    Front 02 Sensors...

    Ok, I researched this but could not find what I'm looking for... Let's say if you install long tube headers, an off-road mid pipe, and then turn off the 02 sensors via hand held tuner such as the predator. Then you screw the 02 sensors back into the headers and mid pipe but leave them...

    Dyno results...

    Today my car was dyno-tuned by Tony at HP Performance. First of all, Tony is an awesome tuner and I highly recommend him! Based on the mods in my signature the result was 267.28 Max Power and 310.70 Max Torque. With a 100 shot of nitrous it was 325.42 HP and 394.86 Max Torque on a conservative...

    The aftermarket K Member alignment myth...

    After weeks of being under my car with everything apart investigating the "aftermarket K-Member alignment myth", I have come to the same conclusion as many others and that is, they are pretty much "self aligning" meaning you really can't screw anything up unless you try to. The theory is that...

    Greasing the ole balljoint

    Anyone ever pump too much grease into your aftermarket ball joints? I did. So much that it literally popped the boot off when I mounted the spindle. Now I have to yank the spindle back off and re-grease. I wish there was an easier way to know how much is enough.

    Engine sits too far to the left...

    Has anyone switched to a tubular k-member and found that their engine sits a little too far to the left (passenger side)? I'll put some pictures up tomorrow but I swear my engine has more space on the driver's side than before. My jlt pipe barley fits in there so I may have to switch back to...

    $300 and 3 options...

    I have $300 to spend and I need at least the following but I can't make up my mind. Why is it before the $300 I could make an easy choice but when you have the cash in hand it's so difficult? 1. Aftermarket Aluminum Valve Covers (I broke the oil fill tube on my stock set so I will...

    Question for those who use QA1 Struts and control arms

    Last year I installed the QA1 K-Member on my 04 mustang gt and I love it. Easy access to my LTs and starter plus the weight savings. Today, tax refund came in and I want to finish with QA1 coilovers, struts and control arms. Here's my dilema... I'm confused about which QA1 struts and...

    I'm tired of searching for this because I can't find anything relative to my situation. - 2004 Mustang gt - I've got Eibach pro kit springs, QA1 tubular K-Member, MM Camber plates and a Steeda Bumpsteer kit installed and the tech at GoodYear says he cannot move the camber plates any...

    For you tubular K Member guys ...

    Ok, I just finished installing my QA1 K member yesterday and tomorrow I'm taking it in for an alignment. The pictures below show the driver side wheel pointing straight (normal) but the passenger side wheel is turned in some. For you guys who've installed one of these, is that the way it was...

    Somedays it just doesn't pay...

    ...to get out of bed! After finshing up a header install (MAC lt's), I realized the steering shaft where the rubber grommet is, is rubbing hard on one of the header pipes. Now i've got to remove everything all over again so i can pull the dang lt out and hammer a dent into one of the pipes...

    Ghetto Stang ...

    I see this car everyday on my way to work and couldn't help but take a picture to share with you guys. I couldn't get a shot at the front but it has marker lights glued and duck taped all over the front bumper and hood. I could only get off one picture because I didn't want somebody shooting...

    New Clutch Install "home installation"

    I decided to do my own clutch install just for the experience and because I don't need to use my car anytime soon. I drive a 2004 mustang gt and I'm replacing my stock clutch with a new centerforce dfx, new release bearing, pilot bearing and seal. I'm having a local facility resurface my old...

    Zex Spark Plugs...

    I haven't found any posts on what to gap these zex plugs for running nitrous on an 04 gt. I've seen posts for gapping at .035 and .040 but on much older cars running different systems. Anybody using these plugs? Did they come "pre-gapped"? What should I gap them at for running a 75 or 100...

    What causes plugs to turn red?

    In the middle of changing over to a colder plug for nitrous on my 04 gt I pulled two plugs that had turned red (see attached pics). These are motorcraft plugs. They went in white but they came out red. Anyone have a suggestion to what might have caused this?

    180 deg. thermostat direction...

    Here's a question which I have not found an answer to anywhere in my search. My stock thermostat has an arrow engraved on it with the words "radiator". Does this mean arrow points towards radiator or does it mean arrow points in direction of water flow to the radiator? I'm confused because...

    Mystery sound...

    When I got in my car this afternoon and turned it on, there's a loud high pitched droning noise that sounds like wind blowing through a pipe. This noise is loud enough that you can hear it a 1/2 block away. I opened my hood and the noise is coming from the front right passenger side somewhere...
