    does any of your cars feel good some days,

    You can't get rid of it. With the resistor mod, you simply trick it. The resistor is in the air tube right behind the MAF. It's that jack that plugs into the black tube. Guys at the track pull that plug and install a resistor to fool the computer into thinking it's actually colder outside...

    does any of your cars feel good some days,

    Maybe the engine is heat soaked. In the morning, my car flys. After I park it for an hour, then drive it, it feels slower. I know we have some sensor in the or close to the the MAF that pulls timing, Maybe thats it. Rememeber the "resistor mod".

    cam install gone WRONG!!!

    That whole scene would be a painful thing to witness. I'm curious, ask him why he did it this way. And why would he risk destroying his car. What year is this Mustang. If it was a 99 or '00, the cam gears are press on verse the bolt on type. I like the gun comment, drop the cams and step...

    Mobil 1

    Check first to see if your car only requires 5 litres of oil. Since it's a '97 it may only be 5 litres. My '00 GT takes 4.75 litres. The newer GT's take close to 6 litres. Also, after doing a oil anaylis on my car, they quickly determined that my car had a K&N filter, so extended drain...

    Pro-M intake kit installed.

    I've never seen an engine that clean!! Do you drive your car or is it a show car. OR should I ask, what do you clean the engine with?

    05 V6 power potential

    One of the reasons to get a 6 is insurance!! I've never owned a 6 Stang, just 3 GT's and insurance these days can be a real bitch.

    GM guy here, thinking of a '05, I don't know though, knowing of ford quality....

    My parents, my brother and I owned alot of Ford, Chyrsler, and GM vehicles and in my opinion, the quality of a domestic depends on the vehicle you buy. Meaning engine, tranny, and of course maintenence. Who would of thought our 1985 LeBaron GTS Turbo would run over 300K miles with the original...

    Harmonic Hum from engine

    This hum sound is something thats been listed on the boards before. I have the same problem. My car is a 2000GT. I think its the water pump, but others say it isn't. I've tried for 2 years to figure it out to no avail. Oh well.

    Is the magnapack cat-back worth it??

    What would give me more hp: The Magnaflow X-pipe or the Magnaflow cat-back? I will eventually do both, however, I'm curious as to what kind of dyno gains can I expect from the x-pipe.

    Snow tires with Black steel wheels

    What year is your car? The guy told me at the Dealer that I would need 16" steel wheels to fit over the front brakes.. My car is a 2000GT.

    98 gt vs 03 gt block?

    I believe that the block is the same. The difference is in the pistons. If they use new pistions with your original heads, you will get a compression drop. If you get the PI Heads, you will be at 9.0 -9.4 to 1 compression.

    1998 Gt 225 hp BS?

    189rwhp to the wheels? Thats almost funny. I've seen N/A V6's with mods do that. Its time for a headswap.

    351 windsor swap?

    I'd go with this advise. Hell, some forged internals and a KB might be cheaper than a 351 swap. You'll get more power too.

    Why is my car so slow?!!

    The answer is simple. If you wanted maximun performance, you had to buy a Cobra, which was rated at 305hp. If i remember correctly, it was a faster car than all the LT1 Camaros and TA's.

    wobbly rear suspension

    Unfortunately, its called Ford Quality. My car did that too, I took it back to the Dealer and now it does it a little less than before. Someone recommended the Steeda rear swaybar to correct this problem.
