intake side, but...

    Innovate LM-1 install

    I need some help. I have a LM-1 and I want to install it but I don't know where to put the controller. I have the bung welded in place and I am ready to put the O2 sensor in, but I don't know where to put the controller or where to run the wires. If anyone has any suggestions I would...
