    aftermarket cams and vaccum?

    My brakes are fine too and I'm pulling around 15 degrees at idle.

    What can I use to clean terminals?

    I had replaced the alternator because of a wiring issue, which destroyed it. How do you replace that post? Do you have to take the case off the alternator?

    What can I use to clean terminals?

    I fried the alternator boot on the terminal on the back of the alternator. The burnt rubber gunked the terminal all up. I've already used a wire brush on it, but there's still a bunch of stuff on there. What else can I use to clean the terminal? And has anyone replaced that wire before? I...

    ODB codes reader...

    To clarify the use of these, you will need to count beeps or flashes of the indicator light and decode the code with a manual. This is not like an OBD II, it's significantly more annoying. The better ODB I scanners are expensive.

    Installing Steeda Underdrive Pulleys for Beginners

    Why did you get that woman to pose with the wrench as if she's working on the car? I'm so confused.

    I am looking at a 2004 GT, let me know if this is the wrong place to post...

    What about that was difficult to understand? With the cars being that close in performance, basic bolt-ons isn't going to make a Mach 1 walk a GTO. A few tenths isn't easily. With a consistent driver, yes, but otherwise, it can be made up for.

    It's really hard to beat the value of a 2V PI GT, they're so cheap and can be in the 12s with bolt-ons.

    SPECII-vs-SPECII+

    The CF is as buttery soft as stock. If I were to replace mine, I'd get another in a heartbeat. I've had two of those clutches, a CF II and a DF. They felt the same, since they have the same PP.

    :lol: erroneous Stock for stock, it's a driver's race. Modded Mach 1 vs stock GTO, I wouldn't go as far to say "easily". If that GTO is modded, it's trouble.

    SPECII-vs-SPECII+

    I have a Stage II in my GT and it feels noooooowhere near stock. It's stiff as hell and grabs quick. I went from driving home in the Cobra one day and took the GT out and I could barely drive it without stalling at first. I also forgot how stiff it was. If you're worried about pedal feel, I...

    WTF is with ford's window motors?

    The worst is that damn cup in the door. My seal leaks right in the center front window at the crease and rain fills that sucker right up. You don't know how mad this makes me when I forget and I put my hand in the cup to pull the door closed.

    What are you paying for insurance??

    Please, none of you have it worse than New Jersey...and New Jersey just got a little better too. I pay like maybe $1100-1200 for a 6 mo policy for full-coverage w/$500 deductible. The GT isn't insured, but I was paying about the same on a different company. Stupid Liberty Mutual wanted $3200...

    head swap

    I'm guessing all the top end stuff, heads, intake, TB, elbow, cable. I'm not sure if you need to go COP or not.

    performance shocks/struts?

    You can sometimes find 03/04 piece on Ebay, at least as far as struts and shocks go. I'd prob go with a pro-kit and one of those beefier IRS kits that MM or Steeda sell.

    Stock alarm: are there different modes?

    It seems like when I disconnected the battery the alarm went into a more promiscuous mode. I don't remember it auto-setting when I left the door unlocked and stuff like that. It's really annoying. Is there any way to change this? I didn't see anything in the manual.
