    Question on manual transmissions

    Installed by ford? man i really dont think its going to be worth it. As much as i prefer a manual transmission, the new 5speed auto is pretty good. Id say a grand or so for the trans. 4-5 hours of labor. TCM, wiring harness, maybe a diff driveshaft?

    What does the battery disconnect thing do?

    I did tell you how to fix the problem. If you give more information we can help. If it is a lean code, then chances are you are going to need a specific tune to run properly with the intake. Like they said, should have a tune with the unit when you bought it, unless you purchased it before...

    New back tires....

    Cool. Ya i notice with my car, they hook up pretty good, which is bad when you are on a rough road cuz the car tracks all over the place lol. Ya, just the first time it rains, go down an empty road or somin and see how it handles, i was pretty shocked how bad it was.

    New back tires....

    How do you like them so far? I have nitto 450s on my 01 gt. Great traction, but horrible in the rain in my opinion.

    wheel swap

    I think the speedo is minimally effected. They fit no problem, and you can just reuse your old lugnuts i believe.

    It makes your car a 13 second car, thats why, at least in my book. Who cares who drives it.

    Help a brotha launch! hah

    SHOULD? lol I think it would help if i just took my cobra to the track, but just learned somin bout the tires on there (dealership put wrong ones, so im waitin on those). Im probably just going to end up with a tlok and gt takeoff wheels. Hopefully give me a couple tenths off my quarter mile.

    I've definately noticed how much quicker it is in the AM, then in the PM. Lots of people are tellin me that it doesnt deal with extra weight very well either, and me being heavier than norm, dont help lol.

    scrming is super super close to 13s with his nitrous setup, and im sure he will break it with the 100shot and good conditions. I wish we had some chilly weather here, the 90+ degree heat (yes at night when i go) is really killing me. ur 60ft time is like 3 tenths better than mine. I WANT...

    Im pretty sure the xcal2 can download updates from the internet too (livelink and extremetune, and some other software available on their site). Pretty good that just lowering your car, tires, posi, and a tune, u are in the 14s, im jealous lol. What was your 60ft time? i bet you are gettin...

    Help a brotha launch! hah

    Spinning tires a whole lot more than i want to, thats for sure. Never seen a v6 that will spin the tires completely loose, without droppin the clutch (at least not a stock v6). Im gettin the rear end rebuilt by ford under warranty in a couple weeks, and i am going to ask them if i buy a tlok...

    Diablo Sport Predator help...

    What has been done to your car that you tested out? Also i was under the impression the XCAL2 had more features to mess around with than the predator. And a tune is a tune, whether you get it on the pretator, or the xcal1/2. Just depends on what you do with that tune. Your cars computer does...

    Diablo Sport Predator help...

    haha nice scrming. Im probably going to the track tonight, going to see what i can do in 95+ degree heat (was only like 100 today, very 'cool') with just a tune. Hopefully i can pull some 15.1s or 15.2s tonight. Anything slower and ill be upset. Thinkin bout letting the tire pressure out a...

    Diablo Sport Predator help...

    Showing off would be the only reason to do it, it doesnt serve functionality, unless you want to do a 6000rpm clutch drop lol. Also to appreciate any exhaust, the car needs to be under load, just somin bout freerevving dont sound right.
