If you are going to run 91 or 93, then I would get Race. I have not tried the Tq, but based on how the Perf felt, I would probably try Tq for DD at lower octane. Race above all if you are willing to run highest octane. This is based on my recent experience with the tunes from Bama and my 2007...

I am very pleased with the Race tune and C&L from Doug at Bama. The car has come to life some now... I had to come off of the timing a little due to pinging, but my car has always been prone to ping. Just FYI...long wait, but worth it and Doug is very helpful.

I am finally getting my Street Racer/SCT kit from Bama today. I gave Doug my calibration code, but I bought the car slightly used with 7k miles. I am assuming it was never reflashed at the dealer, but I do not know for sure. Is there potential that I can get stuck if the code is wrong? Or...

I just changed the oil in my 2007 GT to Motorcraft 5w20. No problems I just noticed that the oil itself smelled like rotten eggs, which I haven't noticed in an oil before. I had to smell the opening in the containier to notice, but I was wondering if anyone else noticed that with the...

Since this is an oil thread I thought I'd throw in something regarding the 5w20 vs 5w30 debate. Like Ford...we all know that Honda requires 5w20 in most of their cars...accords, civics, odyssey, etc. However, the Civic SI requires 5w30...NOT 5w20. Is the SI made with greater tolerances and...

I had the same feeling where while pushing the clutch in you can feel some kind of resistance. Only sometimes and I think it was cold. I had a new KC clutch put in and it felt great with the old stock cable/quadrant still on. So, I'm not sure if it was the cable or just something else like...

You push the fork towards the front of the car slightly so you can pull the cable out. I just used a pry bar with very little pressure to move it forward a tad. You will figure it out when you get under there.

I have replaced mine twice with 764's and no issues. Put them in by hand until they stop and then I torque to 13 ft/lb with NO anti-seize. I change them each year or so...I'll probably go 2 years this time.

Taking off in second with stock gears would be harder on the clutch and just not necessary. Take off in first and drive it. I drive around town in 4th at 50 and my gas mileage is fine. 5th on the interstate only. 5th by 40 is too low. I'm in 3rd then. That is just my opinion of 7 years...

Don't do anything.

I installed the MM quad/firewall adjuster with their modified OEM cable after my King Cobra and no issues at all. The quad should make things smoother, not harder. Something isn't right if you are breaking the OEM cable.

I had no intentions of joining one, but I met someone playing basketball, went to a party and that was all she wrote. Off course they will be extremely nice until you pledge, then they ride your a## until you become a brother. I have no regrets and couldn't imagine not doing it. I really...

I think you are fine man. A little water through the intake shouldn't hurt. I also think some water can get past those boots pretty easily, too, but doesn't sound like you over did it around there. I don't wash my engine for reasons such as this, but you should be good.

Driver's side doesn't have one. You are probably thinking of the flange that MAC sends with their midpipes to help seal the driver's side due to the stock header studs not being fully threaded.

I have the RAI and I'd guess that once rolling at certain mph they will be the same. However, datalogging is too much effort for something that won't make a whole hill of beans NA. Plus, at the track you can pull the headlight for the RAI which is nice.

I'm guessing they are not worth the money for NA car as the gains would be substantially less than the 15hp on the SC car in 5.0. I'd guess a few hp maybe. Quality looked good in the magazine, though.

I have had those etched in spots on mine for as long as I can remember. If you're at the right angle in the right light you can see them everywhere. I have just accepted them and moved on since under normal outside conditions you don't see them. But yes, they annoy me when I do see them.

Well, sounds like your hypertech has you running pretty lean and/or timing too far advanced. I'd start by going back to the factory tune and see how it does. You shouldn't ping with your mods on 93 octane. Then, go from there if it still pings.
