    Need a tune but don’t know who to go with

    I didn’t say how much hp it has? lol Cams sound like the ford performance hot rod cams but I can’t prove any of the internal mods because the previous owner did them and he didn’t say what exact part everything internally was. Just said that it had them. He was a senior so I didn’t wanna give...

    Need a tune but don’t know who to go with

    I have a 2005 GT I bought that’s pretty much fully built NA and tuned on 91/93. I believe it’s running a little rich so I’d like to get a revised tune, and I have no idea who previously tuned it. Im also hoping an 87 tune would help so I’m not spending so much on gas when I’m just dailying the...

    Ticking sound cause by cylinder 8 (driver side cylinder closest to firewall)

    Header bolts were backing out and there’s also a crack somewhere along the header. So bolts are torqued down now and ticking is a lot quieter but still there cause of the crack

    Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys. Taking it to the shop in the morning gonna let them handle it. Fingers crossed yall are correct on the exhaust gasket. I am too busy with college and work to mess with the headers so I’m just gonna let them handle it. Will post an update when I...

    If you get the zinc coated ones you don’t really need anti seize, but as far as torque goes idk I don’t torque down anything cause I’ve never owned a torque wrench lol

    They are absolutely cardboard looking lol. Here’s some photos I screenshotted from the video. And oddly enough, the gasket on cyl 7 is the one that has a small crack, while cyl 8 looks perfectly fine to me. Anyone else see anything?

    Its a bassani exhaust and I believe the headers are bassani also. Unfortunately I didn’t do anything to the car it was the owner before me so I don’t have that sense of security knowing what was done with what and how well it was done. I can’t see that well in the engine bay, near that...

    Ticking sound cause by cylinder 8 (driver side cylinder closest to firewall)

    I think it was decelerating that cause it, couldn’t be 100% sure. I was coming to a stop light and I always downshift to slow down so I downshifted through the gears and when I got to the light I noticed it. Could have happened before, but that’s when I noticed. I drive for work and it’s a lot...

    It started up randomly the day before yesterday. And I did all kinds of trouble shooting. I replaced the coil, injector, and spark plug and it still ticks (I said that in the og post lol). But hopefully you guys are right and it’s an exhaust leak

    Here’s the link. Uploaded a few clips and included the one where it stops when unplugging the coil.

    I sure hope not. Losing money by the second so that’s not something I can afford right now if that’s the case. Trying to be optimistic lol. It doesn’t sound as deep of a knock as if it was rod knock, so I’m hoping it’s not. It’s more high pitched almost similar to a very loud injector tick

    Could the header runner coming from cylinder 8 be cracked?

    Well I just replaced the spark plug. Still ticking. I don’t have a torque wrench so it could still be loose, but I got it good and tight without taking the risk of over tightening it. I’m out of ideas on what it could be
