    Got my Hurst shifter today

    What a great shifter! Short throw nothin' - it's more like no throw! Really tight and it practically shifts into 3rd by itself. I highly recommend this shifter to anyone thinking about getting rid of the POS stocker. :banana:

    When/where to get a dyno tune in D/FW

    1. At what point in your list of mods done does one decide it's worth the cost of a dyno tune, or do you wait until you're finished modding? 2. Where in the Dallas, TX area is the best place to go? See mod's in signature - I'm installing my FRPP 4.10 gear next weekend and I hope to do a...

    Ordered 4.10's

    I too was going to measure the pinion depth using th e MHD method. Really the only thing I haven't resolved is a bearing seperater/puller. How hard is it to find one of these gems?

    Ordered 4.10's

    Well, I just ordered my FRPP 4.10 gear and I'm going to install it myself. I've read every how-to I can find and it doesn't really sound that hard if you have the proper tools. So I also bought a 1" dial indicator with a magnetic base, a dial caliper and a buddy of mine has the torque wrenches...

    Tremec 3650 TSB results

    I had the TSB performed on my car at 35K miles after they replaced the tranny and then the shifter. My 3650 still grinds and now they refuse to do anything else to it because it is out of warranty. NEVER take your car to North Central Ford in Richardson.

    Dumb question about exhuast

    Can you use cats on long tubes or are they strickly o/r? I want a Prochamber with longtubes but I'm not sure I can get away with an o/r pipe in Dallas. Do I need to re-think my exhaust plans or is there a way to get a state inspection in Dallas without a hassle?

    ATTN Tremec 3650 owners in DFW, Texas

    For what it's worth, it took me three tries at North Central Ford (1. replaced tranny, 2. replaced shifter, 3. performed TSB) and I still have the 1-2 grind. My car is now out of warranty (was at 35,990 when I had the TSB performed) and I will not pay to have Ford's F-Up fixed. Have you asked...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I give up... Well, I finally got the dealer to perform the TSB (with only 47 miles left under warranty). They had it for 3 days and I got it back to discover the same grinding/notchiness as before. I have a new tranny, new shifter and now the TSB and no change. What a load. I guess I'll...

    Another mid-pipe ?

    I've been considering a mid-pipe and headers for a while, posted a couple of threads and determined that the new BBK shorties might be my best option (so I can be sure to fit cats on for emissions). I am also pretty sure I want to go with Dr. Gas to go with my Flow's. I've listened to the...

    Torque schooling

    That makes sense to me. Thank you . Now does anyone know of an economical way to get 600 lb. ft. of torque??

    Torque schooling

    OK, we all know (OK, most of us) the what RWHP means and we know that torque is the seat-of-the-pants (SOTP) thrill you get on acceleration. Please don't reply to fix my words or grammar; that is not not what this thread is all about. Here goes: Torque is seen expressed as xxx Ft. Lbs...

    Wheel problem

    Factory warranty on a bent wheel? Are you sure?

    Wheel problem

    I have chrome Bullit wheels (stock size) with 245/45/ZR17's on them. I was at Discount Tire yesterday to have my routine rotate & balance when we discovered that one wheel has a flat spot on the inside requireing over 9 oz's of weight to attempt to balance it. We never could get it balanced...

    To Long Tube or not to Long Tube

    I posted a couple of months ago asking about the emissions thing because I had been reading the same thing in some posts. I live in Dallas County (TX) and we do the sniffer test so I was worried. The replies I received then were that headers and mid-pipes have nothing to do with emissions...

    To Long Tube or not to Long Tube

    If I plan to stay N/A, will I see much gain (HP or TQ) or will it generallly only help with forced induction? If N/A gains are worthwhile, is it low or high end? I'm still a newbie to mods and there is almost too much to digest. Thanks.

    Speed-Cal or chip or wait for Dyno Tune?

    Based on my previous post I have decided to go with the 4.10 gear (I have a 5 speed vert with no plans to go forced induction). Now should I get a Speed Cal and sell it later, get an off the shelf chip, a programmer or put up with an inaccurate speedo until I have all my mod's and get a dyno...

    What to start with...

    I have only done a very few basic mod's - removed silencer, K&N replacement filter and Flowmaster mufflers. I am on a tight budget, have no desire to race at the track (or street really) but I hate having a "stock" vert. I want the neck snapping torque (eventually) but I don't think a S/C is...

    Exhaust upgrades and passing the sniff test

    Thanks. I've heard sound clips of the Dr Gas X and I think I'm in love with that sound! I really want to upgrade my exhaust but don't want to shoot myself in the foot. Can you cat a Dr Gas?
