    Stalling On Cold Start After Winter Storage

    Hello everyone. Need help diagnosing a problem. I did indeed do a brief search but didn't find anything that resembled what I am seeing. Took the car out of winter storage and on a cold start, the engine revs to about 1000 then drops to 500. It will eventually stall if I don't apply some...

    Hello everyone. Just curious, does anyone else with Stainless Works LT's have them hang low? My cats are 2.75" off the deck. The car is riding on Roush springs and a 26.6" tire all the way around.

    IAT2 and Coolant Temps Are The Same?

    Hello everyone. I need your advice on how to proceed. Just had the Aeroforce Interceptor installed and am quite surprised and confused as to why the numbers I'm seeing for the IAT2 and Coolant temps. They are identical. I'm using the VMP Triple Pass Heat Exchanger and the Bosch Intercooler...

    Setting Slope and Intercept for Oil Pressure

    Hello everyone. Just had the Aeroforce Interceptor installed along with an oil pressure sensor. I set the slope to 37.5 and the intercept to -18.7 as the instructions say. When I turn the key but not start it, oil pressure reads -1.X for some reason. When I start the engine is reads 60.X...

    Hello everyone. Installed a new parking brake handle in my 2005 GT and broke the adjuster nut off in the process. Seemed to happen way too easily. Anyway, a got the nut back on 3 or 4 threads, I also added Gorilla cement. The ebrake holds for now, but how about long term. Or should I just...

    Ford Performance A-Arms

    Hello everyone. Just installed the Ford Performance A-Arms and have a question on the torquing of the bolts. Do all of the bolts need to be torqued at ride height or is it only the small bushing?

    Oil Leak, but from where?

    Hello everyone. A crappy day got worse after I got home and saw an oil leak. I changed the oil last Sunday. I'm ashamed to admit that it was a quart low. The filter and drain plug are secure so where could the leak be coming from? What should I be looking at and in what order? Thanks in...

    Noise From Steeda Rear Chassis X-Brace

    I was in the trunk trying to track down a creaking noise that is coming from the right rear. Thought it was from a loose upper shock nut because it was indeed loose. After tightening it, I discovered it is actually from the Steeda Rear Chassis X-Brace, specifically the bar that goes to the...

    I curbed it now.....

    I have trouble engaging 1st, 3rd, and 5th. 2nd and 4th are silky smooth, just as they have always been. Something has moved or is broken. My first thought was that the shift linkage is bent. But, after conversing with a friend, he suggested I look at the motor mounts which I did and they appear...

    My first noise complaint!

    Hello everyone. In a strange sort of way, I am actually proud. My across the street neighbor came over to ask me to not rev the engine when I return home from work. I get home around 10pm, unbeknownst to me, he and his wife call it a day a 9pm. I'll do my best to keep it down. I hope he...

    Supercharging A "Mature" Engine

    Hello everyone. Just curious, what should be kept in mind when considering putting a blower on a "mature" engine? I ask because byt the time I save enough money for the blower and the various accessories my car will have at least 50,000 miles on it. I've thought off and on about staying NA...

    The Right Tire For My Power Level?

    I'll be in need of replacement tires for the stock Pirelli's. Is there such a thing as having too much tire for a certain power level? I ask because I'm staying N/A for the foreseable future and have been eyeing either 275's all-around or 255's/285's. I have the following power mods: JBA...

    Exhaust Tubing: 2.5" or 3.0" for a N/A car

    Hello everyone. I'm looking at getting a better mid-pipe for my N/A car. Which would be better for me, 2.5" or 3.0" tubing? I believe the Magnaflow is 3.0", the Bassani and Kooks are both 2.5". I would assume that a larger diameter tube would be better if I had a S/C or am I wrong? Also...

    Help Me Decide

    Hello everyone. I thought I had decided on what I wanted to do with the exhaust but like an idiot I kept reading and now I am confused. My car is a daily driver that will probably never see the race track or drag strip, just the occasional "spirited" street drive. That being said, would long...

    Small Dent In My New Spydershaft

    Hello everyone! I received my new Spydershaft today. The box was in good condition but I discovered what I would call a small dent in the shaft near the end that bolts to the differential. It's pretty small, even so, is that something I need to be concerned about or can I use it as it is...
