    First time at track with the new combo, please help

    Your trap speed is way too low indicating a lack of power. Ya you need to work on the launch and you should be shifting later, but trap speed indicates HP. I accidentally launched in second once, in my auto and still trapped at over 100. With your mods you should be making more power than me...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    Steve is right. If I remember correct the camber spec is -.8 +/- .5 deg. I aligned mine to -1.3 and about 5.0 caster and 0 toe. Notice I said 'I aligned mine". I bet these guys never checked the specs and are just going to settings that are common on most cars. Very few have a neg camber spec...

    dropped....

    Everyone talks about camber when they see uneven tire wear. Yes excessive camber will cause uneven tire wear, but toe is much more critical and will cause rapid uneven tire wear if not correct, because your tires are actually dragging sideways instead of rolling straight ahead. When you lower...

    Can a Ford Dealer Recalibrate Speedo?

    No they can't do it. It they can only program for calibrations that are factory options. I went to a dealer after changing my gears, and they thought they could, but they can't.

    car running horrible

    Swap the cop's with 2 different cylinders. Clear the codes and see if the codes follow the cop's or stay at the same cylinders. While it's apart check for moisture or burning on the boots and plugs.

    It says 01 Bullit GT. Listen to SVtech. You already had the program update for your car.

    Engine Ping

    Try it with the stock intake. Some of the cold air intakes will cause a lean condition, due to the way the air flowas through the maf sensor. Also over oiling the K&N will contaminate the maf sensor and make cleaning it necesssary. If the cold air intake is causing the problem, it won't be...

    Odd Heater Problem

    Plugged heater core will do that. Make sure your coolant level is ok first. Also the thermostat might be stuck open if the engine isn't reaching normal temperature. If those look ok, remove the heater hoses and flush the heater core with a garden hose, in both directions several times. You might...

    3.90 gears with Superchips

    I've got the same tuner, and 3.73 gears. It does the same thing. You can change the shift points, with the tuner, to shift later, but it'll still shift up pretty quick, at light throttle. That's just life with an auto and gear changes. Guys with 4.10's and Diablo Predators, have problems with...

    What could cause this problem to happen with my Mach 1?

    I'd guess your fuel level sensor is the problem and you're running out of gas. You could fill the tank. reset trip meter and see if the gauge readings make sense. I'm pretty sure though you're running out of gas, especially when it dies going around corners at first. Fuel sloshing away from...

    How to Get My 60' Down?

    With my auto GT, drag radials made concistant 2.0 60 ft's possible, probably help over the 330, but I could get 2.0's from my street tires as well. You need a high stall torque converter to really launch hard. Then think about suspension mods.:nice:

    How to Get My 60' Down?

    With an auto you'll never get any better than a 1.9 60ft without installing a high stall torque converter. A 1.9 is almost impossible even with slicks. Not enough low end torque. Of course with the torque converter, you'll need slicks or drag radials as well. A 2.0 60 ft is excellent, especially...

    You GOTTA see this! My fogs BLINK to my music!

    You've likely got a ground problem. Amp ground is poor or the battery to body, ground is poor.

    Ticking noise comming from engine on cold starts. Plese Help

    Mine started doing the same thing when I switched to Mobile 1 synthetic. It's not anything to worry about, if it's just for a few seconds. The lifters are just bleeding down when it sits for several hours and it takes a few seconds for the lifters to pump back up. I guess the synthetic seeps...

    removing stock cat back

    I pulled mine out in one piece without cutting. But I did it on a hoist and had a hand. Undid the shocks and quad shocks and that's all. One guy pushing the axle down while the other pulles the pipe out. It was actually pretty easy.
