I'm getting ready to do a complete preventative cam train rebuild on my wife's 2010 navigator 5.4- timing kit, followers, oil pump, etc. I was toying with the idea of swapping in the stock cams out of my mustang while I was in there. Looking for feedback, positive or negative, on this. I know it...

I'm in the process of pulling my trans (TR3650) for a clutch replacement, and access to the top bellhousing bolts looks like it'll be tricky at best. I just had the thought that maybe I could lower the subframe, engine, and trans together by about 2" to get better access to those bolts. Has...

In an attempt to increase my speedometer's accuracy I've been experimenting with the tire revs/mile setting on my SCT (Bama) tuner. However, I'm getting different results than expected: My tires are 26" tall, which should mean a circumference of 81.64 in. Divide this into the 63,360 inches in a...

This weekend I re-installed the JLT CAI, making sure that there was a good seal between the intake tube and the MAF- a leak here is what caused an intermittent full-lean condition that I mentioned in a post last year. I also loaded the appropriate tune for the CAI. With the CAI the engine has a...

Looking for a little info. on the Shaker 500 sound system. According to the window sticker which I just found last night, my car (06 GT) came with the Shaker 500 system. It currently has a Dual head unit, which was in it when I bought the car. This unit has a lot features (Bluetooth, USB...

This has to be one of the the best values in a cat-back for the S197. $258 shipped from Advance Auto Parts with my SpeedPerks discount. All stainless construction, chambered mufflers (similar to Flowmaster inside) and polished chrome-plated SS tips. It sounds a lot like the Flowmasters I took...

I'm getting ready to pull the trans to replace the throwout bearing that just starting making noise, and of course with 127k on the clock I'll replace all of the clutch components while I'm in there. The only thing that concerns me is that the top rear of the intake manifold is very close to the...

No sure I'm posting this in the right place, but I guess someone will let me know if I'm not. Had a run-in with a deer a few nights back. Not too serious- couple of dents in the DS front fender and the headlight mounting is probably busted. First estimate is almost $1700, so I'm thinking of...

OK, here's something new (to me anyway): Cruising out to my uncle's place today at 60-65 mph all of a sudden the engine sounded and felt like the fuel was cut, like it does under certain de-cel conditions. The car maintained revs and mph but would not accelerate. Cruise control was off. A/C was...

If I'm not posting this in the right area, lease let me know. I'm just now getting into data logging, and have a few questions: I want to log both banks simultaneously, so obviously I need 2 sensors. Can I remove the downstream (cat monitoring) sensors temporarily to use their bungs? Is it...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this. I recently bought and installed these as my trim panels were peeling off. I'm pretty impressed with the quality, fit, and texture/color match. I forgot to add, I used Liquid Nails instead of the silicone in the video.

I recently changed from the factory H pipe to an X pipe, and I immediately noticed a buzzing vibration at about 2k rpm in any gear. It's only active over about a 200 rpm range. Sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the rear of the car but at other times it sounds like there is another one...

Anyone know of an aftermarket tachometer face for an S197? I would like to have one with a 6500 rpm redline. My search came up dry.

I currently have Prothane motor mounts installed, primarily to keep the headers from moving around and keeping one header tube from coming in contact with the steering shaft during hard right cornering and/or deceleration. For these they serve the purpose, and also improved the shifting as well...

Started on my 3:73 install/diff rebuild/axle rebuild tonight but hit a snag: the pinion would not come out. It moved about .125" then stopped. As far I know the only things that could hold it up would be the front pinion bearing and/or the crush sleeve. Is there a special puller available for...

Here's the tally: Phase 1: JTL CAI BAMA Rev-X tuner, and Bama tune. Hurst shifter Phase 2: Pypes Long Tube headers, 2 1/2" high-flow cats w/stock H-pipe. Already had a flowmaster 40 series axle-back. Revised tune Phase 3: FRPP intake manifold & hot-rod cams w/new followers & lash adjusters. New...
