    Lowering my car

    try eibach proline they work well. not to low where you have ground and steering geometry problems. If your struts are low mileage they may be ok. springs, cam bolt for setting alignment is the minimum. New spring insulators, springs, struts, cam bolt or caster plate, rack offset bushings...

    If you have done a PI intake swap (NIP heads) pleeeeze help me!!!!!!!!

    My car (1998) had a aluminum crossover in the non-pi manifold (ford recall). You can swap this to the new manifold; its a direct replacement. If your old manifold was all plastic then you can drill the new crossover and tap it with a 3/8" NPT (pipe tap). You can also relocate the sensor to a...

    If you have done a PI intake swap (NIP heads) pleeeeze help me!!!!!!!!

    my plates do not require any manifold modifications. They are not as tall as Livernois plates. 1. I like this because the injector are only raised 1/4";this helps maintain good spray pattern. 2. If you remember a cheap little plate under the upper plenum was good for about 2hp so why cut...

    air/fuel ratio gauge?

    your oxygen sensor could be broken-indicating a lean condition. As for the quality/usefulness of the non-wide band gauges I see it like this. If your ratio is on you can check the gauge now and they and observe the pattern that it indicates. If the pattern changes or stops alltogether you...

    P.I. Intake opinion

    I would think that the closer to the original location the better. If you've noticed that the spray pattern washes the cyl. head at the stock location. This is not optimal but thats how Ford did it. This can cause some puddling. My gas mileage is 17 city it was 18 city before...

    P.I. Intake opinion

    If your car has the aluminum crossover just swap crossovers. The sensor goes with it. You only have to drill and tap if you have the plastic crossover. The alt. bracket that is on the original setup works, you don't need a new one. check my site instructions they shows the crossover swap.

    P.I. Intake opinion

    The 11-1 ratio (rich) was after the plates and manifold, this was my first dyno run. I had no base dyno without plates and manifold. The 13-1 ratio was the final run after a custom burn. I have seen people quote only 7hp improvement for a swap with Livernois plates. That tells me that there...

    P.I. Intake opinion

    yes the PI gasket will seal the intake ports I was not happy with the water jackets. You still are over looking the advantage of blending the port. I rather have 3/8" of port transition than a blunt head surface for the interface on the outside edge of the ports. We go thru the trouble or...

    P.I. Intake opinion

    you are entitle to your opinion. The plates I use are 1/8" thick so the total lift of the manifold is 0.373 measured. Now subtract the standard gasket and you have a 1/4" lift at the injector. Much less that the other plates. If the plates seal with out RTV (and they do) whey install a...

    about control arms.

    I would add that if your cars suspension is not altered (lowered). Try to get a tool to measure pinion angle before you jack up the car. Then you will be able to adjuct the new control arms to achieve the same angle. You will also probably need to install new bushings in the top diff...

    P.I. Intake opinion

    well lets see if I can answer all of these questions. If you use the SVO heads you really should use the manifold designed to match those heads. They are a round port design and have a manifold similar to the bullit design. Not the cheapest way to go. Now if you use the PI manifold there are...

    P.I. Intake opinion

    these plates allow you to install the manifold(pi) on your 1996-98 4.6l. no head change required. Yes you will get better performance by changing the heads and the manifold but it is alot more work and money. I have seen new 1999 to 2004 manifolds for $160. these plates will give you a good...
