    fair price for head gasket swap?

    Hey all - I was just wondering what a fair shop price for a head gasket swap on an 05 Procharged GT would be? I'm getting pretty widely varied estimates and I'm just wondering what would be considered a good price including any machine work to the heads and all parts/labor.

    ST Motorsports

    i never said that he does bad work. in fact, i said that i've heard he does GOOD work. i only said that after my personal experience with the shop, i wouldn't go back myself. :shrug: sorry? Jade

    ST Motorsports

    No offense to Adam at ST, he may be a great tuner/shop but my experience with him wasn't great..... at his last dyno day my car blew up on his dyno (probably wasn't his fault, i have my own theories on that, though). after that, he offered to give me a good deal on a blower-ready short...

    i hurt her bad, need some advice....

    yeah, it was out at st motorsports in san bernadino. not to worry though, i'm going all forged in the hopes that this doesn't happen again. it isn't torn apart yet, but my guess is spun bearing rather than snapped rod. adam from st said that the oiling system on those motors is notoriously...

    Headers - Which ones to go with?

    well, my 00 GT 5-speed is in the shop awaiting a heart transplant (spun a bearing on the dyno). i figured while the motor is being put back together, i might as well save myself on some labor and have longtubes put on it.... which brand should i go with and why?

    i hurt her bad, need some advice

    i completely agree with you. i think the guy running the shop has both a genuine love for mustangs and years of experience working on them. i'm a suspicious person by nature.....my car DIED on his dyno and i still want him to build the motor for it. i don't suspect the guy, his shop or his...

    i hurt her bad, need some advice

    and the car hasn't even been torn down yet...it very well could be a bearing, but from the sound it was making several people said it sounded like a thrown rod.

    i hurt her bad, need some advice

    it's in my nature to want to blame something or someone when things like this happen. BUT i still don't think the dyno shop is at fault for this. did the problem occur as a result of the dyno? probably, but i think it would have happened regardless of who dynoed it. i think the strain of...

    i hurt her bad, need some advice

    well, he just made it sound like he could pull way more out of it with a tune. it wasn't running way lean or anything, and he didn't bring it past 6000 rpm....so i don't see how it could have been him that blew the motor up? :shrug:

    i hurt her bad, need some advice

    here's her first pull on the dyno. as soon as the first pull was done he said "wow....SOMEBODY needs a TUNE!" the 2nd pull didn't go past 6000..... no mods on the motor, several people said that based on the amount of oil in the metal (yes, i meant to say "oil in the metal") that it could be a...

    lowering on 18's?

    hey everyone! just doing some 'bored on christmas' shopping and decided to buy some lowering springs for the 00 gt i just bought this week..... the last owner put 295/35/18's on it, and i think he also had lowering springs on it at one point, because the factory springs look brand new and it's...
