    4.6 Dohc Build

    What block are you planning to run 0.20" over on? That is a 3.752" bore. I dont even think you could get away with that on the BOSS 5.0 with a stock 3.70" bore. I know there are MAX BORE 3.750 sleeves, and those were mainly on race engines because the water passages are so degraded, that it...

    Is The Oil Pressure Too Low?

    Nope, its fine. The gauge, well, it really isn't a gauge. If you have 6 psi of oil pressure, the gauge activates and goes somewhere in the middle. If you don't have 6 psi, it just doesn't move.

    Dyno Sheet Questions

    Ok, start by reading THIS thread. 1) By reading that, and a couple other posts, people are flat-lining HP just above 5000 rpms. This is because of a couple reasons, partly because manifold is horribly restrictive, and flows less than a stock PI plastic intake. The second was that the blower...

    Dyno Sheet Questions

    Hmm..... Ok, why cut the run at 5250? If you ran it out to 6k, it should make an extra little bit of power. Maybe 330-340? Although the 00 Saleen was rated at 350 brake hp, that is less than 300 rwhp with with 15% drivetrain loss, and you are already at 321. That is GOOD. The Series 1...

    Gauges

    Gauges for what? It doesnt look like you have many mods.....are you just tryijng to make it look "cool"? On my built setup, I have a wideband, boost, fuel pressure, oil pressure, and heat exchanger temp. They all serve a specific purpose. I didn't put any gauges in until I had a...

    75 Mpg Rpm

    I have 3.73s (might be moving to 4.10s soon) with a T-56 Magnum 6-speed with a .80 5th gear and .63 6th gear. 2500 rpms is nothing. I know a lot of auto guys running 4.30s and driving on the highway. Greater performance will decrease gas mileage, more gas mileage will decrease performance...

    75 Mpg Rpm

    City: Represents urban driving, in which a vehicle is started with the engine cold and driven in stop-and-go rush hour traffic. HERE is where all fuel economy information is located. What a car's GOVERNMENT REGISTERED MPG is for city, highway, and combined. My driving is pretty much mixed...

    Am I Missing Something

    The pulleys really don't do that much. People will claim "they free up 10-15hp", I highly doubt it. If you do get pulleys, make sure to get ones like Steeda or any other one that replaces the crank pulley. The "piggyback" style pulleys have been known to cause issues. The rails....you don't...

    75 Mpg Rpm

    250 miles on a tank is not crappy gas mileage! If you used every drop of gas in the tank (15.7 gallons), that would be almost 16 mpg. If you actually only have to fill up with about 13 gallons (when its on E, and not OUT of gas), then you would be getting almost 20 mpg. Those are combined...

    Turn Signal Lever

    One of my friends had a similar issue. His would not stay on turning right, so he had to hold it, and turning left, it would not turn off, so he had to click it back to the middle. After doing that a while, wipers and stuff started activating randomly...... He just bought a new switch from...

    Modsfor 97 Cobra

    I think you are asking a lot for $1000 to get 30-50 hp. Nitrous would be the only way I think you are going to get that kind of power for the price you are saying. Start with the basics. Exhaust/Mid-pipe (offroad if you don't have emissions) Intake (K&N Drop-in of something like that)...

    75 Mpg Rpm

    I laughed for a minute when I thought you were asking "What RPM are you get 75 MPG at?" I am happy when I get 4-6 mpg in town! What car is this for? I used the APEX Garage Gear Ratio Speed Calculator, and here is what I got. For the 4R70W, with stock gearing of 1st: 2.84 2nd: 1.55...

    2003 Mach 1 Question

    It doesn't look too bad, but I would be worried about the automatic. First, as I posted in your other thread, I am not a fan of Mach 1 automatics. They run the same rotating assembly with the 6 bolt crank as the GT, thus, limiting its redline to ~6000 RPMs. The manual has a forged 8 bolt...

    2001 Gt Suspension Issues

    When my shocks were going out, my ABS would flash when I would try to stop at a stoplight or sign. I also got a lot of wheelhop when taking off. I am not talking about stomping on the brakes or flooring it from the stoplight, just in normal driving. I did not have the "bounce" because I had...

    I Need Your Advice Can You Please Help

    Kinda sorta...... The auto Mach 1's have the cast 6-bolt crank instead of the 5-speed 8-bolt forged crank. This reduces the RPM redline on the auto version to like 6k. It is 6800 in the 5-speed version. If it were me, in a Mach 1......go MANUAL! The auto is giving up power!

    New Clutch

    You left out a lot of information. Current power, future plans? If you are high horsepower, I would recommend the clutch I have. The SPEC Twin SS....if not, then there are other options. Centerforce Dual Friction...pretty good. SPEC Stage 1's.....ok. McLeod....good, just depends on which...

    To Go For Led's Or No?

    The Maguires headlight cleaning kit has sanding sponges, a polishing drill attachment, plastic polish, and plastic protectant to keep it from discoloring/fogging as fast. My factory ford headlight that I still have on the drivers side is pristine, I have never had to polish or clean it. My...

    Door Panels?

    They might be able to recover the panel. There are plastic dyes that work well, but be careful with the paint. It can and will chip/scratch easily, and discolor in sunlight. The good part of paint, it can always be touched up!

    Mustang Aesthetic Help

    Holding out hope may not be a good idea. Consider, the last SN95 car is 10 years old. There will be fewer and fewer companies making stuff for the SN95 vehicles. I know companies like abcexclusive.com had deals that if you could get X# of orders with money in hand, they would make the...
