    shortened exhaust ques. ??

    If you've eliminated the back pressure and move the power band higher up in the rpms your going to lose the low end grunt. Your top end would be better but now the bottom end loses the power down lower. I don't know how much you would of lost but it will make a diference.

    Bassani Mid Length Headers Question

    I have the bassani midlenth headers and their O/R X pipe, and catback and honestly love the way it sounds. To me it's not raspy as all. I think it sounds real nice and isn't obnoxius like the flowmasters on every mustang here in town. As for the installation of their headers they are not that...

    Turbo dream

    looks like a pretty damn good kit. The one thing I guess would be it is with stock manifolds but anyone know how hard it'd be to get it to work with midlength headers. Doesn't really show much.. :shrug:

    4 Wheel Alignment- scam or necessary?

    On a solid rear axle vehicle there is no adjustments on the rear that can be made. When they take the measurements of the vehicle when doing a 4 wheel alignment they are checking the thrust angle of the rear. If the thrust angle of the rear axle is say out of normal spec they can tell something...

    Cowl hood after lowering?

    Maybe I'm the only one here that might seem to slightly agree, to a point, with the original question proposed. If it's a slight to subtle drop it's not going to make much of a difference there. I do agree if the car is slammed pretty damn low then yes, there isn't as much air passage way(paths)...

    super lean AFR/bogging/lost power

    I don't know much myself but maybe try adding some kind of octane booster or some higher rated gas to see if there's been a switch with all the additives that are put in the gas??

    Fan Module Out, Or So Mechanic Says...

    If you did not authorize any work to your vehicle then you don't have to pay anything for other then what you wanted done. If they took the part out and replaced it then that's on them. They need to take the new one out and put the old back in if you do not want to pay what their charging...

    Clutch Cable install...NOT ENOUGH CABLE..??

    FYI I"m pretty sure the stock clutch cable is designed to only work with the plastic quadrant to self adjust. So if your using aftermarket quadrant and stock cable you won't be able to adjust it properly... also summit is good about overnighting items from my experience.

    Clutch Cable install...NOT ENOUGH CABLE..??

    Summit Racing, order the FRPP adjustable one. I have this one on my car and haven't had any problems with the 2nd one. I'm not sure what the deal was with the 1st one, I think with the cold weather during the winter time that I did drive the car I stretched the cable out by not letting it warm...

    What does it take to have a higher revving motor?

    I do know you'll need a good set of rocker arms/followers can't remember the name in these motors here to prevent valve float. I read in one of the articals they gained like 40hp alone from changing them out on a blown car and gained like 20hp on the N/A. I do recall them saying they were like...

    BASSANI MID LENGTH HEADERS n X-pipe?????

    I have the bassani ceramic coated mid length headers, off road X pipe and the cat back. I love it myself. I get people complimenting my car that knows what it sounded like stock. At idle and cruising it's nice. At WFO it's like get the hell outta my way!!! :rlaugh: I've stated if bassani...

    System Too Lean

    Ty guys, I think that's a good place to start with cleaning the maf. I don't think it's an exhaust leak but very possible. I really appreciate the advice on what it could be. The vehicle did come with a mac CAI with the K&N and I cleaned the filter either really early this year or last year...

    System Too Lean

    I'm still trying to figure out why I keep getting code: P0174, System Too Lean bank 2. I have bassani mid length headers, O/r X pipe and cat back. I have the mil eliminators to shut off the rear sensors. It's hard to say but I've gone about a 3 weeks-month each time before the light comes on...

    mid-length header question

    As for that statement there I'd have to say that'd be for the long tube headers. I have the bassani midlenghts, 5 peice SS o/r X pipe and cat back. The header tubes are individual and if you follow the instructions they go smoothly. You do need to jack the motor up on each side to get the...

    Popping sound from rear

    I have a feeling that the only thing that it sounds like you haven't replaced are the bushings on the differential that the upper arms mount too. I pretty much about have the same setup as you there and I get a knock/popping sound like somethings rocking around and loose and those are the peice...

    Turbo Setups and Suspension

    I was hoping you might answer beings you've done this already. I take it from looking at all the kits it does the 4-1 header which goes down between the k-member and the coil or tublar a-arms then foward to the engine bay. I'm just trying to get an idea of where to start and go from here. Is...

    Installing headers with the heads off the car!

    I can tell ya right now no for the drivers side unless you have the steering shaft disconnected. The drivers side has the steering shaft going through the middle of the primary tubes. Pass side you might be able to slip in there if there's the room. I have them on my 97 and they honestly...
