    Anyone with Fox Lake or VT Stage 2s and Comp xe262ah ?

    I plan to stay N/A for the next year but if there's a cam out there similar to the Comp xe262ah and it keeps my options open for a twin screw down the road then I would opt for that. I haven't done much research on blower cams. I see that VT has a Stage 2 and Stage 3 blower cam but I'm sure...

    Anyone with Fox Lake or VT Stage 2s and Comp xe262ah ?

    From what I've seen looks like 30hp from the cams are around the norm...but here's the deal....cams are $550 and you get about 30hp....Stage II heads are $1,800 but the gain is only 10-15 hp more? I'm wondering if I'm better off just getting the cams and spending the money i planned to on heads...

    Anyone with Fox Lake or VT Stage 2s and Comp xe262ah ?

    Yea, I meant Fox Lake or VT Stage 2 heads with comp 262 cams. I've got 3.73s already in so that should help with the low end. I plan to open up the intake with Accufab and C&L components and thinking about shorty headers and magnaflox xpipe.

    Anyone with Fox Lake or VT Stage 2s and Comp xe262ah ?

    Got the heads off the car and just trying to figure out what would be best to go with my otherwise stock n/a. Does anyone have Fox Lake or VT Stage 2's with Comp xe262ah? Questions are: 1) is there much lope with this setup (i want to minimize lope and rough idle) 2) how much hp can i...

    Bad lash adjusters???

    I had a problem with something stuck in the intake valve. I removed the obstruction but then the valve no longer worked. I removed the valve cover today and saw that the rocker for the intake valve had fallen out. I placed the rocker back on but noticed that the lash adjuster is sticking way...

    Metal stuck in intake valve....how to remove?

    Yea, I'd like to find out what head/cam combination is going to give me the most for what I need. They all seem to be around the same price bracket. Around $3K with new cams. I'm looking at putting on a KB 1.7 later in the year so I don't need any radical cams with a big lope. I think I...

    Help! Car runs like crap after intake swap and fuel pump replace

    FYI...I pulled the intake back off and found that the problem was that a sleeve from the old intake had fallen into one of the intake ports which jammed it wide open. I started another thread to figure out how to get it out of the port and what to do after that's done.

    Metal stuck in intake valve....how to remove?

    Yea, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get the head to the machine shop or replace it. I don't believe the head is damaged but there is something that looks like a metal sleeve that comes part way into the port. It surrounds the valve stem. I can see that a small piece of it has broken off...

    Metal stuck in intake valve....how to remove?

    Ya, I agree, I'm going to have to pull the head. How big of a job is this? I'm wondering if I should attempt this myself or have it towed to a shop.

    Metal stuck in intake valve....how to remove?

    Well, I tried to pick the part out of the valve by rotating the crank for when the valve was open and then using a magnetic pickup but it was jammed in there too hard. I went to Sears and got extra long nose pliers and was able to move it over to the side in the port and then pull it out. It...

    Metal stuck in intake valve....how to remove?

    Yea, I would imagine so. If that's the case what does that mean? Time for new heads?

    Metal stuck in intake valve....how to remove?

    Unfortunately the piece is stuck there good. I didn't realize it was in there until I put everything back together and the car wasn't running right. I did a compression check and found that the cyl had no pressure. After taking everything back apart, I rotated the engine but the piece is...

    Metal stuck in intake valve....how to remove?

    I recently swapped my intake manifold and looks like some piece of metal dropped down into the head and is now jamming the intake valve open. Any suggestions on how to remove it? It's jammed in there pretty good but i can wiggle it around a little. Can I push down on the valve to give me some...

    Help! Car runs like crap after intake swap and fuel pump replace

    Hey guys, thanks for the advice! You guys were right on track. I finally broke down and bought a fuel guage and compression guage. I ran the car (it was stumbling badly) and found that the fuel rail had 38lbs of pressure which is within specs for my 2001 GT. I ran compression test on all...

    Help! Car runs like crap after intake swap and fuel pump replace

    Happy New Years for you all in Central and Eastern time zones!!! In regards to my car, I checked and double checked everything. After the holiday I'll have to stop by AutoZone and pick up a fuel pressure and compression guages to check to see if I'm within specs. If that doesn't tell me...

    Help! Car runs like crap after intake swap and fuel pump replace

    This past week I did some work on my 2001 GT. I first replaced the intake manifold and then replaced the fuel pump and filter. After all was done and buttoned back up I started the car, and it started up ok but it ran like crap. With the hood open it sounds like a cross between a diesel...

    2001 GT Fuel Pump Replace - Stock or Focus SVT?

    Thanks for the advice guys. Down the road I'd like to go with a SC (either Vortech or KB) so I think I'll order the SVT Focus pump tonight. I can't believe that my fuel pump went out with only 44k miles but oh well...at least it'll give me a chance to upgrade and look forward to future mods.

    2001 GT Fuel Pump Replace - Stock or Focus SVT?

    Ok, I'm pretty sure my fuel pump is shot. I get power to the inertia switch and when I wired directly to the black/pink wire the fuel pump didn't come on. So now I'm wondering what fuel pump I should go with. I've got a couple of options I'm considering which all cost about the same: 1...

    Subframe connectors and control arms

    I have Steeda UCAs and LCAs and MM full length subframe connectors. These mods made a huge difference on my vert along with the strut tower brace. The car is a lot more solid in the corners, there's no more movement in the rear axle, and I don't have wheel hop anymore. I'd say go for it.

    2001 Issues?

    The only problem I've had with my used 01 is the vibration in the wheels especially aroud 50-55 mph. I've replaced springs and shocks/struts, rebalanced the wheels, replaced bushings and the annoying shimmy is still there. It's not as bad as it used to be but it's still there. If the one your...
