    Any 4.6 experts or Ford Technicians

    As far as piston slap, a dude I know with Bullitt swares he has some but thats all ive heard. I do know that the fuel injectors tick a little loudly at times. I think there may have been a tsb on the injectors but dont remember for sure. Listen to a LS1 on a cold start and listen to your car...

    Traclock Q

    Ive read in a couple different places that the stock diff. (trac-lok) is only good for about 30K with spirited driving and multiple burnouts. Probably time for a rebuild kit. They only put a minimal amout of clutch plates in the diff. from the factory. From what Ive read you can add more to...

    MIL & "Safe Mode"

    Yes there is such a thing. Others might refer to it as limp mode. When the computer detects something that is too far out of wack it will run in a safe mode(similar to what windows will do when not shut down properly). Your O2 sensors are not running hot enough, so its throwing your emissions...

    Anyone who has billet grille....

    If memory serves me correctly, I got mine from Brothers Performance Warehouse for I think 79.99. Its aluminum with black powdercoat. Looks way better than the plastic oe grill.

    Royal Purple or Amsoil

    Royal Purple is loaded up with sulfer additives. This will initially show a gain in power but after 750 miles or so..that oil is done. Eventually, if you ran it long enough it would just gum up the motor and leave sludge in the oil pan. So yes, the additives package is nuttin to brag about.

    Big wheels = HP loss?

    This may be a similar answer to the last post but putting bigger rims on will make a differance in your wheel horsepower. Even if the wheels are the same weight or lighter overall..the mass of the wheel is being put further away from the center of rotation. Therefore it takes more energy to get...

    Royal Purple or Amsoil

    Don't be fooled about Royal Purple. That stuff is a joke. Amsoil and Mobile 1 are both excellent.

    borla cat-back 99up gt

    The mufflers you have look just like mine. I have the regular cat-back on my 01 GT with stock H-pipe and headers. Its louder than stock for sure but its tame compared to others. I have about 3000 miles on my cat-back and it seems to be getting a bit louder as time gos on :D . Im happy with it...

    The tranny might hold 500hp...but don't expect it to last very long. Thats what I was getting at.

    Automatic Transmission

    550 hp on the stock tranny is out of the question. You would want a full rebuild by a good tranny shop. Let them know what u wanna do with it and they will build it to your needs.

    How hard is it to steal a 99-2004 stang

    As far as I know...most thieves aren't interested in my mustang...that is after they see the luster of my nickle plated Desert Eagle.

    Which Oil is the King of the Hill?

    Mobile 1 and Amsoil are some of the best. Royal Purple is the Devil. I think the Royal Purple's formulator has a medulaoblongatta problem.

    Front QA1 Struts blew... What do you think of the Bilsteins?

    A friend of mine shares your pain. He had QA1's and they also gave up the ghost as well. He switched to Bilsteins and has had no problems to speak of and I think when I replace mine Ill get some of em myself.

    Borla install

    I have the Borla on my 01 GT. Was easy to install..like last post..driver side pipe didn line up quite right but being ball and socket type of connection it worked out.. whoever or whatever is welding the exhaust kits needs to correct the misalligned weld on the front of the muffler.
