    Is the factory intake tract all that ineffective

    I would ( & did) drop in a K & N filter and save some money. You'll get just as much HP increase and cost a lot less.

    skreeching/chirping noise in dash...

    I have the same problem and the other 04 Mustang I test drove had it too. What mine and the other Mustang's noise is the plastic wiper cowl. I finally figured it out while going through the car wash. When the fan's air hit the cowl it started chirping and then stopped as the air moved past. I...

    EXHAUST

    I use synthetic in all my cars once they are broke in. That black hole is probably a drain to let condensation out so don't plug it up. You'll see a lot of mufflers like that too.

    It goes to the air inlet tube up by the throttle body on the passenger side of the engine

    Nitrous Oxide Help Please

    I've used wet shots before in racing when you're adding 150 hp shots but for a street car a dry shot is much safer. The only solenoid that can fail then is the nitrous and if does nothing happens.

    Idle drop/jump and raw fuel smell

    I doubt it's either the IAC or TPS. Cleaning the IAC is a waste of time 99.9% of the time. I would take it to a good shop before you start throwing parts at it and spending a fortune and having it still not fixed.

    3.8 swap to 1968 302

    That 302 is a carbed motor so none of the computer sensors will function meaning it won't pass smog and won't be computer controlled. If you don't care about that it should go in fairly easy. I would install a fuel pressure regulator since you don't want over 7 lbs to the carb. Also a bigger...

    Nitrous Oxide Help Please

    I wouldn't go over a 50 hp shot on a totally stock motor without a tune for nitrous, one that would retard the timing. A 25 - 50 hp dry kit is what I would use. A dry kit is the safest, cheapest and easiest way to gain hp. I would still run higher octane gas and colder spark plugs though...

    Misfire problem solved!

    The last time I replaced the plugs and wires on a Camaro I had with a 3.8 two of the wires and one plug were no good!!! The car ran better before the tune up so you're right, just because they are new doesn't mean they good.

    why does my car starts without keys in the ignition

    Are you saying it's trying to start by itself with no key? It could be the starter bedix is stuck. Craw under the car and see if the starter is engaged in the flywheel, it shouldn't be while off.

    different size spark plugs???

    I could be wrong but I thought they were all peanut plugs now, even the 5.0. I'd look them up on line and see if they are the larger (3/4") or the small (5/8"). Make sure to use anti seize on them so it doesn't happen again.

    idle drops to 500 rpm when a/c is turned on

    The IAC is probably sticking, it's fairly common. As long as the IAC's motor is working it won't throw a code either even if the plunger isn't moving.

    02 MUSTANG V6 DUAL EXHAUST

    On the question of the CAI I had one but didn't like the sound of it. It sounds like an air leak to me so I took it off and put in a K & N filter and removed the air silencer from the box.

    why does my car starts without keys in the ignition

    Can you explain a little better what it's doing (or not doing)?

    Car running horrible after exhaust and CAI install

    You don't need to leave it disconnected for an hour. Just disconnect the positive lead and touch it to the negative post, that will discharge the computer then you can connect it back up. Skymarshal, Not trying to sound like a smart azz but if you can't feel a 30 hp gain in your pants you...

    my 95 stallion needs more horses! Any ideas??? PLEASE

    Your'e not going to find any for $300.00. Even nitrous will cost close to $500.00 and that's the cheapest power adder there is. Do as ChingonStang suggested and put in lower gears. It won't add power but it will be quicker.

    Starts then shuts off?????

    Yep, sounds like it's not getting gas. Could also be the fuel pump not putting out enough pressure.

    Need some serious power, any ideas?

    No internal upgrades will make it sound any different other than a big cam which you don't want. To stroke it means new pistons, rods and crank and usually clearencing the block for the longer stroke. That will give it more power but not sound different. You can run nitrous on it the way it is...

    Pullies

    Jegs or Summet. They should have them even if they don't show up in the catalogs.
