    Significant HP loss

    The supercharger was installed by the previous owner at Modular Powerhouse Racing in Marietta, GA. I contacted Vortech and they said the Supercharger was sold as a tuner kit (no programming and no fuel management). The kick panel has what looks like a stock chip with LLX4 imprinted on it. Here...

    Significant HP loss

    I understand what is implied by limp mode and could not agree more. I do not believe there is an installed FMU. I looked at some graphics online and did not see anything under the hood resembling an FMU. Cold96snake, yes the cats were toasted as were 2 of the O2 sensors. Replacement of both...

    Significant HP loss

    Hotpony, I had researched what I could from the net and a vague Hanes manual but could not find anything on troubleshooting the IMRC's. I had sprayed ether all around the upper intake, hoses, ect without any change of idle. I also paid a local ford garage to troubleshoot/fix this problem...

    Shhhhhhhh

    I had attempted to do the same thing awhile back and local motor heads had talked about exhaust inserts. The only thing I found doing a quick search was what was mentioned in this article http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2000/09/ccinserts/index.shtml. I thought Bassani made one but I did not...

    Speedo broken. Need advice on how to correct mileage on the replacement cluster

    BensBACobra, My odometer stopped working as well. I did some research and found out that the mechanical gears inside the speedometer can break down after years of use. I found this vendor on eBay that has a fix. I have not installed mine yet but the purchase comes with a 30+ page PDF with...

    Significant HP loss

    The X-pipe quieted the car a little and improved driveability some but still have issues. The IAC install did not fix my idle issue. I treated the gas then the crankcase with SeaFoam and I did not see any smoke like someone did in a video post. I am going to rebuild the engine but I have to...

    Short block configuration

    My fix to all the engine issues of my newly purchased 96 Mustang Cobra w/Vortech V2 SC is to build up a stroker engine. I am likely going to buy the Coast High Performance (CHP) 4.6L or 5.1L Streetfighter engine with 10.5cc dish http://www.coasthigh.com/Assemblies/Ford/ford_4_6.htm. The part...

    Significant HP loss

    I am going to install the new Magnaflow x-pipe this Sunday. I will let you know if that made a big difference or not on my HP loss. After reading this thread http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=421991 on AIC cleaning, I will likely just replace mine as well. $60 seems reasonable if it...

    Significant HP loss

    I posted before about a 96 Mustang Cobra I recently purchased with a high idle issue among others. After having my car serviced, I found out that my cats are complete toast. I also had to replace my SC belt and tensioner. After the belt/tensioner replacement, my car dynoed at ~255 rwhp. This is...

    New 96 SC Cobra with some issues

    I appreciate the ideas. I am going to take it into a Ford dealership and the tech said that he would give the car a good look over for any issues. As far as pulling and cleaning components ect., that will require me to tinker and have a little fun. Just some additional stuff I noticed is the...

    New 96 SC Cobra with some issues

    Hi, I just bought a 96 Mustang Cobra with a Vortec V2 supercharger and have noted a couple of issues (so far). The idle stays at ~2000 rpm for 20-30 seconds then drops to 1200 after starting and revving engine. I did discover a vacuum leak where the supercharger tubing attaches to the intake...

    new mustang mods

    Hi, I just purchased a new 2004 Mustang GT 40th anniversary convertible and am overall impressed but would still like to change a couple things. I big concern is anything that will void my warranty. I had a Bassani X-pipe on my 97' Cobra that sounded awesome. Is this a good choice for my GT or...
