Hey everyone, I gotta question.

Well first off here what happened, me and this modded 05 GT race I killed him by about 7 cars up to 85-90mph... Right afterwards my battery light came on and the car ran like crap and then died out (battery). The next morning I put a new battery and it did it again, it was my alternator. So I changed my alternator and a few other thing I had to change fuel pump, plugs. On one of my plugs the ceramic had cracked off. After everything was changed the car was runnin real rough and tapping outta both ends of the exhaust louder on the pass. side.

The car right now is still tapping and runnin rough but is still runnin super strong and fast.
My mods are a pullied SQ trim powerpipe, bolt-ons and exhaust (off road H).

Please let me know what you think I didn't have time to check it out completly but its runnin strong so I don't think I damaged anything xpensive. I hoping and thinkin its my xhaust (leak)....


Joe

I dunno bud hopefully not a big piece of the plug fell into the chamber or that could have done some damage. Hard to tell might want to have a stang shop look at it
