    AUTO Mustang needs advice

    I checked with two shops that I would trust in my area and neither one would attempt to perform the J-Mod. They would not even read over the custom instructions I typed up and brought with me. I even had spare seperator plate that I had pre drilled to the J-Mod 300hp specs. Both shops wanted...

    Timing Advance with predator

    I thought I made it clear in previous posts but here is goes again with more explanation. Your computer (ecc) in the mustang is fairly sophisticated. It monitors sensors and produces outputs based off of programming in the computer. The programming in the computer is not simple... I am sure...

    What are the CONS of an electric water pump?

    If I remember correctly Mezerie told me that the pump has a 2500 hour life expectancy. You can do the math to estimate how many years it will last... I have used mine for almost two years (1year 10month) and have yet to experience a failure. Being that the mezerie pump uses a brushed DC...

    AUTO Mustang needs advice

    Diablo Predator = Cool tuning device & +2-15hp J-Mod = Imperative for 4r70ws Trans Cooler = Yes (Do some reading on TCCOA) First, the predator is a really neat handheld flasher... I would have to say that it provides a SOTP increase in power but no more than 5-10hp with the predator tune...

    dyno results..should i fix this

    What kind of A/F meter was the shop using and where was it located? If the O2 sensor was in the tailpipe and you have cats in the midpipe couldn't that skew the a/f ratio? When I had the predator tune @ +5% WOT fuel it seemed like there was a bit more carbon than normal in the tailpipe. I...

    Timing Advance with predator

    I have been told that 20-25 degrees timing should be ideal. Kenne Bell states that their dyno numbers are produced with 23 deg timing so 20-25 deg sounds reasonable. Your actual timing is always changing based of of multiple variables the computer monitors (TP, coolant temp, inlet air temp...

    Timing Advance with predator

    I have experimented with the predator quite a bit and currently I am rumming +4% Timing 2K-4K & 4K-7K. I have also tried adding more WOT fuel but I am back to the predator base tune 0%. The max timing advance during WOT is 20 deg. Use the predator data log feature to monitor timing... 93...

    UPDATE~~~ Suspension noise

    Dude, I too have experienced what I call the "Steeda CC plate noise". The noise occurs whenever there is a radical change in direction (vertical of course) of the spindle (strut moves with the spindle). In other words whenever I would hit a really big pothole the suspension would produce a...

    installing subframes, how hard is it?

    I decided to save 50-100 dollars and weld my steeda SFCs on the stang. If I had it to do all over again, I would take it to a local muffler shop that does good work. I actually enjoy welding and it was still a PITA. If you are going to do it yourself... get the car as high off the...

    Camber Caster Gauge Question

    I have decided to buy a camber caster gauge but there are several gauges available. I was wondering if anyone has one. Here are the brand names of some that I have found on the internet: Quantum Intercomp Longacre Also will a magnetic attachment to the spindle work with my mustang?

    Moisture in Oil System

    Yea I understand how coolant might get into the head and combustion chamber but there is not an oil passage in the intake or the intake gasket. Moisture or possibly coolant in the oil is my problem?

    Moisture in Oil System

    Yesterday I decided to change the oil in my 02 mustang from Motorcraft 5w-20 to Mobil One 0w-20... Anyway when I removed the oil cap there was a brownish white cream look to the stuff in the oil cap. I immediately freaked out and thought a head gasket was blown or damaged. So I finished the...

    shocks and struts

    I have been very pleased with my Tokicos. When I tried Steeda sport springs with stock shocks it just did not work. The front drop was 1 5/8" and the car bottomed out on the bump-stops frequently. I normally keep them set on 5 (stiffest) when daily driving but on road trips I like it a...
