    Gas mileage getting worse by the tank

    I was always happy enough getting over 200 miles on my tanks.

    Gas mileage getting worse by the tank

    Something else I thought of.. If your fuel pressure sensor (on your fuel rail) is not reading properly, the PCM will increase the fuel pump duty cycle increasing pressure in your fuel rails, which causes your injectors to spray more fuel than they should. You can get a dealer or tuner to read...

    Gas mileage getting worse by the tank

    Change your fuel filter lately? And yes the change in fuel mixtures during the winter (government mandated in many states) can negatively affect fuel economy. Not to mention the gas is a little more expensive.

    Add trans fluid...

    Yes. It's actually the EASIEST way to fill up the transmission with fluid. I don't do it any other way.

    $1000 to blow, looking at suspension

    Seriously, save some dough and pass on the shocks/struts. Just get the springs and C/C plates at least. I still highly recommend the subframe connectors.

    Ball Joints

    The Steeda balljoints adjust your suspension geometry if your car is lowered. I have them on my car and I recommend them. My original balljoints seemed like crap and liked to make a clunk noise when turning in reverse (like out of my driveway). It all went away when I got the Steeda ball joints.

    $1000 to blow, looking at suspension

    Shocks/struts are expensive, probably at least $400-$500 for the full set. You don't really need them. Get them if you want, though. I'd get springs, caster/camber plates, and subframe connectors if I was you.

    king cobra clutch hold up?

    King Cobra is an OEM+1 clutch. It won't grip much better or last much longer than a stock clutch. I wore one out in 7 months of daily driving plus weekend drag racing. Plus the King Cobra pressure plate makes for a really heavy clutch pedal. I've had my bad experiences with SPEC clutches. I've...

    Spun Bearing, when does it "Knock"

    Best bet to locate the problem is with a mechanic's stethoscope. Make sure you listen to the bottom part of the motor. Put the scope on the main bolts sticking horizontally out of the side of the block right above the oil pan when checking for rod knock. For checking valvetrain, put the scope...

    MY HIGH FLOW CATS QUESTION???MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON PLEASE HELP

    Before you go out and buy MIL eliminators, reset your PCM to clear the codes and adaptive learning data in the PCM and see if the SES light comes back on first. Just disconnect the battery for 30+ minutes, then reconnect it. If the light comes back on, get the MIL eliminators.

    How to Get My 60' Down?

    2.0 is a pretty good 60' for plain ol' radial tires. Even with a 5-speed, I didn't get 1.9's on radials that frequently.

    4.6 motor Mounts??

    I just got my engine running on Friday. As soon as I get a new input shaft for my transmission so I can drive it, I will let you know. I should be getting the input shaft today.

    Tremec 3650--what engines will fit?

    I think the bellhousing can be removed (bolted from the inside of the bell), but I'm not 100% sure. I have doubts about any other type of bellhousing being available for it.

    got 600 bucks to blow, what to buy

    If you do cams, you will need to re-tune for your car to idle properly. So you may have to get the cams AND programmer if you do cams. Just something to think about. Everything I've heard about the SCT Xcalibrator 2 has been positive. It can also datalog if you ever need to pull computer codes...

    Header and Midpipe question

    It's more about exhaust pressure and restriction in the space between the exhaust port and the collector where your mid-pipe connects that makes the difference.

    4.6 motor Mounts??

    Energy Suspension mounts here too. I got the full kit with the transmission crossmember included.

    2 valve, valvecovers?

    Yeah Team Breed can etch custom logos into the valve covers for you for an extra charge. The running pony like I have is no extra charge. There's only a few things they can't etch for you due to trademarks/copyrights.

    Please Help with removing 4.6 DOHC Oil Pan ASAP!!

    Best way with the engine in the car would be to drop the K-member first then the oil pan. You'll need to support the engine somehow to drop the K-member. A jack with a block of wood under the crankshaft balancer pulley should do the trick.

    2 valve, valvecovers?

    BBK aluminum valve covers are okay, a little too busy for my tastes. I really like my Team Breed valve covers. I got mine from Snkypete Racing - http://www.snkypete.com

    what is this??? its ripped off!!

    No need to get a better picture. I can tell you what it is by your description. It's the electronic fuel pressure sensor. It's held into the top of the driver's side fuel rail by two small bolts. It has a harness connector on the top and a vacuum connector on the side. By the way, if that's...
