i just bought a new car 10 days ago and was excited that i could now start tweeking my stang, for years it has been my daily driver and i couldnt afford to have it in the shop for long periods of time. but i wasnt expecting this kind of repair. most shops around here charge around $100/hr for...

this shop is telling me that it is 27 hrs of labor and seeing that they have to pull the motor out half way and the milage (127K) he suggested replacing the timing chain. i just dont see how it takes that long to pull the motor??? his quote was $3800!!!

spark plug threads is it true that the heads on 99' mustangs only have 2 threads holding them in?? also, if i upgrade to say, patriot stage II heads, do they have more than 2 threads?

anyone out here from vegas?? need a good shop to tune my stang. just replaced the intake, and now it sputters at low rpm. checking spark plugs today, but want to get it dialed in :bang:

yes, the intake is new, had to replace because it cracked(like all of them) when i got the car back had to reset clock and radio, so i think the battery was disconnected. if not is there any length of time i should disconnect it for?

own a 99 GT and just replaced the upper intake, picked it up today and when i hit the throttle in all gears it sputters. i think it might be the fuel inj. or maybe the spark plugs, any advice??
