    Exhaust pipe size vs muffler size vs tips...

    I recently had a custom setup built for my car (You probably read the post) anyways .. the guy said the stock pipes were 2". .. He wound up going with 2 and a quarter inch pipes on mine with 40 series flowmasters of I believe the same size.. The end result is very pleasant. I have more power...

    300hp N/A v6, how to.

    someone had mentioned that Dyno simulation software earlier.... I have a copy of that ... but the problem is it's an older copy so... It has the 4.0L but it does not have presets for the proper heads/cam etc.. I did my best to get it as close to what Ford says it should be stock...

    Yea thanks for the replies everyone .. after a little bit of an argument he took it back today and he redid the whole job... It looks and performs 100% better so it's all good. Nice response .. a lot more torque at around the 4000rpm area. (accidentally chirped the tires pulling out of the...

    I Need Some Help PLEASE

I need to find/am looking for links to show this idiot that what he is trying to pedal me is bull****. Because I am at the point where I want my money back for this crap job he...

    300hp N/A v6, how to.

    I am not an expert ...but IMO .. ppl lean away from forced induction because it puts more stress on the engine ... Think about what happens when you force air down the intake of the car faster then the engine itself can take it on it's own. it's the similar to forcing air into a balloon ...

    muffler sizes

    I just got 40 series today and I got back kinda early so the car was still on the lift .. anyways IMO it's tight in there.. very close tolerances.

    Exhaust Sound CLips

    Did the headers require any real work to put in? or do they have enough clearance in the engine bay to bolt right up?

    Hood pins? Should I do it?

    Berserker... It's just my oppinion not meant to stomp on anyones dreams or upset anyone ... But hood pins have a real purpose (I posted that purpose) if your not using them for that purpose I think it's silly to have them... trust me your not going that fast on the street for enough of...

    Hood pins? Should I do it?

    In my thinking .. I always thought hood pins were made for ppl who have off road/strip cars with an aftermarket hood on them. Yes they would stop the hood from flying off .. But In my thinking I thought the use was based on the idea that things like latches and hinges made weight. ..and because...

    What is wrong with my shifting?

    I don't ever force it in gear or extreme shift. I forced it once or twice and I got a nice grind and I learned my lesson. I thought I kind of made that clear in my last post. Extreme would be throwing it in second comming off a highway at 50 or some trash you can hear her spin up like a top and...

    What is wrong with my shifting?

    the V6 has the T5 the V8 has the Tremec ... it happens really anytime warm or not. What you describe other then the timing of it, is exactly right. Sometimes it will happen if I come to a stop and I am in 3rd and go around and try to pop it right into 1st too. Especially if I am still...

    What is wrong with my shifting?

I assure...

    Rally Stripes Question

    Most Tint shops would do this kind of work right? I am guessing I can/may need to supply the tape. Not that this is a problem since it's easily gotten. I am still trying to decide if I want to go black or if I just want to try a darker shade of silver .. I think it might look more subtle/...

    Rally Stripes Question

    I really want rally stripes put on the car I think it will look a lot nicer.. Thing is .. Prices on everything in my area are expensive body shops are no exception. So while I know the right way is to have them painted on. I find myself considering the shortcut and just have them stuck on...
