    Exhaust and 4.10 gears question

    I have a 96Cobra with Ford racing shorty headers, stock H pipe and magnapack mufflers. The exhaust sounds awesome around 1900-2300 RPMs, above that it doesn't sound very loud. I used to have 3.55 gears and I would be at around ~2200 RPMs at highway speeds and my car sounded awesome (not loud...

    Where to find ignition cylinder plastic cover?

    I *think* that's the name of it anyway ==> Mine broke, and I am looking for a replacement one that doesn't involve buying the whole ignition cylinder which is like $50 while I only need the plastic cover which shouldn't be more than $5. Anyone knows?

    275/40/17 on a 17x10.5 rim?

    So, I currently have 17x9" with 275/40/17 at the front and 17x10.5" with 315/35/17 at the rear. When I changed my front tires from Hankook ventus II to BF Goodrich g-sport comp 2 it started to rub while doing a full lock turn. My rear tires need to be replaced soon, so I was thinking of moving...

    WTB: 8.8 Posi 28 splines with 4.10 gears

    I am contemplating the idea of buying a used 8.8 Ford POSI unit with 28 splines with 4.10 gears in there rather than having new gears installed on mine. Make me an offer :loser:

    Changing idle with SCT Tuner?

    I have a bama tune with SCT Tuner and on their perf tune, they increase the idle to ~900 (instead of stock 650) and I wanted to lower that a little bit. There is an option when installing the tune (modify engine options?) to change the idle rpm: drv and ney: not sure what's the difference...

    New tires rubbing

    I installed a new set of front tires on a 96 Mustang early this week which are BF Goodrich g-force sport COMP 2 275/40/17, replacing my old Hankook Ventus II 275/40/17 and now the tires seem to be rubbing against something at full lock (I think they are rubbing against the struts or maybe...

    Help reading a data log

    96 Cobra with Perf tune from Bama. It looks like it's running rich if I am reading this correctly (very high voltage on the read o2 sensors). Also the bank 1 and 2 are not exactly the same at time +/-10%, but I am not sure if it's a problem. datalogView2_PerfTune_15-07-13.csv

    Testing the EGR with a SCT Tuner

    Does this looks like a functioning EGR valve? (96 Cobra) (pink = RPM) Data log: egr_test_08-06-13b.csv Slightly off topic, I noticed that I can only log IMRC plate Bank 1 and not Bank 2 (which doesn't appear in the list when creating a data config), is that normal?

    PCV valve question

    Quick question, is there one or two PCV valves on a stock 4.6L cobra engine? I replaced the driver's side at 60K a few weeks ago, but then I noticed on the Ford service manual it mentions "replace PCV valve (2)". Is there one on the passenger side?

    I need some help, I am at work and on my way back from lunch, I tried to turn the key off to shut the car down, but nothing happened. I could remove the key and nothing happened. So I decided to let it stall. But the electronics are still on (with the key not in the car anymore) and I can't...

    How hard is it to get used to 4.10 gear?

    I am quite set on getting 4.10 gear (found a local shop charging $250 for labor) but I was wondering how easy it is to get used to the 4.10? Is it annoying to drive in the city or in heavy traffic (more so than stock gear)? Did that change your ability to do hill starts (I live next to San...

    Thinking about upgrading exhaust system. Need advice

    I currently have Ford Racing shorty headers and Flowmaster mufflers (not sure which one, probably 40s) and chrome exhaust tips. I want something that is louder (but not crazy loud like SLP loudmouth), with a deep throaty sound. Being in California I do have a few restrictions though, I need to...

    SCT data logging question. Testing the cats.

    I was trying to test my cats (96 Cobra) as I did notice some loss of power and a quieter engine and/or exhausts in recent weeks. I got a varying voltage on both the front sensors that go from ~.01 to .9; and at the rear they start around ~0 while idling, and then bank 1 gets to a steady ~0.6...

    Using the SCT tuner to diagnosis a car

    Hi there, I spent some time yesterday trying to find tutorials on how to use a SCT tuner to diagnose your car but I didn't find all that much. Is there a website with such a thing? I know how to diagnose the IMRC on my 96 Cobra, which is a good start, but I'd like to know more especially on how...

    Car has gone quieter

    Recently I noticed that my car have gone quieter than it used to and I was wondering what could have caused that. It used to have a relatively loud and deep exhaust sound on the freeway or when accelerating quickly, and now I hear the wind a lot more than the engine when on the freeway. I cannot...

    Weird engine oil related question

    Ok, so something very weird happened this morning, I turned on the engine and the 'Low oil' light was on. I opened the hood and checked the dipstick: no oil whatsoever (I used a white rug and it was still perfectly white); I triple check, but yeah, no oil. So I go and buy some oil, add about 2...
