    How do bolt-on modifications work?

    Let me explain what I think, and you correct me if I'm wrong. Power adders, like blowers and nitrous, actually add horsepower to an engine. In contrast, bolt-on modifications free-up horsepower by using aftermarket parts that are more efficient than the cost-effective factory parts. For the...

    Bassani baffles

    I did not have drone but my exhaust system was too loud with Hooker LT headers, o/r x-pipe, and Magnaflow catbacks. The Bassani baffles eliminated the high notes and gave my car a deeper sound. As far as backpressure, I actually needed to restore some because I lost too much low end power.

    What's the difference between blower cams and n/a cams?

    I am having my engine rebuilt. I would like to trade out the cams. For the next year or two, I will probably run n/a and then add a supercharger. What kind of cam should I get?

    Drive Gear on Oil Pump is Broken

    I reported earlier in the week that my engine froze up. Having reviewed my service records, the warranty company ordered an autopsy. I just received word from the Ford dealer that the cause of my engine's death was that the drive gear on the oil pump broke. The next hoop will probably require...

    Mach I Convertible by Roush?

    Good eyes! I did a search through Car Fax and the car is indeed a GT convertible. Is it common for Roush to build Mach I replicas? What is usually included in a Roush package? Is $24,000 a good price?

    Bad News: Engine Froze Up

    I've jumped through the first hoop with the warranty company. For the first hoop, they simply reviewed my service record (benefit of using the same lube shop). For the second hoop, they want the Ford dealer to tear down the motor and determine the cause of the damage. Since all internal parts...

    Mach 1 questions

    A stock Mach was dynoed by Hot Rod magazine. It produced 280 rwhp. That's 333 bhp, not the under-rated 305 bhp advertised by Ford. I've added over $2000 in bolt-on mods (not including labor) onto my GT and I am now up to 260 rwhp. It will take more than a few mods for a GT to beat a Mach I.

    Bad News: Engine Froze Up

    On Sunday, I was driving on the freeway. When I accelerated, the car responded up to about 90 mph then it started to decelerate. I kept pushing the gas pedal but there was no response. I had AAA tow my car to a local Ford dealer where I have had other work done. They called this morning to...

    Help! Car won't start

    I was driving on the freeway. I accelerated to pass another car and my car died during acceleration. The car will not start. I had to have it towed. I used my Diablo Predator to check for error codes and the number PO320 came up. According to the Predator, this refers to the...

    Pulled Two New Codes: PO133 & PO153

    My service engine light came on. The car was running fine. I check the error codes and these numbers came up. I then erased them and took the stang for a ride. The light has remained off so far. Due to my o/r x-pipes, I use to have problems with the service engine light. I pulled the...

    Pulled Two New Codes: PO133 & PO153

    According to my Diablo Predator, both codes indicate, "02 Circuit Slow Response." I was able to erase these error codes but I wonder what they mean. Any ideas?

    HOW MUCH HORSEPOWER OUT OF STOCK AOD

    I imagine that is 450 rwhp (562 bhp). Is this about the same limit for a stock rear end?

    Maximum rwhp for n/a 4.6 2v?

    I'm guessing that a 4.6 2v with all the bolt-ons, p&p heads, and custom cam would put out 320 rwhp. Any other guesses?

    Bassani baffles work great in Magnaflow tailpipes

    My exhaust system consists of Hooker LT headers, o/r x-pipe, and most recently, Magnaflow catbacks. Needless to say, my car was loud. I also noticed that I lost some low end power. To quiet down my car and regain some backpressure, I purchased 3.5 inch baffles from Bassani. They slipped...

    How does the rev limiter work?

    It happens in every gear when I shift manually. I read elsewhere that the fuel pump actually shuts down when the engine is revved beyond the set limit. I am not sure what the factory setting is, but I will use my Predator to raise it a little.
