    Auto to Manual Trans ''How to'' guide

    What year is your car? On the '05 -'06 cars there's a jumper already in place and ready to run under the dash on the driver's side. I know on '07 cars I found a plug under the dash that needed the wires cut and connected together because there wasn't the dummy plug inserted already making the...

    Strange issue with 06 that wont start up

    Sounds like a TPS issue. Have you checked for codes? If it happens again, hold the gas pedal to the floor. That shuts off the fuel completely, when it starts you may need to finesse the pedal to keep it running at first.

    Auto to Manual Trans ''How to'' guide

    That's great. I helped Temugen do his over the net. If I remember correctly he was 17 years old and NOT a mechanic. I was proud of him.

    Tranny fluid change?

    I'm a firm believer in regular filter and fluid changes in anything automatic from experience with our fleet of Ford trucks. I know that manufacturers switching to synthetic fluids has helped a lot, but that doesn't mean you should stop doing regular maintenance. Ken04 is right on the mark, but...

    1 piece spark plugs

    The short life span means you will have to replace them realistically before 10k miles. Great for race applications. If your motive is to not have the dreaded ''stuck plug'' you may as well do Autolite HTO plugs and change them every 10-12k miles and they will never seize in the heads at that...

    Anyone supercharged with the Hot Rod cam???

    Yes, it's been done repeatedly and the result is mainly a great sounding idle and maybe a little gain. The valve overlap is excessive for F/I causing some of your boost to escape out with the exhaust. A real good F/I cam won't have the cool old school idle. I can say Hot Rod cams won't hurt...

    Brake rotor surface rust around the hub

    Your best bet is engine enamel and primer.

    Auto to Manual Trans ''How to'' guide

    Best bet is to have your existing PCM reprogrammed by a competent tuner. From what I've heard this can be done on all '05-'10 pcm's now.

    Auto to Manual Trans ''How to'' guide

    You can, but it's more money. Your auto and other parts are worth about $800 for the trans and a couple of hundred for the cooler, pedal box, shifter. You can do it for less than 2k if you do your homework.

    Supercharger Question...

    By the way Kenny Bell is a twin screw not a roots. The air charge goes down in between the 2 rotors on a twin screw and around the outside (with the blower housing) on a roots.

    Engine coolant additive,which one ??

    What happens when a cylinder head gets hot inside is coolant flows across the head's surface and immediately boils off of the metal surface resulting in reduced surface coverage of the water. That causes more heat and less cooling. What water wetter does is change the surface tension allowing...

    You may be right, but that post was directly after mine where I referred to the weak powdered metal rods.

    Engine coolant additive,which one ??

    Stock gauge? If so, it's not accurate. Redline water wetter or the purple ice will do about the same thing and work substantially better when used with straight up distilled water. Anti freeze in the system limits water wetter type product's effectiveness. If you live where it freezes you'll...

    2005-2010 mustang?

    I don't care who you work for, the rods are weak for forced induction. They are the weakest link, but in your defense, they are just fine for N/A applications. This has been established for over 5 years. Where have you been? Forged, compressed powdered metal and thin as a toothbrush.

    Hurst Billet Shifter - Latest edition

    With 500 hp to the wheels MGW is the only shifter that allows me to consistantly hit third without thinking about it at all and I've driven more than a million standard shift miles. You just shove the shifter forward at any rpm and it just drops right in gear.

    2005-2010 mustang?

    Fact is, the rods are the weakest link. If you decide to boost the engine, make sure you get a true pro to tune it and stay at or under 10 lbs boost if you want any kind of longevity, even then, there's no guarantee.

    Auto to Manual Trans ''How to'' guide

    The issue of the car's pcm (computer) is one important item you will have to deal with. I did this swap back in '05 and very little was known. As far as I know, I was the first guy to do this swap and I assumed I needed a manual transmission pcm so I bought a Ford remanufactered pcm. I later...
