    Those of you with long tube headers- had any issues with exhaust alignment after install?

    I've had similar experiences with 2 exhaust setups. The first was with Pypes catted H, new over-axel pipes and MBRP mufflers, and most recently with BBK LTHs and a catted X. In both cases I couldn't get adequate clearance over the axel or the exhaust tips centered. After hours of screwing...

    Oil Pan and Engine Advice

    The chain installation really is that straight forward. Just line up the marked links and make sure everything is torqued properly. One thing to note is that after installing them, if you start turning the crank, the marks won't line up again until many turns later (something like 58 turns)...

    Guys who have done gears themselves.

    I did my 410's out of the car. It was my first time doing gears so it took a number of tries to get the shimming/pattern right. It would have been a real pita doing it on my back, especially for an old guy like me. I also did the UCA bushing, seals, bearings and painted, so do all that on a...

    Rear coil springs in relationship to ride height

    That's correct. Returning the rear to factory ride height will return the pinion angle to factory as well. Keeping the lowered front doesn't change the pinion angle since the angle is related to the driveline/chassis, not the ground.

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    The other day I went hunting for a rattle that developed in the rear. It didn't take long to find the exhaust rubbing on the panhard support. I installed all new exhaust a few years ago and it cleared then but I guess it sagged over time. I messed with it for a while and couldn't get the...

    Brenspeed Tunes?

    I got the similar Vortech V3 kit from Brenspeed and their tune was terrible. I eventually went to Lito and the difference was night & day. I would strongly suggest that you go with the HO kit that includes the intercooler. The Summer temps in LA are going to kill your IAT's. I ended up...

    Might be go big or go home time on my '06

    Ok, I was still thinking that didn't sound right. From the Vortech website: Novi 1200 = Vortech V-2 Si Novi 1200SL = Vortech V-3 Si The Novi 2200SL is a larger compressor with a 3.00" outlet capable of 27 psi. The V-3 Si has a 2.75" outlet and is capable of 22 psi. As best as I can tell...

    The Vortech V3 is equivalent to a Paxton Novi 1200. The 2200 is a larger unit.

    What am I missing??

    The Bosch sensors are identical with the only difference in the part numbers being the length of the pigtail.

    ProCharger blowoff inquiry

    MAFs in centri systems are set up as either draw-through or blow-through. My Vortech system is draw-through which means that the MAF is located before the SC (just after the air filter). The bypass valve is located just before the TB and the discharge from the bypass is piped back into the...

    SVE 3 Row Radiator - NEW

    It's a direct replacement for the stock radiator and users the same mounts. The extra width extends toward the motor. LMR has an install video of this exact radiator if that helps.
