    another "what next" question

    The accufab is more expensive and there is a certain "bling" factor with it, but I have had no problems or whistle with mine. I think the old "tried and true" mods are still the best - x-pipe, pullies, and timing adjuster. It's funny - everyone used to immediately answer pullies & t/a to...

    Exhaust Opinions.......

    I agree that you should try to get together with some Mustang folks in your area and listen to their cars. Sounds clips are okay, but it's really hard to hear everything on an mp3. It's also really personal preference, some guys go for the "NASCAR" sound w/ a little rasp and others like the...

    Steeda crank pulley bolt for stock crank pulley, possible

    I believe those bolts are TTY, you're better off spending a few bucks and buying one from Ford, imo. Jay

    another "what next" question

    I think that's an accurate assessment with an o/r x pipe. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with the Accufab T/B - the quality is great, the finish is excellent. I've had zero problems with mine. No firsthand experience with others, though. Again, just my opinion. Jay

    Cold air kit connectors.

    I had the same problem with the CAI & the 87MM Pro-M. I ended up modifying the pipe between the T/B & the MAF. If you need them, let me know - I don't need them - I wouldn't ask for any $$$ - they don't have any value to me. Jay

    another "what next" question

    Have you guys taken a look at the midpipe on a 4.6? They've got 4 cats on them - imagine the restriction that causes! If it were my car that's were I'd start. As a bonus, with an o/r pipe you'll start to get that "mean as hell" sound even through the stock catback. Just my .02. Jay

    Cold air kit connectors.

    Are you talking about the sleeves that hold the CAI to the MAF, etc.? I have one extra from my old Mac CAI (trashed it after it caused some problems for me) - you could have it (I'm down in Redmond). Also, I called Mac and ordered a 3.5" for like $12.00 - still seems unreasonably priced, but...

    ligh blue and red ECU wire??

    If it's light blue w/red stripe in location 88 (should be able to tell by looking at the harness - they faintly number the first and last I believe) it's the signal wire for the MAF. The only other listing for a lb/r wire is position 52 - ignition coil #2, so I'm sure that's not it. Jay

    Rear Seats? How To Take Them Out?

    Don't know what clear things you're talking about - my 2000 looks just like the photo in the link - push the button and the cushion pops up. :shrug:

    Help w/ throttle sensor

    I got that code when I did my plenum swap, too. I used a digital voltmeter to check the voltage on the Throttle Positions Sensor - positive lead to the middle wire on the TPS, ground to a bolt/rivet on the strut tower. The voltage should be around .98-.99V when the throttle body is at rest...

    Rear Seats? How To Take Them Out?

    The clips are actually on the front of retainers. Feel around under the center of each cushoin with a flathead screwdriver - when you find it, push on the front of it and each side will noticeably pop up. Jay

    Is a catback worthwhile?

    Guys, These are solid replies - thanks. I'll take it from this that there are benefits to a catback with my set-up. Obviously, with the money I've got invested so far, a good catback to open up the exhaust won't hurt too much. Jay

    replacing shocks

    I'm with Hognutz on this - it's not a terribly difficult task. With a little bit of time and patience you can get it with basic tools and knowledge. Do one side at a time in the rear - when I released both rears and the back end lifted a bit due to spring pressure and it was a pain to get the...

    autometer gauge lighting

    How difficult was the oil pressure install? I have the C2 A/F & Fuel Pressure - I love the looks of them and honestly I think under WOT there is some value to the A/F - I've run the car on the dyno and I had two green lights when the car was 12.5:1 and I had one light when it was 12:1. At part...

    Is a catback worthwhile?

    JonJon - you got it, man! I am running out of reasonable things to do... the time is going to be spent saving for changes rather than making them. There are still a lot of little things to do - weld axle tubes and torque boxes, etc. Three major projects remaining - bullitt or aftermarket intake...

    A couple examples of straight through designs? Thanks!

    Is a catback worthwhile?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm kind of grasping here because I have about everything done n/a (short of the bullitt intake) and I think there's more in the car. Just trying to isolate possible opportunities to take advantage of them. Jay

    Is a catback worthwhile?

    Like the title says, is a catback worthwhile? I have the stock catback with flows welded in - I'm really wondering if it's causing a restriction and robbing me of power with only 1/4" difference in pipe diameter. Mods are in my sig. Jay
