    Would you buy a Factory Required Vehicle?

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at an 04 GT that was a factory reaquired vehicle. The car is in nice shape and drives nice and all, but has a warranty history about 4 pages long. To sum the history up, the car had trouble with some interior and exterior trim, brakes (warped rotors), gear noise...

    Thinking of buying an 04 GT as a daily driver...tell me how you like yours..

    Hey guys & gals, I'm Jeff and i'm new to the 4.6 forums. I'm considering purchasing an 04 5-speed GT as a daily driver, but I was looking for some feedback from those who already have one:D I've driven a couple and they seem like a very nice driving car and more refined (much more) than the...

    Is there a way to make the C&L 73 MM MAF work with my combo without a custom tune?

    Heres the deal. I'm running a Thumper/Tmoss combo with a Comp Cam and a mass air conversion. It runs great with a stock MAF, but I also have a C&L 73mm MAF (with 19 lb sampling tube & injectors) but the car wont even stay running with that meter installed. Would a Mass Air Adjuster from IST...

    Codes 21,29,41,87 after mass air conversion

    After completing the mass air conversion on my 88 GT I'm having trouble getting it to stay running when cold (and it runs so rich your eyes water), and is way way down on power, and will buck like mad after a hot start. I have a solid, steady 18" of vacuum at idle, the TPS is set at 0.99 V...

    No start after mass air conversion.....

    I finished up the conversion on my 88 GT 5-speed with an A9L computer, C&L 73MM MAF, and an IST conversion harness, but now the car will crank but will not start. I have fuel and spark. All connections were soldered/insulated with heat-shrink tubing. The VSS wires are hooked up and the MAP...

    will a 1993 heater tube ass'y work on a 94 GT?

    Will a 86-93 heater tube assembly (that attaches to the lower intake manifold) work on a 94 GT? I am unsure of this because of the different designs of the intake manifolds. Any help or pictures would be great! Thanks!

    My car overheats randomly.....why?

    I've been having trouble for months with overheating. Water pump, t-stat, cap, hoses and fan clutch are new. Last night I drove the car 60 miles and got on it ONE time through the gears and it overheated, and puked a bunch of coolant out. Compression is 155-170 psi, and I know the head...

    Random overheating....need help!

    I've been having a strange overheating problem lately - Friday night i drove my 88 GT all over town for an hour and the temp never got above 180, then Saturday night it overheated in about 10 minutes. The car warmed up to temp normally and after about 10 minutes it just went straight up to 210...

    Lifter spider bolt torque?

    I'm putting new lifters in my 88 GT, and was wondering if anyone knew the torque spec for the 2 small bolts that fasten the spider retainer to the lifter valley. These bolts are pretty small, so they really couldnt take too much torque.

    2 months of trying to figure out ticking, and still no better off then when I started

    Collapsed lifter? I really need some advice!

    Here's the story: Over the winter I installed Thumper E7's with the upgraded springs and a Tmoss ported lower intake along with all new gaskets and seals for the whole engine. I reused the Comp cam that was already in the car and also reused the original pushrods and lifters. Also note that...

    Would I be better off with a stock cam?

    I ran a best of 14.77@95 last summer with the mods on my 88 GT as listed below. When i bought my car, I knew it had a Comp cam in it. The specs are:215/220 degress duration @0.50" lift, 0.533"/0.533" max lift. My car has speed density but the computer was tuned for that cam. My car still has...

    Hey guys, my 2.3L 93 LX is having some driveability problems. When the car is warming up, at part throttle it stumbles and backfires, but if i put the pedal to the floor, it clears up instantly and takes off. The check engine light hasn't come on while this is happening. I'll be pulling the...

    Anyone running Thumper E7TE's please come in

    I'm just wondering what your combo is and what you run in the 1320. I'd like to build up a mild combo using the Thumper heads as a starting point and just wanted to see what you guys all have. Thanks!

    Best Tires for Pony Wheels?

    Hey guys, I recently picked up a set of really nice pony wheels to put on my 88 GT. I think I'm gonna stick with 225/55/16 so they won't rub too badly. What tires do you guys run? I hope to spend under $100 per tire. Also, what makes Kumho tires so inexpensive? Are they any good? Thanks!

    HP gains with aftermarket ignition?

    I've been thinking of going with an aftermarket ignition, specifically the Crane Fireball because of its price and it includes a new Fireball coil. What do you guys run for ignition? And what do you think of them? Will I be gaining much over the factory stuff? Mods are in sig. Thanks!
