    Power vs AF ratio

    Just wanted a little insight from people that may have watched a tuner slowly lean a car out and see what kind of gains it made. My situation: I put a 2.3 Whipple on my car along with a return fuel setup and got it tuned. The tuner turned off my ACT retard function and thus, 22-23* timing at...

    Vert guys, can I remove the X brace?

    I'm planning to do a complete tubular front end next year and I'm concerned I won't be able to use the X brace anymore. I'd like to lose it anyway because it does weight a few lbs. If any of your removed it, was there a noticeable change in the way the car feels or handles?

    Anyone tap off the defroster for wideband power?

    As the title says, I'm installing my wideband and would like to know if anyone has ran power from the defroster button. It's right there and would be very easy to use.

    Going to change my head gaskets.. advice, tips or cautions would be appreciated!

    So I have a blown head gasket due to my tuner turning off my IAT retard function resulting in lots of detonation. I've decided I'm going to pull the motor and replace the head gaskets myself. I've ordered the Felpro top end gasket kit from summit as well as new head bolts. Yes I know, now is...

    Accufab throttle body drivability mod

    Hey guys. I see this guy stopped making the kits years ago but I recently acquired a 2.3 Whipple that had one of these famous Accufabs installed on it and I'm having the drivability issues that so many others have had. If anyone has one of these kits on their car is there a way to duplicate...

    Anyone have a copy of the LiveLoad software for the Xcal 2?

    I just got a Xcal 2 from a buddy and it's unlocked and ready to go! Just need the software to use it. SCT took it off their website so I'm hoping one of you will have the file lurking on your computer still. I appreciate it!

    Bad head gasket diagnosis after Whipple install.

    Hey guys. So I just installed a 2.3 Whipple on my car with all the supporting fuel (return style) mods. Everything looked great on the dyno, A/F was spot on for a few runs and he cut me lose. On the street I thought I heard faint pinging but a buddy of mine said it sounded more like an...

    Odd issue with car after Whipple install

    So I installed a 2.3 whipple last week and had it tuned Saturday. The A/F was jumping around a little but he got it settled down and it ended up putting down 589 rwhp and 554 tq. So I go to drive it and it had some detonation at higher rpms. I don't have an aftermarket boost gauge and his was...

    Throttle very touchy after installing 2.3 whipple

    I noticed after installing this Whipple that even with a little blip of the throttle I see boost.

    GT supercar pumps and wiring upgrade questions

    I read this write up here: http://www.modularfords.com/threads/23568-Stock-Fuel-Pump-Wiring-Upgrade and it says it's for the stock pumps. When I bought my Whipple from a friend he included a 03/04 Cobra hat with GT pumps installed in it. It looks to have 2 holes where someone used nylon...

    Front end shake around 60 MPH

    Have a weird problem and need some help. Since I bought my car I have a front end shake at about 60 mph. 5 mph in either direction will cause the shake to disappear. It did this on my original wheels/tires, brand new FR500's and tires, and now with my brand used chrome stockers. The gentleman...

    Installed 18x10's in rear and it still doesn't look right.

    I bought a new set of staggered FR500's for my car and was disappointed when I saw that the rears were still tucked in as much as the stock ones were. The set is 24mm front and 22mm rear offset which is correct for a 94-04 cars. Is the IRS more narrow than a solid axle? I seem to recall the...
