    Need some help - codes 121 and 172

    I did test the range and it was fine. Although, for some reason if I went too fast my digital meter would kind of flash and not read for a second. If I went really slow it never showed a dead spot. I'm not sure why the meter flashes like that if I go too fast, but I've seen in act like that...

    Need some help - codes 121 and 172

    So here's the problem. My car is running great at WOT, but has a few bugs at part throttle. About half the time I drive my car it will essentially have NO power are part throttle (seems worse when it's hot out, but not sure if that is a certainity or not). When I say part thorttle I mean...

    AEM's Other Side

    Yeah an aem was top two or three on my list for this summer. I think I'll be crossing it out. I cannot stand bad customer service, especially on a product such as a complex standalone system that you will probably have questions about at some point. I might try a PMS and see how it goes...

    turbo questions

    42's would be perfect and you can get ford racing ones. Many guys make 550rwhp on 42's. Many with only a single 255lph pump too.

    Blew the head gasket again

    220 isn't that much in my opinion. That wouldn't blow the head gasket, but probably got that hot because of the gasket. My car gets near that temp when it's running perfectly fine. If I remember correctly the Haynes manual has pretty low torque numbers. With iron heads most guys on...

    Finalizing my turbo exhaust

    It always seems odd to me when exhaust is coming out anywhere except for the rear of the vehicle and a single muffler on a mustang just seems odd as well. You do realize that it will smell more right?? With the nice safe tune you're getting nice raw fuel smoke will be invading us when cruizing...

    Gauge cluster swap?

    It's easy. You just replace the stock bulbs with direct fit push in LED's from superbrightleds.com.

    Ready for the dyno tune

    You are wrong. Just because the 195 is not making the car run at 195 doesn't mean a 180 wouldn't help. Are you telling me that the stat we just put in is a 195? If so, what's were you thinking. I'm also slightly confused. Do you not look at my temp when you drive my car ALL the time...

    Gauge cluster swap?

    I'm really confused. That doesn't make any sense. The pointer motors are usually part of the circuit board so how could you have a new cluster with the old pointers? Or better yet, why would you?

    Gauge cluster swap?

    I bet your stock pointers had a brass hub, didn't they??

    Gauge cluster swap?

    Looks pretty good. I assume you must have had the clear pointer with orange/yellow paint on the bottom. ?? The ones in my car were molded in yellow/orange. Therefore you would not be able to change the color by painting the bottom a different color, because it would clash with the color of...

    Gauge cluster swap?

    I might know a little about this topic. I work for a pointer company that supplies somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40% of all pointers (primarily automotive) all around the world. In fact we made the SN95 pointers and I designed the 2010 S197 pointers (in accordance to the styling that or...

    Having some SERIOUS issues after intake swap...HELP!!

    My car has sounded like that before after a HG swap but went away after about 5 min. I guess the lifters just needed to get pumped. It sounded almost identical. If you didn't take the valve convers off I don't see what the intake could have done to cause that noise. Make sure the rockers...

    Whats better for TB acufab or BBK??

    This is an easy decision as you can see by people's responses. I agree!!!! Unless you want EGR I hope you aren't running that spacer on there. If you want a nice EGR delete plate let me know as I sell them on Ebay and Corral. I have both 3/8" thick and 1" billet spacers with 75mm or 90mm...
