    2007 Crappy 2 Piece Spark Plugs

    Just take them out (following the TSB recommended procedure), put a little anti-sieze on the barrel and put them back in. I use Brisk but I'm F/I so had to change to colder plugs and close up the gap. I take mine out occasionally to read them and re-apply anti-sieze. No problem at all getting...

    4.6 3V to 4V Heads

    Forced induction really wakes these cars up. I don't see alot of 3V to 4V head swaps.

    Shopping for a new clutch

    The OEM slave and throwout bearing are one unit - there is no separate throwout bearing. As for clutch I'd do the McLeod RST for a N/A car and RXT for F/I. The OEM slave will work fine with that clutch. I'd also recommend getting the matching flywheel from McLeod.

    5.0 Coyote crate engine

    I'm going to give that engine a year or two to settle out. Let other guys do the research on where the limits are. The 4.6 combinations are pretty solid for whatever performance range you're looking at. Unless you enjoy being on the bleeding edge of development and money is no object I'd stay...

    Spring build, Input?

    The GT500 transmission is a 6-speed. You'll need a GT500 shifter, handle, ball (if you want the 6-speed pattern), crossmember, and driveshaft. For the engine, you'll still be aluminum block, 4.6l, 3V heads whereas the GT500 is a cast iron block, 5.4l, 4V heads. It's not that difficult, you...

    Spring build, Input?

    Dual fuel pump upgrade from FRPP (minimum) - or go straight to a return style system from LP (preferred). I bought my six speed conversion kit from Steeda (TR6060, GT500 crossmember, 1-piece aluminum driveshaft, FRPP shifter). The TR6060 is the GT500 trans. The shifter did not include a...

    TPMS

    The sensors are reusable and most wheelshops can code them to the car/corner at installation.

    Spring build, Input?

    My recommendations for what it's worth: Buy a built shortblock - Livernois for example with 9.1:1 compression. Use all ARP hardware. Get their crank scraper and a second pan gasket. Use your stock heads and cams. Pulley the KB for 16 psi boost. The aftermarket cranks only come in an...

    My Mustang-Modifications

    Unlikely you'll get there with that blower. It's advisable to do a forged bottom end for that power level (500WHP) as well. What do you use the car for (ie: daily driver, nice weather car, drag racing, etc)? Is it a manual or auto?

    Mustang lost power after 4.10

    Are you driving with the traction control on or off? Is it possible that you break the rear loose easier with the 4.10's and therefore the TCS kicks in and "modulates" the power?

    TPMS

    The tire shops around here will no longer install wheels/tires without ensuring that the TPMS sensors are installed and operating when you pick up the car. The courts apparently expect them to not be a party to defeating a mandated safety system - whether the owner wants them to or not.

    FordCustomGraphics.com custom designed my dream car

    I can't count how many mustangs I've seen with the vinyl stripes cracking, peeling, fading etc. A friend of mine has two Shelby GT's and is fighting with Shelby over stripes than have not held up at all. Apparently Ford supplied the stripes and a Shelby sub-contractor applied them blah blah...

    Keep it, or trade it in?

    Do a few mods now - gears, tune. Pay it off then mod the hell out of it later (Whipple HO, forged shortblock, upgraded clutch). It'll be your car and it'll kick N/A ass.

    Help wanted - Edelbrock Supercharger

    A couple local guys just ran into the same thing (borrowed my spare TB to test with). Turns out it was in the tune. PM me if you want a tuner contact to talk to about what he changed.

    Ford Racing Whipple 550 kit issues, please help

    My Whipple kit has a metered air supply line from the intake tube to the passenger side valve cover and a air discharge line from the driver's side cover into the intake plenum behind the throttle body. In the install instructions they say to take the hard tube out of the stock discharge line...
