    bye bye motor!

    I don't know the tq specs offhand....i took it into my buddies shop, he did the work on it, he said every freakin' plug was loose:jaw: he's run into that problem w/ 5.4 motors as well! he torqued them to spec though as far as I know and he installed them when the motor was completely cold.

    bye bye motor!

    I just used a 3/8" ratchet.....yeah I wasn't expecting any trouble, i've done plenty of plug changes w/ no problem, although this was my first on a stang.:shrug:

    Whats the best looking front bumper?

    I like: Saleen, Roush, Cobra R, 03-04 cobra, Stalker (but just the front bumper cover for 99-04). I too agree it depends on what else you've got appearance wise. Oh yeah, mach 1 chin spoilers rule!

    bye bye motor!

    Yes I recently had replaced the plugs myself, I would say about 10k miles ago. the one thread is history but my buddy is gonna helicoil it, check the other threads, and I told him just to replace all the plugs, I figure they should all be the same brand in the same condition . I am relieved that...

    K&N FIPK

    I have the FIPK2 and I love it! looks good under the hood and makes a nice performance improvement. In my opinion CAI IS worth it. Just go with a good make and I would stay away from fender well intakes, my friend had one and drove through a huge puddle accidently, goobye motor!:nonono:

    Should i be mad or what?

    well it is an aem:rlaugh: i've driven stangs with cai and one's w/out. there is a difference, throttle is crisper, you can hear the motor better, adds some hp and tq. if you have one w/ a metal inlet pipe it is a joke though, because it's just gonna get hot from the engine bay heat.

    96' KB cobra vs 02 KB GT...

    good race... cobra wins unless he flails somehow. my opinion. he's got more stock power and more rpm band to work with.

    End of the Month Mayham

    sorry to hear about that man! I've heard of the "monthly ticket qouta" thing myself. sounds like you ran into some real hard a**es! Look into how this will affect your points and how much it's gonna cost. If it doesn't hurt your points you should just pay it off.....i know i know....the man is...

    Should i be mad or what?

    well those are great tires, maybe it's just getting to the point that you need a fresh set, having 4.10 gears and all. I don't think that your buddies aluminum flywheel is doing much for him if he's not forced induction. my buddy has an 02 gt with aluminum f/w and he plans on adding a blower...

    Should i be mad or what?

    what kind of tires you have? maybe he's just hooking solidly the whole way and you're spinning more than you realize. He has 3.08's? did he switch down from 3.27's? that's weird. I think that cai tb/plenum combo makes a good bit of power regardless of what some people may say because it really...

    What Headers to Get?

    I've heard good things about bbk l/t's, JBA's, hooker, but I don't know which will bolt up to an auto. trans. car. I think the bassani mid-lengths will?

    NOOB Questions: 04 GT Vert

    Overall the 99-04 GT's are great cars if unmolested. The only big problem i've heard of is the intake manifold on 99-01 gt's cracking at the coolant crossover (because it is a plastic manifold.) Ford solved this in the 02-up gt's by making the crossover out of aluminum. So you're safe there. I...

    Those with Superchargers and gears please come in

    +1 it'll get you into the powerband quicker and you'll wonder why the hell ford didn't give you these stock!. 3.73's should do fine and if you get on the highway you'll be glad you didn't go steeper!
