    Finally Upgraded My Tune,,, But Different Dyno

    I don't trust the hub dynos at all. I have had cars tuned on them many times and if you are looking for same day gains during parts/tuning they work great. I have one Dynojet that I have used for 20 years as my go to for 1 off comparo numbers or to verify condition of engine in a racecar. It is...

    Weight reduction, i'm running out of options

    The car in my avatar went on a weight reduction program in which everything that could possibly be changed while maintaining safety was done. Even to the extent that I replaced the oem core support with an aftermarket because it was 2lbs lighter. The aftermarket bumper reinforcement was 2lbs...

    Replacing 4.0

    I did a 4.6/4.0 swap and it was easy. BUT, I bought a rolled over 4.6 car and used the engine/ecu/trans/driveshaft/rear axle complete. The engine wiring plugged right into the body harness. You should be able to buy a rollover off Copart or IAA for about 2500. This only worthwhile if the chassis...

    EPAS Conversion question

    The EPAS rack will not bolt into a 05-10 Mustang. You have to use the 11 and newer crossmember. Not sure if you are aware of that.

    Rebuilt title 2005 Ford Mustang Deluxe Convertible 4.0L v6, is it a good deal?

    Have been doing rebuilds of salvage cars for 40+ years. Never any issue with titling or insurance. Hundreds of cars. Family all drives them. I used to buy from the dealer auctions but quickly realized I was better off buying salvage cars that were obviously running when they arrived at the scene...

    Unless the wheel got shoved against the rotor it will be the axle shaft that is bent

    anybody know which fuse supplies power for the 5V reference signal for O2 sensors?

    Redfire for the win. I fixed it yesterday as I re-examined the fuses and found #47 was blown, just not in an easily seen fashion. Replaced it and car is fine. Came back on here to see if there were any answers and Redire has it on his answer. Thanks for the assistance.

    anybody know which fuse supplies power for the 5V reference signal for O2 sensors?

    Idiot clutch installer managed to cut a set of O2 sensor wires when he clamped them in between the trans and block. They are repaired but car now breaks up between 2500 and 4000 rpm. I need to find the fuse that provides the power for the 5V reference signal for the sensors. Anybody know?

    Gen 3 Coyote in 05-09 GT

    Just an FYI for those of you running a swap, the Ford ABS system will run on a stand alone basis without canbus interface. We have done several racecars where we gut the car of wiring and then just run on control pack. We strip the ABS matched pairs out of the main harness and install them on...

    Who's using what cold air intake

    We have a 2006 GT that is a road racer. With the intake stock (quality filter) and a catless X-pipe the car made 285rwhp with a custom tune. We installed the 07 Shelby GT CAI with its larger MAF tube and the car would barely run. Once the tuner was done with it the car was making 295rwhp with a...

    Frozen driveshaft bolts

    88GT251 is absolutely right. The Ford bolts have hardcore thread locker that comes off easily when heated. It doesn't have to be red hot. About 30 seconds on the bolt head should do it.

    Ford Performance Handling Pack in my V6 S197

    We rant the 05+ V6 car in SCCA T4 racing and won the National Championship with the Ford track suspension. IT WORKS GREAT. The V6 and V8 package use the same spring but the V8 spring is wound shorter than the V6 spring. Same number of coils and same size wire diameter. They both used the same...

    Question about 2006 4.0L

    I have many of the S197 Mustangs. We raced the 4.0 cars for years. I love these cars. Having said that, if the seller can't show me a receipt showing a new trans and timing chain replacement that is a 2500 dollar car...

    ABS module problems

    Very common for 05-14 to damage the wiring going to right rear. The exhaust pipe burns it.

    New Build - Won't start/run - Errors P0100 & U0121

    I had a car that sat for a few months and when I went to fire it up it would barely start and ran super rich. The only way to keep it running was to turn the fuel pump off and on to keep it lean enough to run. Turned out 2 off the injectors decided to stick open. They had less than 4 hours of...
