    Squeeky Alternator Pulley

    How does one go about fixing a squeeky alternator pulley? I was told using WD-40 will only make it worse. Any alternatives? There's barely any room to shoot any kind of spray in there. Anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

    Driveshaft Bolts...trouble with reinstall

    Today I went about replacing my stock driveshaft with an aluminum one. So far I have the new one in, but it was getting late so I only got one bolt mounted. That one bolt was very difficult to install. I would say almost more difficult than it was to remove them in the first place. Is this...

    Steering Wheel Vibration

    My steering wheel has begun noticeably vibrating at cruising speeds. What could the problem be? Tires are pretty new, less than 3000 miles on them so balance shouldn't be a issue. There is no noticeable problem when braking so it's not the rotors. Any other suggestions where I should look...

    Interior Dye

    Anyone have experience with interior dye? I'm looking into maybe changing my interior to all black but there are certain parts that can't be had for cheap, like the air bag covers ($850) and various dash parts that would require me to buy a complete dash. So how does the interior dye look? I'd...

    What makes more power P&P Heads or Cams?

    Lets say you have a 96-98 and are doing a PI headswap. Would you see better RWHP numbers if you did a slight port and 3 angle job on the PI heads, or stock PI heads with VT Stage 1 cams (.050 lift 224/226 duration) or a similar cam?

    Bullitt Brake Install How To?

    Anyone have a link with how to install front rotors and calipers for our cars? I ordered Bullitt calipers and 13" rotors but have never messed around with the brakes. Also, for those who have done the swap am I missing anything? I've got the Bullitt front caliper set (part # M2320F which...

    Roush Heat Extractor Hood Inserts

    I posted this over in 4.6 Talk but I figured you guys might know where to find what I'm looking for. At the moment I have this same Saleen heat extractor hood sitting in a body shop waiting for paint but it doesn't have those black inserts. I can't find those inserts anywhere. Anybody have an...

    Problems with SCT Custom Chip

    I installed my mail order SCT custom tune chip yesterday. Took it out for a test drive and the o/d light began turning on and off. This caused the car to buck when I was decelerating because the RPM's were bouncing around. Shortly thereafter the check engine light came on. The connections...

    What PSI for Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator

    I just installed a Kirban adjustable fuel pressure regulator in my 97. I don't have a fuel pressure guage installed yet but I have one on the way. Anyway, what should I set the fuel pressure to once I'm able to what I'm doing?

    Benefits of a Fuel Pressure Regulator

    Okay I know it regulates the fuel pressure, but how exactly does that benefit me? I have to get my car re-tuned since I installed a 255 lph fuel pump, would a FPR be of any worth to me to install prior to having her re-tuned? BTW the car was getting no fuel above 4500 RPM after the headswap...

    Fuel Pump Installation

    Has any one installed a fuel pump on their car? How hard was it? I'm debating whether or not to do it myself or pay to have it done. Thanks.

    Dissapointed with headswap numbers what can it be?

    I got my car tuned today after doing a headswap and VT stage 1 cams. My best numbers were 234 rwhp. Where's all my horsepower!?! I was 191 prior to the swap. My A/F ratio goes north after 4500 RPM. Too much air not enough fuel getting in. If I upgraded my fuel pump to say a 190 lph would...

    Oil Change before or after headswap?

    I'm going in for the PI headswap tomorrow. I'm about due for a oil change also. Should I change the oil today or wait until after the work is done? I'm not sure if they have to take out the oil when they do the work anyway. Thanks.

    New guages installed, now check engine light?

    I just had two guages installed, water temp and oil pressure. On my way home the check engine light came on. The place that installed them isn't open till Monday so I'll have to wait to bring it back. What could have triggered it and is there something I can do to fix it? I also had a...

    How to remove shift indicator?

    Anybody know how to remove the plastic shift indicator piece on a auto that says P, R, N, D, 2, 1? I lost the orange indicator awhile back and decided to try and fix it today but couldn't figure out how to get that black plastic piece off. Anybody have a idea?

    Dyno'd the car for the first time

    I had my car dyno'd for the first time. I figure I want some before and after headswap numbers. I was a little dissapointed with the numbers. 191.1 hp and 286.6 torque. I didn't really have any expectations but those numbers just seem low. With the following mods, would you say my numbers...

    Went to NYIAS today, some GTR pics and info

    That car is absolutely amazing :hail2: The guy that was doing the presentation said that all the parts you see on the GTR will be available through the Ford Racing catalog. I don't remember his exact words but I think he said the total parts to make up the GTR cost about $60,000. Don't...

    Anyone dealt with Steen Racing?

    How are they customer service wise? How's their shipping time? I'm looking into their PI headswap kit. Looks like it's a good deal as it includes everything needed for the swap. I just want to make sure I go through a reliable company. Thanks for the input. -Scott

    What exactly is a dyno tune?

    What exactly is a dyno tune? I've been told I need to get one after I do my headswap. Do they just adjust air/fuel ratio and timing or is there more to it? How much does a typical tune go for? Thanks. -Scott

    Headswap Check List...am I missing anything?

    I'm getting 01+ heads/intake so are there any parts I might need that I've missed? The parts I'm questioning are a new alternator bracket, water pump nipple, cam sprocket bolts, timing chain, or heater core hoses. I've got most of the other basic gaskets and such. I've looked through many...
