    Diablo Predator Question

    No. It plugs into the diagnostic port. I think they are now about $350. Go to diablosport.com to read about the Predator's functions.

    got my kb installed

    My 99 GT has the button just like your picture shows. Like someone else said, the Predator (or other tuner) can disable it so you don't have to remember to push the button whenever you start the car.

    how much of a diff do 4.10's make

    I installed Nitto drag radials after the 4.1 and the problem was solved. It cut my measured 0-60 mph time by 0.4 sec.

    Car isn't running right? Help please!

    I have noticed that not all fault codes will cause a CEL. So it might help to get the codes read.

    Best Place to Install Supercharger in Los Angeles Area

    I am looking to install Vortech S-Trim, non-intercoolded, 6-8 psi, Lightining 90mm MAF, 42# injectors, and SVT Focus fuel pump. I also need dyno tune for Predator. Could someone suggest a good shop in the greater Los Angeles area to do this. By good, I mean good quality, good service, and...

    Exhaust drone/rattle predicament! I need some info and advice!

    I have been down the same path as you. Here is where I ended up. First, I just tried weld-in Magnaflow, but it was too quiet. So then the shop cut me a deal. He had some Dynomax 2.5" catback tubing and I wanted Flowmaster 40 mufflers for sound. They sounded good, but when they droned, the...

    another octane question

    That is a point worth remembering. Higher octane might be required for lower elevations, lean air / fuel ratios, high coolant temperatures, boost, increased compression ratios, and hotter air inlet temperatures. Your EEC can accommodate most of these changes, with the exception of boost and...

    another question on handheld programmers??

    I believe the Hypertech will let you change the automatic transmission shift points and firmness, while leaving the ignition timing and air / fuel at factory values (you may wish to verify this). However, I would choose the Predator for more features and versatility. After all, you own a V8...

    stock mufflers???

    Good article. It is nice to read factual information, not hearsay. The only 99+ GT dyno test I am aware of was for the Dynomax 2.5" catback with ultraflow mufflers. It tested + 4.2 rwhp. This article used to be posted on seanhylandmotorsports.com.

    Question for FIPK Owners

    When I installed a Densecharger on my old six, I looked into this. I talked to a Ford technician and he said the screen is there primarily to smooth out airflow entering the MAM, and secondarily to provide backup protection for the air filter. Anyway, I left it off on my six. I never had...

    $1000. What to do? Susp., Exhaust, Nitrous, etc...

    For your $1000 budget: 1. 4.10 gears (about $500 installed). 2. Diablo Predator Programmer (about $350). The owner of the local Mustang Performance shop said 4.10 gears and some timing advance does a lot of good to a GT. This leaves about $150. If you can find another $100, you could...

    Making Engine Cooler

    From Page 116 of "Supercharging, Turbocharging, & Nitrous Oxide" by Davis, 2001: "Elevated coolant temperatures require more octane. A 160 to 180 degree water temperature is ideal."

    Safe but effective shift points: 1-2: 5850 rpm 2-3: 5750 rpm 3-4: 5650 rpm

    U/D pullies

    This is an important point. The owner of the local Mustang performance shop talked me out of pulleys for 2 reasons: 1. They cause the allready too hot 2V 4.6L motors to run even hotter; 2. You only get gains of 2 rwhp for every 2000 rpm on a cool motor. This is quickly negated when the...

    Best flowing exhaust system?

    A cat-back system will offer 2.5" tubing instead of factory 2.25" and also higher flow mufflers. It should be designed and fabricated for improved flow, exhaust scavenging, and sound. The Dynomax 2.5" cat-back system with ultraflow mufflers dyno tested 4.2 rwhp. A modest but decent gain...

    Best flowing exhaust system?

    Review this report: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/70.shtml It was for an LX 5.0, but it should give you a feel for the performance and quality offered from the different manufactures.
