    Vortech btm ??'s

    I'm trying to run the vortech btm that came with the kit (part #5462) and had a question on the wiring. The kit came with an adapter that plugs in between the coil and factory harness, with 4 wires coming out of it. ( white, red, orange, and black) The wires coming from the btm are white, red...

    swaping all fox to a 95 cobra

    The motor in my car was originally from my old 87 gt, I just used the 94-95 front accessories, and used the originaly bellhousing for the 95. But that was just the engine, I think I've heard that the tranny won't fit w/out some modification, but don't know what that is. (input shaft maybe?) The...

    car started missing

    I don't think it would cause it to miss, I've been running a bad evp code for a while, and my car seems to run ok. I don't know what 174 is, but maybe clean the maf? I don't know if the problem is chip related, but maybe take that off and see if anything changes.

    noob changing plugs

    same here, I take the tube that goes from the egr to the headers off, and take some of those smog hoses off. Usually makes it easier, and not to hard to take off. Good luck.

    Vortech discharge ??'s

    Is it common to have to cut the discharge tube to fit? Mine looks like its just to long. It doesn't seem like it wants to fit in between the t/b and supercharger even without the rubber hose fittings. I'm pretty sure everything is aligned the way its supposed to be, I don't have pics yet, but...

    Recommendations for dyno

    I guess its just in the northern area, I called Blue Oval in Vancover, they quoted me 600.00 for the tune w/everything. I guess I'm gonna have to go a little south to get a deal, but they are kind of far, like 3 hours away.

    Recommendations for dyno

    Thanks, I'll see how far those other places are. Originally, they said 75 for 2 pulls, just measuring air/fuel. That seemed about right, but the 1100-1200 to tune was just to much.

    Recommendations for dyno

    I'm finishing up my vortech install, and am looking for a place with a dyno. I've called Blood, sounded pretty reasonable to hook it up w/monitoring the air/fuel, but when I asked how much to tune, I was quoted around 1100-1200. That just seems kinda pricey, before I moved up here, most dyno...

    Thanks 5.0 mustang and Super fords magazine!!!

    I haven't read it, but wow, sounds pretty bad. I just don't understand how they could label us as the bastard child of mustangs. The only thing I can think of is maybe since you can do the PI conversion on the early 4.6's, so they lost respect for our cars? While I know a lot of people have...

    x2c motorsports and fox t/b ?

    Im wanting to do the fox t/b conversion, did the search, found useful pics and everyhting, but I thought x2c motosports sold an entire kit, but there webpage is down and the phone # that I had for them is disconnected. I guess they are out of business? Reason why I'm wanting to do this swap is...

    Finished Trickflow install. Questions...

    If you are worried about combustion on one cylinder, I would do a compression chk on that cylinder. Also, if you have a scan tool, (cheap ones you can buy at walmart or parts store ) you can make it do a cylinder balance test that will turn each inj off individually to test them. 0 on the...

    How to empty gas tank

    Do you mean disconnect it where it meets the rail on the lower manifold? I was thinking about throwing some octane booster and gas, but didn't know if my gas was to old to try something like this.

    How to empty gas tank

    Didn't know those could be bought at Walmart, guess I'll try there, I'm assumjing most auto parts stores would sell something similar?

    PMAS - STAY AWAY

    Makes sense, but why not have your distributors adv customers of the wait, or even when emails were sent, why not respond to let the cust know? I know new companies are hard to get going and running smoothly, but still its kinda bad customer service. You should try to respond ( I know you have a...

    How to empty gas tank

    Hey everyone, I've been doing a vortech install but have been taking my time, almost done, but the gas in the tank is from when I started the project...(couple months ago) and wanted to see if there was any other way to get the gas out besides trying to syphon it out. I thought I saw...

    PMAS - STAY AWAY

    I would have cancelled, but don't know what meter you'd run if you don't like c&l. . I guess there's granetelli, they don't use stock electronics, I don't know if they are anyway affiliated with pro-m or pmas though.

    PMAS - STAY AWAY

    Isn't PMAS the new company that took over Pro-M? If it is, that really doesn't surprise me, I've heard the same people that worked at Pro-M work at this new company (If this is in fact the one I'm thinking of, vasically the new Pro-M), I personally have had horrible experiences with pro-m, but...

    Maf ??'s w/vortech

    Well, I'm basically done with my vortech install, but have some problems. The bracket they use to mount the maf in the fender is for the 94-95 cars that have the flange on the maf, but I already had the c&l 76 maf, which does not have the flange, just uses the rubber hose and hose clamps to...

    Vortech owners, have ??'s on bracket

    No, I got mine new, I ended up just using 3 bolts, but my instructions say there are 4. I'm still lost on the coolant tube, the part that is supposed to be shortened is just completely cut off, and all I have is the part with the tempature sender on it. I thought if I didn't need it, and didn't...
