    Estimate how fast I was going.

    well... I got my gt to redline it in 4th gear... ~160 mph. I was excited to see it'd pull that fast, and I was excited to get back to 70 mph. One time was enough for me. Of course that's w/ 3:27's, so it's not really relavant to the thread.

    lean Lean LEAN

    Well, went to the drags today. The sucker ran a 15.7. So, in trying to find the problem, I pulled the plugs. The porcelan is as white at a white t-shirt, and the metal part of the plugs looked like it had been dusted with flour it was so white. I had a custom chip made without a dyno tune and...

    3.73 Gear Change- Need Help

    wait!! as I understood it, on a 96-98 (or 99) manual tranny, a speedo gear was all that's neccesary, as there is an actual gear in the transmission, while the speedcal (like an "electronic" speedometer gear) is only neccessary for the newer. Check it out before you buy a speedcal. The hole for...

    Engine Fan never turns off?

    Hey guys, Issue here. The radiator fan turns on 5-10 seconds after I start it, and never shuts off, reguardless of temperature. It runs cooler, if my judgement of the temperature gauge is correct. After It starts, it never turns off, anytime, anywhere, until the car is off. Do you think one...

    Gears in a 96. just need a speedo gear?

    Chad, I see your reasoning, but I've seen it done, and it's not rocket surgery. The biggest thing is getting the backlash set, and that's easily done with a magnetic base micrometer type gauge. got that. Also, I'm stubborn, and I've done everything else to my car, why spend 200 bucks now on...

    Gears in a 96. just need a speedo gear?

    Hey guys. The High powerband and 3.27's is about to kill me on this car! Also, all the talk of how incredible 4.10's are is making me drool. Anyways, as I understand it, on a 96 w/ a t-45, I can simply use a speedo gear to get my speedometer to read right, versus the 98 and newer must use...

    HOW MUCH FOR A DYNO READING?

    Hey, they're ford PI (performance improved) heads, which is what they put on the 1999 and newer gt's. They are from ford, as nobody has come out with an aftermarked head. Many guys are doing the headswap and seeing around 40 horsepower with just the headswap (which include the cams in the heads...

    LT Headers

    Actually, it sounds overwhelming, but it's easier (in my opinion) to pull the engine to do a headswap/ header install. You can drop the engine in with the headers on, and the headswap part of it will be much faster not being leaned over a fender. Only an opinion though
