    HELP!!!! Car wont start

    My PATS system was recently preventing me from starting the car like this. I had problems with the PATS system and my chip before, but this was new. Car just acted dead, but tapping the starter or popping the clutch from a roll would get it running. Try turning your key to the on position and...

    Tire Poll

    My Nitto 555 Extremes have served me well on the street for the last 2 1/2 years. They've worn well for me--probably because I rotate every 5-10K and don't do a lot of burnouts with them. Their dry traction is far superior to the factory Goodyears. I would buy them again. Just out of...

    Which shocks/struts to use with eibach pro kit

    I like my tokicos 5-ways, but you can go with premiums if you don't need the adjustability.

    anyone else's tint scratched?--removing door panels...

    Thanks for the "how to." I think these scratches were caused by more than just particulate matter. I will post up if I discover anything...

    anyone else's tint scratched?--removing door panels...

    My tint is being scraped by somthing in the window mechanism, but I don't know exactly what's doing it. The driver's side has scrape marks along the whole length of the window (most prominently in three places) and the passenger side has it in just one place (about 8 in. from the front edge of...

    Dynomax Mufflers

    Probably not much in terms of performance. Both are a straight through design. I looked at the dynomax muffs when I was looking for something other than the old 2 chamber flowmasters to go with my bassani cat-x. The ultra-flows are the old "race magnums." They're cheaper and louder than the...

    Speed cal

    You hot wire it to the cigarette lighter and run through the shifter well to the underside of the car where it plugs into the vss on the tranny. Pretty easy install, but you have to get under the car.

    UPR or Speedhut?

    I have speedhut's indiglos and I would buy from them again (except no indiglo next time... it's just not my style). Also, they will delete their logo for a small fee.

    Need Gear Advice Today For 1998 GT Vert!

    4.10s would work for you if you're going to headswap, but otherwise I say stay with 3.73s. I did and now that I'm blown I wouldn't want to have anything steeper...

    Bassani Xhaust?

    I've had the bassani x-with cats and quiet thunder catback on my car for over 2 years and 25K with no problems. The baffles help control sound within the cabin while cruising (especially since I wrapped them with extra fiberglass insulation), but the system remains throaty at all rpms and roars...

    what supercharger would be best for me???

    I have a p1sc. I personally think that the step-up ratio fo this blower matches the power band of the 96-98s pretty well. You see boost a little bit quicker with this blower than with the other centri's. The intercooler is a major plus as well. My car pulled 325 rwhp/376 rwtq. I have no...

    How much more sound can I get?

    You'll get a lot more sound! I had 2 chamber flowmasters with a bassani catted x and it was too loud for me. I don't mind a badd-azz sounding stang, but sometimes I just wanted wished I could quiet it down to could carry on a conversation, listen to music, hear myself think, etc... The...

    Laraccas?

    Sounds like you have a plan. I was very happy with LaRocca's tuning on my car. I don't think you can go wrong with them.

    Installation instructions for headlights!

    The headlamp is held in by 3 or 4 metal posts with black plastic "crimps" around them. Use a set of needle nose plyers to crimp the plastic parts before you pull them out and it will be a lot easier to get them off ;)

    octane boost

    My car was tuned back East as well. As previously stated, your best bet is to get re-tuned, take out some timing, or add more fuel. I have an FMU so I can increase my fuel pressure for the summer months, but I still don't dog it when it's super hot. I've heard about adding toluene, but I've...

    where to get 4.10's and where to get them installed?

    Find the best advertised price on Ford Racing gears and Summit will price match it with free shipping. OR... Decide where you're going to go for install and see what kind of deal they'll give you on the parts... You need some Cali people to chime in for you here.

    MagnaFlow...I dont like the sound!

    I've had both 2 chamber flowmasters and a bassani catback with my set-up. IMO the flowmasters gave the stang a classic muscle car sound. The bassani still produces a deep tone, but it's more mellow overall and there's a lot less drone with the tailpipe baffles in place. People say that it...

    Fuel Pressure And Boost Gauges

    I have autometer ultralite guages (boost/vac to 30 psi & electric fuel pressure guage) in the guage bezel pod. You can get all of these from summitracing.com. In addition, you'll need to purchase some extra fittings to hook up the fuel pressure guage. You can order the 90* fuel adapter...
