    I think my motor let go after one day with the blower

    Pull your plugs and shine a light in each cylinder and see if one looks FUBAR'd

    PI Intake Progress

    Do you have a multimeter available? You could check to see if the wire is bad before you go waste money on a part that might not even be broken...

    PI Intake Progress

    Stick to Motorcraft or Autolites...Depending on how often you're willing to change plugs, Copper plugs give a better spark supposedly but need changing every 2 years.

    Automatics with gears?

    How often are you on the highway? I have 3.73's and do a lot of highway driving so I'm satisfied with them. I think 4.10's would be too much for my liking, but others seem to prefer them.

    PI Intake Progress

    Just figured I'd throw it out there :D I know on mine, the wire going to cylinder 8 is shorter than the wire going to cylinder 7, thats why I didn't even check since I figured "longest goes to furthest away probably" Boy was I wrong... As for the plugs, can't help you there. I just went to...

    PI Intake Progress

    My crossed plugs brought me to the brink of selling my car. I think I even posted in the "HELP ME" thread that I made that if I didn't figure it out within a couple days I was going to be selling the car and sending a pipe bomb to Ford (last part I just made up, but thats how pissed I was...

    PI Intake Progress

    A few issues that I had when we did my swap: It misfired and bucked like crazy, we took it apart 4 times only to find out that it was because we mixed up 2 plug wires. Did you label your wires and which cylinders they went to? QUADRUPLE check to be sure, and if you're smart you took before...

    Attention: People Who Want To Do The PI Intake Swap

    Did you do it with anybody or did you do the entire swap by yourself, IE 1 person the whole time? Doing it 1 person would suck donkey balls. Doing it w/ 2 people is fine. I had never done anything on a car in my life that required more than cutting off an exhaust pipe, removing bolts and...

    Only a few more months gentlemen!

    :lol: :rlaugh: :lol: :rlaugh: :lol: More like Toyota and Honda... Either way, I don't see 03/04 Terminators dropping a WHOLE lot til ~ 2009. I say they'll drop slightly, but they won't be very affordable til the 09 era. It's usually about 5 years before you see the spike in...

    PI Swap Sensor

    I still say you just get the PI intake with the Aluminum crossover, being as you'll be replacing your manifold eventually anyways. Might as well do it when you don't have to worry about spraying coolant everywhere and aren't crunched for time to fix the issue.

    PI Swap Sensor

    You might as well replace the intake to one with the aluminum crossover, because your all plastic one WILL crack eventually and force you to replace it anyways. They're only $180-$200, it's worth it.

    Probily the stupidest thing i have seen

    What you have to do is get two of those spooling things that go in the exhaust that sound like turbos spooling. Then rig up an air compressor that will expel its gas really quickly during shifts...then you'd have a m4d tyt3 turbo sounding car f0 sh0. I have this idea patented, any attempts to...

    How do you know shocks/struts are blown?

    When my front right strut was blown, every bump no matter how small sounded like the front of the car was going to die. You couldn't even tell with the whole pushing on the corner to see how it bounces trick, but you could hear it plain as day. My rear left spring was also snapped in half too...

    2 Quarts of Oil?

    Was your car level when you checked it. If your driveway is slanted that could give you a misleading oil level too being as the oil would be at the back edge of the oil pan.

    What HP #'s should I hit????

    Are Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors worth it?

    Yeah I just noticed that, :doh: I'm an idiot.

    Are Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors worth it?

    If you want more than adequate brakes your best bet is the Cobra brake kit, just gotta be willing to spend the money on it. http://www.americanmuscle.com/10th-anniversary-cobra-brake-conversion.html Something like that. Not as blingy as cross drilled and slotted, but MUCH better stopping...

    Are Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors worth it?

    No, they chew through brake pads like nobodies business and are prone to cracking.
