    livernois pi intake swap questions

    AZ, thanks for the replies- I ordered my kit and I think I'm going to go w/the accufab setup. I just feel more comfortable w/the adapter plates than just the RTV. Plus I priced both options out and by the time you buy the hoses and gaskets, etc. to accompany the PI intake (that come with the...

    Convert AUTO to MAN

    I also swapped to manual from auto, but i went with a TKO 5 speed. I wanted to have a little more fun since the car is not a daily driver and also be sure that I could handle future hp gains. I chose the TKO, Spec stage II, lakewood bellhousing, upr adjuster and bought the pedals on ebay. I...

    looking for friend's 97 cobra (Sold in 2003)

    Hi Guys, somewhat of a long shot- but I'm curious if anyone here knows of a 1997 Rio Red Cobra coupe that was sold around 2003 in NJ to a dealership, and then finally at auction in PA (i think) later that year (or give or take a few months). It was heavily modded but had some relatively...

    livernois pi intake swap questions

    My understanding is the livernois kit manifold is machined to compensate for the adapter plates. I think if you were to not use the plates like rustypwnz mentioned, the normal intake itself isnt the issue. I couldnt believe some of the numbers guys are getting, 25rwhp is worth it to me...

    livernois pi intake swap questions

    Hey guys, I'm in the market for the Livernois pi intake swap and just was curious what you guys did with your upper plenum and throttle body. I'm not sure I want to spend the extra money for small gains, but most importantly is that I want to use my stock hood. Also figured I should do the...

    Want to update my autologic tune from LaRocca's

    Hey guys, been a while...i'm considering doing some mods to the stang this winter. I currently have an autologic tune on my s-trim 98 GT, done by LaRocca's several years ago. 1)Does anyone know a reputable Autologic tuner in NJ/eastern PA? 2)I'm seeing a lot of guys are using SCT now...

    Aode to 3650 swap???

    I did the auto to tko swap. I figured if I'm gonna do it, do it right. LaRocca's did it for me, as there was no way I could've done that one on my own. Was very expensive, but my car was already a few years old and had a lot of work done. If I was your friend I would just trade it in (being...

    Procharger - Anyone running one on 96-98 car?

    The main reason for the intercooler was to increase how much boost I could run, I'm running a solid 10# with the occasional spike to 11#. I'm not 100% sure on my dyno numbers, I'll have to dig up my old sheets. With the setup at that time, I think I made something like 340-350 rwhp, and...

    Procharger - Anyone running one on 96-98 car?

    I've got a Vortech v-1, and I wish I had went with a procharger, mainly because it has an intercooler with the kit. I had to get a custom one (before paxton came out with one) to use with my setup. Also I got my tuning done at LaRocca's and they seem to get a little more power out of them over...

    brake caliper shims

    brake caliper shims, necessary? (13" upgrade kit) hey guys, i finished installing an SSBC 13" upgrade kit on my 98 GT, I went with the 4 piston, polished caliper. I highly recommend the kit (very complete), It looks awesome, and braking is 100% better. Problem- on my test around the block...

    Tar on Tailpipes???????

    Kerosene or paint thinner will work, use a terry cloth and let it sit for a minute. May require a bit more scrubbing than steel wool. I hosed off the tips and then used blue coral metal polish. Worked for me

    NJ Dyno and Predator Support?

    LaRocca's in Englishtown. www.laroccasperformance.com A lot of people say they do the best work around, I have to agree! Crazy Horse is also another popular one, can't say I've heard negative about them either. I don't know about the predator tune, but LaRocca's does their own custom dynotuned...

    rear tires rubbing bassani pipes 295/35/18

    i had a 1" spacer on my 17x9 cobra R's but w/the 18's they stick out of the fender too much...cuts up the tires and IMO looks kinda crappy. the 1/4 brought the wheels just about flush with the fender and I didn't need to use stud extentions.

    rear tires rubbing bassani pipes 295/35/18

    Hey guys, just got done installing some Ford Racing 18x9.5 Cobra R's. I went with 295 BFG's out back, and it seems to be rubbing my bassani tail pipes. I did a search and found a few guys with similar problems (especially bassani's), but no solutions. Did everyone go to a muffler shop and get...

    A few questions about 96-98 gts

    used to have an 4r70w in my 98, removed it for a tko swap with about 45k on it, no problems to report. Even had about 10k miles with a blower.
