    How many miles on your S197?

    Bought Aug. 25th of '06, sitting at 21K miles and change. Will turn 22K miles this week sometime.

    SHIFT POINTS

    That pretty much sums up what I've heard. The shift point is determined by where at in the power curve you'll be once you're in the next higher gear. The key is to know how much RPM drop you'll have between gears. From 1st-2nd, you'll have a bigger RPM drop than the 3rd-4th gear change since...

    what ford truck to buy

    The 97-03 F-150s are about 500# lighter when comparing similar styles to the '04 and up, so if you are looking to modify the truck, I would think that weight might be a factor for you. The 4.6 is the same basic engine IIRC, but the 5.4 went to a 3 Valve head with variable valve timing and...

    Police interceptor GT

    You must be a little younger than me. The Ohio State Highway Patrol had some Fox body notches back in the day. Also, if you ever travel to Indiana, you'll see they have Camaros in use even now, undercover style with a single gumball on the dash. Anyways, I am not aware of a Ford PI package...

    My Car Meets It's Grea-Great Grandpa

    Cool pics. My uncle has a black/black '67 Cougar XR-7 that he's owned since new. One of these days, we are going to take some pics together like that.

    #3 Plug Blow Out

    It's older than that. I've heard it mostly associated with the 2v 5.4 in late '90s to early '00s F-150/Expeditions. The 5.4 didn't go 3 valve until the re-designed F-150 in '04.

    Why is it legal?

    That's totally different from street racing because at the track, all people including spectators understand that there is a potential for disaster and are willing to assume the risk. Also, in that environment, there are measures in place to minimize the risk (safety inspection, equipment...

    Off-road X-pipe question

    Thanks for the tip on Lethal Performance. Steeda didn't have them listed and I was leary of going the E-Bay route. Should be here for the weekend.

    Off-road X-pipe question

    I snagged an O/R X-pipe (maybe a Trick Flow piece?) from a buddy for $80 the other day and my ? is can I run this with just MIL eliminators and not suffer from driveability issues? I'm too poor right now to spend the $$$ on a CAI and SCT 2. As of right now, my car is bone stock. Also, where's...

    Mod ??

    No, you won't need a tune. If you think that is something you will do down the road, then don't get the K&N and just wait and get the CAI and tune from a reputable shop at the same time.

    07 5spd GT Getting 15mpg

    Where and how you drive affects the MPG big time on these cars. My '06 is bone stock. I've seen as little as 14MPG (mostly city) out of a tank to as high as 23MPG (700 mile road trip , all interstate, cruising between 75-80).

    Engine Upgrades to withstand high HP

    If you are looking at a "typical" FI package, most of them are set-up to work on a stock motor. It's only when you start playing around with the race only set-ups that you get into HP levels that require replacing crank/rods/pistons. The block itself is pretty stout and can handle lots of HP...

    New GT Oil: Conventional or Synthetic

    Good to see someone else understands the need to seat the rings. The 1 and only time I followed the manufacturer's break in procedures on a new vehicle (streetbike back before I had read up on different break in procedures on the net) led to glazed cylinders and an oil eating motor. On my...

    Need help with FR2 question

    I bet the tune didn't get uploaded. That would explain the speedo issue and likely the CEL and CC issues as well. The FRPP packs include a tuner with a custom tune, but they are not included in the box. Once you buy the pack, you have to supply the processor code and then the tuner with the...

    Is this the 2008 Bullitt Mustang?

    I was thinking the same thing about the wheels. Maybe it's just that there's a 3rd color option coming for the Shelby GT?

    Our Own Little Speed Shop

    :hail2: :drool: :Teh-Win: That's the way to do it! What's the cost/month on that place? If you have enough guys to go in on it, it makes sense to do that rather than everyone trying work on their stuff in a driveway under jack stands.

    Understeer at speed?

    As to me, I don't push it on the street other than the occasional off-ramp where I have some room and a lack of other vehicles to contend with. The very last thing I want to do is push it in a situation where if I get it wrong, I am risking other people as well as myself. I do plan on doing...

    Borla Stinger S-Type vs FRPP 5GT, Warranty

    I'm with ScottM on this. Ford is not just a retailer on the 5GT mufflers, they are the "manufacturer" who developed the specs and stamp their name on them, it just so happens that Borla owns the plant they are made at. Think of it this way, if your power seat goes out, do you go to Lear (or...

    Understeer at speed?

    I couldn't disagree more. The only way I can get oversteer is to jerk the car into it (sudden steering and throttle input), if I try to take a smooth line and find the limit, my front end gives up first every time. I really, really want to get a full suspension kit, just need to find the $$$.
