Finally burned through the tires that came with my rims (maybe 5,000 - 6,000 miles, and that took me 3 years). Been looking forward to upgrading to a drag radial; I can definitely use the traction. My two choices are Mickey Thompson ET Street or Nitto NT555R drag radials. The cost difference...

I threw a new code today, P0442 - "leak in evaporative system". I also threw code P1000 - "did not complete drive cycle", but that makes sense with this issue. What could be some of the causes for this code? This weekend, I did hit the nitrous a couple of times, from 4th gear high rpm on the...

I am finally considering the upgrade to long tube headers this year. I would like to keep my Flowmaster cat-back, as I really enjoy the deep, muscle car sound of the Flowmaster with an O/R h-pipe. What brand of long-tubes would you recommend? I know BBK has long tubes with a short H-pipe, but I...

I was switching from my Nitrous tuine back to my all around town tune, and all of a sudden, said "program failed". I tried loading back to the Nitrous tune, and it failed, and then I could not even start the car. So, I returned the car to "Stock", drove around a bit, and then loaded the Nitrous...

Throwing 2 codes, as follows: P0430 (bank 2 catalyst) P0442 What does code P0442 indicate? I haev no cats, and to myknowledge, the tuner turned off the O2 sensors and the O2 sensor heaters. Also, these codes just showed up, and I have not had car retuned in a couple months. What gives...

Have offer to purchase a 2000 Cobra R in the not too distant future. I would greatly appreciate a rundown of the specs, pros / cons, etc... of this vehicle, which I am totally in love with, of course. Please, comment of power, suspension, maintenance issues, etc..., anything that would be...

This detail process is based upon research in this forum, and appears to be used by multiple members. All products applied using specified color pad w/ Porter Cable 7424. This is my first time using a Porter Cable polisher, and I'm excited, heard great things. Here goes: 1. Wash car (have not...

I use a California car duster (gently) to remove dust, but that damn thing always leaves some streaks / smudges. I then end touching up the whole car with a light spray wax. I do not drive car in the rain, and hence, like to avoid washing as much as possible. I there a dust removal product...

Lately, I have noticed my cooling fan kicking on and staying on more often, even when it is 70 degrees and cool air outside. I was recently at dyno and adjusting tune with my Xcal 2, but I (and I assume the tuner) did not make any changes to the cooling fan. What are preferred settings for...

Wow, what a nice piece, hopefully install it in the next couple weeks or so. Anyone else using this? Please share your experiences, thanks.

What would be ideal A/F curve for nitrous throughout the rpm range? After the initial lean spike, how shold the A/F ration develop throughout the power band? Thanks.

"Service engine soon" light is on, read OBD with Xcal 2, generating the following codes: P0420 P1000 Please provide tech support and experiences with these codes / common reeasons for throwing these codes. Thank you very much for you assistance.

What power / torque gains have you seen from headers, specifically bassani mid length headers? I have an opportunity to but set of bassani midlengths with o/r x-pipe for $800, brand new. Guy bought 99-01 Cobra headers for a Mercury Marauder and they don't fit, and he will sell package for $800...

The front O2 sensor has four wires, 2 white, one grey, and one black. Which wire is responsible for measuring the voltage for A/F meaurement? I'm hooking up stoich gauge, and need reliable information. One fellow SVT performance member indicated black (as hsi best guess), and I plan on starting...
