    Motor rough then stalled

    Welcome to making some power and shifting hard with a return less fuel system. Pumps on, pump off, this puts major stress on the FPRS because the FPRS see's these dips and tells the pcm to kick pumps on when rail pressure is low. You can work some of this out in the fuel tables of the time but...

    RPM dip braking hard AND high speed vib.

    Vibration did they index the drive shaft when they had the trans out for a clutch. The idle issue, your throttle plate most likely needs to be adjusted for off throttle position when warm or you have a lazy Iac (idle air control)

    Service engine light issue

    A lean code would not be from a Iac issue, the reason why the car stalls and the idle goes up and down is because you have a lean code and the PCM is making adjustments to ST fuel trims to compensate for a issue. Check make sure you have no vacuum leaks or hoses that blew off.

    Blew Diff seal 03 Cobra

    3.73's make a noticeable change, we have done over 50 sets and all the customers feel it and love them street or track. :nice: As far as blowing the tire off, anyone running stock tires needs a reality check.

    How strong is an 03 engine?

    The bulk of the piston failure is detonation IE tune or a mechanical failure, fuel pump, etc. We have many customers cars running around making 650+ as daily drivers. Anyone looking to make 750+ needs to look into a built engine, ported heads and cams. The post asked about what can it take, not...

    How strong is an 03 engine?

    The crank has been over 1200hp, the rods over 800hp, the pistons over 800hp. The weak link is people trying to make this kind of power with mail tunes and poor fuel upgrades and or detonation. The stock block is tough and has good internals to handle 700+ providing the tune and fuel quality is...

    Possible transmission trouble

    Many people mis-diag this issue and spend money on adjusters and cables. My car runs 128mph in the 1/4 and shifts like butter on a stock cable and no adjustors or firewall quadrant. There is a TSB on this from Ford.....We have done many of these. FORD: 2003-2004 Mustang ISSUE: Some...

    cobra backfire ?????

    Back-fire could be a few things, most ignition related than anything, plug wires, coil, do you have any codes (engine light) on. Many people need to get away from these canned tunes, example I had a customer come in with a 96 he had a blower installed on, he wanted us to tune it. After data...

    Roush My sorry dyno numbers...

    Who tuned this car? You are leaving some HP on the table. 12.0 is a little lean, not leaving much room for a mechanical issue, we like to see them 11.7 across the board. How much boost are you running?
