UPDATE: I am now asking $500 for these, as I want them gone. For sale is a set of four 18" x 9" Hypercoated FR500 wheels from American Muscle and four mounted 275/35R18 Dunlop Direzza SP1 Star Spec tires. This wheel and tire package handles incredibly and grip is quite impressive, even in the...

I bought LED tail lamps from VLEDs.com, and when I turn the key on and the lights on, the tail lamps are way too bright. I think they are being backfed by something, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas?

As my sig indicates, I have a heavily modified 2001 Mustang GT. After over 2 years of work on the build, I finally got the car running. Unfortunately, I am getting a ton of coil malfunction codes: p0354, p0355, p0356, p0357, and p0358. Needless to say, the car runs like crap, but I thought at...

I've been trying to get the Mustang ready for the dyno, and I've been having persistent alternator / charging system problems. I've gone through three alternators now, and they all had the same problem: they don't seem to be charging the battery even though the idiot light seems to be working...

I posted in my build thread, but I wanted to post here as well for more visibility. I tried to start the Mustang on Sunday and the engine didn't turn over. People outside the car said they heard a relay clicking when I turned the key, but nothing beyond that. Any ideas?

I tried installing my new engine this past week, but I ran into trouble. When I dropped the new engine in, the passenger's side mount slid right into place, with the threaded stud all the way at the bottom of the slot and the little nub / button in its hole. However, on the driver's side, the...

I'm upgrading my Tork Tech intercooled kit to use a TVS 2300, so I have the old supercharger (Magnuson MP112), intercooler core, blower mounting plate, throttle body, and intake plenum / elbow for sale. I'm looking to get $1000 for everything. This would be a great option for people who want...

I am putting a 5.3L stroker in my Mustang, so I have a complete 2001 4.6L 2V for sale with 92k miles on it. I have no idea how much it's worth, so I don't have an asking price. If you're interested, send me a PM.

This is a Tech-related spinoff of my build progress thread in the 4.6L Talk forum. I am trying to decide on what I should do with the fuel system to support somewhere around 600 rwhp on a daily driver. I bought a Cobra tank with the sump & baffles, but other than that, no components have been...

It seems like there are quite a few 2v guys doing builds right now, and they all have progress threads, so I figured I should add mine to the mix. I am building a daily-drivable street car that will hopefully run 10s. I just bought an MMR 1000S stroker shortblock with the Boss 5.0 block, which...

As some of you may know, I'm going to be building a new engine, and intend to make at least 550 - 600 rwhp and similar torque. What can be done to the 4R70W to make it withstand this amount of power on a daily basis? Also, is there any way to make it "safe" to shift between 1-2-D or D-2-1...

Hey guys, it's been a very long time since I've posted here, but I need your help. I've had my Tork Tech intercooled kit installed for a little over a year and a half now, and today on my morning commute, the dreaded noise of rod knock reared its ugly head. So, in short, I'd like to hear...

At Penn State, the Penn State Lion's Performance Automotive Club holds an annual "Ultimate Street Car Challenge." The rules are pretty straightforward: there are three events: Show, Drags, Autocross. Cars must be inspected, insured, owned by the competitor who enters the car, and running on...

Hey everyone, I know there were a decent number of people interested in what my new Tork Tech kit would do, and I have the results after hitting the track and the dyno this weekend. I would like to say something before I give the numbers. At the dyno, there were a couple of strange things...

I was checking out my old intake now that my car has a new one, and I noticed that there is a TON of flash in the #7 cylinder intake port. I was essentially running on 7.5 cylinders! I wish I could get a picture of it, but they're not really turning out since the subject is black on black...

I'm sure some of you remember my thread I created a week or so ago about finishing up the Tork Tech installation. Well, last night, I finally finished clamping, wiring, plumbing, filling, and bolting, and fired her up for the first time. As Murphy would predict, I was greeted by a lovely...

So I've been working on installing my Tork Tech kit in my free time after work. It's almost installed, except that whoever packed the boxes at Tork Tech forgot to include the fuel pump and intercooler pump harness. Since this is my only car (I've been bumming rides off people to get around)...

Hi everyone, I've had Cobra brakes on my car for ~10k miles now, and since I bought the kit used and was using the existing rotors and pads, they wore out. I just bought OEM Brembo rotors and Hawk HPS pads, and put them on. When I took my car out to bed the pads, I noticed a disconcerting...

Hello everyone. I'm happy, after owning my car for three years, to finally feel proud enough of my car to show it off on Stangnet. The previous owner had really abused the car in terms of paint, poor exterior and interior modifications, and choice of factory options (I'm the second owner)...

Hey Guys, I installed a Cobra steering shaft a couple of weeks ago because mine was falling apart. During the install, I think I messed up the clockspring somehow because now the steering makes weird clicking noises when I turn the wheel. That was the only problem for a while, then one...
