I don’t think that’s going to be a tune issue then. I’d probably start looking for misfires. Coils, plugs, injectors, and so on

Did the car ever run correctly? Is this a new development or has it done this since the blower was initially installed?

Replacing rings and bearings would not warrant a rebalance. When you tear down, I would check everything and if it looks good, reuse it. Why are you tearing down a fresh engine?

Definitely not $500 worth of work. You may have to remove the throttle body, but that’s a case by case basis, just depends on clearance.

Cranking with the pump unplugged only relieves fuel pressure so it doesn’t spray everywhere. The rail will still have fuel in it. It’s a pretty straight forward process. Unplug all the injectors, remove the intake cover if you have it, then disconnect the fuel line. That will leave some fuel...

I certainly don’t, I started with 4.10 gears. The car went faster with 3.31 gears.

That’s a lot different. The auto 6 & 10 speed cars don’t really like as much gear because of how low first gear is.

Did you have 4.10 with an auto car?

My 98 is coyote swapped and has a 6r80. I just built the rear end and went from 4.10 down to 3.31 I lost no ET and picked up mph in the quarter. The 60’ got a just a touch softer. I would not bother with gears.

I like that carrier bearing. Why would you do this over a one piece driveshaft?

Did you guys just change the bushing or did you change the upper arm as well? This is the last piece of suspension that I need to change on my 07. Been chasing bumping and banging ever since I got the car, it’s better now, but still kind of there.

I just swapped from gt500 upper mounts to maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates. They installed perfectly and work really well, but they are extremely loud over rough roads. I’m seriously thinking about going back to gt500 mounts because they are that loud. It’s a real kick in the balls to...

I haven’t seen any videos on the process, but this thread has a lot of good info in it. You’ll obviously have to pull the trans back down, and get a new slave cylinder. Once you have that, you can take your measurements. https://www.s197forum.com/threads/throwout-bearing-shim.129167/

Thank you for that. The fella a couple posts up linked your page already, I didn’t know it was yours though, so thank you. I’m guessing mine got ripped off at some point because it is not there. I’ll have to do something.

Do you have any pictures of what you did?
