    Will car pass smog in CA with ported heads?

    I have 60 days to get it smogged. I have to go to Tucson and pick up my stock H Pipe, get it installed, and then drive around with it for a while so the computer can get used to it. I will probably be getting it smogged in about 6 weeks. I guess I should ask this while were on the subject: Am I...

    Will car pass smog in CA with ported heads?

    Well, Im not too close to where you are, but Im not all that far either, maybe an hour and a half. I am currently living in Woodland Hills(Los Angeles area), which is about 100 miles south of Santa Barbara. I guess when the time comes I might just take you up on your offer. Thanks

    Will car pass smog in CA with ported heads?

    Cool! So, as long as I get a clean tune for the smog test, and I disconnect my MIL eliminators (shouldnt matter any way with the stock H Pipe back on) I should be ok. If I remember correctly bdcardinal you work at a referee station or something like that? what is the verdict on engine swaps in...

    Will car pass smog in CA with ported heads?

    I have recently moved back to CA from NY and have to replace my Pro Chamber with the stock H-Pipe. I want to replace the lost power with something that is "legal" so I was thinking of putting on some stage 2 ported heads (with a tune). I know I wont pass if I use aftermarket cams with the...

    Normal stock clutch life?

    My car used to get side ways on 1-2 shift until I got subframe connectors. Not that my answer has anything to do with your question.

    Estimate how fast I was going.

    I have gone 137 with my mods. I cant remember the RPM's, but I remember thinking this car could definately go 150 if I kept on it.

    sceptical about 4.10

    Why is everyone affraid of 4:10's? These gears are perfectly streetable in cars with overdrive. Hell, I used to have them in my 66 chevy that didnt have an overdrive and they worked out alright. Dont fear the gear. 4:10s are great on the highway. I think I am turning 2500rpm at 75 mph. I can...

    Burn out in Manual

    You got to get it to the point were the clutch is all the way out. If you dont, the only thing you will be burning up is your clutch.

    Pulleys in Arizona?

    I used to live in AZ and had no problems with pulleys and the heat. The problem I did have was that the guy who put the pulleys on (Chuck Hawk Automotive) forgot to plug my fan back in (I guess he un-pluged it for easier access to the front of the engine.) This did cause my car to boil over...

    Do you think ford will sell the 3V heads?

    I dont think we will need to worry about the 05 stangs too much. If Im not mistaken they still dont have forged internals, so they shouldnt be able to make more power using the stock short block than we can. It might be easier for them to achieve extra HP, but they will still need to do all the...

    Will this fix P0153?

    Do you have MIL eliminators on your car? If not, you need them, even with a catted X pipe.

    Those running w/ no CATS, please come in...

    The dealership doesnt have to work on the car if it has no cats. The dealership may refuse to work on the car because they can get fined for working on a car that doesnt have its emmissions system.

    5.0 owner helping a 4.6 owner

    There are a ton of us in the 4.6 world with the 4:10/5 speed combo. Personally I wouldnt get anything less than 4:10's.

    Problems With Ford!!!

    I havent had the problem (yet) but I am pretty sure that they have to fix it wether you are under the warranty or not since Ford issued a TSB about the problem. Can you go to a different Ford dealer?

    4.10's without dragracials?

    Get 4:10's, you most probably wont experience any real traction problems. The only time I have any problems is when I dump at 2000rpm or higher. If you ease off the line you shouldnt have any problems.

    4.10 gears (smart guys in here)

    I just drove my 03 from NY to CA with 4:10s (This is the second time I have driven the car cross country this year) and I got 25 mpg, with a high of 26 mpg. I did the whole trip at around 75 mph. Mileage in the city sucks, I get around 14 mpg, but I think thats because I get on it quite a bit...
